Paris, May Jl. The Stars and
Stripes and the tri-color of France
flew side by side Friday over every
American grave In France, white
- doughboys and poilus performed
the military honors in a great Me
morial day observance by the
French nation.
There were detachments from the
army of occupation at most of the cem
eteries, but there were a few remote
burial grounds which the American
troops could not reach, and oyer these
graves detachments of poilus fifed vol
leys for their comrades in arms. -BET
URN FROM CEftMAST
From every corner of France came re
ports today of a great, national trib
ute to the Americans which made it
seem almost as though France had over
come for the moment the pangs of losing
nearly 2,000,000 of her own sons, to de
vote her whole heart to the 70,000 cru
saders from overseas. . '
General Allen, commanding the, Amer
icans on the Rhine, sent every available
soldier back into France In detachments
to visit the various scattered cemeteries.
The principal ceremonies'' were at
Suresnes, where Ambassador Wallace
and Marshal -Petain, commander in
chief of the French armies, delivered
addresses In memory of the dead, fol
lowed by a volley from a platoon from
the Rhine. General Allen- spoke amid
.the beautifully kept graves at Romagne
and the regimental band of the Fifteenth
infantry played.
CHILDREN IOTI AMERICANS
General Frank ' Parker was the
speaker at Ploisy, General John O'Ryan
at Bony, Colonel Cabot Ward at Beau-,
mont. Admiral Hum at Belleau wood,
and Colonel Sladen and Major Fochet
at Chateau Thierry. ,
Other ceremonies were at Toul, Thla-1
court, Fere-en-Tarlenois, Fismes, Neuf- j
chateau. Contrexevtlle. Vittel, LeMatis,
St. Nazaire, Dijon. Is-Sur-Tille, Lan-
IcreC Rouen, Chalons-Sur-Mame, Tours, k
Isevers, Mesves. St. Malxent. Juvingy,
Bordeaux, Marsailled, Lie Havre, La
Rochelle, Names and Lyons.
At every ceremony the French people
turned out in thousands, trudging along
dusty roads . to bare their heads and
pray over the graves of their American
friends. It was, noteworthy that child
ren were so numerous, almost . every
child carrying a wreath furnished by
the Red Cross or a simple boquet of
wild flowers plumed in the woods and
fields over which the Americans toiled
and fought.
SOLDIERS REMEMBERED
The Red Cross in Paris mobilised a
motor convoy system which carried
most of the. American colony to the
nearby cemeteries
At Brest, besides decorating the
graves, the French erected a huge
memorial cenotaph to Oie American
sailors burled there. .At Marseilles the
merchant sailors In port joined the
American colony in the ceremonies at
the request of the Q. A. It., and Cleve
land Cox placed a wreath on the La
Fayette memorial. ' -
More than 1,000,000 francs was raised
by the Paris American colony, which 1
was spent for more than 70,000 wreaths,
or one to a grave. The wreaths were
distributed in time for the services.
Nor were Vie graveB in Belgium. Lux
embourg and along the Rhine neglected.
for the American committee had fore-
thought of them. ;
- Throughout France the ceremonies
were official, the government having i
ordained a national observance to re-
consecrate the friendship of the two !
"countries. Cardinal Lucon of Rheims
requested his people to - offer their
prayers for the intention of the Ameri
cans, i
FLOWERS MAKE STATUE
The scene at Suresnes cemetery caused
the eyes of many disciplined soldiers to
blink with tears.
Three battalions of French infantry,
.four cavalry squadrons and two bat
teries joined the detachments of dough
boys down from the Rhineland in pay
ing homage to the fellows who died for
the great cause.
Thousands of Americans came to the
ceremonies, but they were assimilated
by the great multitude of French' peo
ple who trudged to the little graveyard
atop the high promontory dominating
. the Bois de Boulogne, It waa an Indel
ible picture these fervent thousands
standing under the towering pure white
plaster figure of a doughboy rising
from a plinth of flowers laid there
, wreath by wreath.
"TAPS" ENDS CEREMONY
President Deschanel's card was
among those to be read on the wreaths
heaped at the foot of the silent dough
bey monument which stood relaxed with
rifle at the trail and a flicker of a smile
on the handsome features, faithfully
watching the sleep of his buddies.
The background was a grove along
whose edges the drawn sabres and burn
ished cuirasses of the cavalry gleamed in
the sun. And down the slope, like lilies,
the white crosses slowed on the rreen.
each wreathed in the tri-color and the 1
Stars and Stripes. ' ,
, Handkerchiefs hid many eyes as the
last volley cracked across the valley
and a bugler at the base of the statute
blew "Taps."
FOLLOW THEIR LEAD
The French girls have not forgotten
their friends, the Americans, for I saw
many of them kneeling before the white
crosses, praying devoutly or arranging
bunches of flowers on the mounds as
tbe column of steel helmeted French
troops moved away down the hill at the
clone of the ceremony. :
"The heroes who lie there," said Mar
shal Petain in his, address, "are not in
exile, for France is their second mother
land. She loves them and she comes to
pay them homage today as though they
were her own sons." .
"We cannot add to the honor won by
these men who died on the field of
honor," said Ambassador Wallace, "but
we can learn from their example and re
dedicate ourselves to the tasks of the
peace which they died to gain."
