CEREMONIES IN PARIS. (United Press Association—By CableCopyright.) (Received 12, 2-25 p.m.) Paris Nov. 11. At the chief ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe President Doumergue, the Prime Minister, and members of Cabinet laid wreaths on the Unknown Soldier’s tomb. Cannon announced the one minute’s; silence, after which troops and their bands defiled before the tomb and saluted the President. The day was observed as a general holiday. An interesting incident was a visit to M. Clemengeau by a delegation of veterans. M. Clemenceau, chatting with the delegation, said: “Thank ybu for thinking of an old man who must soon disappear but whose last wishes will be for the future greatness of his country.” When the delegation said they hoped to visit him yearly M. Clemenceau said: “Well, that means we all meet again in 1930.”.
