EMOTION IN FRANCE
BRITISH GUARDSMEN ACCLAIMED MARCHING IN NATIONAL DAY PARADE. PEOPLE BREAK THROUGH CORDON. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 9.25 a.m.) PARIS, July 14. The sight of British guardsmen at the head of the military parade to mark the French national day, proved too much for thousands of those present. They broke through the cordons and held up the march for 20 minutes, shouting: “Long live England!” “God bless our friends!” The guardsmen were forced to hold their rifles above their heads to avoid injuring frantically emotional men and women. The President', Mr Lebrun, cabled King George, praising the “magnificent appearance” of the British participants in the parade.
