HARVESTERS' EXCURSIONS

RAILWAYS
WI7`H THE CANADIAN PRESS

ahead of the special, pulled in„ and
the whole party boarded the regular
which immediately pulled out. 170
people into a tiaiu that was already
partly occupied, caused quite a few
to stand throughout the journey of
several hours, Coming, as it did,
after a hard day's travel • through
the war zone, the standing was any-
thing but comfortable, and although
we boarded many trains in the fol-
lowing few weeks, our guides saw
that we never again made the same
mistake, One of those who was for-
ced to stand during the train ride
was our old friend, Win. McDonald,
of Chesley, and being a tali man and
past his prime, his hands naturally
sought something to hold on to,
Reaching above his head, his hand
finally come into contact with a rope
which seemed a fitting thing to
grasp. He did so, not knowing that
it was the bell rope. In a few mom-
ents the train came to a stop, and
the officials hurried through to find
the reason why some one had rung
the bell. Needless to say the French
and English languages do not read-
ily mix at any time, but much less
so on this occasion. William, like
the rest of us, was perfectly innoc-
ent of the cause of the commotion,
and it was not until after the train
was well on its way again that a
kindly Frenchman, who was able to
speak English, informed us of what
it was all about. It was too late
then for the miscreant to apologize
or make amends, so he acted the
part of the wise man and kept his
silence. The train officials are still
looking for the man who pulled the
rope.
During our days on the battle-
fields and in Paris the Canadians
were the guests of the exclusive club
the Bienvenue Francaise, of which
Marshall Foch is the most disting-
uished member, and the formal din-
ner under his chairmanship was one
of the noteable features in the Paris
itinerary. In his address of wel-
come he spoke very highly of the
part the Canadian boys had taken,
particularly at Ypres and Vimy.- Al-
though he spoke in French his
speech was translated. The Mar-
shall is quite ordinary looking and
very unassuming in manner and ap-
pearance, for, while many generals
and other officers were in military
dress he appeared dressed in plain
evening clothes, and without a sin-
gle adornment or mark of his high
rank.
One of the unique privileges of
the Canadians was a lunch in the
peristyle of the Grand Trianon at
Versailles, which connects the two
buildings. This was a special
favor, as it was the first occasion of
its kind although the peristyle is
over 100 years old. During the day
at Versailles wetouredthe person-
al quarters of the Kings of France,
and their gardens and palace,s visit-
ed the rooms where the delegates
of all the nations lived during the
days when peace terms were being
drafted, entered the rooms where
they assembled, and sat around the
table where the famous Versailles
treaty was signed in 1919.
In Paris as in Brussels we paid
homage to the illustrous dead of the
republic by placing a wreath on the
tomb of the unknown soldier and
stood with bared heads in silence
for ;one, moment. The bier of the
"Soldat Inconnu" is placed beneath
the famous Napoleon Arc de Triunph
and over it is an urn in which fire
is :burning continuously. Daily
numerous wreaths are placed on or
about -the bier.
We were received and entertained
in Paris also by the President of the
Republic, the Mayor of the city, and.
the r great newspaper owners.
Although our stay in the city
was for only three .' days and four
nights` we found time to tour the city
in cars, visit the great 'parks • and
historical places, the old buildings;
see the various ,monuments, muse-
ums, the Prince 'of Wales residence,
the many arches, neautiful boule-
vards, see the shows, and spend a
few hours in the great stores, as well
as go up the Eiffel Tower.
The Opera House of Paris is -a
wonderful fine building and is the
largest in the world. The land on
which it stands cost ten million
francs.
Napoleon's Triumphal", Arch is 47
yards in height and 45 paces across.
It was begun in 1809 and finished
in 1836
On the great square, the largest in
the world is an Egyptian Obelisk
which dates twelve centuries before
Christ, ` The square was the scene

The Museum of the Louvre is an-
other wonderful Paris building,
being the largest museum in the
world, started in the 15th century
and completed in 1858. From the
time of commencement to its com-
pletion each succeeding King of
France added a portion to the build-
ing.
Near the Arch of Triumph' stands
the Hotel Astoria where the Kaiser
had ordered canner for himself and
staff to be prepared when he expect-
ed to arrive in Paris on August the
14th, ten days after commencing the
war. Needless to say he did not ar-
rive.
Of history we herd a great deal
and much of it we have since for-
gotten. Trying to crowd the know-
ledge of centuries into a few short
days is too much of a task 'to be suc-
cessfully done even by the brain of
a newspaper editor.
•
On Sunday June 29th we left Paris
by train for Dieppe, crossed the
Channel to New Haven, and thence
by train to London where about 6
p.m. we became comfortably settled
in the hotels Cecil, Russell and
Gwalia,
A number of the party enjoyed
the unique experience' of making the
trip bp air from Paris to London
Among them were Mrs. Heaman and
Mrs. Skelton, of 'Exeter. The voyage
by air is somewhat, , of a sensation,
