YiOuni Makes Address.

Without formality S'ec'y Daniels motioned to M. Viviani, minister of justice and former piemiec of France, who advanced slowly into the center. F.efore the tomb of Washington, whose efforts towards liberty his own ancestors had gloriously aided. M. Viviani delivered an address in which the whole force of his emotional povveK deepened by the significance and som-breness of the occasion, fought for expression.

The spectators, though most )f them could not understand French, caught the suppressed feeling and lire of the orator and followed his words spellbound as they quickened under the thrill of his imagination. Apart from his voice not a sound could be heard. And as he finished, the silence became supreme with the general realization that no applause could express the emotions aroused. M. Viviani uaTJ in part: "We eould not remain longer in Washington without accomplishing this pious pilgrimage.

"When we contemplate in the distant past the luminous presence of Washington, in nearer ttmes the majestic figure of Abraham Lincoln. vvhen we respectfully salute Pres't Wilson the worthy heir of thes great memories, we at one glance measure the vast career of the American people. It is because the American people proclaimed and won for the nation the right to govern itself; it is because it proclaimed and won the equality of all men, that the free American at the hour marked by fate has been enabled with commanding force to carry its action beyond the seas; it is because it was resolved to extend its action still further th.it congress was enabled to obtain within the space of a few days the vote of conscription and to proclaim the necessity for a national army in the full splendor of civil peace. "In the name of France, I salute the young army which will share in our common glory. "While paying this supreme tribute to the memory of Washington.

I do not diminish the effect of my ords when I turn my thoughts to the memory of so many unnamed heroes. I ask you before this tomb to bow in earnest meditation and all the fervor of piety before all the soldiers of the allied rations who, for nearly three f.irs. have been fighting under different fhgs for the same ideal. "At this solemn hour in the history of the world, while standing from this sacred mound, the final victory of justice, send to the republic of the Fnited States the greeting of the French republic."
