...publicaine, added motorcycle outriders for good measure. There were 10,000 reserve officers in the houses along the route. Thus the State progress from the Bois de Boulogne to the Arc de Triomphe, down the Champs-Elysees, across the Place de la Concorde to the Palais d'Orsay, last week was a stately military parade, enlivened by wave on wave of cheering, and by Gaelic chaffing at the expense of "That scared rabbit Sarraut!" As the King's car reached the Place de la Concorde, there broke out from the Eiffel Tower an enormous Union Jack, said...
China's Ambassador in Paris, Dr. V. K.

General Yague was said to have...
Frenchman in the U. S. He was the guest at Newport of General and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, and on wisecracking terms with President Roosevelt and the press. He was called back to Paris to become Chief of the American Section of the Quai d'Orsay, but State Department propheteers are sure he will ultimately return as Ambassador. He is the ace of the French diplomatic service in dealing with persons who speak English or American.
