FRANCE KNEELS IN TRIBUTE AT BIER OF MARSHAL FOCH

GREAT, LOWLY MINGLE TO PAY HEROMMAGE , Highest Funeral Honors Nation Can Bestow Will Be Paid. ADORED BY COUNTRY Mild - Mannered Military Genius Was Esteemed as Victor, Savior. BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, March 21.—The body of Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, victor over everything but death, lay in state today not far from the eternal flame at the tomb of the Unknown Poilu. Clad in the dark blue uniform of his country and decorated with the blight ribbons of her brightest honors, the “Little Warrior” slept quietly at last behind the shuttered windows of his home on Rue de Crenelles. France knelt before the bier of the mild-mannered military genius, who claimed, in death, the redoubled esteem and adoration of the nation which had honored him as victor and savior. Heir to the military glory of Napoleon. the supreme commander of the allied war-time armies probably will lie for a day beneath the broad curve of the Arc ds Triomphc. Great Funeral Planned Then, after the greatest national funeral honors which France can bestow at Notre Dame cathedral, the body will rest In the Invalides, according to present plans. The funeral will be the greatest ever given a French hero, official sources announced, although plans have not yet been completed. The national services probably will be delayed until Sunday or Monday to permit time for arrival of foreign delegations. There was satisfaction today in the hearts of the men who had come back from the mud of trenches in Flanders that “Le Marshal” had • uttered, even with his last breath, the cry of the poilu, “Allons Y!” (Let’s Go). It was with the shout “Allons Y” that the poilu leaped from the trenches in the World war. It was with that same phrase that Foch replied to his attendant when the ptient was told that it was time for him to return to bed, a moment before death came to him at dusk Wednesday night. Pershing to Attend Rites -* The government placed before the chamber of deputies this morning a bill providing for the expenses of a national funeral for Foch. Andre Tardieu, minister of * interior, pointed out that the services would be the sixth accorded in the last fifty-six years. Victor Hugo, Gambetta, Pasteur, Carnot and’the late President Felix Faure alone have been so honored, the minister said. General John J. Pershing, who had planned to go to the Riviera to complete his recovery from an attack of influenza, will remain in Paris to attend the funeral. Great and Lowly Mingle Silk-hatted Japanese envoys, Egyptians wearing the fez, laborers doffing their shapeless caps, former poilus, all mingled in common grief in the courtyard of the Foch home today as they sought opportunity to enter the salon doors to pass the black catafalque to which the body, dressed in full uniform of horizon blue, had been removed from the bedroom upstairs. The white wax-like face of the supreme commander of the allied forces is deeply lined with the marks of the months of suffering, in marked contrast to the firm, healthy countenance that thousands of American doughboys knew so well. To any one who had not seen Foch in the last three months the wasted figure was hardly recognizable. Most of Foch's decorations were pinned across his left breast, his hands were crossed over them, and his blue, cavalry great-coat was folded across his feet and legs to the knees. No marshal’s baton or sword was there. His head was bare. No Flowers at Bier l\|adam Foch revealed that the marshal had specified in his will iliat there were to be no flowers at his funeral and the absence of these as he lay upon the catalfaquc made the .stark simplicity the more impressive. Over his head were draped the allied flags he loved to caress during the days in which he steadily grew I weaker. He often waved his hand toward the American flag during the last week when he spoke to his confessor or physicians about hundreds of letters and telegrams of sympathy arriving daily from the United States. President Doumergue spent ten minutes beside the bier of Marshal Foch this morning. He then expressed the sympathy of the nation to Mine. Foch. The president, was followed to the Foch home almost immediately by Georges Clemenceau. war-time premier. Shortly after Ambassador Myron Herrick had delivered the American message of sympathy at the Foch tome af noon. Generals Pershing, oflre and Petain arrived at the touse to pay their respects.

Confesses ‘Faking ’ 1928 License Plate to 1929

Plumber Arrested Pays $lO Fine ancl Costs for •Counterfeiting.’ The scheme of John Mills, 37. proprietor of a plumbing shop at 1231 Central avenue, to save money on truck license plates failed today when he was fined $lO and costs, a total of S2O, on a charge of having improper license plates in municipal court. “One way of not having to spend the money,” Mills answered when asked why he attempted to operate his plumbing shop truck with 1928 plates “counterfeited” into 1929 plates as charged by George H. Johnson state policeman. Mills attempted to operate his plumbing shop trucks with 1928 license plates revamped into 1929 plates, according to Tohnson. Mills, according to Johnson, had taken 1928 plates, hammered off the ID in the 1928, but changed the 8 into a 9 and repainted them in the 1929 colors. The fact that the figures on the 1928 plates were one-eighth of an inch wider than those of this year’s plates was the only flaw, according to Johnson. Driving past Mills’ shop Wednesday afternoon Johnson noticed the extra thickness of the figures on plates on a truck in front of the shop. Mills admitted the counterfeit scheme and said he also had the same fake plates on another truck Johnson said. FOOTSTEPS OF FATHERS By United Press NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 21.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VOTE OUSTER OF GOVERNOR IN OKLAHOMA | Senate Court Holds John- ; ston Generally Incompetent for Office. I By United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, March 21. ! Ex-Governor Henry S. Johnston followed the trail of Jack Walton today after a senate court has ousted him on charges of incompetency. Johnston was looking tor a job, just as Walton did in November, 1923, after the senate had voted him out of the executive mansion. W. M. Holloway, Lieutenant-Gov-ernor, was sworn in as Governor Wednesday night immediately i—rer Johnston nad been found guilty by a majority of the state senators. Preceding the former Governor in the exodus from office was Mrs. O. O. Hammonds, Johnston’s confidential secretary until recently, who was the storm center of a political battle that started two years ago when Johpgton’s enemies opened their attack. Center Attack on Woman Mrs, Hammonds, a youthful-ap-pearing woman of 40 and mother of two grown sons, resigned when Johnston was suspended two months ago after the house of representatives had impeached him. Johnston’s enemies centered their attack on Mrs. Hammonds. The enemies charged Mrs. Hammonds “ran the state” and was entangled in the corruption alleged to have existed in administration of the state highway department. Two years ago when Johnston first became embroiled with his enemies he dispersed a session of the legislature with state troops, later being upheld by the supreme court which ruled the session was unconstitutional. Johnston made a desperate attempt to free himself of charges. He was on the witness stand seven days, answering questions from his own attorneys and sidestepping queries from H. Tom Kight and John Head, two of the “self-styled four horsemen” who fought the Governor for two years. Dismissed Secretary When opposition first was manifested against Johnston and Mrs. Hammonds he refused to dismiss her because, he said, of rumors started by his enemies that his personal relations with the woman secretary were improper. A charge of improper relations, made in a purported impeachment article voted by the abortive legislature session two years ago, was not renewed this session, so Johnston said he felt justified in accepting Mrs. Hammond’s resignation.
