ENTRANCE INTO METZ HAPPIEST EVENT OF WAR

People of Lorraine in Picturesque Demonstration Greet Arrival of French; . METZ, Tuesday, Nov. 19. (By tho Associated Press) The historic event accomplished at 2 o'clock, this afternoon, when Marshal Petain, commander-in-chief of the French armies, made his entry into Metz, the great stronghold of Lorraine and the pivot of German's effort to cmsh France, may be said more than any other happening to consecrate the victory of the allies In this war. The occasion, in which the French commander figured for the first time as a marshal of France, also gives rise to one of the most picturesque demonstrations ever carried put by the people of Lorraine. From early In the morning all the roads leading to Metz were crowded with Lorralner on their way to the city to raise their voices there for Marshal Petain and for France. Other things German had disappeared overnight, including the statue of fhe German rulers, which had been hauled down by the citizens. William I had toppled over from the horse of his equestrian monument, while Frederick III, who for many long years had pointed a menacing finger at

France, from the pedestal upon which he stood, had come down with a rope around his neck. Former Emperor William II was still left to figure grotesquely as a statue on the facade of the-cathedral. The hands had been chained during the night, and into them had been put a band with thU inscription: "Sic transis gloria mundl." Flags were flying from the statues of French heroes still standing in Metz. . , , Celebration Begins Early. These preparations were made last

night after the departure of the Germans, and today every inhabitant of the city, with the exception of those of German origin, was out early in readiness to receive Marshal Petain. The Marshal made his triumphal entry together with a staff of allied officers, at ,the head of the famous Iron Division, the Thirty-ninth division of the Twentieth Army Corps. Following was a long procession of Lorraine societies and other groups, including a great number of girls in the national costume of Lorraine. This procession met the marshal at the Port De France and conducted Mm in triumph to the esplanade where surrounded by a remarkable group of generals and other high officers, he received the troops that had earned the honor by contributing to the victories of the allies on almost every battle field of France. Hands with torches appeared as f oon as the lights began to fade and jubilant processions continued gaily to circulate through the town until a late hour. Meanwhile, from the French lines all around the fortress, there

was a brilliant display of firework ' which brightly lighted the sky, signal fuses and star shells serving as skyrockets. J A considerable number of Germans i still remain here. Some of these tried ; to put a good countenance on the situation and join in the throngs out of doors, but. their glum faces were most-; H Kff-n from open windows, jrrrine

out' with curiosity mingled with interest. Those Germans that were met with the crowds were treaated with a

consideration that prevented incidents. I

Airrren Drop Flags. While the crowds were waiting the arrival of the marshal the citizens gave free voice to their sentiments in their newly recovered freedom and practiced their newly acquired French in vociferous acclamation of the French army and the allies. Signalling the approach of the marshal and his accompanying cavalcade, airplanes began flying over the town about 1 o'clock and the air was soon full of miniature Tri-color flags, which the airmen dropped.

A little later the cannon of the forts j around about the city, whichhad just been taken over by the French artil-J lerv began firing a salute of 300 !

rounds. The famous cathedral bell, the motto on which reads. "I announce

justice" gave the signal for the other

bells in the city to peal rortn a welcome to "our liberators." When Marshal Petain appeared on the esplanade, mounted on a fine white charger and followed by the entire general staff, with American and British officers attached, a shout went up that drowned the whirr of a dozen or more airplanes flying overhead and the crowd surged forward, breaking th line of guards in places, to get a glimpse of the victorious commander of the French armies. Still mounted, Marshal Petain, surrounded by a most brilliant group of generals and other officers, took up his position In front of the statue of Marshal Ney to review the troops comprising the Thirty-ninth Division of Infantry, with its artillery under Gen. Pougin,- a detachmentt of the first corps of cavalry, under Gen. Feraud; other mounted trops under Gen. De Boissieutwo escorting squadrons from the first Moroccan division and a detachment of tanks. The staff of the Tenth Army, which Gen Mangin was prevented from heading because of the accident he had met with, was lined up directly In front of the marshal, while Gen. Fayolle, commanding the central group of armies, stood near the commander in chief just in front ef the Ney sta

tue, which the various superior officers saluted in passing. , Cheers Greeted Every Flag. Enthusiastic cheers of "Long live France!" greeted every flag as it ap-;

peared. The dignity of the reviewing ceremony, however, prevented the people from giving free play to their joy. The case was different in their con-

tact with the " troops in the streets after the column had left the esplanade. Then there were three columns

two of which were of citizens marching, on either side, hand In hand with

the soldiers In the center. : Pretty Lorraine girls brought a blush to the cheek of many a-poilu with unexpected embraces, Aged women, who had known Metz when it once before was French, threw kisses and cried out thanks to their liberators from open windows along the line of march. r The ambition of every child in Metz appeared to be to shake hands with every man in a French or allied uniform and to give him a cordial greeting in French, which, although often deficient, was never misunderstood. The people of Metz, the majority being Roman Catholics, know Latin if they are not strong on French. They crowded around the Cathedral all morning to witness the transformation of the ' statues. Meanwhile the statues of the French heroes, Ney and Fabert (Abraham DeFabert, marsbil of France in 1658) were decked with flowers and bunting. French military engravings appeared as if by magic in

the windows of art stores and an oil painting of Napoleon was hung out from a conspicuous window, where it would be in full view of the incoming heroes. Preparation? for the reception of Marshal Petain were made Sunday evening at the first public meeting in forty-eight years at which the people of Lorraine could meet freely and converse in French without running the risk of being sent to prison. All classes of citizens participated, including newly returned exiles, and excluding only that element of the' population descending from immigrants. All were out early this morning' in long processions along the line of entry of the French troops, which were approaching the town in three columns along the Moselle to unite at Montig-ny.

E D3TOKIAL 'V A word about the New York merchandise market. Everybody knows that all business throughout the entire country has been practically at a standstill fo'r the past six weeks, owing to the unfortunate epidemic, also unfavorable weather conditions. The ready-to-wear business suffered a great back set. The New York manufacturers had a great many orders from their regular customers in work at the time, for which they were obliged to accept cancellations, and a good manufacturer is like a good retailer; he will not let goods remain in his place long, but figures first loss best loss. As a result our buyer, who was in New York recently, was able to buy about 300 Coats and 250 Dresses, all the products of the very best manufacturers. They were bought at a price that enables us to offer them at 25 to 50 less than they would ordinarily sell for.
