AND MADAME LEBRUN
London, To-day.
The close friendship subsisting between Britain and France accounted for the extraordinary warmth of the welcome accorded President and Madame Lebrun when they arrived in England yesterday on a State visit which is lasting until Friday:
Londoners turned out in force along lavishly decor- ated streets which at some time or other the distinguished guests will traverse during their stay.
French colour emblems entered largely into the
scheme of decoration.

The party entrained for London where they were met at Victoria Station by the King and Queen and
other Royalties, the Prime Minis- ter, other members of the Cabinet
and notables.
