Here is a striking pieture from Paris of the obsequies of the late Marshal Foch, illustrating the people's tribute to the great war leader at the Arc de Triomphe. The body of Marshal Foch was taken to the Arc de Triomphe and the draped bier placed upon a gun-earringe beside the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior to lie in state. Our photograph shows the scene at the Arc de Triomphe, with a file of mourners passing the Tomb to pay homage to the dead leader. The coffin was afterwards removed to Notre Dame in readiness for the funeral ceremony and the burial in the Invalides near the Tomb of Napoleon. (Times copyright).
