Paris, July 20.
Salutes of 101 guns welcomed King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain yesterday afternoon when their royal train came into the Bois de Boulogne Station, to be greeted by the President of the French Republic, M. Albert Lebrun; the Premier, M. Edouard Daladier and other Ministers of his Cabinet M. Jules Jeanneney, President of the Senate, and M. Edouard Herriot, President of the Chamber of Deputies.
The British sovereigns' train pulled in at exactly 430 p.m. Millions of cheering, enthusiastic Parisians were gathered near the station and throu; ed the streets leading to the Qu d'Orsay, where the royal visitors will stay while in Paris, At the same moment that the 101 salutes were fired by the battery of guns, thousands of pigeons were released, as a symbol of Anglo-French love for peace. A gigantic Union Jack was hoisted at the top of the Eiffel Tower at the same time.
The Band of the Republican Guard rendered the British and French national anthems, while the Band of the Fusiliers played Champs."
