out over the south route into Lille by

British airplanes began to fly low
over the city, hut not a British Tom

After tense minutes of anxious wait
ing three things happened. Charles
Delasolle, Jr., a French aviator and
son of the mayor of Lille, flew over
from Dunkirk and lighted on the
Champs de Mars. Two correspondents
of the _E*tlt Parlslen and Le Matin of
Baris trudged, after a long walk,
through the Armentleres gate ipto
Lille. Mellett and I entered the Pbrt
fib Pontes. Who Was first probably

The enormity of what was ahead of
us was not realized until we were
‘through the ghte. Our herulds were
shouting ‘The firfglish are coming !’*
Wave upon wnve of men, ‘women and

The brave British deliverers of Lille
later did get a tremendous ova j
tlon from the city. We saw a few sen-,
tries when we returned there having
their guns held by girls and being be 1
decked with garlands and fed with (
cgkes. We.saw other Tommies having!
their guns and packs carried by Lilli
girls. It is a pity that the first spon
taneous outburst of gratitude to thi
British should have been centered or
