Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Peace Conference, Day by Day: A Presidential Pilgrimage, Leading to the Discovery of Europe A strange animation has suddenly taken possession of this quaint old Breton city of Brest on this memorable Friday, December 13, 1918 .Vast crowds of fisher-folk and peasantry, in holiday attire with starched Brittany caps and laces, pack the streets and public places. The whole city is ablaze with bunting. School children in groups sing along the street. Soldiers, sailors and marines march and counter-march and line the quays. Special trains are arriving from Paris bringing the Chiefs of State, Cabinet Ministers, field marshals, generals, admirals. Ambassadors, statesmen and the leaders of parties are assembling. All of them, the mighty and the lowly, are moving toward the ocean front with their eyes straining off to seaward. For at noon today the ancient city is to have its most momentous experience since Julius Cæsar arrived here, 55 years before the birth of Christ, on his way to add Britain to the Roman Empire.
