Reburied

The ashes of Jean Jaures, famed French Socialist, who was assassinated on the eve of the outbreak of the War in 1914, were deposited in their final resting place -- the Pantheon, national shrine of Republican France.

All Paris, except the Royalists and Communists, turned out to witness the passing of the cortege. In the Latin Quarter, men, women and children broke through the police lines to throw red eglantines and red carnations on to the catafalque, pushed by brother miners of Jaures' home Department.

In the Pantheon, the ashes of the dead man's body were laid to rest to the tune of La Carmagnole, anthem of the Revolution.

Premier Herriot, who with President Doumergue and the whole French Government, was present, eulogized the slain man, recalled his brilliant and famed oratory, his career, said: "Maternal France receives him lovingly in her Pantheon because he represented several of the highest qualities of her genius; because it was in being so profoundly French that he showed himself so widely human."

The Marseillaise sounded the conclusion of the spectacular ceremony; and the procession dispersed as Communists sang the Internationale in an adjoining street and Royalists held a morning ceremony at the grave of Marius Plateau, Royalist slain by Germaine Berthou, the girl anarchist.
