Will the July 14 Review take place?
Arrival of Ruhr hunters

A battalion of hunters, on foot, coming from Gelsenkirchen to attend the July 14 review, landed early yesterday | in the afternoon, at La Chapelle station. To get to the Pépinière barracks, the hunters followed, music and flag at the head, under an implacable sun, the rue Lafayette. Arriving at the Haussmann-Lafayette intersection, the detachment commander ordered a break. But the bundles had barely formed when three men, exhausted by the heat, found themselves ill. They were immediately taken to the ambulance car. As for the others, who showed obvious signs of fatigue, they were taken pity by the neighborhood merchants who rushed around them to bring them refreshing drinks. After the ten minutes of statutory rest, the battalion, comforted, resumed its march and reached the Pépinière barracks, where it could finally take a well-earned rest. This is what boils down to the facts which, as they spread to the Chamber, took on an unforeseen magnitude.
However, we may be surprised that after having made young men undertake a grueling journey in overheated cattle wagons, the military authorities thought it necessary to still impose the fatigue of a march in full sun, through Paris.

Questions in the House
Colonel Girod filed a request for questioning on "the incidents which marked the arrival in Paris of the troops to take part in the review of July 14 and on 14 participation of the aviation in this same review according to my program stopped ". Mr. Boussenot and several of his colleagues have expressed the intention of joining Colonel Girod in asking the minister to suppress the July 14 review. As for the participation of aviation in the review, the questioner believes that it would be imprudent to have too many aircraft fly over the Longchamp field, out of fear. accidents always possible. ;
…and to the Senate “Due to the heat, the Senate would be grateful to the government for taking the necessary measures to eliminate the review of July 14, which would constitute exceptional fatigue for the land and sea troops and could cause regrettable sunstroke. » This is the text of the proposed resolution which will be tabled today, on the Senate desk, by MM. Racbet, Debierre, Roustan and forty of their colleagues.
