At about this time a beautifully ap-
pointed equpage drove along. In which
were three ladies' each completely attlr-
ed in one of the national colors, red, white
and blue.
There must have been millions Of flags
sold during the day. The whole city was
covered with them. There. was little other

WOULD BLOW UP OUR SHIPS.
Threat Made Against Our Attacking

London, May 2o.-"However much Tur-
key may wrong the United States, Ameri-
can ships are not to pass the Straits in or
der to exact redress from Constanunople,
under penalty of being blown out OF the
water by Russian German and Austrian
ships"
This is the deduction drawn by the
Spectator, which, in the course of a
lengthy article, based on the anti-Ameri-
can utterances of the Lstok of Odessa,
deals with the alleged hatred Of America
by the Continental Powers. especially
Russia.
The Spectator concludes that the Listok
article, which passed the censor, was writ
ten by some diplomat and draws American
attention to it, main tanning that the Listok
voices particularly and truthfully the dis
like and suspicion against America, which
is now nearly universal among continen-
tai governments"
