HONOR AMERICANS
IN AUSTRALIA
Business Suspended in Sydney
and the City Given Over
to Entertainment

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SYDNEY, n. S. w. Aug. 21.-With an
official dinner by the State department
and entertainments in every theatre to-
night free to the American officers. sailors
and marines the first day of the festivities
in honor of the American feet came to a
close.
Sydney never presented a more animat d
scene than tonight With business prac-
tically suspended in order that every one
might give himself over to the entertain
ment of the feet thousands Of visitors
thronglng the streets. the avenues and
buildings brilliantly Illuminated, bands
on tht streets and orchestras in the cafes
and the feted Americans everywhere in
evidence the day finally closed. The at
tentions shown the officers OF the fleet
by the city state and dominion represen-
tatives and the sailors and marines by
the townspeople are just as marked and
cordial as manifested in Auckland and the
friendship for the English cnlonists hat
was quickened in the visit TO the New
Zealand port has been still further deep
ened. - the royal welcome in this city.
Parade of Sailors and Marines.
The parade of 1900 sailors and marines
which owing to a slight stupidity on the
part Of the local officials threatened for a
time to result I'm an embarrassing, If not
serious complication, was held to-day,
the Americans marching between solid
lines OF cheering thousands
When Admiral Sperry pointed out that
there was ample precedent for the sus-
pension of the regulation against the land
ing of armed foreign forces and that the
marines would be at a disadvantage in
marching unless they carried their guns
the local officials quickly waived their OBJ
lection The parade was a tremendous
success and the military appearance of the
American ELECTED unstinted praise from
press and public. The Sydney papers are
filled with the doings of the sailor lads
To-days program includes railway excur-
sions in the morning. q naval regatta,
football and baseball matches and exhi-
bition by the fire brigade in the afternoon,

PACIFIC MUST BE
FOR WHITE MAN.
Sentiments Expressed in the
Speeches in Connection
With Fleet Reception
AMERICA REFLECTS THE IDEA

BY II. Lee Clotworthy. STAFF Cores
pondent of the U. p. A., aboard the
Georgia.
SYDNEY. N. S. w, Aug. 21.-The
Pacific ocean must be a white mans
ocean"
This sentiment. rife with sugges-
tions of tremendous involvement in
the Orient has been either expressed
or implied in every speech in connec-
tion with the reception TO the Amer
lean fleet in nearly every expression of
the Australian press and is the first
subject broached when an Australian
meets a Yankee officer or tar.
That such is the feeling of the Eng
lish colonists was indicated to the
Americans in their visit to Auckland,
but that such was the burning pas
sion of the Australians was not re-
vealed until this city was reached.
The extent Of the demand on the
part of Australia for an Anglo Ameri-
can alliance to control the destinies of
the Pacific and thereby the destinies of
the Orient the life drama of which
must be enacted on the Pacific, has
greatly surprised the Americans. They
had no idea Of the intensity Of this
thought, which is uppermost in the
mind of every English colonist.
And If Admiral Sperry and the other
American officers are speaking by the
card" America fully reflects this senti-
ment.
Awakens Enthusiasm.
This implied support Of the Austral-
ian cry by the American representa-
tives has awakened a tremendous en-
thusiasm for everything American and
accounts for the magnificent reception
accorded the fleet. The presence OF
the fleet the most powerful that Aus
tralia ever saw, has given the people g
keener realization of the resources OF
! America and England and they ar,
sounding the battle cry of a white SUI
premacy on the Faciic more exultingly
than they would have dared have
sounded it before the arrival Of the II
/ great American seafighters, strength
ered them in their convictions. TIL,
Australians are now demanding tha
every further aggression of Japan an,
China in the Orient be checked an,
that Australia herself begin TO real
ize their vantage position. Along thi
line. the conservative Daily Telegraph
says:
"The conmonwealth's DEVELOPMENT (
made apparent when considered agains

gence from Oriental seclusion. 1t

been no intimations received by the state

The story that there was any likelihood
Of the recall of Minister Knowles. or OF

proved to be. upon investigation here
without foundation and was brought 10

tics Of Roumanian politics.
Parliament Not in Session.
Investigation here shows that the Rou'

sion since last April. Minister Knowles
was authorized to negotiate an eNtradi.
