JOHN BULL LOOKS
TO THIS COUNTRY
FOR LARGE CROWD
Fifty Thousand Americans Are
Expected to Go to London
to Coronation.

London special: Whatever anxiety
existed in London q non ago regard
ing the probable size of the contingent
from the United States during the cor

portable belief that Uncle Sam will be
represented quite as literally as orig
finally was predicted.
The latest estimate says it is likely
that las many as 10000 Americans ha-

there is always a new generation OF
freemen anxious to witness the historic
monuments and ceremonials Of a sys-
tenn we have Outgrown."
Sensitive as the Britisher will be to
the presence and attitude OF the Amer
ican contingent, his principal efforts
will be directed to entertaining the Wis
ftors from oversee self governing do
minions' and the great dependencies Of
the crown.

A society journal calls attention to
the "significant fact" adding that INC

discussed American dollar will play the
leading role in displaying to the Cana
dams the beauties Of the Thames al
