is A GALA DAY
IN MANY LANDS
Numerous NationaIities Join With
the United States in the
Celebration Of Their
independence.

II HE Fourth Of July is here again,
with the usual round Of festivi-
ties, beginning with the morning rain
that threatens to spoil the day, but
never does, and ending with the glori-
Gus fireworks at night, write Frederic
j. Haskin in the Chicago Daily News.
Nor are the orator and the creased
pig conspicuous by their absence. This
is an old, old story here at home, but
how our Independence day h cele-
brated abroad, in many different
lands, is a story that is seldom told.
Wherever Americans go they take
their Fourth of July with them. II is
not too much to say that the strange
folk among whom we carry our ma
tional custom soon learn to watch for
the day with great deal more inter
est than they do the holidays Of the
other countries, their own holidays
excepted, OF course. Even under this
head, however, our day completes with
their own time honored Publications
for the simple reason that many Of
the countries have no independence
day" of their own.
Foreigners Are Friendly.
Most foreigners are utterly indiffer-
ent to the comings and goings of other
nations, they who should be their
brothers, or else they exhibit only con-
tempt for everything that does not
conform to their own peculiar way OF
doing things This is not SO Of the
American Fourth of July. They all
seem to have for our great event OF
the year a feeling that varies from
kin1ly tolerance to spontaneous enthu-
staRu.
This is interesting In the light OF
The fact that SO many other lands
have their own independence days
With the possible exception OF
Frances, however. they attract no
attention outside OF their own coun-
try. Norway has two independence
days. May II and June 5. The French
date is July Il, which commentaries

revolution. Other independence days

dence day as theirs in sense. since

The Russians also report another
victory over the Austrians in the
Uzsok Pass of the C%arpathians. EN-
peror Francis Joseph's army in this
region Is declared 20 be in full retreat
in a mountain pass deep in snow with
Russian cavalry attacking it's flank
and rear.
By forcing this pass, the Russians
gain control of some of the most valu-
able oil fields. in Austria, and thus
shut off another source of fuel sup
plies, which the Austro-German
armies are said to 80 much need.
While forcing back the Turks and
Austrians the Russian troops are hold
ing the line of the Mazurian Lakes in
East Prussia; are fighting strenuously
to withstand the German offensive in
North Poland; are advancing towards
Cracow and have crossed Bukowina,
