Havana, Cuba, July 3.-Cubas new al
lance with the United States in the war
against Germany will be celebrated in no.
table fashion here tomorrow night when
the American Independence day will be
observed on scale which the island re-

In previous years the Fourth of July
celebration in Cuba has been restricted in
the main to members of the American
colony who have assembled usually in the
afternoon in the Tropical Garden in the
outskirts of the city, as they plan to do
also tomorrow.
This year owing to the entrance OF Gu.
ba into the war on the side of the United

triotism, which followed that action, no.
tables in Cuban official and commercial
life will join with members of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. The ceremonies will he
held in the large Campoamor Theatre.

civil and military staff. William f. Con-
zales, the United States Minister and the

Of the families of distinguished Cubons
and for the diplomatic corps.
The coat-of-arms Of the United States
and Cuba will be displayed together In
electric lights and there will be fireworks
in Central Park, nearby.

singing of patriotic songs OF both re-
publics. a series of tableaux depicting thu
work OF the Red Cross on European
battlefields, drills by Havana Boy Scouts
and the unfurling from the stage OF the
flags of the Entente allies compose the
main features Of the program.
Mrs. John Draper, president Of the
Havana branch of the American RED
Cross, is in general charge of the plans
for the festivities. The movement result
ing in the celebration has been hailed
here as bringing the people Of Cuba and
the United States more closely together
