LONDON ABLAZE
WITH u. s. FLAGS
British Press Wakes Enthusias-
tic over American Inde-
pendence Day.

London. July 4.--Never before has the
British press devoted so much space to
Americas Independence day as on the
present anniversary. The evening news
papers seize the occasion to print stories,
editorials and cartoons all of which carry
the note of hands across the sea-"
The history significance of the day is
freely mentioned, but far from expressing
acrmony the writers all adopt an attitude
similar to that displayed in an article in
the Westminster Gazette which says: ITO
day America becomes English and Eng
land American and we are forgetting a lit
tie of our phlegm in paying tribute to the
fact"
The Evening News publishes huge
cartoon of Uncle Sam and John Bull in
army uniforms marching arm in arm to
war. John Bull remarks to Uncle Sam
with a smile: "To-days the day you left
me, Sam, the day that made you free"
Uncle Sam beams on his companion and
replies: Yes, John, free to come back"
The News articles are headed with such
captions as "Old Glory; London makes
a flag day of July 4th.''
The Fourth in London developed into
a rainy day and the myriad of new Ameri-
can flags which were flown throughout
the city came in for a drenching.

GERMAN SPY
RUMORS REVIVED
Officials Wonder How U-Boats

Attack Fleet.

Washington, July 4.-The unsuccessful
submarine attack on the ships of the
American expeditionary forcc has revived
spy rumors in the capital and will result
in even more stringent measures. II possi-
BILE. to cloak the movements of military
forces from the enemy.
The qualification of officials over the
safe arrival of the last units of the ex-
pedition is tempered by Indignation that
the German admiralty was able to lay
its plans so well and to attack the Ameri-
can vessels In force before they reached
the zone which had been regarded as
most dangerous.
Discussion of possible spy activities
took many angles to-day. Some officials
believe the Germans must have had a
warning of the definite time agreed
upon for the crossing, but others dis
credited any such theory arguing that
an attack was to have been expected as
a natural consequence of the general
knowledge that was common property.
There were indications that the depart
ment of Justice might be asked to under
take an investigation when army and
navy reports on the incident are COM
plete.

and Stripes
A battalion of the first American ex-
pedtionary force about to leave for
training behind the battle front had It's
first official review in France and was
the center OF the celebration.
Everywhere the American flag was
flying from public buildings hotels and
residences and from automobiles, cabs
and carts, horses brides and the lapels
Of pedestrians carried them.
The crowds began to gather early at
vantage points. Rue De Varenne was
choked long before eight o'clock this
morning when the Republican Guards
band executed field reveile under Gen.
eral Pershing's windows and all routes
toward the invalides were thronged even
before Pershing's men turned out.

Americans were drawn up with detach-
ment of French territorials the buildings
overflowed with crowded humanity to the
roofs. All around the khaki-clad men
from the United States were trophies and
souvenirs of war-German cannon, air.

ances for burning, suffocating gas.
Behind them in the chapel separating the
hGourt of honor from Napoleon's tomb
we're German battle flags. trophies of the
y1arne and Alsace beside Prussian BAN
hers Of 1870.
There in the chapel before the tomb of
Napoleon, General Pershing received
american flags and banners from the
lands Of President Poincare. Almost the
Fntire history Of the struggles of the
rench against the Germans looked down
pom the scene from paintings portraying
eroc incidents in French battles from
harlemagne to Napoleon. There was
harp contrast between the khaki and
ain, wide brimmed hats of Pershings
en- and the gray dress Of D'Artagnans
umed musketeers and Napoleons
enadiers.
Uached it's highest pitch when General
Pershing escorted by President Poin-
care. Marshal Joffre and other high
French dignitaries passed along review
ing the lines Of the Americans drawn
up in square formations. Cheering broke
out anew when the American band
struck up the "Marseillaise." and again

the flags from the President.
"Vive Les Americans: Vive Pershing:
Vive Les Etats Unis." shouted over and
over by the crowd. greeted the American
standard bearers as they advanced.
The crowd that had waited three hours
to witness the ceremony that was over
in Is minutes, surged toward the exit
cheering frantically after the departing
Americans and trying to break through
Gordon Of police troops. Outside a
greater crowd that covered the entire
espanade of the invalides took up the
