Arrives in British Waters
Ready For Business.

Queenstown. May l6.-A squad
ron of American torpedo boat de-
stroyers has safely crossed the At
lantic and is patrolling the seas in
war service.
The American navys actual entry
into the war zone has already been
productive of brush between de-
stroyer and a German underwater
boat, according to an announcement
by the British admiralty, but the re-
suit of it has not been made public.
The destroyer squadron arrived il
Queenstown after an uneventful voy-
age across the Atlantic, but almost
Immediately after a formal exchange
of greetings with the British naval
officials put to set again for the hard
work that is before it.
Americans Cheer6d.
A crowd of several hundred per.
sons, some of them carrying tiny
American flags, lined the water front
and cheered the destroyers from the
moment they first sighted the flotilfa
until it reached the docks. The
crowd cheered again when a few mo-
ments later the American senior Of
fcer came ashore to greet the British
senior officer and Wesley Frost. the
American consul, who had come
down to the dock to welcome the
flotilla. Everything was done in a.
simple, business-like manner. There
was an entire absence of formality.
The commander of the British
fotilla was waiting on board his ship
and sent wireless greetings to the
American units as soon as they hove
in sight, steaming in a long line into
the harbor.
Ready to Fight.
After the exchange of shore greet
iugs and the British commander had
congratulated the American officers
on their safe voyage, he asked:
When will you be ready for busi-
ness?"
1--WE can start at once" the Amer
lean commander replied promptly.
This response, so Enthusiastically
American. surprised the British COM
mander, who said he had not expect
ed the Americans would be ready to
begin work on this side so soon after
their long voyage. When he had re-
covered frem his surprise, however,
he made short tour of the destroy
ers and admitted that the American
tars looked prepared.

CHARLEsTONIANs PARADE.
Governor Manning Extends Hearty
Welcome to Gen. Wood.

Charleston, May 19.-Ten thou
sand men, women and children,
every one carrying the American flag
and the majority wearing the Stars
and Stripes as personal adornment,
marched through the streets of the
city yesterday afternoon, as q
demonstration of their patriotism,
and as fitting welcome to the high
est ranking line officer of the United
States army, Major Gen. Leonard
Wood, who, as commanding general
of the newly created Southeastern
department, has come to Charleston
to direct from here the organization
of the army which this country Will
throw into the war against Germany.
Gen. Wood was cheered continu-
ously along the line of march, and he
was given nothing short of an ova-
ton when he arose on the platform
on the Citadel green to address the
multitude which stood below. The
special feature of the days cere-
monies in honor of the distinguished
soldier was a formal welcome dinner
at the Charleston Hotel, given him
by the Chamber of Commerce.
AS token of welcome, and tri-
butte of regard by the entire people
of Charleston, handsome American
flag was presented to Gen. Wood at
the exercises on the green, which cul-
minated the parade. The speech or
presentation was made by Mr.. J. 2.
Kennedy Bryan. Gen. Wood, in the
course of his acceptance, after ex-
pressing his deep appreciation of the
spirit betokened by the flag, said:
Il hope that this flag will be
among the first to cross the Atlantic,
and to float in France
This declaration was heartily ap-
plauded by both men and women.
Governor Richard l. Manning well
coined Gen. Wood on behalf of the
State of South Carolina. He express
ed the honor that the State feels at
being the military home of the dis
soldier-statesman, and as
sured Gen Wood of the fullest sup
port of Carolinians in all measures
that are taken to make this countrys
part in the war a glorious one.
