BOTH FLAGS DISPLAYED
OLD GLORY FLOATS OVER LON
DON PARLIAMENT HOUSE.
U. S. Partnership Into World War
Celebrated by Religious Services
in St. PauI's Cathedral.

western newspaper Cnlon news oeTNice'
London, April 21.-America's part
nership in the world war was cele'
brated by a religious service in st
Paul's cathedral. The Stars and
Stripes tloated from the highest tower
of the Parliament buildings at West
minster-the first time a foreign flag
was ever displayed on that eminence
and flew above all government
buildings.
The service in the historic cathe-
dral, where the most mOmentous occa'
sions of national rejoicing and mourn
ing have been solemnized, was unpre,
cedented in being the commemoration
of an act of another nation.
One of the most picturesque of the
numerous professions to st. Paul's
was a group Of twenty-one veterans
of the American Civil War, who
marched from their humble headquar-
tiers near London bridge carrying
American flags and a banner in
scribed, american war veterans; not
for ourselves but for our country"
The clergy of St. Paul's conducted
the service, assisted by the archbishop
of Canterbury and the bishop of Lon
don. The text from which Bishop
Brent spoke was chosen from Macca-
bees, second chapter, thirteenth
verse, Having gone apart from the
elders, he resolved that they should
go forth and try the matter in fight,
by the help of God. And committing
the decision to the Lord of the world
and %exhorting them that were with
him to contend manfully, ever unto
death, for the laws, tho temple, the
city, the country and the common
wealth, he pitched his campaigning
given out to his men the watchword,
Victory is Gods"
Three of the prayers offered at the
st. Paul's services were specially pre-
pared for the occasion. The first one
was:
Thou, o God, hast put into the
hearts of the President and people of
America to join the allied nations in
a great war in defense of liberty, hui
manity and justice. We pray Thee
to grant victory to our forces"
The cathedral seats nearly 1000
persons and was filled to its further.
most recesses. All seats were occu-
pied when King George and Queen
Mary entered, followed by the mayors
and aldermen of the twenty-six
boroughs of London, wearing their
scarlet robes of office. The American
embassy and consular staffs occupied

Pilgrims, the American Society, the
American Luncheon Club and the
American Chamber of Commerce. In
the diplomatic section were officers
in the uniforms of France, Russia,
Italy, Belgium, Serbia, Montenegro,
Rumania and Japan.
