One London Paper Calls Them "Infernal'
iy Adequate Lot Of Fighters"

London, May l3.--The American lin
vasion of London" is featured by th'
morning newspapers to-day as II was oI
Sunday. The most critical military ex
perts are loud in their praise of the fine
bearing Of the American troops who pa
raded through the British capital Satur
day. One writer sums up the general
opinion in this way:
"They have the cut Of an internally ade'
quate lot of fighters. | would rather
lead them than tackle them"
Newspaper articles are illustrated with
photographs Of different stages of the
march, an important place being given to
the scene outside Buckingham palace
with King George standing beside Col.
Whitman and saluting the American flag.
"on every judge of fighting manhood, y
the Daily Telegraph says, "the American
troops made the same impression. In
physique and morale they are equal to
the finest troops raised by any country
at the time when the standard of the
European manpower stood at its high
est point.
The carrying through Of the American
effort, the Morning Post thinks, means
the turning of the scale against the enc
my. Germany il SAYS, never made
more profound or more fatal miscalcula-
tion than when she held the power of
America to be cheap.
"The kaiser and his advisers" says the
Times, have brought together the Eng.
disappearing peoples more closely and
more rapidly than the fondest dreamers
after more intimate relations between
them had dared to hope. That is an inn
mense event in the history of the old
world and the new. IL is the greatest
that has happened, except the war itself,
since the French revolution.
"The lesson for England and America
is plain and there is abundant proof that
both understand it, We have to stick ii
out and the Americans have to hurry up
and they are hurrying up splendidly.
Not one peace note has been heard
in Congress. The only criticisms
against the government consist
Of occasional complaints that it does not
get on fast enough with the war. That

BY Ottawa Report That the
American Army Will
Not Be Used
UNTIL BUILT UP
TO FULL STRENGTH
British Ambassador Has
Not Been So In
structed

Washington, d. c., May l3.-Lor,
Reading, the British ambassador, in 1
statement here declared that the an
nouncement coming by way of ottaws
that the American army would not b.
fully utilized on the western front unit
developed TO its full strength, was di
rectly opposite to information he had
received from the British war cabinet
and that he was in the dark as TO its
meaning.
The ambassadors statement added 10
the puzzle in which American officers
found themselves to-day on reading the
announcement from Ottawa. The conf
dental information reaching here recent
~ indicated that such plan as outlined
from Ottawa was under discussion.
The ambassador authorized the follow
ing statement;
"The statement attributed TO the Brit
ish war cabinet TO the effect that the
allies are so confident that, having been
given the choice of a small immediate
American army for defense or waiting
till they are reinforced by complete,
powerful, self-supporting American army
they have chosen the latter, is diametri-
cally opposed to all information received
by me from the British war cabinet and
to all the requests which ! have been
asked by them to make TO the United
States administration.
Il am quite in the dark as to the
origin of the statement At present all
can say is that ] am convinced that the
document has not been issued with the
knowledge of the prime minister or the
British war cabinet"

STOCKS BUOYANT
ON NEWS 4DVICES
Boom Assumed Broader Dimensions on
the Reopening of Stock Ex-
change To-day.

New York, May l3.-The boom in
stocks which began last week went for.
ward at to-day's opening of the ex-
change, the movement assuming even
broader dimension.
There were no definite developments to
account for the further outburst of en-
thusiasm, but in general foreign and do
nestle advices over the week end re-
ceived favorable interpretations.
Virtually all the active industrials, es-
pecially the so-called war shares, record
ed highest prices of the year and in a
few cases all previous maximums were
exceeded. The broad character of the
trading suggested further increase of
public interest, as represented by the
activity of commission houses, which re-
ported an accumulation of buying orders
over Sunday.
Leadership was again assumed by L. S.
Steel, that stock advancing ga points
to Ill u in the first half hour. Related
industrials and equipments gained to
3h points with shippings, sugars and
tobaccos, Sumatra again featuring the
latter group. Rails were relatively back
ward with coppers, motors and oils.
Sales of the first hour were estimated
at 10000 shares.
