Men of Melting Pot' "March for Freedom in
 Triun1phart Democracy
WASHINGTON

Washington, July 4.-Foreign-born citizens of the United States came from far and wide to the nations capital to- day to participate in an Independence day renewal of allegiance to the flag and to march in review before Presi- dent Wilson.
 No more colorful parade ever moved over historic Pennsylvania avenue than that which swung into line at the post office department building and passed between cheering throngs to the cap- itoi steps where the President and other government officials and the en- tire diplomatic corps were gathered for the review and the enactment of the pageant, Democracy Triumphant" 7"
 Each national group-and every warning nation as well as the OF pressed nationalities of Austro- Hun gary was represented-wore it's native costume and carried it's national flag with the stars and stripes. A regi- ment of American infantry and enSi- neers and attachments of French, British and Italian sailors lent a mar tial touch.
 The parade, which followed pageants by national groups at the various gov ernment departmental buildings, be- gan early in the evening and darkness had fallen when the last of the long line reached the east front of the cap itol There, under the brilliant illumi nation of hundreds of lights, the pa geant was enacted.
 The pageant depicted Humanity and her happy children meeting a sorrow ful group, symbolic of suffering chil- dren. Humanity summoned Justice to her aid, who in turn called upon Col umbia, representing the United States Columbia offered her entire resources money, food, armament, service and her own sons-each represented by liv- ing characters Then followed the heralds of the nations, announcing the coming of the hope of the world, 'Tri umphant Democracy"

KING GEORGE AND THOUSANDS WITNESS BASEBALL CAME Team From American Navy Defeats Army in Hard

 London

London, July liking George saw the American army defeated in a hard fought baseball game today. The oppo- nent of the army team was one picked from the American navy which won by score of to l. Every one of the nine innings had it's thrills for the mote than 1900 spectators.
 Few sporting events since the wal began have aroused so much interest and discussion in London as todays game Certainly not since the exciting da,., of the first weeks of the war has Lon don seen srch a wave of enthusiasm as today. Independence Day was CT everybody's lips; people talked about il in the street cars, busses and subways The newspapers were full of it. news from the fighting fronts taking second place All talk was of the Americans and thoii baseball game.
 For several days the newspapers had been explaining baseball, and the peo- pie of London have been pouring over the mysteries of the American nationa game. instinctively trying to find in il some parallel to their own cricket. Many persons went to the game armed witt clippings and drawings of a diamond showing the positions of the players.
 Although American khaki and navy blue have long been common sights or the streets of London, groups of soldiert and sailors on their way to the game were heartily cheered. Outside the en trance to the Chelsea football grounds where the game was played, the peop.t lined the streets for several blocks anc crowded the windows in their homes, as during a worlds series in America, ts watch the crowds and cheer the arriving notables.

Four Minute Message
 From The President

come the victim of a ruthless ambition that is determined to destroy what 1t cannot master.
 Against it's threat the liberty-lov- ing people of the world have risen and allied themselves. No fear has de- tered them, and no bribe of material well being has held them back. They have made sacrifices such as the world has never known before, and their ae- sistance in the face of death and sui fering has proved that the aim which animates the German effort can never hope to rule the spirit of mankind Against the horror of military con quest against the emptiness of living in mere bodily contentment, against the desolation of becoming part of q state that knows neither truth nor honor the world has so revolted that even people long dominated and sup pressed by force have now begun to stir and arm themselves.
 Centuries of subjugation have net destroyed the racial aspirations of .he many distinct copies of eastern Eu- rope, nor have they accepted the sor- did ideals of their political and mill tary masters. They have survived the slow prosecutions of peace as well as the agonies of war and now demand recognition for their just claims to autonomy and self f-government Rep- resentatives of these races are with you today. voicing their loyalty to our ideals and offering their services i'll the common cause. I ask you, fellow citizens, to unite with them in making this our Independence day the first that shall be conSecrated to declara- = tion of independence for all the peoples of the world WOODROW WILSON
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-07-05

You are met, my fellow citizens to comm memorate the signing of that Dee laration of Independence which marked the awakening of a new spirit in the lives of nations. Since the birth of our republic. we have seen this spirit grow. We have heard the demand and watched the struggle for self-govern- ment spread and triumph among many peoples. We have come to regard the right to political liberty as the comm on right of humankind. Year after year, within the security of our borders, V e have continued to rejoice in the peace full increase of, freedom and democ racy throughout the world. And yet now, suddenly. we are confronted with menace which endangers everythin : that we have won and everything that the world has won.
 In all it's old insolence, with all it's ancient cruelty and injustice, military autocracy has again armed itself against the pacific hopes of men. Hav- ing suppressed government among it's own people by an organization maintained in part by falsehood and treachery, 1t has set out to impose its will upon it's neighbors and upon us One by one, it has compelled every civ ilized nation in the world either to forego its aspirations or to declare war in their defense. We find ourselves fighting again for our national exist ence. We are face to face with the necessity of asserting anew the funda- mental right of free men to make their own laws and choose their own ale glance, or else permit humanity to be-

MRS. WILSON SENDS PATRIOTIC MESSAGE
 TO NATIONS WOMEN

Washington, July 4-This Independence Day message was given today to the women of America by Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President
 ''The greeting which I am glad to send to the women of our beloved country who are playing so large and so noble part in this day of our supreme test can have bIt single thought for it's theme-the thought that is in all our hearts.
 That thought is that we are sustain ing, not a government, but the very prin- ciple of our nations life. The morale of the war is in the thoughts and aspira- tions and hopes of the women as well as of the men.
 They stand at the very center of every issue involved, as the men do, and in that sense the war is theirs It is a war for what is humane and right They can put all that is best of them into the struggle And they are doing so,

Fl NATIONS WHICH SACRIFICE FOR IDEAL

Daniels Says German Gun ming and Resources Are
 Nothing Against Fight for Freedom

New York, July 1.-The ideals of freedom and justice, enforced by the willingness to sacrifice of T nations krupp, all the aircraft of Zeppelin all the strategy of Hindenburg, and more invincible than all the undersea assassins of Won Tirpitz, Secretary Daniels declared here tonight in an In- dependence day address at the city college stadium.
 It was. the naval secretary's second speech of the day in connection with New York's celebration of the Fourth of July. In the morning at Tammany hall he told great audience what American shipbuilders are doing ln building merchant craft and memo war to meet Germany's challenge.
 'On this anniversary" said MT. Dan iels tonight, while owing most for In- dependence to the commanding figure Of George Washington, we turn to Jeff ferson, second only to the illustrious. successful military chieftain of the revolution, for the inspiration that nerved men then as now@to place love or free government above love of life.'
 Jefferson, the secretary said under stood the necessity of national unity dur ing wars; believed that the energy and enterprise of the American people il. the pursuits of peace would be equally eminent tn those of war, and that the natural rights of nations are not stakeo on a single battle. What Jefferson be- lieyed in those days, MT. Daniels said. Is no less a belief today, and it has helped to carry this nation and free countries everywhere through the darH hours of this war.
 We shall pay a heavy toll before victory comes" continued Mr. Daniels, but all is not staked on single battle, and neither reverses on land nor sink ings of merchant vessels Ca species of piracy on a par with that which lief ferson stamped out when he was Pres- dent) will avail, because the Americans and their hrave associates with 'immor- tai hate 0: 'despicable deeds have the 'unconGuerable will and courage never to submit or yield
 Declaring that there was mo crime of secret diplomacy, no betrayal of fhe hospitality of other nations, no sabot- age, no plotting, no treason, no dis honoring of women, no murder of inno- cents,'' of which Prussianisni has not been guilty in this war, the naval sec retary said there remains now no con cluSlOn put tHat the 'JeFIndfl nallOu Has lost it's soul. Reason and justice, he said. are lnocked and there remains now no forum but the battlefield and no argument but the argument of su- perior forces.
 ''Our boys hasten to this arena with right and backed by the unlimited re- source of this great nation" MT. ban iels said. Tt may take weeks, it may take months, it may take years. But America has never taken up arms ex- cept for liberty and has never sheathed it's sword except in victory, and the boys will come Aback home-and most of them will come back -conquerors in a war which will give the same in- dependence to all nations that the Fourth of July, 1-76 insured for America"
