with the greatest difficulty, as hundreds
tried to rush out to grasp the hands of
the boys.
Down the Mall to the palace, where
the King took the salute, the bows
marched with swing and snap that
pleased the eye of the American mill
tary critics, who we're the guests of
General Sir Francis Lloyd. The King,
accompanied ny Queen Alexandra, the
Duke of Connaught, the Prince and
Princess Arthur Connaught and Major
General Biddle, commanding the Amer
ican forces in England, took his posi-
ton IN front OF the palace and the bat
talons presented arms while the King
inspected them.
Then down Grosvenor Gardens the
procession moved. In front of the
American Embassy stood DR.. Waiter
Hines Page, Admiral Sims, Commander
Babcock and Lieutenant Colonel Slo-
cum.
AT Wellington Barracks refreshments
were served to the soldiers, who re-
turned to camp late in the afternoon.
Vi those who marcheds to-day only the
commanding officer and the lieutenant
colonel belonged to the regulars. The
rest were draft men. with officers. who
were graduated from last summers
training camps.
Nothing Too Good, Says "Star"
Says "The Evening Starr: London
is a shy old lady, but to-day she is
throwing, her bonnet into the air. She
IS not staring at the American boys
like a stepmother She is taking them
into her, arms like a mother. Their
own mothers will be comforted when
they learn how London hugs these gal
liant boys.
Nothing is too good for them. We
must all get busy, so that every Ameri-
can boy in every camp will feel that
THIS IS his second home and that every
British mother is his mother and every
British girl is his sister,
London is good at mothering when
sne mas chance. And it is mothering
that these brave boys want more than
anything else"
To put it cautiously, whole lot of
ters in London. Through "The Star"
doesn't mention it. this parade has
done whole lot for "mother's" mo-
rale, London has learned something
OF the quality of her adopted sons and
she has gained fresh courage.
Secretary Bakers announcement that
more than 100000 American soldiers
are IN France means a whole lot more
to the average man when he measures
that force in regiments such as he
saw to-day.
America is the hope of the alli-
ance. Britain and France are carrying
the greatest burden now, but it will
soon fail on America. London has
needed just such demonstration as
this to convince her of the quality of
her American ally.

Heavy Casualties Reported
Near Apremont and
North of Parroy
Shells Made of Glass
10 Spread Poison Gas
Major Thaw Again Cited
for Bravery After Down
ing Enemy Airplane

BERLIN, via London, May H.
Heavy losses were inflicted on the
American troops southwest of Apre-
mont and north of Parroy by a
strong mine bombardment, accord
ing to the official communication
from General Headquarters today.
The German statement regarding
Apremont probably refers to the sue
ccssful raid by she French in Apremont
Forest at dawn Friday, when, according
to dispatch from spondent with
the American army, printed yesterday
American batteries assisted the French
in two hours bombardment, and at
the same time were showered with gas
shells by the Germans.
Apremont is five miles southeast Of
st. Mihiel, in the Woevrc while Parroy
is on the Rhine Marne canal, close to
the Franco-German border. The two
towns are about forty-five miles apart,
so the German communica tion refers to
two different actions.
1t was near Parroy that American
troops first entered the front line
trenches, having been put in with
French troops there for training pur-
poses,

Hatred of Germany
Gro1uing IL, Ukraine;
Troops Are Disarn1ed

STOCKHOLM, May H. Ukrainian
newspapers which are reaching Stock
holm contain articles showing how the
German methods in Ukrsini are cvok-
ing opposition and hatred in all quar-
ters. 1t is difficult to discover evidence
Of any pro-German party whatever.
Even the new government, which is
chiefly composed of the owners of large
estates, has among its members some
prominent White Russians, who are
known to be strongly opposed to Ger
man policies and who may be assumed
to have accepted Office for the present
for purely material reasons.
One of the newspaper articles de-
scribes the disarming of what is known
as the Ukrainian Blue Guard, in which
a strong anti-German spirit has be-
come manifest. The Minister Of War
told the Rada on the following day
that the disarming of portion of
the troops was with the governments
consent. but that the government was
compelled 70 protest against the brutal
methods marking the arrest Of mem
bers of the Chamber.
Another article reports that the 1st
Division of the Ukrainian army, which
had been stationed at Kovel. had been
disarmed by the Germans because Of
anti German feeling among the troops.
This development is Of particular in
terest, in view Of the fact that the
LIST Division was composed largely of
former prisoners of war, who, after
having been thoroughly dosed with
propaganda in German and Austrian
prison camps, had been released after
peace had been made, with the Ukraine
so that they might return home and
form the nucleus Of new Ukrainian

Holland Held Out
Against Ultinatur,1;
Berlin Gaue Way

AMSTERDAM, Friday, May 10.-Re-
plying to a question in the Second
Chamber to-day regarding the settle
ment between Holland and Germany
the Dutch Foreign Minister, Jonkheer
Loudon, said:
"The governments reasons for con-
sider1ng the relations which had arisen
with Germany as strained lay in the
emphasis with which the German gov
ernment made known what it demand
ed from the Dutch government, some
parts of which demands were immc-
diately seen to be unacceptable.
Through her minister here Germany
gave both the Dutch Premier and the
Minister OF Foreign Affairs to under
stand that it was matter which had
not been decided without thorough
consideration and must be accepted in
its entirety as an irreducible minimum
"The Dutch Minister in Berlin, in
particular, was clearly told that if the
German demands were not granted the
consequences would be most serious for
Holland.
"The question Of the transit of sand
and gravel had been regulated in q
manner which encountered no funda-
mental objections on the part Of the
Dutch government. On the other hand,
the character of the goods to be trans
ported over the Limburg railway was in
direct conflict with the actual wording
Of the Dutch proclamation of neutral
ity. The government decided, therefore,
unhesitatingly to oppose this. 1t was
only when the German government had
accepted transport Of provisions for the
army as the fourth exception, and had
agreed to the description of the term
arms IN accordance with the Dutch
conception, that the Dutch government
could drop Its objections"

Italians Storm
Monte Corno
Seize Men and Guns in
Sudden Offensive !;
y Bombardment at
Amiens Grows

Sharply attacking yesterday the
French gained ground on two
fronts. East Of Locre, between
Mount KENNEL and Mount Rouge
in the Ypres sector, they a.
vanced their lines and captured
prisoners.
East of Montdidier, on the south
side Of the Somme salient. they
forced the Germans back near
Mareuil Wood, northwest OF Or
viflers-Scrreln Here they capt.
ured two score prisoners and q
few machine guns and broke up
desperate German efforts to re-
gain the lost ground.
The Germans, after violent artillery
preparation, flung strong forces
into an attack on the French lines
near Mailly-Raineval, at the tin
of the Sommc salient. At first
they gained some ground, but a
prompt French counter attack
drove them back to their original
positions, with the loss of 100 pris-
oners and fifteen machine guns.
British raiders west of Merville
brought in captives Friday night.
But for the most part the in
fantry was idle. Field Marshal
Haig reported breaking up Ger
man raids east Of Ypres and near
Melville Vitasse, in the Amiens
sector.
American artillery east of Mont
didier hammered the German lines
and started fires in the villages Of
Cantigny and Mesnil-St. Georges.
Berlin speaks of heavy losses in
f1icted on the Americans near
Apremont and Panoy on Friday.
Keeping up the battering fire of the
last few days before Amiens, the
bombardment yesterday grew
spirited along the Avre River,
around Grivesnes, where tbs
French made their gains On
Thursday, and near Mailly-Raine-
val, just northwest of Montdidier.
French night attacks on Hangard
failed, Berlin reports. In Fridays
fighting the Germans declare that
the Australian attacks at Aveluy
Wood we're fruitless and entailed
heavy losses.
Italian troops on Thursday launched
an attack in the mountain region
On the north, storming Monte
Corno and capturing 100 prison
ers and two cannon and several
machine guns. This first Italian
offensive movement in several
months may presage general oper-
ations on the southern front to
draw more German reserves from
the West and anticipate the an
nounced Austrian offensive in the
southwest.

Maj. Rasmussen, Idol
OF His Men, Went to
His Death LAUGHING


WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Thursday. May s.-Maior
Andrew Rasmussen, of Portland, Ore,
who was killed few days ago while
leading reconnoitring party on the
American front in Picardy, was the
idol of his men because of his utter
fearlessness. He passed unwounded
through revolutions in Central Amer
lea and more severe fighting with Gen.
eral Carranza's forces in Mexico, and
finally through two years OF service
as major with the Canadian army.

October TO assist in training Ameri-
cans in bayonet fighting, and later was
sent to an American army school as
instructor. In January he was trans
ferred to the American army, with a
majors commission.
Major Rasmussen was immediately
given command of a battalion and
went into action on the front north
west of Toul where he suffered slight

On the night that his battalion was
moved from its billets into the line on
the Picardy front Major Rasmussen
joked with several correspondents
while the German shells were bursting
in the village, few kilometres in the
rear. He told them they hight have his
uniform, helmet and other things in
case he was killed. Then he rode.

LONDON, May 11.-A regiment
of Americans-men of the National
Army--took London by storm to-
day. This supposedly cold, phleg-
matte city Of naughty, Unconditional,
monocled inhabitants belied it's
reputation and became another flag
waving, band playing, cheering New
York. And the American troops
themselves were from New York
City.
The enormous crowd which
watched the parade of clean cut,
we'll trained American soldiers
acted as if it had been camouhag-
ing it's emotions for many. months
and at last had determined to throw
off it's mask.
The procession showed Londoners
no different from New Workers.
Every one was better for the show
of emotion and enthusiasm. Not
since last summer, when the boys
who marched to-day were only just
beginning their training, has Lon
don seen American soldiers march
ing through her streets. In fact,
London has seen mighty few parades
during this war, and to-day's pro-
cession consequently was of his
toric Importance.
Thousands Gather for Parade
Hardly any one knew of the
parade until the announcement was
made in the morning papers, but
though the notice was short, the
people prepared quickly and tre-
mendous crowds began to gather
hours before the time at which the
procession was scheduled to start.
From government and from pri-
vate buildings the flags of the two
countries flew side by side. Thou
sands along the line of march car
ried the Stars and Stripes in one
hand and the Union Jack in the
other. Every point of vantage was
black with onlookers.
| saw the first regiment of Ameri-
can engineers when they paraded
the London streets nearly a year
ago and | sympathized with them
as they passed under the scrutiniz-
ing gaze of the city. They were not
soldiers, but merely railway men
wearing uniforms, who later were
to play gallant part in the Somme
tragedy.
Americans Sure of Themselves
But to-day the American boys
needed 10 sympathy. They marched
as If they were sure of themselves,
proud Of themselves, unabashed
and unafraid, at home whatever the
surroundings, whether in front of
the Kings palace or out on the
plains Of Flanders or in the hills of
the Champagne.
Americans long from home felt
proud of their country, and Britons
showed respect, admiration and
warm blooded enthusiasm for the
soldiers of her strongest ally.
From the time the crash of the
band set the line in motion until the
parade ended the soldiers moved
through wildly cheering lines. First
came an American band, then an
American battalion, then the band
of the Scots Guards, second Amer
lean battalion, then the Irish and
Grenadier Guard bands, and finally
a third battalion.
