LONDON GIVES
ROYAL GREETING
TO U. S. TROOPS
Lloyd George, King and Queen
and Common People Unite in
Cheers for 5000 March,
ing Americans.

London, May 11.-Three thousand
American soldiers marched through
London today. They were men of the
new national army, of which Lon
doners had often heard, but whom
they had never before been privileged
to see in marching order.
The weather was perfect and Lon
don turned out in masses and lined up
along the broad avenues of "The
Royal Borough of Westminster" The
crowds were even greater than on the
occasion when the American eng-i-
neers marched over the same route,
several months ago.
Welcomed as Brothers.
There was a difference in the well
come which London gave >today's
marchers. When the engineers
marched, American troops were curl
osities and were cheered as something
novel. Today London has become &C
customed to American khaki and to-
days marchers were greeted as friends
and brothers.
The Americans, who were virtually
all from New York City, marched in
column of fours from Wellington bar
racks over three mile route, circling
that part of London in which are To-
Gated the government offices, the en-
bassies and the principal public build
ings.
With American preciseness, the
parade kept exactly to the timetable
which was laid out for it. The first
men filed out of the parade ground at
Wellington barracks into the famous
Rrdcage walk at exactly As.
On the war Office balcony were
Premier Lloyd George and the war
cabinet, which had suspended its sit
ting in order to view the paraders.
The highest compliment Mr.. Lloyd
George could pay them was to say ad-
miringly:
-. "They have the same swing as our
Welsh troops"
At Buckingham palace King George
and Queen Mary, the dowager Queen
Alexandra and the duke of Connaught
stood in front of the middle gate,
where they shook hands with Cen
eral Biddle. The king took the salute
from the guard of honor, which, with
the famous Grenadiers' band, was
drawn up in the street.
At the end Of the parade the king
and queen congratulated General Bid
die, who chatted with the royal party
for several minutes.
The Americans returned to Well
ington barracks for luncheon as the
guests of the British Guards regiment.
They returned to camp by an early
afternoon train.
A touch was given the parade along
the line of march by several banners
and flags. On the front steps of the
ministry of munitions girls held up
banner with red and blue letters on
white, reading:
Gee, this is bully. Say, where do we
go from here?'

Addiction Story Inspired.
Wilhelmstrasse probably is con.
sidering ways and means for riddine
Rumania of the queens influence. AS
a preparatory. step the newspaper:
apparently have been instructed to
speak of her as planning addiction. Il
seems safe to predict that she will
never abdicate unless forced to do so
as she is known to be imbued with
deep sense of responsibility to the
Rumanian people, whom she, by
every indiction, deeply and sincerel,
loves.
1t seems probable that the only rea
son Germany has not already insisted
upon the addiction of the queen j:
that King Ferdinand is a member o.
the Hohenzollern family and there
fore is still regarded with some de.
gree of consideration by the Ger,
man rulers. If both the king and the
queen are deposed, it would follow
naturally that exile also would be
imposed upon Crown Prince CT harles
who is in closest sympathy with his
mother in her bitter hatred for al
things German.
