"Husky . American Troops
Visible Union of the Two Great English-Speakng
Races A Real Live Welcome, Says One of Marchers

French Society of London yesterday,
said one of the most inspiring sights
he had ever seen was the march of
the American battalions in London.
They were as fine lot of men as he
had seen for a long time. They looked
to be men of that quality which would
train very fast. They would become

said Charles McCurdy, member of

United States is sending back to the
mother country men who comes to our
shores on pilgrimage as holy as
yes, more holy than-any crusade that
Land in the Middle Ages. AS saw
the historic march Of the American

to me- one and all men who are con-

upon which they have come"

America In Fight to Win
The Bishop of London, speaking at
the dedication of motor ambulances in
suburb of London, said he had been
asked why his voice was so husky. He
declared it was because he had been
cheering American troops in London.
The Bishop said only those who have
been across the Atlantic could under
stand and appreciate the Importance of
America entering the war. In the first
place, he asserted, it marked one of
the greatest epochs in the history of
the world. America always had been
a peace loving nation, but its people
were so impressed with the vital issues
OF right and wrong connected with the
conflict that they had thrown aside that
love of peace and had plunged into the
struggle without reservation.
If people wanted to know, he said.
what would be the verdict Of mankind
as to whether this war was right or
a more emphatic finding than was given
by the United States on entering the
struggle. That country, he declared,
was the greatest and richest in the
world and bite. ly would Germany rue
the day when by her ruthless warfare
OF sea murder she brought against her
self the resources of that wonderful
country.
"The war has given London many
scenes, some gay, some grave, but few
have surpassed yesterdays, when 5000
soldiers of Republican America marched
through the capital to- parade for the
sovereign ruler of the British Empire" "
says the "Times." Every workmanlike
looked these sturdy sons of the New
World, carrying their full kit; very
happy they looked as they took the
salute of their ambassador, very proud
they were as they marched past the
great white statue of Queen Victoria
and saw the King of England raise his
hand to the StarSpangled Banner that
symbolized their homeland. 1t was a
wonderful sight, that visible union of
the two great English-speaking races"

On being asked for his impression as

piled:
Everything we have seen in France

that America must get into this with

greatest number of men possible. We

done, and every day lost, every man
withheld, is merely causing unneces-

THAT is the message we are going to
take back to our people. We know
Great Britain and France have done
more than thoir share. They have done
all they can do and much more than
they ought to have had to do witho
the aid of the whole civilized world.
This has been a fight for civilization
from the beginning, and the greatest
mistake of tho whole situation has been
the failure Of America and other coun-

LONDON, May 12 - George Nicoli

met, presided this afternoon at great
meeting in Kcnsington Theatre under
the auspices of the National War Aims
Committee. held to welcome Martin +.
Ryan, president of the Brotherhood Of
Railway Carmen, and Miss Agnes Mes
tor, president Of the Women's Trade
Union League Of Chicago, who are
members of the American Labor Mis-
sion now in London. Mr.. Barnes said
that the letter of General Frederick B.
Maurice to the press charging the gov
crnment with concealing the real facts
of the military situation was an Incl
dent which would soon be forgotten.
There was far more grave question
in the situation in Ireland.
at might seem that while we are
fighting for small nationalties and
leaving Ireland alone we are rather
inconsistent" Mr. Barnes continued.
"Things, however, are not so simple
as they look when seen from distance.
ireland has two units and they are
as widely separated in ideals and the
outlook of ordinary life as it is pos
sible for two peoples to be, and the
difficult problem is to harmonic pub
lie feeling in Ireland and at the same
time uphold unity in the United King
dom.
Labor is in complete sympathy with
Irish national sentiment" the speaker
asserted, "but the problem is the most
difficult one that could face any gov
ernment. The difficulties, however, must
be solved. Ireland must have it's Par
Lament, so must Scotland and so must
Wales. At the present time Ireland is
doing little to take part in a war which
concerns her as much as any other
part Of the empire. Moreover, Ireland
is absorbing many thousands of our
soldiers, who would much better be
employed in fighting the Germans. 1t
is up to us to find a way out of the
difficulty and we must try to bring
the two parties together"
East Londoners had an opportunity
to greet the American labor delega-
tion at meeting at Mile End today.
W. A: Appleton. secretary of the Gen
eral Federation of Trade Unions of

States, he said, had strengthened it's

 THE SOUTH AND, FOODSTUFFS

The war has emphasized the need
 of the South in raising its own food
 stuffs. This vast territory has been engaged in raising cotton and corn, sending both to other parts of the country and the former to foreign nations. There was "more money in it" to raise these crops than to botg- CT with fodstuff crops, which were imported from the North and West. With the beginning of the war it was pointed out to Southern soil-till- CTS that the South should at least produce enough foodstuffs along with it's cotton and corn, to feed itself; or at least should raise sufficient hogs and livestock to provide itself with meat.
 The United States department of agriculture got behind this idea and
 pushed it vigorously. The effort, it appears, is bearing fruit. This year, for instance, it is planned to raise food crop in every Southern state that will sustain that state.
 The appeal is patriotic and econom-
 ical.
