LONDON, July 8-Speculation here
about the delayed German stroke has
been decidedly optimistic on q crescendo
scale, but recently some anxiety has
appeared regarding the influenza cpl
demic az the front In the peculiar
situation il is conceivable that the allies
might get the worst OF it, II the Ger
man army is suffering sufficiently to
delay the attack 1t need only lie back
and await recovery. There is no danger
from a general offensive by the allies.
Suppose, however" said an American
medical man, the influenza epidemic
jumps TO our side after the Germans
recover Being on the defensive We
would not have profitsd by their weak
ness, whereas they being on the Of
iensive might profit greatly il the allied
troops weakened OF sickness. This is
one Of the chances against which no
amount of pains or forethought could
safeguard"
MitchcPs Death Causes sorrow.
The untimely death of former Mayor
Mitchell, a brief announcement of which
appears in the Sunday newspapers
caused Wide spread and genuine sorrow
among all Americans. II wa. the gen
eral topic OF conversation today. His
turning from conspicuous position in
public life to dangerous air service was
an act that stirred the country and
stimulated the same kind OF spirit
among the youth which has manifested
itself so gallantly at ChateauTherry
and in Pioardy.
Underneath all the Fourth OF July
enthusiasm lay a growing English re.
Spect for the American soldier. Unit
recently a good deal of doubt was enter
tanned whether the Americans could be
trusted alone for some months. Indeed
such doubts were natural. We have
been very fortunate in the way thing,
have fallen for us First there wa.

putting through his own measure, which
while accomplishing the purpose of the
Chamberlain bills for a war cabinet
and a ministry Of munitions would also
signalize the defeat of his opponents.
The actual vote on the Overman bill
was an anti-climaX to the protracted
period Of consideration accorded the
bill. For the better part of three
months the Overman bill had been be-

on judiciary whence it was reported
more than month ago, or as the IN

WASHINGTON, April 30.-The sen
ate, by the convincing vote of 63 to

Overman bill yesterday, granting to the
President power to reorganize from top
to bottom the entire executive machin-

the appropriations of money necessary
to carry through the work.
This marks the complete surrender of
the opposition to what has been criti-

functions of the legislative branch OF

Loyalty the Keynote.
In forming the street pageant and IN
preparing the program for the AFTER
noon an appeal has been made TO the
loyalty of the citizens. There has peen
a strong effort to keep away from ex-
pensive attractions and TO offer the en-
tertainment of the day to the pubic
without charge. In asking the mer-
chants and manufacturers to put floats
in the parade the appeal was made
from standpoint of loyalty and civic
pride. No prizes were offered for the
one making the most pretentious snow
ing, but rather every one was asked to
do his best to make the street pageant
attractive purely from spirit OF loyal
ty to nation and to the community.
The only fee Of admittance for the

the afternoon program. this charge be-
ing made only for the purpose of help
ing to defray expenses. Admittance TO

fessional teams, the selection OF the

disowned by his father because Of bis

The play Is filled with highly drama
