Want Band Concerts Changed
From Afternoon to Night

WORTHWHILE, July 11:-An eff
Fort is being a here to have h
time of the band concerts scheduled
for July 10 and August 2, in the af-
ternoon from 2 to 4 o'clock, alapged
s-5s4 sssssee-S as tie ole held IN
the Fourth of July from Z to 9
O'Clock. 1t is pointed O when the
concerts were given last summer in
the afternoon there was hardly any
one ON the grounds of the Tottenville
Athletic Club at that time to hear
Them. The band members them
selves were adverse to playing there
at that time of the day
The concerts this year have been
arranged to be held on h grounds
of Public School No / in Brighton
avenue by the T~ottenville ban and
it is feared that the same thing will
happen as last summer should the
concerts be given in the afternoon
instead of at night when the major
tty of people can get out to enjoy the
music. The matter is being taken up
with Park Commissioner Anable for
the borough of Richmond for his
consideration in the interest of the

Both resolutions will be considered

WINGED that the American public feels
that Gen. Pershing has contributed no
small cart toward the successful couclu-
sion Of the war and that he Is really
one of the foremost military men Of the
present generation.
II have purposely avoided including
the name Of Gen. March In my bill be-
cause of the late hour he came into the
foremost position in the War Depart
ment on this side Of the water, and 1
really do not believe he has had an OPP
pcrtunity to justify Congressional action
in his favor. Congressional action should
only come after such military endeAvor
as TO leave no question about the recipi-

LONDON, July Island. sea and air
forces Of the British Empire and all
her allies marched to-day in the tri-
umphal victory parade to mark the
return of peace.
Several million persons watched the
gorgeous spectacle, their enthusiasm
growing as each new excitement
stirred their emotions. When the Brit
ish contingents came in sight the ap-
plause became a great roar, above
which could be heard at times the
shrill voices Of women. The patriotic
fervor had it's climax in the great
demonstration along Pail Mall and
about the pavilion before Buckingham
Palace. where King George, Queen
Mary, Premier Lloys George. the Cabi-
net Ministers, John w. Davis, the
American Ambassador, and other IL
ILlomats reviewed the parade.
Gen. Pershing, leading the American
forces, received a hearty reception. So
also did Marshal Foch and the French
and the other allied leaders and their
oontingents. The tremendous cheering
that greeted each national force was
virtually CONTINUOUS.
Biggest London Fete Since 1897.
London has not witnessed such a
celebration since Queen Victoria's dia-
mond jubilee in 1897. Buckingham
Palace was decorated on its exterior
for the first time In its history. Huge
flags of the Allies fioated from the
upper windows and a wide streainer
OF purple and gold stretched across
the facade. The royal pavilion, erected
close to the beautiful. Victoria me-
mortal monument, added color to the
striking scene.
King George, from his seat on the
scarlet dais. had a clear view through
a colonnade Of ornate white pylons
reaching for more than half a mile to
the Admiralty Arch. The troops
marched past the reviewing stand To
the music of dozens of military bands.
