U. s. SAILORS HELD
 UP BY MEX|CANS'
Incident Like That Which Led to Oc- cupation of Vera Washing ton Sends Urgent Representations
 to Carranza and to Tampico.

Washington, July 19.--The most serious of the recently growing lists of attacks on Americans in Mexico came to light to day.
 A boat load of American sailors from the U. S. s. Cheyenne was held up in the Temesi river on July 6, with in 9 miles of the city of Tampico, and the sailors were robbed. The Ameri- can flag was flying from the boat. Closely resembling the attacks on American sailors which led to the oc- cupation of Vera Cruz in 1914, the State Department did not hesitate to regard it as most grave affair and immediately dispatched urgent repre- sentations to the Carranza govern ment and the authorities at Tampico.
 Altho the sailors were fishing, they were on official duty bringing in food for their ship, and the American flag flying from the boat denoted that it was on official business.
 A preliminary report of the attack reaching the Navy Department on July 2, did not go to the State Depart ment until today, when it promptly was given out. No explanation was given out for the delay. Today Secre- tary Daniels asked for a fuller report. The incident is regarded as serious and charged with possibilities because the Carranza forces are in control of the Tampico district, and because it comes as the climax to a series of at tacks on Americans, all of which have been made the subject of increasing urgent representations to the Car ranza government.
 Secret Orders to Border Troops. Since President Wilson returned from the peace conference he has giv- en much attention to the Mexican situ- ation. Various reports have been cir culating in sources in touch with Mex leo affairs that the American govern ment's policy had changed, but there has been no official announcement.
 It is known that the American troops along the border have new set of orders as shown by the manner in which they crossed into Juarez and cleaned up the fighting there when il menaced Fl Paso. The extent to which the military establishment has been prepared to meet situation in Mexico has not fully been disclosed. i It was an incident at Tampico in 1914 which brought on the occupation of Vera Cruz. A boat from one of Admiral Mayo's ships was detained, a paymaster was arrested and jailed and at other times messengers from the ships were menaced ashore. Gen eral Huerta refused to apologize and salute the American flag and the oc- cupation of Vera Cruz followed. Officials here see in the incident of July 6 the makings of more serious situation.

l. W. ". PLANNED
 REVOLUTION HERE
Labor Leader Says Radicals Schemed to Overthrow Recommendations ment Industry Most Fruitful
 Field in America.

New York, July 17.-James P. Hol- land, president of the New York Fed eration of Labor, testifying today be- fore the joint legislative committee in- vestigating radical and seditious ac- tivities in this state, declared that the I. W. W. had organized many thou sands of workers turnout the country on a platform which included in it's blanks one calling for the destruction of the American government. The most powerful of the radical organiza- tions, Mir Holland said, was the Amal- gamated Garment Workers of Amer ica, with membership which he es- timated at 10000. As an evidence of wide sweeping plans of the I. W. w., letters were read into the testimony before Mir Holland took the stand, in which 1. w W. leaders urged Euro pean and South American workers to join in a scheme for an international revolutionary industrial union." One Ol tHS InOSJ dHDlJlOuS pfOJSCLS WdS the organization of the marine work CTS of the two Americas and the mari time European countries into "one big union."
 The most fruitful field found by the radicals in this country, according to Mir. Holland, has been the garment in- dustry, the second greatest industry in the United States. Asked what were the principles of the organiza- tion formed by the I. W. w. among the garment workers, Mir. Holland replied:
 "They don't believe in government. They preach that behind the closed doors now, and some of them preach it out of doors"
 The witness was then asked if it ever had been brought to his atten- tion that the Amalgamated Garment Workers favored a soviet form of government.
 "It has not only been brought to my attention, but it has been rammed down my throat" replied Mir Holland. But the majority of the workingmen and workingwomen are Americans first and not Soviets, as some would have us believe"

AMERICANS LEAD
 VICTORY PARADE
London Wild in Demonstration to Gel ebrate Winning of World War Special Honors to General
 Pershing.

London, July 19.--band, sea and air forces of the British Empire and her Allies were represented today in the triumphal Victory parade to mark the return of peace.
 Several million persons watched the gorgeous spectacle, their enthusiasm growing as the various sections moved by them. When the British contin- gents came in sight the applause be- came great roar, above which could be heard at times the shrill voice of women. The patriotic fervor had it's climax in the great demonstration along Pail Mall, and about the pavil- ion before Buckingham Palace, where King George, Queen Mary, Premier Lloyd George, the cabinet ministers, the American Ambassador, John w. Davis. and other diplomats reviewed the parade.
 General Pershing, leading the Amer jean forces, was given a hearty recep- tion.
 Three thousand men of composite United States regiment march not at all ike machines. There is nothing mechanical about them. They seem rather to flow like an evenly running river, swift and deep and resistless-
 In full fighting kit, with trench hell mets, all dull gray green, they look like real fighting men. One does not need to see the insignia of the famous First and Second Divisions to know them for veterans. Yet, they are young, and tall and slender, and there seemed a touch of Puritan in their solemnity and lack of gay color.
 London has not witnessed such a celebration since the late Queen Vic toria's diamond jubilee, in 1897. Buck ingham Palace was decorated on it's exterior for the first time in history. Huge flags of the Allies fioated from the upper windows and a wide stream CT of purple and gold stretched across the facade. The royal pavilion, erect cd close to the beautiful Vistoria me morial monument, added color to the striking scene.
 The Americans led the procession 1t was 12:30 o'clock when they came marching with springy step and smart precision that would have gladdened the heart of West Point command- ant As the Americans approached the stand, King George and all others including Queen Mary. the aged queen mother, Alexandra. and the Princess Mary, rose. The king, in the uniform of a field marshal, kept his hand to his visor in rigid salute until General Pershing, sitting on his horse like 2 cavalryman, had passed. The Ameri. can troops won compliments on theii formation. The bayonets of many were decorated with flowers and smal Union Jacks.
 General Pershing dismounted hun dred yards beyond the kings stans and returned to it, where he wal greeted by all. He stood with King George during the remainder of tn, review.
 Marshal Foch, Vice Admiral Sil David Beatty, Field Marshal Sin Douglas Haig and other commanders joined the reviewing party as soon as their contingents had passed. Vice Ad. miral Beatty and Field Marshal Haie were given tremendous cheers.

Chicago, July t7-The girls don't need to wear buffalo robes when they go down to the Chicago beaches to swim. Chief of Police Garrity said so today. The one-piece bathing suit has the chiefs sanction. Furthermore, it need not be accompanied by stock ings.
 "The women as we'll as men need free action of their limbs while swim ing,' Chief Garrity said. "They go down to the lake to get wet, don't they? And the beaches were made for swimming, weren't they, for girls as well as men? We'll, then, why should int giri wear one-piece suit"

CENTENARY MOVEMENT
WHAT It MEANS

with budget that calls for the ex-
penditure of $80,0o0,000 for home
and foreign church development and
mission work and SIS 900. 900 for war
reconstruction work in Europe, the
Methodist Episcopal Centenary move
ment is now in full swing. nearing
the end. Innumerabl. churches in the
south have far over-subscribed their
quotas.
The Centenary movement Is based
upon the most thorough and complete
religious census ever made in the
world.
Some idea Of the details with which
the estimates have been made for the
expenditures, both in this country and
abroad, can be gained when 1t is
known that the $4o.000.00o to be
spent in this country Is divided be-
tween Ais items of equipment and
1904 items of maintenance.
- In addition. ia the present per-
sonnet of the Methodist church in the
United States, the following will be
added under the Centenary program !:

insure constant manufacturing. There
are scores OF concerns in the United
States equipped at the present time
to turn out airplanea, and a common
surate purchasing program mustt be
approved by congress to encourage
the manufacture OF the planes
Stan officers do not have great faith
in land fortifications as a protection
against hostile aircraft. They believe
that the centeTs OF population along
the sea coasts should be equipped
with anti aircraft batteries and that
mobile artillery should always be in
readiness to attempt to repel an at
tack. but as General Mencher pointed
out:
THE fellows who got up the earl
lest and had the planes were the ones
who were able to penetrate the
back when they were met by an equal
il not a superior number Of the
enemy's planeA."
The chances of hostile air raid on
the. American coast. in view of the
tremendous strides that are being in
the perfection of airplanes, are not
listed as remote possibilities by army
men. They believe. however, that it
will be quite some time before an air
or seaplane can be built which Will
