London. July -LOndoncrs were
swept off their feet by the enthusiastic
iovOusness of some hundreds Of sailors
from the fleet anchored at the mouth Of
the Thames and joined 50 heartily in
the Victory Day demonstration last
night that there was dancing and sing
ing in the wet. slippery streets of the
West End within an hour Of daylight
today.
So many thousands had gathered for
o night Of mCrrymaking in tho hotels
and restaurants of the West End that
when closing time came transportation
systems were unable to take them home
As all tube trains stopped soon after
midnight there was nothing left for
thousands but to spend the night in the
streets. Great crowds gathered in the
vicinity of Piccadilly. Leicester Square
and Covpnt Garden stations. and as it
was raining gently the prospect was
dismal.
Are we down -hpartpd:' shouted a
leather unged sailor. and instantly
came thunderous response from scores
of his comrades in the crowd. which
was increased by answering shouts from
soldiers and civilians.

JOYOUS VICTORS DEFY RAIN

There were many women in the
streets. some Of them in patriotic COS
tunes they had worn in the dancing
earlier in the day. Tntroductions were
not necessary in that atmosphere and
al that time of night. Neither was
music as long as the crowd could sing
So the dance was soon in full swing.
Sailors produced mouth organs; there
after there was music aplenty.
The dancing was in the roadways. all
the way from Piccadilly to Leicester
Square. for the sidewalks were thronged
with other belated persons. who watched
the dance and chpcrcd the dancers. Sail
Ors everywhere were the leaders, al
though many domoblized soldiers joined
in the festivities. Some Americans
were in the crowd. And all the time it
raiuCd.
Toward morning the people began to
tire. Some of them sought resting
places in the dOorways of shops and of
fee buildings. while others simply sat
on the sidewalks. leaned up against the
buildings. to get such protection as the
caves afforded. and went to sleep. At

Would Call eurleson's Bluff

TO ihc Edtor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Rcfcrring to the recent action
OF the postal authorities in eliminating
Philadelphia as a link in the airplane
service. on account of lack of a suitable
landing place, your attention is called
to place, conveniently located, and,
it seems to me, of ample size.
This is Dobson's Field. at Falls OF
Srhuylkill. which is an undeveloped
tract, and extends from Queen lane to
SCOTS lane. IT is right by the Norris
town division of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad aud five miles from
City Hall by train. but little more than
half that distance by air line. 1t takes
but eighteen minutes by train. twenty.
five minutes by automobile and thirty
five minutes by trolley.
The field could be extended if greater
length is required. by closing SCOTS
lane at the end of the houses near the
mills. this giving clear run from
! Queen lane to the Richmond branch OF
the Reading Railroad, nearly three
quarters of a mile long. If it is desired
to keep that section of the lane open,
elevated runways for the planes going
and coming could bridge the lane.
If the lane is closed communication
can be opened by running CrcsSon street
through from SCOTS lane. above the
railroad. to Hunting Park avenue. As
it is. there is no need of continuing
Crawford street through the lot. as
Queen lane serves for traffic from the
Ridge TO the upper section. The site
is convenient and close to the city, and
would not only be of material benefit
to the Falls. but also show that Phila.
deIphia can offer site. without mar
/ ring the park. and call the bluff OF

themselves clinging to the leaves OF a

return in n moment with grasshopper
wings which he sewed on Peggy's
shoulders. Then he brought wings for

you can hop" he sang. and he fastened
legs on Peggy and Billy as he had

'Now hop, hop. hop. and sing, sing,

charm the grasshoppcrs you must sing
