And it was palpable soon afterward that she was in it with both feet, rendy to assist the allies in every way they had conceived. The speed with which money poured into the cof- fers of France and England from Uncle Sam’s fat purse, the sending over of destroyers and the passing of the conscription bill was amazing to the Britishers, and the man in the street shouted his appreciation. When khaki-clad troops poured into France and England in spite of the submarine peril the jolly fat English- man felt like shaking the hand of ev- erybody who had ever been in Ameri- ca, It was then that the Briton lost his phlegmatism, and he hurled his hat high in the air on the day that more than five thousand sons of the United States marched through Lon- don. Never to Be Forgotten. This again was a day never to be forgotten. There were the Stars and Stripes floating with the British Union Jack from the Westminster buildings. King George, the United States am- bassador and high officers of the Brit- ish service saluted America’s brave sons as they strode past Buckingham palace at the end of the fine, wide thor- oughfare known as the Mall. Here was the first contingent in England of another “contemptible lit- tle army” which is to do or die in the battles against barbarism and s0- called kultur. You can get an idea of how inter- ested were the Londoners concerning the march of the Americans when it is said that on the day before the event conversation mostly concerned the sons of Uncle Sam and the route of march. Evening newspapers pub- Still, the Americans went forth as it to the trenches. ‘To them perhaps the ordeal was more trying, for such fer- vor in a strange land must be appre- ciated by every soul honored. Com- pany after company passed with lips tightened and teeth set. “God bless you!” exclaimed an old woman. An American soldier bowed acknowledgment. The fixed faces seemed to realize and finally the cor- ners of mouths curved upward when a Cockney woman yelled: Give Us a Wink, Wot? “You are a bit of all right y’ are. Give us a wink wot?” One of the Americans actually did his best and the Cockney female shouted: “Bli-me, I knowed yer face wasn’t made o’ wax. An’ if e’ ain’t got the witest teeth I ever saw.” Another Guard's band drowned laughter and further comments and the men tramped on through the dou- ble archways leading to Whitehall, their shouldered rifles above the banks of men and women. Presently an au- tomobile came to a halt a dozen yards from the men and women and a beau- tiful young American girl whipped out an American flag and waved it ener- getically. Quite a number of the sol- diers saw it and only discipline for- bade their turning their heads after they had gone by. “Stick a feather in ‘is ‘at and call him Yankee Doodle,” sang a young woman who had no taste in sartorial color harmony and who thought she was giving a fair rendition of the American national anthem. ' “They don’t like that,” declared a man. “It’s the Star-Spangled Banner yer ought to sing.” Just then the American girl in a sweet voice started with “Oh, say, can you see——” and the Englishman with her continued the air without knowing the words. ished the streets where the Ameri- cans would be seen the following day, and Tommies and their officers. were very keen-to be on; bund to. add to the welcome, 1!)

A half-dozen observation balloons float- ed gracefully along a mile high over the English capital. When the American troops reached the Horse Guards purade one could see English girls on chairs peering out of windows in their efforts to get glimpses of the American soldiers, The throng, lined ten deep in some places and extending all along the route of march, naturally was a mixed one. Here were flower girls of the adipose, elderly, London type, pitching precious roses and violets in the path of the Americans. The foreign office, which faces the admiralty, was send- ing its crowd of workers to witness the sight, and those who could not leave there sought places at windows overlooking the Horse Guards parade. Not even in the other times of intense excitement had London seen such a dense and interested throng. For some time folks waited, the mu- ale of the Guards bands being heard long before the United States soldiers naetually were in front of the admi- ralty or foreign office. Finally came the silence, the bands having ceased, and then the steady tread of the men in khaki, the warmly welcomed broth- ers in arms of the British, French and Italians, Liked Americans’ Looks. “America forever!” shouted one man, believing that he was giving a fairly good imitation of the way “Amer- fea” is pronounced by Uncle Sam’s sons, ‘There were loud hurrahs every now and again, but when there are five thousand men passing four deep these hurrahs cannot be continuous. Be- sides, the Englishman and the English- woman were thinking, and they liked {the clean-cut physiognomies of the sol- ‘aiers. | Cigarettes were thrown in the path ‘of the men amid cheers. Right in front of me stood a Scotch major at salute. Hardly a man kept his hat on {his head. Either he was waving it er \he was uncovered in deference to Unit- ‘ed States, There were tears in the yeyes of some women as they scanned tearefully every face, some of which {because of the vast turnout occasion- ially looked self conscious, | “Oh, please smile; we love you all,” \gald one girl, apparently oblivious to ‘the fact that she hung on the arm of * @ prepossessing young lieutenant.

They realized they. were doing something to wanguleh any gloom, “On through the mouth of Whitehall to Trafalgar square, where stands the | statue to Lord Nelson and the Land- | seer lions, Each Hon carried its full quota of men and boys who shouted, | clapped and sang from their vantage points. | BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE That this war has wiped from Amer- ican and British hearts all trace of bitterness of former wars was shown recently when the American troops marched across the Horse Guards pa- rade,’ St. James’ park, London.

You see the Englishman is about as strong on the imitation of an American as the American is on English. | It was palpable that some of the men in the throng had worn their most “American” looking clothes. They co) led the American way of bending down their felt hats in front—in other words, it is now fashionable to the American in England, { The narrows of the Strand were banked with cheerful countenances and now and again flowers and smokes fell in the roadway.

Starting the season with only three veterans, Rundquist, tackle; Kraft,|= end, and Solaudeman, center, Coach” Zuppke of Illinois has been faced with the problem of finding a new line, a new back field and a punter and place kicker for the Illini eleven. After a week at running simple plays, Nichols, a promising sophomore, was chosen for quarterback; Charpier, a 200 pound lineman, was shifted to fullback, and Halas, Larrimer and Feigman took care of the halyes.: Leo Ktein, a star pitcher on the varsity -baseball team, Rafferty and: McGregor. have shown promise as punters, but as yet no place kicker has been devel- oped. With the second ‘week of practice came new formations and hard scrim mage. The line is a big problem and | although augmented by new material, it will be much lighter than in former |S years. Zuppke realizes the strength of Kansas, and drilled his men hard all week. Although practice at the University | of Michigan did not get. under way until the week of Sept. 24, and one game was canceled as a consequence, Coach Yost has been speeding the work ever since. Michigan is depend- ing on new +blood for its 1917 eleven. The team must ‘be built around the veterans, Sparks, Weske, Weimann and Boyd. A score of former stars and prospective candidates now are serving their country. Yost has shifted from tackle to full- back and has been trying out Hanish and Froenke in the back field. Sparks is expected to play quarter.
