ILondon, July 19.--Land, sea and sir forces of the Blritislh empire and dher allies were re: resented today ih the triumphal victory parade to mark 4 he return of peace. Several mil!lion persons watched the gorgeous spectacle, their en thusiasm growing as the various sec tio rs ioved by them. When the Brit. ish contingent; came in sight the ap plause became a great roar, above 'which couldt be heard at times the shrill voices of women. The patriotic fervor had its climax in the great demontration along 7all Mall and about tihe iaviot: before Bucking ham Ialace, where King. George, Queen Mary, Premier Lloyd George, the cabinet ministers, ,the American ambassador, John W. Davis, and other diplomats reviewed the parade. Gen. Pershing, leading the Ameri "can forces, was given a hearty re Ceition. So also 'were Marshal Foch and the French and the other .'lied -leaders and their contingents. The tremendous cheering that greeted each national force was virtually cortianour. t.ndon has not witnessed such a _celebration srice the late Queen Vic 'toria's diamond jubilee in 1897. Eu l-inghamu pa lace was decorated on Its exicrior for the first time in its History. Huge flags of tho allies floated from the upper rwindows and a wide streamer of purple and gold stretched across the facade. The royal pavilion, erected close to the @beautiful Victoria memorial monu anent, added color to the striking scene. King George, from his seat on the scarlet dais, had a clear view through a molonnado of ornate white pylons 'reaching for more than half a mile Ito the admiralty arch. The troops marched past the reviewing stand to the music of dozens of military bands. The Amerloans led the procession. It was 12:."0 o'clock when they came marching with springy step. and smart precision, that would have glad dened the heart of a West Point commandant. As the Americans ap proached the stand, King George and all others, including Queen Mary, and aged Queen-Mother Alexandra and Princess Mary, arose. The king, in We hay Martha bered a ingimnti churche P 100 bal year. selling I W.BJI Laure She uniform of a field marshal, kept his hand to his visor in rigid salute until Gen. Pershing sitting - on his horse like a cavalryman, had passed. The American troops won compli ients on their formation. The bayo iets of many were decorated with flowers and small Union .Jacks. Gen. Pershing dismounted a hun dred yards beyond the king's stand and returned to It. where he was greeted by all. lie stood with King George during the remainder of the review. Marshal hooch, Vice Admiral Sir l David Beatty, Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and other commanders Joined the reviewing party, as soon as their contingents had passed. Vice Admiral Beatty and Field Marshal Ilaig were given tremendous cheers. The massed coiors of the various regiments won the admiration of the crowd. Four huge tanks also came in for much attention. One of the prettiest features of the parade was the release of a covey of pigeons In front of the king's stand. Women war workers received one long ovation as they passed over the six miles of London streets. Espe cially did Queen Mary's auxiliary corps win applause, and at this the royal patroness seemed greatly pleased. As the last troops passed the stand the great crowd made a rush for the royal pavilion, where there was a demonstration for the king and queen while the massed guards' hands played "God Save the King." Once the parade was over the crowds gathered in the cent er of the city, eager to begin the street revels. Plicadilly Circus, Leicester Square and the Strand soon were filled nwith merry-makers, who braved showers to start the dancing. G roups o; girls costumed in the national colors and young men in carnival attire led in the frolics. The king and queen entertained the otlleers of the allied tont ingents at luncheon at 1hickingliam palace.
