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

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

greeted by all. lie stood with King

review.

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. The
guests included also Premier i'loyd

Columbia, July 22.-A statemen
urging all county treasurers of tl
United War Work campaign to chec
up their accounts and make a fina
effort. to secure outstanding subscrip
tions at once in order to show a cleat
slate for government inspection, ha,
been issued by .John W. Simpson, o
the National Loan & Exchange iBani
and treasurer of the campaign 'ii
South Carolina.
Mr. Simpson likewise makes an ap
peal for individual subscribers to pay
up their subscriptions in full imnme
diately. It Is not only the fair ant
square thing for them to do, he says
but he points out the fact that it h
to their interest to discharge sucil
long-standing obligations now and
face the forthcoming era of prosperi
ty free of debt and worry.
"Within the next few weeks it is the
purpose of the leaders who put over
the United War Work campaign last
fall to clean up all their accounts foi
presentation to government authori
ties," said Mr. Simpson. "As treas
urer of the campaign in South Caro
lina, I think it is not unitting for me
to suggest that treasurers everyiwhere
and the pub!ic generally co-operate
with the niited War Work commit
lee in helping South C'arolina and the
South to make the best possible show
ing in the final check up.
"There are still outstanding sub
scriptions wholly or in part unpaid
which can .)c paid at once. This is
true of Col'inhia, of many counties
in the state and of the entire South.
"Quite aside from any patriotic con
sideratioln or the fact that these sub
scribers are as bounden to make good
this debt as they are a note at the
bank, which volutnteer(d to act as
tras'ur in the interest of Ihem
selves and the (ominunity al large to
comIplete their pay menits.
"It is an annoyance and poor busi
ness to let this promise slide. Our
brank, which volu nte(ered to act as
Ireasure tfor the caint aign, has been
forced to keen several people on this
.iob alone. The t'nited War Work com
tnillee has found it necessary to em
ploy others to look after the details
of Collection. It is high tin' for the
public to make possible the release of
these resiontsibilities.
"Moreover, it is to the individual's
own interest to discharge these debts.
