10 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: SEPTEMBER 9, 1917. AMERICAN SOLDIERS CHEERED IN LONDON GrapMffDescription in "The Thunderer" of Warm Eecep tion Accorded "Sammies" in British Capital (From The London Times.) Yesterday morning Londoners had one of their few chances to cheer and wax enthusiastic since the war began. American troops marched through the streets behind the flag of the great republic. From 8:30 the troops marched from Waterloo to the Wellington barracks. At the railway station there were hundreds of British soldiers going on leave and a few score coming back from France. It ws there that the Americans got their first noisy wel come. The Tommies cheered in Brit ' ish fashion, and the Americans, stand ing easy, responded with the sort of cheer that one hears from the big league crowds when the White Sox have "put it over" the Giants. Every nation cheers in its own way, but in the cheers of both nations at Water loo there was the same enthusiasm. At Wellington barracks Colonel Lassiter, the military attache of the American embassy, was present to welcome the units as they arrived. With him were Lord Derby, Lieuten ant General Sir Francis Lloyd, and a number of officers of the Guards' brigade. There was a tremendous crowd here from 9 o'clock onwards, and the railings of the parade ground were packed with people eager to make the men from the United States feel at home, and incidentally to beg a souvenir or two from their, in the shape of a button or a badge. At 11:30 the troops left the barracks to the tune of "The Boston Tea Party," surely a strange air to be played be fore troops in the streets of London, ut still a most appropriate one. The Men Themselves. The men were admired all along the route. They were a remarkably uni form lot, and their physique was splendid. All of them are volunteers, and most of them are men who have been working with their hands in the west on railway constructional works, and they are necessarily as rt as an open-air rigorous life can make them. They marched with a free step, much like the Colonial troops. They never seemed to tire or grow slack. And it was a tiring march, even thoUgh it was not a long one, for the streets were hot, and the men were up very early in the morning to entrain for the city. . . - The Americans wear the 'hat that has been made familiar to us by the New Zealand forces a felt hat with a straight brim and pinched crown. Each unit of the American ; army wears a different cord round the crown, with two tassels hanging on the brim In front The men carried waterproof capes slung in their 'belts behind. Instead of puttees they wore canvas leggings laced in front These are particularly useful for every class of service. On the Mexican border they were found to be, cool and com fortable. In France they,, will be every bit as useful, for they do not collect as much mud at puttees, and are easily washed. : ' " Many Have Seen Service. . ' The sergeants, many of them with medal ribbons telling of their service in Mexico, the Philippines, or China, ail wore automatic pistols hung handily on the right hip. Their chev rons denoting rank are reversed and the "Vs" of the stripes point upwards. There was at least one man from the New York police in the non-commissioned ranks, and perhaps a patrol man or two from Chicago. In the watching crowd one was often struck with the frequent com ment on the physical appearance of the American troops. They went along with shoulders squared and their eyes to the front There was no talking in the march, and each man kept the alignment of his four splen didly. When, as often happened, the column paused on the route, the men marked time with -a precision that would have pleased even , a Guards sergeant-major, There ' was one noticeable thing about their appear ance, and that was the lack of mus taches. Very few of them that had mustaches, and fewer stiU had beards. Saluting "Old Glory." At the head of each battalion was carried the Stars and Stripes, and it can safely be said the "Old Glory" has never had such a rousing recep tion in the streets of London before. As each colour party passed it was saluted by every man, among the watching crowds. Civilians doffed their hats, and soldiers saluted rigidly. Oftett, too, it was the signal for three cheers. ' -There were many individual 'ex amples of enthusiasm, and they were not missed by tbe marching men. : In the Green park, when the men halted, one of them called to the other, "Say, did you get the little 'bell-hop look ing through the grating in Pell Mell street? The one that was hollerin' 'Are we downhearted?"' They had - all noticed him, and his little tribute was appreciated. As a matter of fact it was the page-boy .of, the Automo bile club, who had squeezed his head through the grille above the front door and so addressed the crowd be neath and received a rousing answer, Once in the crowd there came a weird sound that caused all heads to turn in wonder. The American files knew it and although they could not respond, they smiled as they looked straight to their front, for it was the college yell of Harvard. Yale followed in lesser voice, and ended witn a horse wheete. Many of the men in the ranks were engineering graduates, and many of them were athletes. More than one private carrying his rifle in vesterdav'a narade lias stood at the diamond and hit balls that made the out field scatter to the four corners of the ground. , ' Some Real Athletes. Many of them have pitched balls fast enough and curly enough to make the best batsman resume his seat after a bare few seconds with never a base sained. Some of them are runners, who have breasted the taoe for Pennsylvania. Princeton, Yale and Harvard. They are all in a bigger game now, where the pace is faster and the stake greater. .The ancestors of many,of these men foutrht in the civil war and it is cer tain that the traditions of Gettysburg, Haroer's Femr and the Hagerstown 'Pike will be jealously guarded. There wilt be many families in the United States in a few years who will be able to point to war records covering three generations.' The column swung east the Nelson monument, along Pall-mall, and up in to Piccadilly, where the crowd was not so dense. Then they marched to the American embassy, where they passed the ambassador and Mrs. Page. As each company marched past tne men came to the salute, and the move. ment was acknowledged by Mr. Page Canadians at the Maple Leaf club cheered hard and continuously as the procession swung tas the em bassy. At Buckingham Palace. Perhaps the crowd was thickest and most enthusiastic round Buckingham palace, where the king, queen Alex andra. Lord French and Lieutenant General Sir Francis Lloyd stood at the saluting base in front of the massed bands of the Guards' brigade. As the salute was given by each com pany in turn the king acknowledged it, and the crowd burst into prolonged cheering. One band played "The Long, Long Iran, and the crowd took up the refrain in great voice, helping the strains of the brass with a fine volume of sound. When the Stars and Stripes came past the king and all the military officers at the sa luting point paid the proper compli ments. When most of the troops had gone by a motor car drove into the cleared space in front of the palace, and the prince himself stepped out amidst cheers, and walked briskly across to the king, and stood beside him, until the guard of honor had been in" spected. in the Green park the Americans were given a light luncheon at open- air tables, and many of their country men mixed with them and stayed to talk of their homes. The Canadians were especially fra ternal in their greetings for many of them had friends in both forces, and after all it is not a far cry from Medi cine Hat to Missouri or from Montreal to Massachusetts, The whole procession was an ex cellent argument in favor of our hav ing more of the same sort of thing. Why should not we see our own men from Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa march through the streets? Yesterday's enthusiasm was sufficient warranty that the London public needs a spectacle like this every little while, and it would be a pretty compliment if it could be arranged. When the bands passed the cheering grew louder than ever, aid the pipers of the Irish Guards, in brick-colored kilt, and with Irish pipes, the stocks decked with emerald ribbons, received a particularly hearty reception. The bands of the Guards, in full strength, were distributed along the column, and they played every appropriate air their bandmaster could think of. The opinion of the average man in the crowd was that it was a good show; and it was a pity that we did not have ....... Seventh German War Loan I 8 About to Be Launched Copenhagen, Sept 8.

W. W. Evidence Sifted by Federal Authorities Indicates German Money Financed Peace Propaganda. (By Associated PreM.) Washington, Sept 8. Numerous indictments for conspiracy to thwart the government's war plans appear to be in prospect as a result of Wednes day's nation-wide raid of Industrial Workers of the World officials by Department of Justice agents. Evidence is said to be fast accumu lating to support the belief that a gigantic conspiracy has existed for some time to cripple the government in carrying on the war, that its ram ifications have extended into virtual ly ever state and that numerous anti war Activities which appeared to emanate from many sources in reality had their fountain head in a single group of conspiratorj, Anti-draft demonstrations, crip pling of war industries by so-called labor disturbances, burning of crops and continuous preachment of anti- ally sentiment, intended to embarrass the government and retard the exer cise of its full strength in prosecuting the war, appear from recent disclos ures to have been included within the scope of the alleged conspiracy. Into the formation and the work ings of this alleged conspiracy the De partment of Justice has begun an in quiry more comprehensive, it is said, than any launched since this coun try's entry into the war. Origin Probably in Chicago, y How closely the anti-war activities and propaganda have been interre lated is to be determined largely by the federal grand jury now sitting at Chicago investigating documents seized in raids Wednesday of Indus trial Worker of the World and so cialist offices of that city. Indications are that the alleged conspiracy had its origin in Chicago and for some time was actively directed from that city. ; There are also indications that Ger man money financed, in part this propaganda, that German funds were spent freely to further the ends of tne conspirators and that of the many persons believed to be actively identi fied in carrying on the work, few knew of this source of financial sup port. Ihe grand jury inquiry will not be confined, from present indications. to Chicago. United States attornevs who have not accumulated docu mentary evidence which apparently supports the theory of a great con spiracy are said to be few in number. It is probable that much of this evi dence will be presented to other grand juries. bo vast is the accumulation of papers of all descriptions seized by the government agents that the great bulk still lies unsifted and the exact determination of their contents and significance -probably will not be reached for several days, - Many ot these documents are said to. relate to labor disturbances in the west and the Pacific northwest Chicago Mayor Files Suits for $1,600,000 Chicago.

COIN AND BULLION HELD IN COUNTRY President Places Embargo on Exportation of Currency; Fed eral Reserve Bank May Issue Special Licenses. (By Associated Press.) ' Washington, Sept 8. President Wilson kmight placed an embargo, effective September 10, on the ex portation of coin, bullion and curren cy. At the same time lie authorized the secretary of the treasury to li cense such exportation where, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, they are not harmful to the public in terest The embargo, which applies to all nations, places absolute control over gold- exports in the hands of Secre tary McAdoo and the federal reserve board. Officials believe that the mea sure will go far toward conserving the huge store of gold accumulated in this country since the beginning of the war, a store which recently has been drawn upon rather heavily by Japan, Mexico and Spain. Recently the federal reserve board requested the bankers of the country to aid, so far as1 possible, in checking the growing exports. Strict adhesion to the embargo is recognized as unlikely and undesira ble. Curtailment, however, of the free movement of gold to the orient appears probable. For some time past treasury and reserve board officials have Viewed with some concern the tendency of gold to flow away from the United States, a movement which started with the financing of the allies.
