March'of Victory
Of London’s Own
England’s War Heroes Greeted by
King and Lord Mayor
London. —London was en fete today,
and vast crowds turned out to witness
what, to them, was the most important
and intimately personal of all the great
military parades of the past few months—
the “Victory March” of London’s own
citizen soldiery. In all, the metropolis
sent nearly a miUion men to the colors,
but difficulties of demobilization, the ex
traordinary variety of units affected, and,
of course the enormous number of eligi
ble marchers, had hltnerto prevented
anything in the way of a civic reception
being arranged for London’s own heroes.
Today's march was limited to men of
the old London Territorials (correspond
ing to U. S. National Guards), who had
fought abroad with London units. Fif
teen thousand participated, but the num
ber could have been trebled or quad
rupled had it been possible to arrange
for so large a march. They formed the
backbone of the four London Territorial
Divisions which volunteered for service
overseas, the 47th, 56th, 58th and 60th;
with a dozen other citizen battalions
which fought with various The
47th Division was in action in 1914, and
earned the reputation of being equal to
the finest of the “Old Contemptible” di
visions, being frequently mentioned in
British and French “Orders of the Day**.
The 56th were all in France by early ’ls;
And the 58th and 60th went to France in
1916. The last-named division traveled
far, for it also fought in Salonika and
Palestine, Londoners recalling with pride
that it was the 60th that captured Jeru
salem.
King George took the salute at Buck
ingham Palace at 2:30 p. m. as the huge
column, marching eight a breast, swung
ANNA SHAW'S LAST
MESSAGE WAS APPEAL
FOR THE LEAGUE
New York. —Dr. Anna Howard Shaw’s
last message to the women of her coun
try was au_ appeal for the league of na
tions. The manuscript, much of It in Dr.
Shaw’s own handwriting, was received
here last Tuesday at the National Head
quarters of the league to enforce peace
and is now in the printer's hands for
publication.
Dr. Shaw was a member of the nation
al executive committee of the league, and
one of the first women elected to offlce in
that organization. She took an active
part in the league’s campaign for ratifi
cation of the Paris covenant, and her
friends believe that her enthusiasm for
the league cause led her to overtax her
strength during tl* trip she made last
May with ex-President Taft and other
leading supporters of the covenant, trav
eling every' night and speaking every day
at a series of league conventions. She
was stricken with pneumonia at Spring
field, lit., when the trip was half over.
In the manuscript received here, Dr.
Shaw says:
“Everybody must die, sometime, and it
does not make as much difference, per
haps, as to the lumber of days we live
as it does to the manner in which We live
the days we do live.’’
Dr. Shaw’s statement, which probably
represents her last work before the re
lapse which caused her death on Wednes
day, is entitled WHAT THE WAK
MEANT TO WOMEN. In it she makes
an impassioned plea for the establish
ment of a league of nations for perma
nent peace and calls upon the women in
the United States to use all their influ
ence to bring about the ratification of the
league covenant. Following are some of
Dr. Share’s most striking sentences:
“We know that men are ready to die
in war; but there are great many things
harder than to die. There are some
things that are worth a great deal more
than life, and one thing which was worth
more than life to the men who went out
and laid down their lives for their coun-,
tries, was not to leave a dishonored na
tion, a nation unworthy of the civiliza
tion of our time, a nation which had no
heart to feel and no understanding to
realize the conditions of intimate asso
ciation between nation and nation and
the obligation which one nation has to
care for and sympathize with another.
"While Mr. Wilson said we want no
thing out of the war, I said in my own
heart—‘lt may be that we want nothing
material out of the war, but, we want the
biggest thing out of this war that has
ever come to the world. We want peace
now and peace forever.’
"If we cannot get that peace out of this
war, what hope is there that it will ever
come to humanity? Was there ever such
a chance offered to fee world before?
Was there ever a time when the peoples
of all nations looked towards America as
they are looking today, because of our
unselfishness in our dealings with them
during the war?
"The, treaty of peace which has been
submitted to the Germans, I think, is the
most marvelous document In the world,
and I have been wondering how many
hundred men it took to think up all the
demands they put into that peace pact.
"We must look facts in the face. All
humanity is one. The world is one. And
no nation can suffer unless all nations
suffer. No nations can prosper without
all nations properlng. We have got to
take facts as they are and we have got
to find out the best thing we can have.
The best thing that has been given us
and the only thing we have before us is
this league of nations. We have no other
league of nationa We have only this one.
We must take this one or no one can
tell what will come. We have a midway
point. We have no purgatory. We have
to choose either Heaven or Hell. We
must t*ke It or we must reject it.
"Oh, men, we women, the mothers of
the race, have given everything, have
suffered everything, have sacrificed
everything, and we come to you now and
say, ’The time has come when we will
no longer eit quietly by and bear and
rear song to die at the will of a few men.
We will not endure It! We will not en
dure It! We demand that either-you shall
do something to prevent war or that we
shall be permitted to try to do something
ourselves. ’
"Could there be any cowardice, could
there be any lajustlce, could there be
any wrong, greater than to refuse to hear
the voice of a woman expressing the will
of women at the peace table of the world
and then for men not to provide a way
by which the women of the future shall
not be rcbbed of their sons as the. women
of the past have been?
"To you men we look for eupport. We
took Icr your support back of your sen
ators and from this day until the day
when the league of nations is accepted
and ratified by the senate of the United
States. It should be the dut yof every
man and every woman to see to it that
the senators from their state know the
will of the people; that they know that
the people wills that something shall bn
done, even though not perfect; that there
shall be a beginning, from which we shall
construct something more perfect by and
by; that the will of the people is that
this league shall be accepted und that If
in the senate of the United States, there
are men so blinded by partisan desire for
present advantage. s» blinded by person
al pique and narrowness of vision, that
they cannot see the large problems
which Involve the nations of the world;
then the people of tha States must see a"

[UNITED PRESS)
down Constitution HM from Hyde Park,
bound for the City, where Lord Mayor
Sir Horace Marshall and the whole of the
aldermen and councillors were waiting to
welcome the marchers at the Mansion
House. At various other points along the
route, borough boundaries, the mayors
and councils, in full robes and civic re
galia, assembled to do honor to the lo’cal
heroes. The route was lavishly decorated
with bunting, and numerous triumphal
arches, Venetian rhasts, floral displays,
and cards showing London’s battle hon
ors.
There were scenes of enthusiasm
everywhere, the citizen sold'ers being
mobbed by their admiring friends and
relatives. The march was unique in sev
eral respects, no arms or accoutrements
being carried, no cannon accompanied the
artillery or horses the cavalry, for the
reason that the Londoners have all been
demobilized, only the “cardes,” or skele
ton headquarters of the units, being still
in possession of arms. A very large pro
portion of the marchers were in civilian
clothes —tweeds, flannels, straw hats, der
bys, velours, frock-coats, silk hats
marching alongside the khaki. Most of
the officers availed themselves of the
privilege of wearing uniform, but here
and there a silk hatted or tweed-suited
battalion or company commander was to
be seen at the head of his men. The
number of war ribbons, service chevrons
and wound stripes was extraordinary.
At the conclusion of the parade, every
man was presented with an autographed
letter of thanks from the king, and a
handsome parchment certificate placing
on record his services, expressing the
gratitude of the City of London.
BAKER DISAPPROVES
ANSELI/S DECISION
Washington Recommendation by
Lieut. Colonel Samuel T. Antwll, of the
judge advocate general’s department,
that he case of review of which he is
head, for a re-examimion, has been dis
approved by Seoreary Banker. Certain
specific cass will, however, be examined
again with the object of determining
whether further clemency bhouM be al
lowed.
Secretary Baker said todav that the
1100 military prisoners returning from
France under arrest would be given the
Bame opportunity for haviner their cases
reviewed. It was originally intended, we
said, to have this done by officers of
General Pershing’s staff. Rapid witn-j
drawal, however, of the American ex
peditionary force caused a change or
plans and the same board which review

RAIN DAMAGES CROPS
IN HAMPTON COUNTY
Hampton, S. C.—Reports from many
sections of Hampton County indicate
that crops have been (considerably
damaged by the heavy rains of last
week. Damages are very light in
some sections, but around Crocketville,
Hampton, Varnville, Brunson and
Mileys the crops were covered with
water for several days and in some
instances washed up. Some of the
farmers in the county are of the opin
ion that their crops, which 'were cov
ered with water, have not been great
ly damaged, this is due, many of them
claim, to the unusually cool days and
nights following the heavy rains.
The roads through this and adjoin
ing counties also suffered from rains.
The newly constructed road between
Hampton and Fairfax was almost im
passable for two days last week, and
was badly washed in many places.
All branches and streams in Hamp
ton County were swollen to more than
twice their normal size, and many of
the bridges crossing Salkehatchle
swamp were carries away by the
rushing torrents.
The watermelon crop according to
reports was materially damaged by
the rains. Farmers are of the opin
ion that many of the small melons
were knocked from 'the vines, while
others say that the rains did not dam
age watermelons unless the crop was
very late.
The heaviest rains which have been
reported were within a radius of six
miles of the County Seat. The bridge
between Hampton and Varnville was
inundated for some time; this Is the
first time that rains have swollen
Sander's Branch sufficiently to cause
the water to cover the bridge and
roadbed in a number of years.
