Independence Day was observed as
never before In this city, where Amer
ican Independence was born 142 years
ago. ,
Forty thousand men and women, rep
resenting virtually every race In the
world nnd every nation, marched In
Broad street In testimony of their de
votion to the principles of human lib
erty and political freedom promulgated
from Independence Hall In 1776. They
marched and carried American flags
and the flags of the countries of their
origin. With them were United States
Bailors and marines and Allied soldiers
who had come back disabled from flght
ng the Germans.
Tens of thousands of patriotic citi
zens lined Broad street to be Inspired
by the Imposing procession and to cheer
in wild enthusiasm as each unit passed
proudly by
rroelalm n New Liberty
After the parade thousands of the
marchers nnd thousands of those that
witnessed the procession went to Inde
pendence Square, where tho old indepen
dence of these United States and the new
Independence of the world was further
onserved. Again It was demonstrated
that for nil the bigness of the big heart
of (American there Is no room In It for
prejudice or Injustice, for Madame
Ernestine Kchumann-Heink, In whose
veins Hows German blood, sang and led
the patriotic chorus In which thousands
Joined. Her sons aro flghtlns for democ
racy And In' the declaration room of Inde
pendence Hall a new declaratitm of ln-
dependence was signed by xf escnta
tli'es of twenty-four nations, while the
1-tberty Bell tolled one stroke for
each signer as he afllxed hW name to the
new document wfllch will be, framed
and hung In the chamber near the copy
of the Immortal document that was
signed there nearly a century and a half
ago.
Behind the mounted policemen rode
Mayor Smith as grand marshal of the
pageant. Followed him sailors and ma
rines from tho navy yard and the train
ing school, most of the marines being
rookies because virtually all the sea
soned men of the corps are In France of
on duty along our coasts and could not
leave their posts. In their spotless white
the cervlce men made an impresstve ap
pearance and wer cheered to th echo by
the watchers.
Many Nntlons Represented
Men and women of various patriotic
societies, many of them having origi
nated in Revolutionary days, followed,
and then came aged veterans of the
Orand Army of the Republic, carrying
their torn, faded and battle-scarred but
living flags.
Then appeared the representatives of
the several nations and races that have
contributed of their peoples to the mak
ing of this new nation. ,

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
ADOPTED BY FOREIGNERS HERE
"When In the course of human events It became necessary for the
American people to dissolve the political tics by which (hey had been
bound and to assume among the Powers of the earth the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature nnd nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind required that they should declare the
causes which Impelled them to the separation.
"When later In the course of human history the nation which thus
declared Its Independence Is found In armed resistance to tho aggressions
of autocracy, and when men of many races stand ready to give their
lives that the cause of democracy may prevail, It becomes a duty which
they owe nlike to themselves and to tho world to make known the reasons
for their determination.
"We hold these facts to be self-evident, that the German Emperor
is In quest of world dominion and that at every step taken In pursuit of
his mad ambition he has tempted the German people to trample upon
principles dear to the hearts of all who love America.
"He has with calm forethought and cool deliberation planned for many
years to stifle the free expression of popular will and to set up for the guid
ance of his government a standard of national conduct at variance with
the moral law.
"He has plunged the world Into a war as unnecessary as It Is appalling
and has sought through base hypocrisy to shift the burden of his re
sponsibility upon the very victims, of his unprovoked nttacks.
"He has sought to consummate his crimes of violence and cunning by
super-adding to the rigors of war the frightfulness of pillage, murder and
rape.
"He has violated the rights of unoffending neutral nations and In so
doing has proclaimed that JJie military necessity of the moment outweighs
the obligation of his nation's plighted word.
"He has descended Into the depths in order that from below he might
make the seas unsafe for neutral commerce, and ho has ascended to the
height In order that from nbove he might rain down destruction upon
the poor, the weak and defenseless.
"Ho has constrained patriotic citizens taken captive In war to bear
arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends
and brethren or to fall themselves by their hands.
"He has assembled large armies trained to prevail through massacre
and brutality and Is striving to complete his work of death, desolation
and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy
scarcely paralleled In the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the
head of a civilized nation.
"He has sought to excite domestic insurrections among us, and has
encouraged the commission of diabolical crimes by savage emissaries, who
respect neither age, sex or condition.
"He has exalted the mighty to loftier seats and has scoffed at the
humble and meek.
"He has set at naught the sacred truth that all men nre created
equal; ho has ridiculed the wholesome principle that government derives
its Just powers from the consent of the governed, and has arrogated to
himself the right to rule the world In the divine name, which ho has dis
honored, and by the authority of the Almighty God, whom he has
affronted.
"In the early stages of these oppressions, the people of America re
monstrated even after remonstrance was seen to be In vain and delayed
resort to arms until long after forbearance had ceased to be a virtue.
They appealed from the German Emperor to the German people only to
find that under his corrupting influence they, too, were deaf to the voice
of Justice and of brotherhood. At last the nation took up arms and stands
today Immovable In Its purpose never to lay them aside until the triumph
of democracy has been signalized by the downfall of the Imperial House of
Germany and until the peace of the world has been won.
"We therefore, men of many races, rightfully claiming to be Americans
not merely by residence but by conviction, appealing to the Supreme Judge
of the world for the rectitude of our Intentions, do unite with all loyal
citizens In the solemn declaration that this nation, in waging relentless war
upon Intrenched autocracy, Is discharging a sacred duty to God as well as
to man; that the bonds which unite us with our allies are such that we can
neither falter nor draw back until Just reparation has been made to each
of them for wrongs suffered in the common cause; and that, no matter
how great the strain and stress of war, there must be no talk of peace
until upon the German Emperor a crushing military defeat- has been
inflicted. N
"And for the support of this declaration, publicly affirming; our whole
hearted loyalty (o these United States, and with a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence, we pledge to the nation, to our allies and
to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor,"

A REAL "QUIET" FOURTH
Only Fifteen Arrests in All West Phila
delphia West Philadelphia was a "model" dlB.
trlct yesterday. There were only fifteen
arrest's In the twenty-four hours ended
at 8 o'clock this morning, less than the
average number of arrests on an ordi
nary day and In direct contrast to the
usual number of Fourth of July arrests.
Ten of those arrested were charged
with drunkenness, while offenses of a
minor nature were charged against the
other five. Magistrate Harris, at the
Thirty-second street and Woodland ave
nue station, was elated at the few ar
rests, and showed his appreciation of the
"changed conditions" by discharging all
the prisoners. ,
l
Do We Care" King and
leans yelled, whistled and roared
ac-
cording to megaphone Instructions.
"The stand was full of American
sailors, who sang:
"What the hell do wo care?" to a tune
that was pad and far-away, a melody
for grandmother nodding over the fire.
Bands played, but you couldn't hear
thenl Thousands of people kept up a
yell, hundreds kept up a shriek, fifties
kept up a shout. Scores swung ear
splitting rattles and dozens rang dinner
bolls till you might have thought there
was no such thing as a ration book.

If they were pursued by bees, the camera
men as If wasps were after them In
the midst of this bewildering scurry the

the right thing very naturally and nicely
and everybody was immensely pleased.
"Then the game began. The gentle
man from Pittsburgh told methat base
ball crams Into ten minutes all the
nervous tension of a three-day cricket
match. I am suie It does. He haid a
good pitcher gets $16,000 a yiar. I've
not the leact doubt of it, but if ou
think I understood his explanation of
the gameoi' the brilliant strategy of

or bowls? Tho game's tho thing. The

LANE OUTLINES TIGHT
UNTIL VICTORY' PLANS
Says War to Preserve Chris
tian Civilization Will Con
tinue Until Won
By the Associated I'resi
rittshurcli, July 5
Three years of negotiation, patience
and appeal showed the United States
that there Is-only one language Germany
can understand from the mouth of the
big gun. There will be no limit lo the
number of troops and cannon this coun
try will send against the forces of the
Teutonic autocracy Every Industry and
every dollar in the land is pledged to
support the war until victory for the
Allies
This, briefly, is the Government's
"fight until victory" program outlined by
Franklin K Lane, Secretary of the In
terior, In an address here today before
the closing session of the fifty-sixth an
nual convention of the National Edu
cation Association.
Secretary Lane said 2.000.000 Ameri
can troops will be added to the 1 000,000
already In France, if needed, a year
from now.
"We realize now what we aif fight
ing for," Secretary Lane declaied "We
are not fighting merely from pride, be
cause Germany flouted us. We are not
fighting tp make a page In the history
of wars out of a desiie for martal
glory We are not fighting meiely to
piotect International rights guaranteed
by treaty nnd custom We are at war,
when the last word Is said, for the
preservation of what we call Christian
civilization, which is the lecognltlon of
the fact that physical foite must be
limited by moral force, that the world
is not to belong to the strongest "
Secretary Lane made a plea for the
teaching of Americanism "American
Ism," he declared, "Is neither interna
tionalism nor Intensified nationalism,
but a growth and the right to rrow "
There are B.DOO.000 Illiterates In the
Pnitcd States; 700,000 of these are
within the draft ages. Secretary Lane
said, declaring it is a shame that pub
lic schools are open only half a ear
and "a disgrace that teachers in them
are paid less than a day laborer."

The new form of tickets are good on
all railroads controlled by the Govern
ment. However, one point is not covered by
Mr. McAdoo's order. The matter of
compenatlnK porters for various deeds
is not mentlonid as one of the things
which may be paid for with the "script
tickets." As the matter now stands. It
N n question for the porters alone to de
termine. Tickets will be sold at the rate of
three cents a mile. Excess baggage
charges alo may be paid for with the
"scripts."
When the tickets nre lslled. thev will
resemble the old type of mileage book

Moscow, who has been on the east front
since the outbreak of war. Writing re

"They do not love us herp, and It is
no good pretending that they do. We
are all sick and tired of the war, and
every one wants peace Why doesn't
England meet us half wa?"
This seems to be Hip feeling even
among the troops in the East, where con
ditions are comparatively easy.
