London, July 19.—Land, sea and
air forces ot the British empire and
her allies were represented to-day
in the triumphal victory parade to
mark the return ot peace. Several
million persons watched the gorge-ous
spectacle, taelr enthusiasm
growing as the various sections
moved by them.
When the British contingents
came in sight the applause became
a great roar, above which could be
heard at times the shrill voices of
women. The patriotic fervor had its
climax in the great demonstration
along Pall Mall and about the pavil-ion
before Buckingham palace,
where King George. Queen Mary,
Premier Lloyd George, the cabinet
ministers, the American ambassa-dor,
John W. Davis and other dip-lomats
reviewed the parade.
General Pershing, leading the
American forces, was given a hearty
reception. So also were Marshal
Foch and the French, and the other
allied leaders and their contin-gents.

Washington, July 19.—The most
serious of the recently growing list
of attacks on Americans In Mexico
came tc light to-day.
A boat icad of American sailors
from the U. S. 8. Cheyenne were
held up in the Temeai river, en July
6, nine miles eatft of the etty ot
Tampico, and the sailors were rob-bed.
The American flag was flying
from the boat at the time.
Closely resembling the attacks o*
American sailors which led to the
occupation ot Vera- Cms in 1914,
the state department did not hes-itate
to regard it as a most grave
affair and immediately dispatched
urgent representations to the Car-ranza
government and the local au-thorities
at Tampico.
Although the sailors were fishing,
they were on official duty bringing
in food for their ship, and the
American flag flying from the boat
denoted that It was official business.
Preliminary reports of the at-tack,
reaching the navy department
on July 7, did not go to the state
department until to-day, when it
promptly was given out. No ex-planation
was made for the delay.
To-day Secretary Daniels asked for
a fuller report.

statement:
"The department of state has
just been advised that on July 6 a
boat trom the U. S. S. Cheyenne
occupied by enlisted men of that
vessel who were on a fishing trip,
was held up on the Temesi river,
near Tampico, by armed men. The
sailors were robbed of personal ef-fects.
