A M MON TROOPS
A UNIQUE "EMPIRE PAGEANT IN
,OLD LONDON STREETS.
General Currie Herds March Through
the Caritas of Overseas Forces and
His Majesty Takes Salute.
The march through London on May
3rd of the' Overseas troops provided a
unique Empire pageant for the dense
nowtls of cheering people with which
the route was lined. The r' i,ily de-
caletcd streets, ablaze with itllied
flags, presented a brilliant picture in
the bright sunshine, while siivadrons
of airplanes, piloted by Dominion aces,
circled and swooped above the ranks
of marching troops.
H. R. H, Prince Arthur of Connaught
accompanied Lt. -Gen. Sir Arthur Cur-
rie at the head of the Canadians, who
led the procession. In succession fol-
lowed Gena Chauvel with the Austra-
lians, Gen. Young with the New Zea-
landers, Col. Thackeray with the South
Africans, and Col. Bernard with the
Newfouii'lilanders.
The King, who in tiie morning held
an investiture of overseas troops, took
the salute at the palace.
The King's Address.
Tlie foilow-Ing message from the
King was handed each man on the die
persal of the parade: "Officers, non-
commissioned officers and men of the
overeeas forces:
"It is with a heart full of pride and
gratitude I take your salute to -day as
you march in triumph, through Lon-
don. The people of the British Do-
minions beyond the seas by their in-
stant readiness to share in the trials
end responsibilities of the great war
have shown to the world the unity of
the British Empire. You, with your
comrades from the Mother Country,
vied with one another in noble deeds,
which will ever be held in proud re-
membrance. Readily you adapted
yourselves to changing conditions of a
new and formidable kind of warfare,
and endured physical hardships and
exacting mental strain.
"Whether on the plains of Flanders,
the heights of Gallipoli, in France, in
Palestine or other theatres of war you
displayed gallant endurance in de-
fence and vigorous initiative in at-
tack. We and future generations will
never forget the part played by the
Canadians in the second battle of
Ypres and Vimy Ridge, by the Aus-
tralians and New Zealanders at Galli-
poli, and in the advance in France in
the spring of 1917 by troops of all the
three Dominions in breaking the Hin-
denburg Line last year, by the South
African Brigade in Delville Wood, and
.by the Royal Newfoundland Regiment
at Mondry Le Preux.
"Now in the day of victory I wish
to express to you who represent the
overseas forces my unbounded ad-
miration for your splendid feats of
arms and sacrifices you have made.
I wish you all God -speed on your home-
ward journey, with the hope that the
outcome of this world struggle will as-
sure peace to your children and your
children's children."
High Standard of Courage.
As one writer says, "Each Dominion
Contingent in its first battle set itself
to reach and reached the highest
standard of desperate and disciplined
cool ;ge."
It is pointed out that the Victoria
Cross was never so hard to win as in
the r':e c nt war, yet the number con-
ferred on overseas soldiers is greater
than the crosses gained by all arias
in any previous campaign, with the ex-
ception of the Indian Mutiny.
The Times prints a detailed account
of the deeds of Canadians and New-
foundlanders and says the final effort
of Canada during the last hundred
days is worthy of her sons, who, un-
der Geu. Currie, proved second to
none in battle.
• A Shrewd Turk.
Writing in Asia, Mr, John Van Ess
relates a tale that exhibits an interest-
ing bit of Turkish acumen. I once
happened to be on a Turkish steamer,
he says, when there were four Europ-
eans In the first saloon. The cook had
prepared a roast for our dinner and
had placed it in the scullery window.
A. short time before the moat he came
frantically in to the pasha who com-
manded the three hundred soldiers on
board, exclaiming that the roast had
beeu stolen.
The pasha, undisturbed, detailed an
aid to hunt out the thief.
"Line up the soldiers on deck," said
he, "and sinell every man's breath.

BRITAIN PREPARES
FOR PEACE REVELS
GREATEST OF ALL CELEBRA-
TIONS TO BE HELD IN JUNE.
General Illumination of the Whole
Kingdom at 11 p.m: on Night Fixed
—Pageants and Plays.
The date of the celebration of peace
in Britain is yet uncertain, though
June is still spoken of, says a London
despatch. He is wise who refuses to
prophesy, but it is safe to prophesy
one thing, and that is when the peace
night revels do come off they will be
fast and furious. with bonfires and
beacons and squibs and crackers, and,
with the sanction of the War Office, a
barrage of star shells and Verey lights,
with the long white beams from scores
of searchlights illuminating the whole,
There will be no end of light and
laughter, pageants and plays and
shows, and the whole Empire, circled
by a chain of fire, will rejoice.
Under the direction of a committee
of members of Parliament, presided
over by Mr. J. G. Butcher; M.P., Peace
Celebrations, Beacons, and Bonfires
Committees have been formed all
over the 1,ingdom, which have ar-
ranged that the general illumination
of the whole kingdom will commence
at eleven pen. on the night fixed.
As the use of valuable fuel is to be
deprecated at this time, the Admiralty
hand War Office are supplying the large
surplus stocks of Dover flares, rockets
and handliglits at the very lowest pos-
sible prices, so that for even the smaIl-
est communities they may be cheap
enough. The flares, the invention of
the late Wing Commander Brock, bril-
liantly illuminate an area of three
miles radius. They burn for seven
and a half minutes, weigh ninety
pounds, stand three feet high by eight
inches diameter, are non -explosive
and are fired by friction, so that they
are safe enough even to the most in-
experienced. Eight of these flares
will maintain the illumination for an
hour, and conveyed to mountain tops
in sufficient number the whole Em-
pire should be made bright as day for
hour evenon the darkest, nio le
oIi ss
and cloudiest night.
Great Peace Pageants.
But the bonfires will not he confined
to the flares alone. All the waste
brushwood and hedgerow clippings,
which at this time of year are usually
burned up, are being collected to make
bonfires on "the night." They will
make a dull red glow, with a maxi-
mum of smoke, but they will serve.
Tlien there is to be a wonderful
series of peace pageants to be given
in various great centres in aid of St.

Dunstan's Fund for soldiers blinded in
the war. St. Dunstan's, which has the
patronage of Queen Alexandra, is
striving now to enlist the help of 20,-
000 voluntary performers, for whom
costumes aro being prepared. It is to
be a gigantic production with scenic
and mechanical effects never before
attempted or even thought of in con-
nection with open air displays. This
pageant, which will have a vast cen-
tral arena and subsidiary stages on
either side, will open with au episode
showing the Empire at peace. Then,
with the call to arms, cone the "Old
Contemptibles" boarding a great
troopship.
The early stages of the conflict will
be realistically depicted, and it is pro-
posed that in each city where the
Peace Pageant is given the most not-
able deeds of local regiments shall be
reconstructed, where possible, by the
men who fought in the engagements.
The Navy is the theme of the fourth
episode, which will begin with the
Spithead Review of 1914 and close
with the glorious attack on Zeebrugge,
In the final scene of triumph all the
regiments of the Allies will be repre-
sented in a parade of colors reminis-
cent of the days before khaki replaced
distinctive and decorative uniform. As
a finale, symbolic of the coming gene-
ration, a thousand children clad in
red, white andblue will form a lief:
Union Jack.
Choir of 20,000 Voices. -.
The League of Arts is arranging for
other entertainments on a colossal
scale in London. On from twenty to
thirty of the paries and commons
stands are to be erected capable of
accommodating about 1,000 instru-
mentalists and singers, and in addition,
there will be raised stages for the pro
duction of such plays as "A Midsum-
mer Night's Dream" and "As You Like
It."
The organization of a choir of 20,-
000 voices to sing in the open air is
being undertaken by Dr.. Charles
Harris. "I will raise a choir of 10,-
000 in London and 10,000 in the pro-
; vinces and bring them together in a
' London park," says Dr. Harris. "All
the things we sing are known to most
people. We are not going to attempt
to sing over people's beads, but just
simple things which appeal to the 1nu1-
titude—the national anthems of the
Allies, `March of the Mon of Harlech,'
parts of the `Hallelujah Chorus,' while
there is a wealth of expression both
in words and music in 'Hymns Ancient
and Modern,' which are worth singing.
In a big demonstration of this sort
the singing must be on simple lines,
and it is kept within this area of
modesty in music every one can un-
derstand and every one can sing."

passes through a molten zinc galvan-

square, a yard long and about one hun-
dred and fifty pounds in weight. The
wire makers bring the barn to a white-
hot, pliable condition, then run them
through a series of grooved rolls in
the rod mill. It forms them into rods
of lead -pencil size that are conveyed
through a pipe to a mechanism that
coils them into bundles, The rods are
then carried on moving platforms to
the open air and cooled. From that
point on, says the Scientific American,
the wire makers bring the metal to
its final shape while it is cold by the
wire -drawing process.
The bundles are first immersed in a
'vat of dilute sulphuric acid, called a
pickling solution. Then after most of
the acid is got rid of in a hot-water
bath, the rods are run very slowly un-
der successive sprays of water. The
rods are then dipped in milk of lime
to neutralize any remaining traces of
acid, in order to protect then from
further atmospheric action, and to pro-
vide them'with a libricant during their
subsequent passage through the steel
die. Brittleness is next overcome by
baking the lime -coated rods for sever-
al hours in an oven at a temperature
of fotir hundred degrees; after that
they are ready to be drawn into wire.
A wire -drawing die le a solid piece
of steel with a number of round, tap-
