"During tue afternoon two
aeroplanes—supposed to be British

hanging them down. On their third
visit the Canadian field' battery

“From behind one hill two British
monoplanes soared so low over us
that we could see their guns;
they climbed into the sky to drive
away a Taube biplane which was
flying over the hill sidewise In the
heavy wind. The Taube took to
flight at a height so great that It
looked like a dot in the sky even

punctuated the sky. albove and below

Madison Square Garden, indissolubly
associated with the city of New York,
was purchased in 18.53 by the Harlem

The Oap'toline palaces had been
decorated with historic tapestries,
commemorating events of great na-

livered a patriotic address, after
which,, surrounded by aldermen and
the municipal council and preceded
by the standard of Rome,'he started
for the Quirinai to pay tribute to
King Victor Emmanuel as the per-
sonification of Italy.
Veritable rivers of humanity
poured through the streetB leading
to the palace. Thousands were
packed into the great Qnlrlnat
square. The scene enacted when his
Majesty and his family appeared
has few parreiels in the history of

crowd numbered several hundred
thousand.
After the demonstration before
the Quirinai a great crowd with an
American flag carried at the head
went to the Del Drago palace, the
residence of United States Ambas-
sador Thomas Nelson Page. There
were loud cheers for America and
demands for revenge for the Lusi-
tania victims.
Great excitement was caused to-
night by the report "that Signor
Bollatl, Italian ambassador at Ber-
lin hsd been assaulted while driving

however, that the Incident was not
so serious as it was thought, tat-
