800 SCOTS FROM U.S.
LONDON, AukEight hundred American Scots disembarked at Glasgow yesterday from the Anchor liner Transylvania (10,923 tons), which had been chartered for the Scottish memorial voyage. As she came up the Clyde a giant aeroplane, chartered by Mr \ an Lear Black, the American newspaper magnate, who recently flew in a lokker monoplane from Holland to the Dutch East Indies, dropped bouquets of carnations on deck for his daughter, who was travelling in the ship. The memorial, to which American Scots in every State subscribed more than L 10.000, will be unveiled in Edinburgh on September 7 by the American Ambassador. It takes the form of a kilted soldier in bronze, and fronts a wall on which is the inscription: “ A tribute from men of Scottish blood and sympathies in America to Scotland, a people that jeopardised their lives unto death in the high places of the figld.”
