IN COMING DAY

ALLIES WILL MARCH AS LIBERATORS CHURCHILL ON AMERICAN PREPARATIONS. LESSONS OF MODERN WAR LEARNED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 27. Mr Churchill, before leaving for England, attended a parade of American troops, and expressed himself, according to an agency message, as “enormously impressed by the thoroughness and precision with which the formation of the great war time army in America is proceeding.” A parachute display, said Mr Churchill, was the most remarkable he had ever seen. “Our enemies,” he continued, “have gained great successes by modern methods, but what I see here shows that in the long run we shall have been found not only to have profited by their qxample but also to have turned their methods to even better account in the good cause. This is a matter which has ceaselessly engaged the thoughts and studies of all those who are engaged in the prosecution of plans for the war. “The day will come when British and American armies will march not as invaders but as liberators, aiding those who have been held down under the cruel barbarian yoke. When it comes, it will open the world to a larger freedom and to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all that is expressed by the grand words of your Declaration of Independence. ‘ “I always feel refreshed and cheered by a visit to America; I feel the ties of blood as well as friendship; and, with your great President and distinguished naval and military leaders, I feel that we are working with men of iron, with tireless energy, foresight and an inflexible purpose. If there is any rivalry between us, it will only be to show who can be the best comrade in the long, hard struggle.”
