Baltimore, Md., July 4.—Independ
ence Day in Baltimore was celebrated
by a public demonstration which sur
passed anything of its nature in the
history of the city or state. Every fea
ture of it was planned with the view
to a “safe and sane” observance of the
day.
The celebration started early in the
forenoon with a marine parade headed
by United States torpedo boats, escort
ing ‘the ship of history,” which was
followed by several hundred steam and
motor crafts. On board the “ship of
history” was “Lord Baltimore,” the
founder of the colony and “Mistress
Margaret Brent,” who played so Im
portant a part In the early history of
Mar^'land.
The “ship of history,” was met at
the pier by Governor Crothers and
Mayor Preston and the keys .of the city
were presented to “Lord Baltimore”
and “Mistress Margaret,” by the may-
program was divided into three parts.
The first part was “The Making
of the Nation.” E!ach nation v:hlch

America was represented by a tab
leau while a trained chorus ot two
hundred and fifty voices sang the
national anthem of that country. The
nations represented were the En
glish, French, Scotch, Irish, German,
Spanish, Swedish, Dutch and the
negro.
Part two w’fls a presentation of the
“History of the Nation” by means
of its national song. For Columbus
discovering America, “America’’ was
sung. “Yankee Doodle” was played
while a revolutionary tableau v.as
shown. Francis Scott Key and hla
friends posed for the “Star Spangled
Banner," and so on for the “Bivouac
of the Dead.” “Dixie,” “The Battle
