Burrage, commander of the Amer- ican Naval Forces in Europe, re- ceived a foretaste of the reception he will receive in Washington, New York, St. Louis and other cities, which have determined to outdo | the ovations given the American flyer by Paris, Brussels and Lon- don. Washington may heap the most honors upon him, New York may have the most people along the line of march and St. Louis may give him the noisest rece jstion, but the naval and aerial display off “The Capes” yesterday after- noon stands out as the most pic- turesque demonstration the young Missouri National Guardsman has yet encountered. | e Still Modest and Curious.
