The Hungarian government made a grand open-air fete to celebrate the Independence Day of the United States. Hungary has always been an intensely liberty loving people and at present their cordiality toward the American people is genuine and freely expressed. An altar was placed on the steps of the Hungarian museum facing the chief square of Budapest. Over the altar was an American eagle surmounting crossed American flags in the centre of which was a Red Cross. The square was filled with troops and crowds of children carrying the Austrian and Hungarian flags. Upon the lower steps of the museum, facing the altar, were the ministers of the Hungarian government and the heads of the American Red Cross in Hungary. The first row of figures from left to right are: Hungarian Minister of War, Mrs. Thompson of California, head of the women's work for American Red Cross in Hungary, Capt. James G. Pedlow, Brooklyn, director of Budapest unit of the R. C. the Prime Minister of the Hungarian Republic. Mrs. Thompson is holding an American flag made of carnations, presented to her by the school children of Budapest. Capt. Pedlow is holding a bouquet and resolutions given him by young men students of the Hungarian college
