LONDON,' June 15. (By Mail) The Yeoman of the guard, or beefeaters as they are more familiarly known,' who stand guard in their costumes of black and red, over the tower of London are still talking about their guests, the American soldiers who came over with Major General Pershing. They were the first American troops ever , quartered in the famous stronghold. During their five days stay in London the advance guard of the American army slept, ate and made friends in the place which Americans first think of as the spot where spies are shot. , Here inside the walls of the place which has played such an important part in England's history" were gathered khaki-clad men from all parts; of the United States; destined to be the first of the American army to participate in the European war. Beefeaters saluted. When these enlisted men returning tried and hungry after a hard day's investigation of the beauties of Westminister and St. Paul's passed over the bridge of the wide moat of the Tower, beefeaters and members of the Honorable Artillery Company stood at attention and saluted. Even the sergeant-major, engrossed in drilling raw recruits in the dry moat underneath found time to call his "rookies" to salute the Americans. On one occasion, when , the Americans came tramping in singing the Star Spangled Banner, every British soldier within - hearing stood ; and saluted. Some of the latter took up the etrands of "God ; Save the King" and the Americans saluted in turn. Occupied Two Rooms. The American troops occupied two large rooms in the barracks under the shadow of the White Tower, which was the scene of so much suffering in the tragic days of England's early history,

when it was a gloomy dungeon and later a state prison. Now the royal jewels are housed there. The men : slept on cots made ot iron with two-piece mattresses; they ate from long tables in a huge mess hall. "This don't look as if England is starving as the Germans are trying to make out," said an American sergeant as be put away a second helping of roast beef. The Americans were all well fed as the British troops who have earned the reputation in this war of being' the best fed army that ever went into battle.
