All Of Chicago's civil organizations

tary pageant have been revised, and
the indications now point to the Octo-
Der celebration as a probable record
breaker as a procession in which the
citizen, the soldier and the sailor will
march with the president of the Uni
ted States and other great men Of the
nation at the head. As a result of the
change in plans 1t is estimated that
10000 men will be in line.
Chairman McNulty Of the peace ju-
bilee parade committee has decided to
admit uniformed civil organizations in
the big procession to be held October
10. This revision Of plans was neces-
STATED by probable complications aris-
ing over the mastering out Of regular
troops and possible delay in the reor-
ganization Of the Illinois National
Guard. Few soldiers would be ready
to take part if the procession had been
made an exclusively military affair.
The decision for q quasi-military pa-
geant has resulted in the formation of

and other Chicago commanderies, the
