thousand of whom live in Chicago, are
preparing for national celebration
tomorrow. The fifteenth of March is
a memorable day in the hearts of all

ed under the leadership of the great
Kossuth and which transformed Hun
gary into modern parliamentary
state. This was revolution accom-

shedding of blood, although when the
king afterward refused to fulfill his
promises to the revolutionists. not
long after the memorable 18th OF
March, bitter struggle broke out and
still lives in history as the great revo
luton of 1s4S, and which undoubtedly
would have resulted in tho complete
independence of Hungary had not Rus
