SILENT PARADE PLANNED
No Bands or Banners for
March of Unemployed.

A special committee of East Side
trade unions was appointed yesterday
TO confer with leaders of other unions
and officers and delegates of the Cen
trail Federated Union, with a view TO
organizing a silent parade" of unem-
ployed members of all unions. IL is
proposed that there will be neither
bands nor banners in the parade, and
it is held that by its silence it would
be more impressive than the customary
sort Of parade, and more likely 20
arouse public sympathy.
The route and destination of the
paraders are TO be arranged as soon
as the cooperation sought for Is Sc

ON TO WARSAW.

On to Warsaw cry the victorious
forces of the Teutonic allies and the
eyes Of the world trun from Przemysl
and Lemberg TO the historic city so
closely associated with the interesting
and somber history of Poland An
other university city, it joins the ranks
with Louvain and Lemberg as educa-
tlonal centers which become mael-
stroms of human blood.
About equal in population to the
city Of St. Louis, Warsow has long
been a Picturesque mecca for sight
seers. and in peace times, picture of
animation and life in Kaleidoscope
review. The castle is an imposing
building and contains many pictures
and sculptures. But the real at
traction of the city is the univer-
sity, with its fine botanical garden
and its noted astrono mical abserva-
tory. If the Warsaw university falls
a prey to the ravages of Mars as
Louvain fell, it will be a crushing
blow to the cause of education in
Europe and another milestone in the
retreat of civilization.
The march to Warsaw may not be
rs easy as the victorious .Teutonic al
lies, flushed with their recent tri-
umphs, fondly imagine, but the Rus
sian army has furnished some Of the
greatest surprises of the present war.
Its recuperative power is greater than
that of any other army and had it
not been for the shortage of ammu-
milton the czar's forces would un-
doubtedly have made more stub
born resistance of Lemberg and the
territory they won at such great cost
and gave up apparently easily. But

dealing instruments with which the
Wholesale murder Of war is carried on

force for a great triel Of strength
along those stratsgical and tactical
lines which, under the present naval
conditions in the North sea alone can
offer her any chance of victory.
The proposed scheme Of German
naval operations prior to the war was
to reduce the British battleship
strength by ceaseless destroyer and
submarine attacks, and when this pro-
cess of attrition had reached the
desired point to issue forth for a line
of battle engagement. So far as the
German destroyers are concerned, the
results have been practically nil; the
submarine, on the other hand, is the
early stages of the war and before
the British had learned by experience
how to meet this form Of attack,
scored several very notable victories.
For several months, however, in the
North sea and around the British
Islands, submarine activity against the
fighting fleet has produced no record
ed results. Failing against their
legitimate prey, the German SUBJ
mareinss .truned savagely upon the
unarmed merchantmen of the enemy.
We offer it as plausible, is not
probable theory, that the German tao
tics, when the great sea fight comes
off, we're foreshadowed in the opera
tons of the German battle cruiser
fleet few months ago in the North
sea. We believe that the raiding of
undefended towns on the coast Of
England was not so much an exhibi-
ton Of what has been termed Ger
man "frightfulness" at is was the pre-
liminary stage Of q German strategy
which was designed to draw the
British fleet into action and lead
it in a stern chase into waters where
flotillas Of German submarines await

THE TOLL OF HUMAN LIVES.

Take the entire population of Iowa

kill every man, woman and child from
Lee county on the southeast to Lyen
county on the northwest to Allamakee
county on the northeast, letting not
single ane escape-young, old, in
firm, able-bodied or whatever condi~
tion, occupation or location--and the
toll of human lives since the first Of
last August would have been dupli-
Gated. The dispatches place the num-
ber OF soldiers killed at 2,246.O00:
the last federal census gave Iowa a
population of 2,240, TIL. Such has
been the devastation wrought on the
once fair fields of civilized, Chris

the completion Of twenty-five years
operation of the present judicial sys-

ly became a court of sub-supreme
courts to relieve the highest tribunal
of the great pressure of cases which
were congesting its dockets and con-
tributing to the laws delay. At the
opening of the new system the su-
preme court was three years behind
in its work. Today the supreme

work. During the court year just
ended, 528 cases were filed and 529
were disposed of and the docket now
contains 535, the smallest number
