HUNDRED THOUSAND
In Big WET PARADE
Mayor Thompson Declines to Review
Marohers Protesting Against
Sunday Closing.
TWO HOURS PASSING THE STAND

CHICAGO, Nov. S.--More than
10000 persons paraded through the
streets of Chicago to express their
displeasure at the recent order of
Mayor Thompson, enforcing the
state law, keeping the saloons here
closed Sunday. Some estimates of
the number OF marchers ran as high
as 10000.
The parade. which was under the
direction of the United Societies for
Local Self Government, was held
with police approval and police par
ticipation. II was at first asserted
that II 1t was to be a demonstration
of disapproval of the enforcement OF
the law. no police guard would be
sent or permit issued. When 1t was
announced, however, that the parade
was to be an expression in favor of
home rule, the permit was granted.
Although most Of the participants In
the parade we're on foot. there were
thousands OF automobiles and wagons
decorated with the United States flag
and shield of the United societies with its
motto, Home rule and personal liberty
for Chicago"
The marchers came along ten abreast.
parallelllng first a double column of au-
tomoblles and horse vehicles. passing a
reviewing stand in Grant park facing
Michigan avenue. Mayor Thompson de-
clined an invitation to review the march,
ers, but the stand was crowded with Of
ficers of the United societies and their
guests. More than two hours was re-
uuired for the pedestrians to pass the
stand.
The marchers were grouped by races
and many wore the brilliant costumes OF
their native lands. Aiongdde were au-
tomoblles and wagons bearing the women
OF the same races. In the gaily colored
gowns OF their home lands. Besides flags
of the United States and banners and
emblems Of their societies. the walkers
carried banners expressing their political
and economic sentiments.
I'VE are the taxpayers" read huge
sign. which bore reference to public
charge made after the recent dry parade
that It's participants had been chiefly chill
dren and in only a few instances tax
payers or voters.

creation. was another banner. Still
others wore:
at Is less difficult to surrender our
liberty than to acquire it,
'If all the foo. laws were enforced,
moro than half the people would be in

Morality Is not created by laws. The
Sabbath was made for man; not man

''Tho remedy-the referendum"
Virtue comes not from tho penal
code"
Anti-saloon people. who conceded that
the demonstration had brought out an
unusual crowd. attributed II to the closed
saloons, declaring Il was the first time
such a demonstration had ever been un-
dertaken without the competition OF the
saloons attraction. The United societies
said that l0l, 40 persons took part. OF

An agreement to enter the war on

Despite the developments OF the
past "a hours, German diplomacy
and German press propaganda still
appear to have the upper hand In
the dilcmatic struggle being waged
here. though the outlook Is brighter
from the standpoint Of the allies.
The effect OF the fall OF Warsaw
and the continued retreat Of tho Rus

effective has been the publication OF
German communiQues telling OF
great German victories that few
Bulgarians believe in anything but
ultimate victory for the Austro-Ger-

up her press campaign vigorously In
q diplomatic way.
Unwittingly the United States Is
