DANIELSCUESTAS CUMMINGS DIMES
 CONN. DELEGATES

St. Louis, Mo-. June 14-At ban quet rendered the Connecticut dele gation last night at the Hotel Jeffer- son by Homer S. Cummings, national committeeman from Connecticut there were present all the delegates and al- ternates and guests, and as guests or honor, Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, and Charles R. Crane or Chicago.
 Secretary Daniels in addressing the delegates and guests expressed his pleasure at being present, and in an interesting way recalled the fact that the real father of the American navy was a Connecticut Democrat, Gideon Welles, who temporarily became a republican on the issue of slavery and served with great distinction in the cabinet of President Lincoln.
 It was another democratic secretary of the navy, Bancroft, who was re- sponsib1e for establishing the naval academy at Annapolis, and it is con ceded by naval auth critics that II 1t were not for the ships built under the Cleveland administration the United States could never have successfully prosecuted the war with Spain upon the seas.
 He compared the record of the present administration in the matter of uph olding the navy in men ana in ships, and said that the record when completed would show vastly in favor of the democrats and in view also of what is being provided in the navy bill now before congress the people of the country will be convinced that if the navy is to be put upon. the highest plane of efficiency the demo- cratic party is the only one to do the work.
 He complimented the dem mocrats of Connecticut, upon the steadfastness to foi ie, thing a democrat in North Carolipa, where practically all are democrats and where democrats nearly always win. It is a, much more difficult task to be a democrat in Connecticut, where victories are only won after hand to hand political battles. When the time comes and all Connecticut demo crats are called to their reward above revelations can be truly applied to them. ''For here are they who have come up through tribulations." Other speakers were Charles R. Crane, Homer S. Cummings. and for mer Congressman Reilly and Ken nedy

 American flags were distributed to
 every marcher just before the parade
 started.
 Nearly every band in Washington
 and Baltimore had been pressed into
 service. The United States Marine
 band was placed just ahead of the
 President.
 The parade was under the direction of Lieut.. General $! B. M. Young, hon. orary grand marshal, and M C. Ha- zen, grand marshal. It comprised Il divisions, one of which was designated for negro citizens and organizations. By permission of the navy depart- ment the navy wireless station at Ar ington, Va, had been used to invite all radio operators in Washington and vicinity to participate in the celebra- ton and the responses resulted in a. special section being, set aside for them.
 With most of the marchers paradine 2 Is abreast, the committee in charge of the arrangements estimated that the last continge would pass the | reviewing stand late in the afternoon. After marching in review, the pa- raders were directed to proceed to the open space back of the White EIo71se where temporary stand was erected for the Falg Day exercises under the auspices committee representines the various departments.

JAP STUDENTS TRAIN FOR WAR

Tokto. June 1.-The inauguration of military training among uniVer- sity students as a result of the war has been followed by similar measures in many primary schools of Tokio. The army authorities have approv- ed the idea and have delegated offic- CTS to instruct the boys A certain amount of rudimentary training has been given in Japanese schools since 1886 when it was recommended by Viscount Arinori .Mori, minister of education, who had previously served as minister to Washington. The drill has been conducted by the teachers but under the new idea the training will be in the hands of army orIcers and will be more thorough. The sys- tenn will be extended to all schools in Tokio and other cities. It represents
 one form of greater Japanese "pre- paredness."

 p1oyes of many stores and shops, members of patriotic, philanthropic,
 religious and political organizations, many of the cityss leading business men, cabinet members, judges, school children and members of the Senate and House. There were many floats
 emphasizing preparedness. President Wilson decided to, set a, precedent by
 walking on foot during the entire
 length of the parade.
 Former Presidents Roosevelt and 1 Taft also had been invited but found I it impossible to participate.
 Beginning at the peace monument,
 near the capitol building, the line of march passed the post office and the treasury department buildings and a reviewing stand draped with Ameri- can flags had been erected.> There !, the program provided that the Presi-
 dent should leave the parade and en-
 ter the stand with the members or I the executive committee.
 To control the crowds, including vis- dtors from Philadelphia, Baltimore, sRfchmond and other nearby cities, the 1Washington police force had called for soldiers from Fort Myers and sailors from the navy yard here. No regular military organizations were permitted ito march because Secretary Baker and Secretary Daniels thought it would be Improper for professional soldiers or sailors to participate The national seuard of the District of Columbia, the SfWashington high school cadets and teeveraT other volunteer military bodies knwere assigned to prominent places.
