MANY PASTORS PRAISE
PREPAREDNESS PARADE
Bouck White Only Preacher in
Civ to Protest.

The preparedness parade was the
theme Of sermons in many churches
yesterday. The Rev. s. Edward Young,
in the Bedford Presbyterian Church,
Brooklyn. said the march foreglimpsed
the possibilities of the nation attacked
by land and sea and the forestalling OF
defeat BY mighty resolution TO be
ready.
Congress and our polyglot popula-
ton needed this prodigious appeal, un-
derstandable by everybody" he said.
at was less a holiday and more a con
secration than any pageant witnessed
in our time"
Speaking on Preparedness for Pre-
paredness," the Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant, of the Church of the Ascen-
sion. paid a tribute 10 the splendid
showing, and said behind the kind OF
preparedness represented in the lines
was the necessity for social. industrial
preparedness.
The Rev. DR.. Claudius NJ. Roome. OF

Of the 18th Regiment in st. Thomas's,

citing the parade as an evidence OF
the widespread sentiment for both.
In his sermon on christianity and
the Present Crisis" at the Universal
ist Church OF the Divine Paternity the
Rev. Frank Oliver Hall declared that,
in his opinion, Jesus would not be
against preparedness.
Bouck White. Of the Church Of the
Social Revolution, had this to say OF
Henry G. Babcock, his follower. who
was arrested during the parade for his
militant protest against preparedness
expressed by attempting to break into
the line with a banner:
yesterday saw wave of hysteria
and lust for warfare's bloody work
rolling Though the streets and avenues
of this centre of Christendom: The
Prince Of Peace was crucifed by the
orgy of bayonets and the banners or
gunnery that prostituted the map OF
Manhattan to its evil ends. In all this

The attitude Of Lstin-Ameriea
toward the present Mexican situation

of President Wilson's making, and ne

Government officials arc at loss to
trace the origin of the contrary report

question Of Intervention. SO Tar as ~

DANIELS CALLS PARADE
INDEPENDENCE SHOW
Saws March Was "Great Nov
ing Petition"

Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the
Navy, addressed the congregations OF
two New York churches last evening.
At Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
he spoke on preparedness, and at the
Metropolitan Temple he told some Of
the changes in the policy of the navy
that had been made during his regime.
"As We look about us and see what
is going on in the world VIC realize that
we must organize larger army,
larger navy and must mobilize the in
dustries Of the nation" he said at Grace
Church. "We must make America one
in feeling. praying. hoping always for
peace. but we must be ready to pro-
tect the heritage that has been handed
down TO us. The parade yesterday was
a great moving petition far more ex-
pressivc than one signed by many times
the number of marchers would have
been. IL showed that the American
people love independence, and there is
nothing they would not sacrifice to
maintain II.
"My daily prayer is that at the close
of the war the United States may be
able to find way TO end war through
out the world. ] hope TO see great
international conference which shall
endeavor TO find way TO settle dis
putes without recourse TO tn. sword.
America must hasten her preparation
so she may sit at this conference"
At the Metropolitan Temple Secretary
Daniels said: "Let our slogan be Mill
ions for defence, but not one cent Tor
militarism.' The navy must be IN
creased regularly, Systematically and
rapidly At present there are sixty
one ships building. Soon we Will nave
more. In few years the United States
navy will be one to be proud oil not
only in excellence, but in size"

4-MASTER JUST
DRIFTED HOMIE
Weather Too Calm, She
Used Up 9S Days Coming
from BuenOs AyreS.

With every rope of her fore and aft
rigging as shipshspe as If she had just
foated out of a drydock, the schooner
Alice May Davenport put in yesterday.
Ninety-eight days out Of Buenos Ayres
she was, and every man jack aboard
was cursing the fair weather that
dragged out the voyage to twice its
normal length.
Nor were the men particularly
cheered when they saw the three-mast-
ed schooner Isabel p. Wiley floating
jauntily at anchorage, for the Daven-
port is a four-master, and the smaller
shin beat them in with a whole months
handicap. She left Buenos Ayres on
March . and the Davenport on Febru-
airy 5.
L. S. Wiley, the skipper, was much
disguised man when he told how he
suffered more from fair weather than
from any gale ever weathered. BY a
curious coincidence the schooner that
beat him IN and caught up on months
start 10 boot is named for his wife.
The shippers talk was punctuated by
the screeches from a bright green par
rot and the jabbering of his pet mar
moset.
Had TO get them things for com
pany." the skipper observed. 81 thought
learned what Gains was going down.
In twenty days we didn't make more
than 100 knots. | swore then that I'd
have to get something to talk TO.
"Well, IL was lucky did. Why, man,
for five days coming back we wallowed
around in the same doggoned spot.
The sails just hung there and tie
weather was so blamed fair we like TO
have Jumped overheard, we were that
mad. You could go out on deck any
day. right out TO windward, and light
your pipe as easy as not, and you
didn't have TO be no Irishman TO do It.
ION the way up put in at San Juan
for provisions. We were stocked up all
right when we left Buenos Ayres, but
there wasn't no way of tellin' when
we'd ever drift into New York.
This fool bird here kept talking
through il all. She like to have jab-
bered her fool head off, and never
knew she was sayin' anything until
set her out on deck one day. When
came back one of the crew was jsb-
berlin back at her. ] thought the man
was off with the heat. but ne ups and
tells me the bird and he was talkin'

pete here's good company, too" said
the skipper fondly as he reached for
the long-tailed squirrellike animal that
sat gravely listening from a shelf. A
second later Pete was picking himself
up from under the table. He had al
most bitten the shippers thumb of.

CLOSE FIGHT SEEN
IN PENN. PRIMARY
Penrose and Brumbaugh
Likely to Split Even
on Delegates.
Try Telegraph 10 Tns Tribune J

Philadelphia, May IA survey OF
sentiment in Pennsylvania indicates
that Tuesdays battle OF ballots in the
Republican party will be to a finish.
The indications tonight are that in
Philadelphia the Vare-Brumbaugh fac
ton, with Mayor Smith and city Job
holders doing their utmost TO defeat
Senator Penrose for control OF the
state organization, will divide honors
in the fight for district delegates.
The Penrose ticket for delegates-at-
large seems 10 be safe, with the possi-
BILE exception of Governor Brumbaugh,
who is also a candidate. Many Phila-
delphia politicians predict, however,
that the recent exposures aimed at the
Governor will result in a reputation
of him at the polls. REPORTS from the
interior Of the state tonight serve to
justify this prediction.
The factional fight IN Philadelphia
extends to every job holder under the
city administration and. under threat
Of certain dismissal if results favor
able to the Vare-B rumbaugh faction
are not produced, they are working like
beavers. On the other side. the liquor
interests are working for a Penrose
victory with every influence az their
command. Predictions tonight are
that in Philadelphia the battle Will
be almost a draw.
Senator Penrose has said that in the
event Of his heading the delegation at
Chicago, If Pennsylvania offers a name
in nomination for President 1t VIII be
that OF Philander c. Knox.
Pittsburgh dispatches tonight say
that Governor Brumbaugh has been
eliminated as factor in the fight there,
his name not even appearing on the
half million Flnn-fnanced Roosevelt
mailing cards sent out TO voters by
Henry G. WATSON, Republican national
committeeman.
Finn saw that Brumbaugh, discredit-
ed, was an absolute failure as vote
getter, and essayed quick switch 10
Roosevelt TO save the Brumbaugh-Bull
Moose ticket. The result has been only
confusion. Brumbaugh's few friends
there are threatening reprisals and the
dyed-in -the7wool Roosevelt followers
refuse to be hoodwinked.
Harrisburg reports little interest
shown in Dauphin County in the CAM
paign Of Governor Brumbaugh as a
Presidential candidate. and the fact
that the Ware Brumbaugh faction Of
the Republican party has no Congress
sional district candidates for national
delegates here will result in a large
vote for the Penrose ticket.

Irish-Americans Assail
Wilson and England

Rochester, May 14.-Four hundred
members Of Robert Emmett Branch,
Friends OF Irish Liberty, met this af
ternoon and denounced President Will
son for telling Germany how to con-
duet its warfare. They also denounced
the execution Of Sim Feiners at Dub
lin as deliberate murder, for which re-
prisals must be made.
One speaker. Patrick j. Rowan, said:
ave are Irish-Americans, but Ameri-
cans first and last. We all love the
land of our fathers and inherit the
duty of giving all we have to help free
her from the yoke of tyranny. Be

WAR CRAFT OFF CAPE MAY
Allies Sentinels Have Caused Several
Ships to Defer Sailing.

Cape May, n. j., May 14-Foreign
cruisers, which for four days have been
lowering just beyond the three-mile
limit, have made life miserable for the
captains Of several ships in Delaware
Bay that evidently have deferred their
time of sailing because Of them.
One boat has proved to be the French
cruiser Descartes. Another is believed
to be British craft. It is said that
they are waiting for several cargoes OF
contrabsnd being loaded at Philadel-
phia. The theory is that the cargoes
are intended for German destinations
through neutral countries.
The presence of the two sentinels,
along with the constant booming of
guns at the testing fields in Delaware
Bay. has succeeded in keeping the
minds Of residents concentrated on the
war.
