The parade will form at the post

streets. at $40 in the evening and
will pass through the principal bus
mess streets. 1t will be a parade OF
pedestrians rather than a parade Of
automobiles such as was held on
Hughes day. one republican stalwart
has already christened 1t the "Hobo's
Parade" but Chairman Murphy
promises that it will be more repre-
sentative than the Golden Special"
There will probably be few auto
mobiles in line to carry women with
babies in arms and elderly ladies too
old to march. One lady so years old
has already signified her desire to
show her loyalty to Wilson,

The parade will probably be in

FOR WAR VICTIMS.
3NTRIBUTIONS MADE FOR
JEWISH
ian is to Collect $40, 600, 900 for Dcs-
titute Hebrews in War Stricken
Lands-Only The First Step.

New York, Dec. 21.-Nearly $780,
600 for h relief Of Jewish war suf-
ferers in Europe was pledged at a
great mass meeting in Carnegie hall
tonight. Jacob H. Schiff of his city
and julius S. Rosenwald of Chicago,
headed the list with 100000 Zach.
A total of $466,S75 was subscribed by
40 persons.
The meeting was the first step in
a campaign undertaken by the Ameri-
can Jewish Central committee and the
Peoples Relief Committee to raise
$4,000, 600 for wal relief measures in
1917. The subscriptions received to-
night came from all parts Of the
country.
Thousands of Jews who had not
been supplied with tickets surrounded
the hall before the doors were opened.
Rich and poor, old and young strug-
gled for admission. Prosperous bust
ness men rubbed shoulders with strug-
Cling immigrants. Women and girls
who had toiled all day in shops and
stores vent innerless that they might
be on hand early.
The floor of the hail and the stage
were filled early by representative
Jews and their sympathizers in the
fund campaign.

of this country as between the two
groups.
With the entente, apart from a lit
tie trouble over Count Tarnowski, it
was pointed out. there has been no
published diplomatic correspondence
for months. This country owes re-
plies on both the blacklist and the
mail seizures. Trade matters have
been very vexing, but have largely
been setteld out Of court without
publicity.
Towards the central powers, how
ever, particularly in the last month,
a decided feeling of tension mas been
evident in the sending o. about a loz-
en- inquiries on submarine sinkings,
followed by publication of the details
and also by the correspondence on
the Belgian d~eportations.
1t became evident that it is on the
sea it is feared this country may be
caught between conflicting belliger-
ent interests. Lloyd-G Georges state
ments that all British ships will be
~nationalized. together with the APP
parently official German decision to
treat such ships as liable to sinking
on sight, has led to the growing con.
victiOn that it will be essential for
the safety Of Americans, both pas
sengers and sailors, to lay down some
flat distinctions as to what are pri-
vate ships and what are naval auXil-
iaries.
President Wilson today received q
telegram from Former Secretary
Bryan congratulating him on his note
to the beligerents. 1t said:
you have rendered an invaluable.
service to a war stricken world in
asking the belligerent nations to set
forth in specific terms the concessions
and which they deem nee
ng peace. 1t would be a reflection
upon the nations at war to doubt that
they know the ends for which they
are fighting or to that they
have any purpose which they are un-
willing to reveal.
"A definite statement by both sides,
ne matter how far these statements
may be apart. will clear the air and
afford IL basis for negotiations and
when negotiations begin they are not
likely to terminate until an agreement
is reached. because neither side will
to assume responsibility for
continuing the unspeakable horrors
of this conflict, if any reasonable terms
can be secured.
Accept cordial congratulations and
my earnest wish for the success OF
The movement which you have had
the honor to in%auguratc."
