COCHRAN MAKES SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR
THAT PREPAREDNESS PARADE

MA ENET AENE
BYN. D. COCHRAN
Many large employers Of labor in
Chicago are taking a~great interest
in the preparedness parade. The
manufacturers are interested. The
papers tell US that a great American
flag now flies from the roof Of the
Chicago Telephone Co.'S building,
and that Commonwealth Edison has
converted a big electric sign into a
huge American flag. There are other
indications of flag patriotism by our
captains of industry and large eX-
ploiters of labor.
They want a big standing army,
one of the biggest navies in the
world, and there's a vigorous cam
paign on for universal military
training.
Of course the clerks, mechanics,
laboring men, farmers and the sons
of the working and middle classes
will have to man the battleships and
fill out the ranks of the army For
the battleships cans sail without
sailors and an army is no good with
out pTivates-
And the enlisted men must be
healthy. They must have good teeth,
good lungs and a strong enough body
to stand the wear and tear of army
life.
One big. reason for England's I'M
preparedness at the beginning of the
big war was the physical unfitness Of
so many of her men who otherwise
were available for the army. Thou
sands upon thousands Of them, and
their fathers before them, had been
so thoroughly exploited that they
couldn't come up to the physical test. |
So. if we are going in for prepared
ness now's the time to find out about
the physical fitness of our soldiers

! No Word Received.

No word yet has come from Ambas-

officialdom feels toward the American
communication. 1t is not the inten-
tion of the state department to press
for an answer before the end of the
week, Secretary Lansing holding that
three to five days is reasonable time
within which reply can be expected.
If, however, it is not forthcoming by
that time. Ambassador Gerard will be
directed to press for it.
1t is known that Ambassador Won
Bernstorff has sent very lengthy COM
munication to his government, empha-
sizing the seriousness of the situation.
He has explained. 1t is understood.
that unless Germany announces that
1t has abandoned its general submarine
campaign against merchant vessels,
there can be no further discussion of
the situation. If such announcement
is forthcoming then the United States
will willingly discuss the general meth
DDS of submarine operations and assist
in framing rules which would bring
future campaigns within the pale Of
international law.

cept President Wilson's terms. Diplo-

resulting in a situation which may
easily develop into war if Germany
perpetrates fresh atrocities of which
