CHICAGO TURNS OUT
 FOR PREPAREDNESS
Over 15O,000 Men in Windy City's
 Parade Today

Chicago, June 3.-so great was the enthusiasm with which Chicago rose to the spirit of the preparedness dem onstration that two parades were nec- essary, one in the day and one at night
 More than 15O,OOO men and women took part in the parade today, having pledged themselves to do so, rain or shine. The women said that if it rained they would wear their old clothes and would not let their en- thusiasm be quenched by fear of a drenching.
 The day parade formed this morn Ing in Michigan avenue, south of Van Buren street and marched north on Michigan avenue, the entire route be- ing as follows:
 North on Michigan avenue to Ran- dolph street, west on Randolph to franklin, south on Franklin to Wash 1ngton, east on Washington to State, south on State to Madison, west on Madison to Franklin, south on Frank lin to Monroe. east on Monroe to State, south on state to Jackson Boulevard, west on Jackson to a point west of Chicago river where disband- ment will take place late this aft ernoon.
 The men and women that took part came from nearly all trades and pro- fessions. The middle-aged and the gray-headed walked briskly along with strapping youngsters, all inspired by the general enthusiasm, the crash ing sound of drum and horn and the waving of thousand of flags.
 The formation of the marchers con- sisted of the following distributions
 Platoon of police; mounted trum- peters; a group representing the fa- nous picture, 'The Spirit of '76"; Grand Marshal E. c. Young and staff: Chicago court judges; Mayor William H. Thompson, embers of the city council and various city departments; Grand Army of the Republic veterans; Spanish War Veterans and cadets from military training camps. This formed the advance of the parade and then came the main divisions, as fol- lows:
 First division-Commercia and in dustrial interests
 Second division-Bankers insurance men, ra1lroaders, telephone employees civil engineers, brokers, members and employees of the board of trade Third divisiOn-Semi-nili or gan1zatlons, clubs societies, etc.

VALUES SHATTERED
 LOVE AT $l,OOO,ooo
Only Heir to Fortune Of Over
 S5,000,000 Is Defendant

New York. June Civilian Edgar s5,OO0,OOO and more than 54 years old, was sued in the supreme court yesterday for s1, 000,000 for breach of promise to marry. The plaintiff is in the action tell nothing about her, and her lawyers, David B. Simpson, declined to go into details. Neither would MT. Smith or his lawyer. Wins ton H. Hagen, discuss the suit
 MT. Smiths father was William Van Rensselaer, Smith, who died on Nov. 2, 1911. He was a partner of John Arbuckle and made a fortune in the coffee, tea and sugar business. His estate was appraised at $5,S5S,343, practically all of it going to his wi dow, Mrs. Roxy M. Smith, who is now about S2 years old. The defen dant in Miss Doty's suit is the only heir to the fortune.
 The plaintiff says the alleged prom ise to marry was made at the Fort Griswold hotel, New London. Conn, on July Is, 1911. This was only four months before the death of MT. Smiths father and only two days after he was divorced by his wife, who was M. Louise Curtis, a daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Winslow H. Cur tis whom he married in 1906
 The complaint alleges that it was arranged between the plaintiff and defendant that the wedding was to take place on Feb. 6. 1912, and "in

main in Mexico for the present with out provoking hostilities.
 That, however, a prolonged stay might lead to incidents that would force a clash, although the Mexican government would use every means to prevent. it.
 Administration officials give no hint of the action they will take on the Carranza note. President Wilson took a corrected copy of it on board the Mayf1Ower, and presumably will be ready to announce a decision Mon- day.
 General FunstOn's report, which is the most reassuring factor in the sit uation, shows that the greatest cour- tesy is being shown to the American forces in M exico both by military and civilians, direct result of the strin- gent measures taken by General Ire vino. He denies positively the report that Trevino's forces have intrenched and erected barbed wire defences.
 Twenty thousand Carranza troops are operating in Northern Chihuahua. Four thousand are garrisOned at Chi huahua City, and 2,OOO more, mostly infantry, are encamped just south of there Five thousand are marching toward Madera, fifty miles from Nam iquipa, where Pershing has had his base.
 Seeking to Eradicate Bandits.
 Two thousand are en route to Ojini- ga, across the Rio Grande from Pre- sidio Tex, near the scene of the Big Bend raids, and the rest are scattered in small garrisons over the interven- ing country.
 So far as General Funston can learn these troops are seeking to eradicate bandits, and are not being deployed favorably for an attack on the Amer ican column.
 Generals Herrera and Trevino, who l have the principal commands in the | field, are believed to share Carranza's S | desire for peace though it is admitted ] that some hotheads among the Car
 ranza commanders are impatient of | the restraint. Fortunately, none of | the latter has an important command
 near the Pershing expedition | With this understanding of the sit l uation, it has been practically decided | that the gradual retreat of Pershing's | forces will continue and that no re-
 Inducements will be sent. It is be- l lieved here that Pershng now has | few men south of Colonia Dublan
 and that when the concentration at l that point is completed the expedi- :; tion can remain in Mexico for some
 time without provoking hostilities.

Chamberlain to the conception of

millions one in thirty Of the popula-
who, given a free field and no
disfavor, are to dominate Russia, the
tip of the tail wagging the Bear 1t
is a great compliment to the Jews but
it is also a great absurd1ty.
Contemporary politics shows us
numerous examples of races kept
from equal rights with the governing
race on the ground or pretext- of in
tellectual inferiority; that is, for ex-
ample, the justification of the white
mans burden" But | hardly recall
any other example of white people
crushed down by another white peo-
pie on the ground of its admitted
superiority. And from simple geo.
graphical point of view what the rul-
ing majority claims is to bar one of
the greatest and oldest members of
the human family from access to near
ly sixth of the globe. And this in
solent and inhuman claim is enforced
not only against Russia's own Jews,
but against subjects of her Allies like
myself. The utter unreason of this
claim stands out more wildly when
it is recalled that in the larger half of
this prohibited area-in Siberia only
ten millions of people exc out live
lihood, and that a continent half as
large again as the United States has
been left almost in primeval forest.
Is there any reason why the Jews,
instead of being cooped up in stink
ing poverty in the towns of the Pale,
should not be invited to carve out a
province with the ploughshare from
these vast neglected territories?
The Russian Jews are, according
to Mr. Graham himself, "a great peo-
ple," even "a people of genius" Ply
sically they are far finer type than
the Western Jews; spiritually, they
bubble with artistic vitality of every
sort.
And while the majority are sunk
in their native piety and poverty, that
feckless faith which Our sentimental
tramp adores when it is tangled up
with trinities, there is an industrial
and commercial minority which is in
fnitely more valuable to Russia than
her deposits of coal or petroleum.
If Russia proper is an aggregation
of ana1phabetic peasants, all the more
reason why that section of her popu-
lation which possesses an ancient trad
ition of culture should crafty its pas
sion for education.
