United States Ambassador James &C.

as saying: &

freedom of action now to deal with the
immense world problem which will de-
termine the future attitude Of nearly
all the countries Of the globe.
at is useless to discuss at this mo-
ment the question as to whether Pres

able at present. In this instance facts
alone must speak, and one of the most
important fact is that the neutrals are
probably as much interested in bring

erents. America urgently needs
peace, and for this reason alone the
American government is under an OBJ
legation to its citizens to do and sup
port everything that serves the cause
of peace. A fact of chief Importance
is that my government is really will

of peace.
II am very optimistic regarding the
progress already made of the idea that
the war should be ended, even among
belligerent nations. The wise and mod.
crate words of the German chancellor
regarding Germany's readiness to
make peace had probably their strong.

the impression that Germany will take

that my government will leave nothing

TO MARCH FoR PRE-
PAREDNESs


Memphis, May 2e.-The biggest pa
rade the South has ever seer viii be
held in Memphis Saturday afternoon.
June Srd, when approximately 10000 |
people will march IN the first big |
Preparedness Parade to be inaugurat-
ed south Of the Mason and Dixon line.
To the crash of dozen bands play
ing stirring and patriotic ans and the
shrill call of the bugles, Americanism
and patriotism Of the southland win
be awakened and manifested in solid
line Of marching patriots, which it is
estimated viii be five miles long.
This column, with sixteen marching
abreast, will be a veritabls sunburst
of red, white and blue. for each march
ing patriot viii carry an American
flag. In order to supply these flags,
the committee in charge Of arrange
ments has placed an order for $4,000
flags.
The success and magnitude of this
first potent expression Of love for
country is due TO the efforts of the
Memphis Business Mems Club, which
inaugarated the movement and then
pushed it to success. Through their
efforts parade day in Memphis will be
a half-holiday. Every mill, store and
business house in the city viii be clos
ed by one o'clock that day. In fact,
nearly every person in Memphis has
already pledged himself or herself to
make the parade success.
The mayor has issued a proclama-
ton calling on the citizens to partic-
ipate and declaring June 3rd half
/ holiday.
The. Confederate Veterans and the
Grand Army of the Republic will lead
the parade, followed by the Memphis
companies Of the National Guard 500
strong. The next division will consist
of Spanish War Veterans and several
hundred ex-members Of the army, ma
Ivy and National Guard.
Besides the Memphis Guard eompa-
tnies, Invitations are extended to the
military companies of the other Ten
nessee towns as well as the entire
National Guard of the states Of Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas. Following the
military viii come several hundred
Boy Scouts, and the thousands Of 9TH
er marchers, representing every social
business and labor organization in the
city.
| Altogether more than rs different
organizations have asked for positions
in the line. These do not include doz-
ems of applications and inquiries from
| out-of-town marching clubs which
have also been invited.
4 AS the big parade is one for pre-
paredness and patriotism only, it will
be absolutely non-political, non-relig-
ious and partisan, the only re-
quirement is that the marchers be fol

At rousing meeting of the genera
committee on Friday night, invita-.

of Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama
