Reaches Into Other Fields.

The preparedness sentiment. Secretary
Baker said, which is now sweeping the
land and sending both men and women
to military and naval training camps is
reaching into other fields. and the con-
cured as readily as those of the army
and navy. He predicted that Congress,
now busy with the reorganization of the
military feature of national defense, soon
would be preparing for the coordination
of the industrial and other resources of
the land. so that in case of war should
it ever come, we shall have not only
the enlistment of men and the mobiliza-
ton of arms, but a preconceived program
to enable a speedy mobilization of our
industrial and financial resources"
War Neither Good Nor Necessary.
Mr.. Baker said there was cause for
profound satisfaction in the fact that,
garding the attitude the administration
should take on international questions
as affected by the European war,
there has never appeared evidence
that this country accepts the philoso-
ply that war is a good or necessary
thing

URGES MAKING HEALTH
INSURANCE COMPULSORY
One of Proposals in Campaign for
the Combating of
tuberculosis.

Prediction of the early adoption in the
United States of compulsory health in
sllrance similar to that in effect in Eu-
ropean countries came from John B. An
drews. secretary of the American Asso-
citation for Labor Legislation. in his ad-
dress delivered yesterday afternoon be-
fore the sociological section of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, which organiza-
ton has now concluded it's twelfth an
nual meeting.
At the same session. which met stimuli
taneously with the clinical and patno-
logical sections of the big congress, DR..
Charles j. Hatfield of this city urged that
Industrial towns and cities be persuaded
to organize working men and women IN
the campaign against the white plague
and DR. Harry E. Mock of Chicago ad-
vocated the medical examination OF en-
ployes as insurance for corporations that
employ large numbers of men and women.
Hospital Doors Closed.
An exaggerated fear of tuberculosis
has caused the closing of doors of hos
pitals to tubercular patients. DR.. George
Dock of ST. Louis told the clinical section.
General hospitals, he said, should take
these cases under proper conditions to
educate physicians in treatment, OF tu-
berculosis and because of the better
treatment patients would receive.
Diagnosis of tuberculosis by x-rays
has been universally successful in the
opinion of those who discussed it at the
same section. although its value depends
largely on its use in connection with
other means of diagnosis.
Secretaries at a Banquet.
A feature of the banquet last night at
the Ebbitt of the National Conference of
tuberculosis Secretaries. who held their
fourth annual meeting in connection with
that of the national association, was a
keg containing the names of the various
diners. together with proposed subjects
for brief discussion. President Seymour
II. Stone drew the names and the topics
by lot, playing no favorites.

145,0OO MARCHERS
FORPREPAREDNESS
New York's Great Procession
to Be Eleven Hours
in Passing.
10000 WOMEN HELPING
TO MAKE UP LONG LINE
Crowd of Spectators Lining Route
Estimated to Number Fully
Million.

NEW YORK, May 13-New York's be-
lief that the nation should prepare for
war was expressed today by nearly 49,,
900 men and women marching in one of
the greatest professions ever assembled
for the promotion of an idea.
Twenty abreast. filing the streets
,, from curb to curb, keeping in step to
the patriotic tunes OF 200 bands, the
parade that began this morning will
last for twelve hours or longer.
Many business houses closed while
the city gives itself up to its celebra
ton of Preparedness day. The side
walks from the Battery to 59th street,
the start and finish of the parade, are
crowded 1t is estimated that at least
100000 persons saw the demonstra-
ton.
10000 Women Marching.
Twenty thousand women are in the
pageant. Workers in 200 occupations
lawyers and other professional men,
city officials and city employees, and TO-
900 members of the National Guard in
uniform, and thousands of veterans of
the Spanish war compose the long col
umn. The lawyers are led by twenty
justices of the supreme court. The
marchers We're divided into siXty-four
divisions The hour set for the start
was $3.50 am, and it is expected that
the last division will not reach the dis
banding point until 1890 O'Clock to-
night.
Demands for a place in the parade SO
greatly exceeded the time and space
that the promoters were compelled to
reject $4,000 applications. Beginning
at the Battery al the southern tip of
Manhattan Island the divisions fell in
line at intervals all the way up lower
Broadway, Center and Lafayette streets
and 5th avenue, nearly to the review
ing stand erected in Madison square.
Thousands in Reviewing Stand.
There. from a stand containing
thousands of spectators, Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood Rear Admiral Nathaniel
f. Usher, commandant of the New
York navy yard, and Mayor Mitchell re-
viewed the parade.
The main body of the marching thou
sands is composed of employees in
shops and stores. In addition divisions
are composed of representatives of
theater and allied arts, engineers,
architects. clergymen, business men.
bankers and brokers, physicians and
surgeons and public schools.
In the womens section are teachers,
stenographers, art students, girls from
the department stores, the American
Woman's League for Self-Defense and
the Woman's Preparedness Battalion
and representatives of various trade
organizations.
Anti-preparedness bodies. such as the
Womans Peace Party and the socialists
endeavored to offset the preparedness
spirit by circulation among the specta-
tors of circulars. Across 5th avenue
from the reviewing stand the Woman's
party hung out banner with the in
scription: There are only 100000 of

Want Immediate Action.

The sentiment generally among rep
resentatives was in favor of immediate
action. Republican members appeared
to be willing to have the vote today,
while administration men held that "a
postponement would be an indirect slap

The house had anticipated voting on
the "show down" desired by Wilson

Washington, March A.. house will try its hand
Tuesday at saying whether congress shall mix into
diplomatic affairs.
After day of perplexity the significance of the
senate vote on the Gore resolution to Americans off
armed ships and threatened division among their
ranks in the house. administration leaders announced
that the matter of voting the McLemore resolution
similar to Gores-wil be deferred to Tuesday
Differences of opinion in the house rules committee
which must pave the way for consideration of the Nc
Lemore measure by reporting special rule, were mainly
responsible for delaying action which had been slated for
today.
Those favoring immediate action harried the commit
tee to report rule this afternoon declaring that the SEN
ates confusion of issues yesterday ought to be counter
acted at once by the house.
Political arguments, however, finally appeaSed such
persons.
President Wilson's friends were reported to be seek
ing republican votes on tabng the McLemore resolution
and they argued that few republicans were in favor OF
strict gag rule" necessary to bring up the measure.
1t was reported that the house. with Wilson's approval
might vote strictly on the merits of the McLemore reo
tion instead of merely whether not it should be
tabled as recommended by the foreign committee
Advocates of immediate action urged this on the
ground that the senate had tabled substitute proposal
without realizing its provisions and that the house must
clear up the muddle.
In the senate discussion of the armed ship issue burst
forth for time today.
