100000 Enrolled to March.

The parade started promptly at ,
O'clock Marching sixteen abreast &C
cording to fluctuations by clerks or
ganized for the purpose, 2,032 paraders
passed the reviewing stand in the frSt

this rate it was evident that all of the
2OoO persons who enrolled on the
parade books could not march, even if
the pace set by the vanguard could be
maintained, unless the demonstrations
We're continued far into the night.
Roughly estimated. II would require
nineteen hours for the parade to pass
a given point. If they marched with
out stopping for any purpose 1t would
be 4 o'clock tomorrow morning before
the demonstration was over
Throughout the city homes, business
offices and factories were vivid with
patriotic colors.
Two thousand five hundred police
men were engaged in keeping clear
the line of march and handling the
crowds. The parade itself was man
aged from central telephone Office In
direct connection with 40 substations.
Thus Gen. Z. G. Young, l. n. e., grand
marshal. through Capt. Sheldon, his
aid, was able at all times to maneuver

Weddell sea, the nut which no one yet
has been able to crack.
The Weddell sea already has been
penetrated to IS degrees south lati
tude which is essentially the same
latitude as the known head of the
Ross sea on the other side, and yet its
entire extent Is not known and it is
possible that the real head of the
Weddell sea may be within five or six
degrees of the south pole.
rms suggests that any ship that can
resist the pressure of the ice might
very probably be able to penetrate
further by the Weddell sea route into
the unknown antarctic regions than by
any other route. And the Roosevelt

getting out of the way of such pres
sure when it comes.
Such an expedition should take an
aeroplane equipment. Landing at the
head of the Weddell sea the party
might find themselves within 400 miles
or five hours flight-of the south
pole. And the greater portion of the
antarctic interior offers available land

Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary. U. D

says that the experiences Of ShacKle-
ton in the antarctic prove that there is

Roosevelt, the ship Peary used, SUCH an
expedition could be fitted out for Sloo'-

such an expedition as far as the Falk-
land Islands or Georgia Island. ana
otherwise assist the expedition in every
way possible.
His statement is as follows:

Only One Constructed Here.

The Navy Department has met with
similar experience. One small, low
power. semirigid dirigible has been
constructed for it by private manufac-
turers. and is expected to reach the
aviation station at Pensacola this
month. A hydrogen plant for charging
its gas bag has already been installed
at the station and a floating hangar in
which it will be housed is being towed
to it's destination.
1t was learned today that the build
ers of the airship have frankly con-
fessed to navy officials that they are
working wholly in the dark in build
ing this type of machine. They have
had to pioneer the way from the start,
as no information to German con-
struction has been available, and there
was no other source. officers do not
expect great results from the first Yep
pelin for the navy. 1t will have very
limited cruising radius. it is under
stood, and lack in speed, but 1t will
make a beginning on the task which
must be undertaken in the light of the
North sea fight.

Considered Probable Here.

1t has for some time been regarded
in official circles as probable that Wis
count Chinda would succeed Marquis
Great Britain The change is expected
to take place soon, and in the event
that il is made the newly appointed
Counselor Tamaka, who has just ar
rived in Washington, will act as
charge of the Japanese embassy here
pending the appointment and arrival
of a new ambassador.
The first secretary and acting coun-
selor. Mr.. Matsuoka, will leave Wash
ington June 10. for Japan, on leave of
absence. and it is not certain that he
will return. being in the direct line
of promotion to a higher grade in the
diplomatic service.
Mr. Hanihara, former counselor of
the Japanese embassy here, and more
recently under secretary in the foreign
office. has arrived in San Francisco,
awaiting assignment either to that city
or to New York japanese consul
general
Though thus temporarily removed
from the diplomatic service. Mr.. Hani-
hara has suffered no loss of standing
the important duties of consul general
at either New York San Francisco
making the post one of even greater
dignity than some of the lesser minis
tries.
Marquis Inouye to Retire.
Marquis Inouye is retiring from the
diplomatic service. according to the
understanding here, to look after very
large private interests. Though Wash
ington, automatically considered, in
ordinary times ranks with the highest
of the japanese embassies, the close
alliance between Japan and Great Brit
ain and the war make the British post
the japanese service and the prospec-
tive transfer of Eiscount Chinda is re-
garded a marked promotion, in par
tial recognition of the valua BILE serv-
ices he has rendered his country in
maintaining relations with the United
States during the adjustment of the
delicate questions arising from the APP
plication of the California anti-alien
law and the new immigration bill.

Sort of Ship Needed.


feel very strongly that Sir Ernest's
experience emphasizes contention that
T have held to for some time-that an
expedition into the antarctic from this
side should go in ship of the Roose-
Welt type. The Roosevelt has much
greater endurance and ice-resistins ca
pacity than the Endurance had. and was
especialIv constructed with a view to es-
Gaming ice pressure Her hull slopes IN
from her gunwales so that pressure from
two ice foes simply pushed her unin-
iured out of the water onto the ice. This
was our experience in the north polar ex-
petition.
And this brings up the fact that We
have in this country today IN the Roose-
Welt the one ship most likely to be sue
cessful in a south polar expedition. She
is in first-class condition, now at Norfolk
awaiting an opportunity to go through
the canal and engage in her Alaskan coast
patrol work. Capt. Bartlett is now in
this country. standing in the very front
rank of polar navigators. There is
combination that would enable this coun-
try, almost to a certainty, to solve the
still unsolved problem of the Weddell
sea.
If the government would loan or con-
tribute the Roosevelt, such an expedition
could be fitted out for $4,000. Nearly
all the members of my last north pole

available Surely. with all the money
that has been coming into this country it
ought not to be difficult to obtain money
for the expedition.

ton as far as the Falkland Island, or
Georgia Island. or wherever they

gladly assist in every possible way
in promoting and organizing such an

man.
