To the Editor of the Star
Apropos of John r. Keys protest

what patriotic sentiment could be

ships deck are Key and comrade,
perhaps a British prisoner like him

in his left hand, points with his ex-
tended right. and the other, crouching
beside him, gazes, with intense inter
est in the indicated direction.
No inscription is necessary: the FIVE
words. oh. Say can you see?" are on

and tears in your eyes, Of which you
are unashamed.

meet. with a total of fifteen points.
Rosedale took second division honors.
Most of the credit for bringing second
place to the Force school goes to Eu-

of H. Kleinpeter, Salvatore Amato Eu-

DEFENSE PARADE
CALLED IMMENSE
More Than 10000 March in
Chicago in Presence of
Million Spectators.
IMPRESSES BY ITS BULK
AND ORDERLY MOVEMENT
Millionaires. Clergymen. Bankers
and Working People Touch FL
bows in Great Pageant.

CHICAGO. June 5.-The preparedness
parade here today was said by Maj.
Gen. Thomas Fl. Barry, commander Of
the Central Department. L. S. A.. who
sat in the reviewing stand. to be the
greatest and most inspiring spectacle
he had ever seen.
The demonstration ended tonight
after 1924 persons. one-sixth of
which were women, had filed through
the streets The parade was eleven
and half hours in passing. The night
division was made up largely of mill
tary organizations.
The great parade, in close order,
massed from curb to curb, rolled like
a tide through the streets all day. 1t
was as if the great skyscrapers were
the banks of river and the marching
thousands, each with an American flag,
the current moving between them.
1t impressed by it's bulk and by the
absence to large extent of a hilarity
accompanying most parades. There
were no floats. no comic costumes and
little of the holiday spirit apparent
The airs played by the bands either
were patriotic or military. Patriotic
tied, for few knew the words. They
did better, occasionally with hymns.
Many Of the marchers knew the words
Of Onward, Christian Soldiers"
hymn which seemed to strike the
paraders as appropriate to the occa-
sion. A division of clergymen carried
off the singing honors-they knew the
words of every song they attempted.
including America" and The Star
Spangled Banner"
The precision with which the parade
moved was itself said to be lesson
in preparedness, for 1t was handled by
Capt. Raymond Sheldon of the regular
army. by a system of telephones. The
demonstration started promptly at
am, upon a salute of twenty-one guns,
and promptitude is prime requisite
Of military operations When a gap
opened up between divisions the fact
was reported from one of the 100 sub
stations and upon word from Capt.
Shelton the division leader sounded
whistle. whereupon the unframed pa
triots did their best at double-quick
and closed up the interval.

Official Count at 4 O'Clock.

At o'clock this afternoon the official
count showed that 10S553 persons had
passed the reviewing stand in Grant
Park. About IS per cent of these were
women.
1t was only part of the parade. The
FIRST division finished passing the re-
viewing stands at 1925 pm. and was
followed by the second division. At 4
o'clock the end was not in sight. The
military division, composed of ma
tionaI guardsmen and volunteer regi-
ments which have sprung up in a
fashion since preparedness became
subject of general discussion. was re-
served for the evening feature Of the
demonstration.
The weather left nothing to be de-
sired. A tremendous crowd witnessed
the spectacle AS to its numbers only
the widest guesswork was possible.
Local newspapers dismissed IT with "a
million" but in any event the specta-
tors lined the streets throughout the
three and one-quarter miles of the
route and peopled windows and ball
comics wherever available
Twenty-Five persons were cared for
at emergency hospitals. but none of
the cases was serious.

COFFIN IS GIVEN
ASEvERE RFDUKE
BY JUDGE MORGAN
Request of Young Lawyer
That No Decision Be
Given Until After Elec-
ton Promptly Resented.

Sharp and pointed remarks and ar
guments punctuated the closing ses-
sion before the supreme court of this
state today in the case of the state
of Idaho versus the National Surety
company and T. c. Coffin, intervenor-
the case in which T. c. Coffin, FORMER
assistant attorney general, seeks to Sc
cure from the judgment of the state
against the surety company, fee of
$12,500 for legal services rendered.
Justice William NJ. Morgan took occa-
sion to pointedly inform Mr.. Coffin
that his request that the court with
hold its decision until after the cleo
ton was entirely uncalled for The
inference was plain that had he more
experience tempered with ago he would
not have made the request. Judge
Richards sharply challenged Attorney
General Peterson and the states legal
counsel for refusing to settle with
Coffin in the bond case when it had
paid out fees through the depository
board to other counsel employed.
In fact it was apparent there was not
the closest harmony over the Coffin
claim as between the intervenor and
former assistant attorney general and
lHe attorney general VINO appeared IN
person in the case. Coffin claims he is
entitled to the fee for services rendered
the state in a legal capacity in bring
ing the suit on behalf of the state
against the surety company and gath
ering the evidence on which the judg-
ment was secured.
Coffin stated as the case was being
submitted that he hoped, owing to the
fact politics and political issues are in
the air, the court would reserve the
decision it would make until after the
election. Justice Morgan quickly cut
in to answer that so far as he was con-
cerned politics had no bearing on the
case and that the court would decide t
when and how it desired. He closed by
strongly limiting that had the former as
s1stant attorney general more eXper-
fence he would not have made such II
request or limited at one to the court.
