DANCING LEADING
 AS MOST POPULAR
 PASTIME IN SCHOOLS

CHICAGO, Nov. 1-Despite the conservatives who viewed with alarm the introduction of dancing in the social centers and later in the public schools here, dancing has jus tifed itself as the most popular of any entertainment offered. Records made public by the school board show that dancing is far in the lead of gymnastics, dramatics, debates or musicales.
 Last year the attendance at danc- ing classes in the public schools was .115,O44. The gymnasium classes were second with a total attendance of 69,449. The schools that did not have dancing had the smallest so- cial centers in town.
 After dancing and athletics, games follow with an attendance of 54,SO3. Singing is next with 41,27S, reading rooms, libraries and study clubs drew 26,274 and the rest of the 435,445 recorded at the social centers during the year divide their interest among dramatic stud ies and miscellaneous amusements.

France Acknowledges the Great Relief Given by Americans in More
 Than One Way

NEW YORK Nov. 1-"All Franco agrees that the war cannot end before next summer ] believe 1t will cease during the winter of 1917-1S. but not until the Allies can demand the complete restora- ton of Alsace-Lorraine, and make a repetition of this horrible catas- trophe impossible" says A. Piatt Andrew, former assistant secretary of the Treasury just returned from France where he was in command of the American ambulance field service.
 He says "In the last four months wholly new atmosphere has per yaded the western front. Since the French have held Verdun intact and have begun successful offensive along almost the entire front. a new spirit of confidence has been born which cannot know defeat. True. the gains from day to day seem small yet every yard gained is a victor yin itself on that closely contested line.
 And every week since the offen- siye began the army is where 1t was planned to be at the exporation of those seven days. Our service has transported over 100000 wounded from the battlefield to relief hos pitals in 25O automobiles.
 France is grateful to America for the many relief fuhds, for the great aid individual citizens have rendered in various ways, for the 10000 Americans serving with the Allied troops-but for American | ideals and for American diplomacy l as represented by Wilson, they have little love-"

Army of q Million.

Washington. April 19.-An army re-
organization bill that would produce
an Amy at war strength aggregating
y million men was passed by the Sen
ate last night by record vote, It is
a substitute to the Hay bill, passed by
the House, and differences will be
worked out in conference.
On the eve Of a joint session Ct
Congress to hear the message of the
president on joint international issues,
The Senate's passage Of the bill was
Iervaded by excitement and all
amendments intended for reduction of
the army were utterly rejected. The
Senate made provision for regular
standing army with a peace strength
of 100000 men, compared to 100000
in the Hay bill, maintained after a
close fight plan for federal vol
Unteer reserve force to aggregate
$4,000 men and to federalize the ma
Cional guard forces at an estimated
strength of 100000 men.
In addition to this combined regular
and reserve force of 100000 men, an
amendment was passed creating a
school and college reserve corps in
time of war which would recruit a
force of trained young men who would
be trained by officers of the regular
army, the estimated strength of which
is anywhere from 100000 to 100000.

Make Immediate Demands
On Germany

Washington April 19.-'The galleries were crowded
with brilliant audience and thousands Josted one an
other for standing space. The capitol was heavily
guarded
When the president entered the floor the House was
hushed He began speaking at p. m. and SAID IN part:
"a situation has arisen in the foreign relations OF the
country Of which is my plain duty to inform you very
frankly"
He pointed out the repeated violations of nernatlon-
al law since Germany first declared the submarine zone
In February, 1915, then concluded:
"Therefore I have deemed it my duty to declare to
the imperial government that If it still is its purpose to
prosecute relentless and indscrminate submarine war
fare notwithstanding the demonstrated imposslbty OF
conducting submarine work n accordance with what
the government Of the United States must con-
slider are the recognized dictates Of humanity the United
States will be at last forced the conclusion that there
is but course pursue, and unless the imperial gov
ernment now Immediately declares and puts into effect
the abandonment of present methods of warfare on pas
seneers and feigher this government has no choice b
to sever diplomatic relations with the government OF tbs
German Empire altogether. The decision is reached with
the keenest regret but cannot forget that we are III
some sort and by the force of circumstances the espon
sbe spokesman for the rights OF humanity and IN sense
we have duty as representative Of the rights OF ne-
trails the world over.'

This is Of those events in the nations history
where the great crisis is felt by all classes for
the oberaon of party lines and the support of the chief
executive in caring for the interests of the nation
The common belief here is that Germany is deliber-
atey forcing this country into the great conflict that that
country may have free hand in the destruction of COM
merce and any question of this country presenting unit
ed front on the issue has been dssipated
There is entire absence of the hatred which ord-
nay the basis of war; but instead Of that there is
calm determination to proceed to the end of protecting
the rights of Americans wherever that policy may lead
There is little hope either that Germany will acqu-
to the utimatum which President Wilson has
that the affair will end in quiet ending Of diplomatic
ations Rather it is believed that Germany will make
this for the which is believed she has sought
and that the campaign of destruction will go
reentessly than heretofore.
What the attitude of other neutrals will be remains
to be seen but there great expectation that they will
dorse the policy of this country and that if comes
