I'VE believe that this is the logical
time for the citizens Of the National Cap
ital TO speak for preparedness. Other
large cities have held preparedness pa
rades. and certainly there is no date more
fitting than Flag Day for such a dem
onstration in Washington.
we want the citizens OF Washing
ton to realize that this is every mans
and every woman's responsibility 1t
will be an opportunity for our people
to demonstrate their well-known pa
triotism in an outward manner. and
we trust that citizens generally will
be prompt in organizing units to
march in the great parade.
The heads OF organizations Of ev-
cry class are urged to call special
committee at its Offices. Eleventh
street and Pennsylvania avenue

will have to parade and any distinc-
tive characteristics that will sur
round their participation. A place
will be assigned in the line of march
and the time and place for assem-
bling appointed"
Flag Day Exercises.
No less imposing than the parade
will be the Flag Day exercises on
the Monument Grounds. As the enor-
nous army OF patriotic Washington
ians sweep across the Ellipse from
the reviewing stand. which proba bly,
will be in the rear of the Treasury,
Secretary of State Lansing will open
the Flag Day exercises.
With pomp and ceremony, members
Of the District National Guard then
will raise the Stars and Stripes on

100000 Americans below bow their
heads in reverence.
As the national emblem unfurls
itself at the top OF the stately shaft.

ment on the telephone to tell them his
enemies were poisoning his mail to kill
him and his family.
Later he is said to have come so strong
ly to believe he was being prosecuted by
unknown enemies that his neighbors in
sisted upon having him examined. He
was arrested and taken to the Sheppard
Enoch Pratt Hospital In Baltimore,
where. after an examination. he was pro-
nounCed inCurable. About six or eight
weeks ago he was committed to the
Springfield Asylum.
In answer to questions Friday night.

these answers, they made the excuse that
they had been playing with other chill
