STRAW HAT PARADE
BARRED BY POLICE
ID. J. Kaufman Protests Against Refusal
of Authorizes to Permit Novel
Demonstration.
Demonstration.

Editor Of The Washington Herald:
Permit me, through your columns to
explain to the people of Washington why
the parade Of twenty wagons filled with
hat cases which had contained four dozen
hats each, which we had planned should
traverse all the principal sections of
Washington. was eventually confined to
three streets.
The change was made necessary for
the sole reason that the powers that be
would not grant US the privilege, 1t
seems to US to be a very sad situation,
when a real business enterprise-one
whose life was created here and that
has grown to be one of the biggest and
most liberal in all its dealings in this
community, should be handicapped by
regulations that have no real construc-
tive effect but destructive to trade
These same officials have granted per
nits to circus and other parades, which
we think only fair But why discrtmi-
nate, especially when all the money we
spend remains right here In Washington? ?

Taylor was confronted with such diff culties in the southern advance that it was decided to make the principal in- vason of Mexico by way of Vera Cruz. This is thei course that eventually must be adopted in present-day attempt to conquer Mexico. Scott had 12000 men and
 it took him 20 days to reduce Vera Cruz. His force was considerably augmented, however, before he began his march to- wards Mexico City, which occupied six months. He won a great battle at Cerro Gordo, and another overwhelming victory later on at the gates of Mexico City. While estimates vary, war college experts say that there were only 50,000 men on the Mexican side, while on the American side including troops guarding the border and that portion of the army which wak not drawn upon, there were nearly 3OO,- O00 soldiers all told used during the two years of warfare. Mexico today can raise between 15O,0O0 and 100000 men. Mexico is better fortified today than in the earlier war. Even with recruiting accelerated, the United States does not expect a regular army of more than 105,000 men. The mobilization of the National Guard, however, and it's absorption into the na- tional service, will give force of about 200 coo men.

According to Postmaster R. B. Smy- CT. the new postoffice will be one of the most beautiful buildings in the south when completed
 Postmaster Smyer, who recently re- turned from a trip to Washington. stated that he had seen the plans which were practically completed and he was impressed with the fact that the new Birmingham postoffice was building of which the entire state of Alabama would be proud.
 It will take about two months longer before the building contract is let out by the treasury department. asserted Postmaster Smyer, although as the site at Fifth avenue, between eighteenth ana Nineteenth streets. is now cleared there is nothing to delay the award ing of the contract at once.
 "However, those fellows in Washing ton are mighty slow about doirs things" said Postmaster Smyer, and am under the impression that the con tract will not be awarded before the latter part of September and maybe not then. The plans of the new post office are completed, or practically so and cali for a wonderful building, Ci which I am certain the people of this city will be proud. as well as the rest of the state"
