Twenty thousand women are in the pageant. Workers in 200 occu- pations, lawyers and other profession al men, city officials and city en- ployes and ten thousand members of the National Guard in uniform, and thousands of veterans of the Spanish War compose the long column.

 The marchers were divided into sixty-four divisions. The hour set for the start was 9:30 a. m., and it is expected that the last division will not reach the disbanding point until 1O:3O o'clock tonight.
 Demands for a place in the parade so greatly exceeded the time and space that the promoters were com- pelled to reject 60,000 applications. Beginning at the Battery, at the southern tip of Manhattan Island, the divisions fell in line at intervals all the way up lower Broadway, Center and Lafayette street and Fifth avenue, nearly to the reviewing stand erected in Madison Square.

H. s. PUPILS IN
 OPEN REBELLION
Bloody Noses and Black Eyes Follow Clash With Teachers

New York, May 13.-Erasmus Hall High school in F'latbush was the scene of open rebellion yesterday, when more than 400 pupils attacked ten male members of the faculty
 stationed at the main entrance to prevent pupils from leaving the grounds in recess time. Several teachers were bowled' over and many boys felt the force of teachers fists.
 The riot was the result of the pupils campaign to have the lunch rooms taken from private persons and put under control of the general organization of the school, as they are in several other high schools. The pupils say they pay exorbitant prices for ordinary food in small quantity They also complain that they must patronize the lunch rooms or bring their own food as no one may leave school at recess time.
 A week ago last Monday several noys were talking over conditions when one of them suggested to Horace Greeley, Sd, that he draw a petition for pupils to sign. Horace drew the petition and 2,500 put down their names. The pupils say they tried to present the petition to Miss Katie E. Turner, in charge of the school in the absence of Dr. Walter B. Gunnison, but she refused to ac- cept it.
 The faculty heard yesterday that the boys had decided to leave school at recess. Ten big teachers were stationed at the main gate and when noon came the boys met on the cam pus and walked toward the entrance singing school songs. Greeley was picked Up near the gate and pushed 10 the front. Tn the archway were ten professors There was a cry, a rush, and the mass of pupils hurled themselves at the defenders of the pass.
 The guards steadied themselves. but the tide swept them from their feet and they rolled upon the side walk clinging to a boy apiece. More than a hundred boys gained the street, and the others retreated to the 1 campus with bleeding noses and 1 swollen eyes. The girl students | cheered the boys with cries and hand | clapping.
 The insurgents outside marched to 1 Flatbush and Church avenues, where they held an indignation meeting, then in a few minutes returned to school. The faculty men were still on guard at the gate and as the boys came they were seized and taken to the office of Miss Turner, though | some escaped by another rush in.
 Miss Turner at her home last night declared that a few students violated the rule and went out, but denied that the faculty had guarded the gate. She said the food petition had never been brought to her official notice, and that the school authori- ties were ready to receive suggestions as to the lunch rooms.
 That the revolt is not over was in dicated by the talk of pupils after school, when it was generally agreed that all should bring their lunches and boycott the lunch rooms.

Following Dissention In Congress Over

Washington.-Pres Wilson, at

ter to Senator Stone, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee,
stating that he could not consent to
the abridgment of the rights of Ameri-
can citizens in any respect.
'The honor and self-respect Of the
nation is involved" he said. 1--WE covet
peace and shall preserve it at any
cost but the loss of honor"
The president expressed hope that
explanations Of the declared 1nten-
tions of the Central European powers

out warning would put different as

to present insuperable obstacles.

The letter was in answer to one
written by Senator Stone outlining the
situation existing at the capitol, where
persistent demands had been made
for some action which might lessen
the possibility Of war between the
United States and Germany. The
presidents statement was repeated to

COMMANDERS ARE DIRECTED TO
SINK ARMED SHIPS WITHOUT
WARNING.
TOOK EFFECT ON FEB. 20
Germany Says Assurances Given In
Lusitania and Arabic Cases Are
BindIna-von Bernstorff No
titles Lansing.

Washington-Germa has instruct
cd Count yon Bernstorff to inform the
United States government that the as
surances regarding the future conduct
of submarine warfare given in the
Lusitania and Arabic cases still are
binding, but that they apply only to
merchantmen Of peaceful character.
The German government is understood
to contend that armed merchantmen
have, without regard to the nature OF
their armament, shown themselves not
to be peaceful, and therefore are sub
ject to destruction without warning.
The instructions direct the Ger
man ambassador particularly to tell
Secretary Lansing that British mer-
chantmen armed ostensibly only for
defense carry guns for the special pur-
pose of attacking German submarines.
To support this claim the Berlin for
eign office has sent the ambassador
for presentation to the state depart
ment a list of at least 20 incidents
where it is claimed British merchant
ships have attacked submarines.
Confidential advices from Berlin
state that German and Austrian SUBJ
marine commanders have received
their new orders and that from mid
night, Tuesday, Feb. 20, they are au-
thorized to sink without warning all
armed merchant ships of Germans
emies. It was said also that many OF
the submarines probably had left their
bases on cruises, and that even should
the United States request the postpon-
ing of the opening Of the campaign
It would be impossible to get word to
many of the submersibles. Count Won
Bernstorff declined to discuss the In
structions from Berlin in any way.

URGE PROBE OF EXCHANGE
Congress Hears That New Workers
Have Conspiracy To Hold Cot
ton Prices On Low Level.

washington. - Democrats of the
house from the cotton growing states
held a conference at the house office
building and determined to urge con-
gress to investigate the New York
Cotton Exchange to ascertain whether
there is bear conspiracy to depress
the price OF cotton. It also was agreed
to propose a bill to further regulate
cotton exchanges.
The committee also is to draft a
bill for the further regulation OF the
cotton exchanges Of the United States
and to submit it to the mex meeting
Of the conference, when called for that
purpose by the chairman.
The text OF the resolution follows:
Whereas, the New York Cotton Ex-
change has been manipulated so as to
depress the cotton market and preven!
prices warranted by supply and de-
mand; and,
Whereas, said exchange has de-
pressed the price of the future contract
so as to keep it below the price OF
cotton in the spot markets OF the
south; and,
Whereas, such price Juggling and
manipulation discloses crooked deal
ing and unfair methods in influencing
cotton prices; and,
Whereas, by the unfair manipula-
ton of prices and exchange has de-
frauded the producers Of cotton out OF
millions of dollars on the crop of 1915;
and,
Whereas, the belief exists among
producers of cotton and others en-
gagged in the cotton business that there
is a bear conspiracy among certain
spectators on the New York Cotton
Exchange to depress and hold down
the price of cotton; and,
Whereas, the necessity exists for
further and better regulation Of cot
ton exchanges so as to confine future
dealing to fair and legitimate specula.
ton. therefore be 1t
Resolved, that the chairman OF
this convention be, and he is hereby
authorized and requested to appoint a
committee to be composed of one rep.
resentative in congress from each OF
the cotton growing states to draft and
introduce into congress a resolution
calling for an immediate, full and com.
plete investigation of the New York
Cotton Exchange; and be it further
Resolved, that it shall be the duty
of said committee to draft bill for
the further regulation Of the cotton
exchanges of the United States and ta

ROW ON GERMAN POLICY
Congress Splits on Warning Ameri-
cans Who Travel on Armed Ships
of the Allies.

Washington.-Agi in congress
for action warning Americans off
armed ships of the European belliger-
ents suddenly grew to such proper
tions on Feb. % that the Democrats
of the foreign relations committee vot-
ed to canvass the sentiment of the
house on several pending resolutions
of that nature.
Sentiment in the senate in favor OF
such action also was openly expressed,
but at the end of a day the surprises,
tension and agitation such as had not
been seen in congress in some time,
the word came that President Wilson
was unalterably opposed to any such
action by congress, and the canvass
was held up.
The sudden developments at the
capitol brought surprise and appre-
hension to the administration leaders.
While confronted with the possibility
of congressional interference, with all
its grave aspects ranging from a de-
lection from the administration policy
to downright embarrassment OF the
president and the secretary of state,
the leaders were confident they would
control the situation and leave the ex-
ecutive branch of the government free
to carry on diplomatic negotiations
with Germany.
At no time did the question come
out openly on the floor of either the
house or the senate, but about score
of congressman who announced they
were in favor of warning Americans,
even if it involved a reputation OF the
administration policy, if thereby they
thought war would be averted, kept
both houses In a state OF tension that
practically blocked business.
