"Now she's here. Gabrielle Rose Is
 here. She's herewith the letters" to study them as they strolled up San Sebastian avenue toward the plaza. But had you been so unklnd you would never have guessed that frequently, in various corners of the little round globe, they had known prosperity, the weekly pay envelope and the buyers crook of the finger summoning a waiter.
 One of the strangers was short, with flaming red hair and in his eye the twinkle without which the collected works of Bernard Shaw are as sound Ing brass. He twlnkled about him as he walked at the bright lights and spurious gayety under the spell of which San Marco sought to forget the rates per day with bath
 "The French" he unused, "are a volatile people, fond of light wines and dancing. So, 1t would seem, are the inhabitants of San Marco. White dannels, Harry, white flannels-they should incase that leaning tower of Pisa you call your manly form"
 The other-long, "adaverous, im- mersed In a gentle melancholy groaned.

 They halted in the plaza. In the round stone tub provided the town al llgator dozed Above him hung warning sign, DO Not Feed or Other wise Annoy the Alligator"
 The short man read and drew back with q tragic grOan.
 "Feed or otherwise annoy" he cried. Heavens, Harry, is that the way they look at 1t here? This Is no place for us. Wed better be moving on to the next town"
 But the lean stranger gave no need. Instead he stepped over and entered into earnest converse with a citizen or San Marco. In moment he returned to his companions side.
 "One newspaper" he announced; the Evening Chronicle. Suppose the office is locked for the night, but come along' let's try"
 "Feed or otherwise annoy" mutter- ed the little man blankly. "For the love of Allah-alms"
 They traversed several side streets and came at last to the office or the Chronicle. It was a modest structure verglng on decay. One man sat alone in the dim interior, reading exchanges under an electric lamp.
 Good evening"" said the short man genIally. Are you the editor"
 "Uh-huh," responded the Chronicle man without enthusiasm from under his green eye shade.
 "Glad to know you. We Just drop ped ina couple of newspaper men, you know. This is MT. Harry Howe until recently managing editor of tho Mobile Press. My own name Is Rob- ert O'Neill, humble editorial writer on the same sheet"
 "Uh-huh. If you had jobs, for Gods sake why did you leave them"
 "I suppose" ventured O'Neill, most of the flash gone from his manner "there is no other newspaper here"
 "No, there isn't. There's weird thing here called the San Marco Mai a morning outrage. It's making mon ey, but by different methods than I'd care to use. You might try there. You look unlucky. Perhaps they'd take you on."

Gentlemen:
Preparedness parades are be-
ing held in every city of the
country TO demonstrate 10 the
mem bers of congress the intense
interest in an adequate defense
against war on the part OF all
citizens.
1t has been felt that citizens
generally should indicate their at
titude on this subject and that
the entire country should be
aroused 10 a patriotic demonstra-
ton of its interest. Since
ancient times demonstrations OF
this character have been held TO
voice the wishes Of the people.
At a meeting Of the citizens of
South Bend, representing a large
number Of organizations. which
was held Monday evening, May
p, it was decided 10 hold a pre-
paredness parade on Saturday
afternoon, June 3. The parade
will move at , o'clock sharp.
other details will be sent later.
Feeling that your organization
together with every other organ
10 participate, we invite you 10
form a section of the parade.
We should take immediate action
10 produce the best results, and
TO that end. you are urgently re-
quested TO call meeting OF your
organization or governing body
and appoint delegates to a meet
ing to be held at 1880 o'clock
Thursday evening. May 20. in the
council chamber, city hall.
Your delegates should be able
to advise this meeting as TO the
number you will have in line.

and suggest names Of persons for
marshals of your section.
This is the big opportunity TO
demonstrate the intensity and
appreciation OF your American
citizenship.
Very truly yours.

Mr.. Oliver said further that he
felt that it was indeed strange why
South Bend citizens should hesitate
about such a program. The very
impetuousness of the New York pa .
rade. he said, did more TO instill the
patriotism OF American citizenry
than anything he had ever before
seen.

the so at the mass meeting that he
had been informed by telephone that
he was one of the three which insti-
tuted the cali for last nights meet

came to the meeting 10 listen and

among South Bend people, rather
than talk on the program

in favor of preparedness unless the
demand for the parade comes from
