Washington to Have Monster
Parade Wednesday,
June ID.
COMMITTEE is NAMED
TO COMPLETE PLANS
William F. GUIDE, Selected Chair
man, Says Citizens Here Should
Speak on Subject.

Washington is going to have
a monster preparedness parade.
Arrangements to this end were
perfected at meeting of c1tl-
zens held in The Star building
Friday afternoon, and the formal
decision to carry forward the
big plans for a monster demon
stration for preparedness We'd

finally decided upon today at a
meeting OF an executive commit

President Wilson was ap-
preached in regard to the under

proval, and the committee is
more determined than ever to
make this a really national pre-
paredness demonstration.

Data Given to President.

Some weeks ago George L. Cain.
representing the League of Govern
ment Employees, laid before the Presi-
dent extensive data and arguments
favoring Saturday half holiday for all
the year, and showing that a majority
of the states and nearly all the big
cities of the country officially close at
noon Saturday all the year round. This
document has not been laid before the
cabinet by the President, but copies
of it were sent to ca abinet officers by
Mr. Cain, who worked for six months
in gathering the facts. By something
like unanimous consent the executive
heads of the government departments
appear to have reached the conclusion
that no additional action is expected
from the President. who will permit
his past order for half holidays in the
summer months to stand.

Neutrals Desire Peace.

ct is useless to discuss at this mo-
ment the question as to whether Presi-
dent wilson's intermediation is desir-
able or probable. In this instance facts
alone must speak, and one of the most
important facts is that the neutrals
are probably as much interested in
bringing about an early peace as the
belligerents. America urgently needs
peace. and for this reason alone the
American government is under an obll-
cation to it's citizens to do and sup
port everything that serves the cause
of peace. A fact of chief Importance is
that my government is really willing
to take action for the promotion of
peace.
Il am very optimistic regarding the
progress already made of the idea that
the war should be ended. even among
belIigerent nations. The wise and
moderate words of the German chan
cellor regarding Germany's readiness
to make peace had probably their
strengthen the impression that Ger
many will take all further steps calmly
and with confidence.
Future Steps Not Clear.
when another step will be taken
and what shape the further develop
ment of the peace idea will take is not
clear. At any rate, 1 am convinced
that my government will leave nothing
undone to support with all its power
peace movements from whatever side
they come Even although weeks or
months may elapse before the thought
takes tangible form. nothing can shake
my confidence that peace is on its way"
Referring to the recent crisis in Ger
man-American relations, the ambass-
sador said:
Il hardly know from what quarter
United States and Germany could be
disturbed. The establishment of good
relations with Germany is one of the
most important factors of the diplo-
matte situation now confronting the
United States

CLERKS HALF HOLIDAYS
AGAIN TO BEGIN JUNE IS
President Not Expected Soon to
Make Any Change Affecting
U. S. Departments.

President Wilson and his cabinet
have not taken up the question of ex-
tending Saturday half holidays for a
longer period than now given by exec
utive order during the summer months.
and it is stated to be practically GER
tain that the President will do nothing
on the subject for long time to come.
Cabinet officers, in anticipation that the
President will not broaden his execu-
tive order of last year, are preparing
to announce Saturday halliday closing
beginning June Is, as was done last
year, and ending September Is. Secre-
tary Redfield already has signed an or

President to Speak Tonight.

This nationwide enthusiasm is expected
to be aroused in large measure by the
address tonight of President Wilson at the
banquet, which is to close the assemblage
of the league. Advisers of the President
have said that his address tonight will
be of unusual force and significance. The
President is known to have given much
thought to the convictions he will express
and to have prepared it carefully, know
ing the close scrutiny to which it will be
subjected, both in this country and in the
nations now at war
Many delegates today expressed the
hope that the Presidents utterances
may be construed as an invitation to
warning powers to consider peace terms
Immediately.
Strong Endorsement of the league
proposals as given last night by New
ton d. Baker, Secretary of War, and
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. is eX-
pected to have great weight in arous-
ing sentiment in the states.

Committee Is Selected.

Committee Is Selected.
gathered at the meeting selected Will
liam F. GUIDE as chairman of the execu-
tive committee, and also named the fol-
lowing as the personnel of that commit
tee: Rudolph Kaufman. treasurer:
Charles J. Columbus, secretary; r. P.
Andrews, f. c. Brandenburg. Melvin c.
Hazen, P. T. Moran. Edward F. Colladay
and c. Fred Cook.
The executive committee voted today
to proceed with the organization of com
mitteeS that will be necessary to carry
forward this work. The com.iIttee has
established its headquarters in The Star
building.
I'VE believe that this is the logical
time for the citizens of the National
Capital to speak in the matter of pre-
paredness." Chairman William F. GUIDE
said today.
"Other large cities have held pre-
paredness parades, and certainly there
is no date more fitting than Flag day
for such a demonstration in Washing
ton.
I'VE want the citizens of Washing
ton to realize that this is every mans S
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 VIII
be prompt in organizing units to march
in the great parade.
Demonstration for Every One.
This is a demonstration for every
one, and none need wait upon an in
vitation. 1t is community endeavor
that should make a wonderfully strong
appeal to all of our citizenship.
The heads Of organizations of every
class are urged to call special meet
ings at once and notify our committee
at it's Offices in The Star building of
the number that they will have to
parade and any distinctive character
istics that will surround their par
ticipation. A place will be assigned in
the line of march, and the time and
place appointed for assembling.
I'VE are particularly anxious that the
representative citizens of this COM
munity should take an interest in the
organization of these units and advise
zen will be the active marshal of the
parade"
The executive committee is to take
steps Immediately to have joint reso-
luton introduced into Congress pro-
viding for the stopping of the street
cars on Pennsylvania avenue during
the period of the parade. 1t is planned
to have Pennsylvania avenue roped
from the Peace Monument to the Treas
ury.
The proposed preparedness parade
will dovetail into the program for the
to be held on the Monument grounds,
at which an address will be delivered
by President Wilson. Formative steps
to this end have already been taken.

Appeals to the Public.

Strong public opinion is necessary for
success of the plan, J. Mott Hallowell
Boston lawyer, explained, first, be-
cause probably no national administra-
ton would venture to bind the United
States to such a radical step unless
this step We're indorsed and understood
by the people; second. because il any
administration should so pledge the
faith of our country and should after
ward be called upon to make good its
word, the ability to do so would depend
on the strength of the public opinion
indorsing the pledge"
Philip II. Gadsden, Charleston. S. c.,
business man. explained that the or
sanization of the League to Enforce
Peace, effected at Philadelphia year
ago. provided for creation of a branch
in each state, with a chairman, secre-
tary. treasurer. assistants and an ex-
ecutive committee to direct the work.
For the institution of similar move
ments in other countries committee
of the league will be appointed at the
proper time. In the meanwhile Theo-
dore Marburg, former minister to Bel
gium, is using his wide and friendly
acquaintance in Europe to get the feel
ing of the people in other nations.

the Browns and there would not be
chance to buy St. Louis Fed play
ers.
The only place Kauff has anything
on Tobin is~in batting. Tobin is as
fast on the bases, plays dy-hit balls
better and thrown better.
Tobin batted .2o9 in the Fed league
last season. He made more hits than
any other player, 1856. His nearest
rival was Ed Konetchy, who made
179. =
Tebin ranked second in the number
of bases made on his hits. third in
scoring runs and fourth in honors.
Combination of the two ST. Louis
clubs gives the Browns pretty sweet
looking outfeld. Besides Tobin,
Manager Fielder Jones will have Ar
mando Marsans, the Cuban, who also
comes over from the Fed club; Shot
ten, Red Walker and Howard.
Fielder Jones, manager of the ST.
Louis Americans, has an idea that
comes pretty close to being pipe
dream. It involves the erection of
baseball plant that will seat 100000
and be used only for world, series
games.
The plant should be built in some
neutral city, probably in the south
where the weather would be good for
baseball in October. He says it would
not make much difference where the
plant was located, the fans would
travel many miles to see the big
games if they knew they would be
sure to get seats.
"The world series is really some-
thing apart from the National and
American league races" says Jones.
''It is the grand climax of the two
stirring races and appeals as much to
the fan in Bangor, Maine, as to the
fan in Portland, Ore.
"ProVision should be made so that
all the fans who want to see the big
series could do so, and be sure of ac-

other enterprises that reap benefits
could chip in to defray expenses.
"The world series advertises itself
because fans think about the big
games from the start of the season to
the finish. The big revenue from
seats would pay for the plant in a
short time, even if seats were sold
for smaller prices than they are
now"

CHANCES OF BEING MURDERED
JUST EIGHT OUT OF 100000

There are eight chances out of
100000 that you will be murdered.
Bloodcurdingly, yes, but true, ac-
cording to statistics just compiled by
Frederick L. Hoffman of New York.
1t means that 5000 residents of
the country are murdered each year.
Memphis leads all other American
cities in the number of capital crimes
yearly. There the murders in 1914
amounted to 1922 persons for every
100000 population.
Charleston, S. c., is second with
1873 persons of every 100000.
Chicago had in ten years 1855
murders, the average murder rate
being 9.3 persons in every 100000.
The rate for San Francisco is 11.8,
Cincinnati, IL; Seattle, 81; Spokane,
7.8, and Washington, rs.
The lowest rate of cities checked
up is that of Milwaukee, which av-
erages "a for the ten-year-period, al
though its rate was So in 1914.
New York, checking up only Man.
haitian and Bronx, has rate of 6.1.
