BRITAIN HOLDS UP AID FOR
TEUT0NS; U. S. TO PROTEST
Refuses to Allow Shipments of Hos
ptal Supplies by Red Cross
to Germany.

Washington, May 13.-The Ameri-
can government is preparing to pro-
test to Great Britain against it's policy
of refusing to allow the shipment of
hospital supplies by the American
Red Cross to Germany and her allies.
Secretary Lansing has received a
letter from former President Taft,
chairman of the central committee of
the Red Cross. urging such action, and
it was learned the matter would be
taken up with the British government
in the near future.
Mr.. Taft's letter revealed for the
first time that Great Britain formally
had declined to issue permits for ship
ments of supplies to the Central Pow
ers, except when intended for Ameri-
can hospital units
The Red Cross considers the atti-
tude Of the British government in vio-
lation of the Geneva convention, to
which the United States and all Of
the present belligerents are signato-
ries, and holds that the American gov
eminent has the right to insist upon
observance of the treaty.

U. S. PLANE PLUNGES INTO
POTOMAC; TWO LIVES LOST
Three Others Seriously Injured When
Machine Is Wrecked After Fall
Of 100 Feet.

Washington, May 13. = The big n.y.
dro-aeroplane, with which j. C. Mac
Cauley recently established several
new cross-country records, was wreck
ed near Mt. Vernon with probable
loss of two lives and serious injuries
to MacCauley and two other persons
aboard.
The craft plunged 100 feet into the
Potomac, making three revolutions in
its descent and collapsing as it struck
the water.
LOSS of propeller is believed to
have been responsible for the accident,
although neither MacCauley nor his
mechanician, Philip Utter, who we're
picked up from the water unconscious,
was able to tell exactly what hap
.pened.

BIGGEST PARADE EVER HELD
GIANT DEMONSTRATION FOR PRE-
PAREDNEss BEGINS.
Hundred and Forty Thousand Civilians
Marching In New York-Tremen-
dous Crowds Present.

New York, May 13.-The greatest
civilian parade ever held started here
at ten o'clock this morning and will
continue until ten o'clock tonight.
In a giant demonstration for ma
tional preparedness for defense 140,-
600 New York business men and wom-
en- are streaming 16 abreast up Broad
way and Fifth Avenue in a column
that seems to onlookers like the rush
of some mighty, inexhaustible river.
Parade of 1896 Is Outdone.
The sound money parade of 1896,
when $4,000 marched, is far outdone.
The parade is simply limited by the
number which it Is possible to accom-
modate. After 100000 applications
had been received all further volun-
teers were turned away. At least 49,
900 asked to be allowed to march and
were told they were too late
1t is the greatest outburst of patriot
ism ever seen in the United States.
Except the National Guard, 10000
strong, who will enter the column to-
night, no man is in uniform.
No Banners; "Ads" Barred.
All the usual marks of a great pa
rade are lacking. No political ban
ners are carried nor any bearing crit
ical comment. Signs advertising firms
or goods are barred. No vehicles are
permitted. The only mounted men are
the aides of Grand Marshal Charles H.
Sheriff., former minister to Argen-
tina.
The people are marching In five.
grand divisions, by trades and other
occupations. The women are in the
last, or pink division with the National
Guard. They form the rear guard of
the column and will begin their march
at six o'clock tonight.
Tremendous Crowds Present.
The crowds on the street witness
ing the parade are impossible to esti-
mate in number, but every vantage
point is taken and the tumult of cheer
ing is unceasing. In the reviewing
stand at Fifth avenue and Twenty
fourth street are Mayor John P Mitch
Ell, Gen. Leonard A. Wood, U. s. A.,
and Rear Admiral N. r. Usher. COM

CHlCAG0AN NEARLY RUINED
BY CRIMES OF HIS DOUBLE
BIemish Removed When Divine Faces
Author of His Woe-Forger
in Prison.

Chicago, May 10. = E. C. Divine,
whose life was nearly ruined by the
crimes of a man who was his 'dou-
BILE" in appearance, voice and pen
manship, believes that justice, which
evens up the wrongs of this world, is
simply double" of hard work
The president of the Strand Theater
company, who once was tried on the
charge of forging 100000 check, sat
at his desk receiving congratulations
of friends who knew of his triumphant
acquittal, yet were aware of the stain
that had pursued him in his career.
A few days ago the blemish was re-
moved forever, when Mr.. Divine
faced his double" and the author of
all his woe. The latter, known as A.
Gilbert Sargent, is serving a sentence
IN the Massachusetts state prison at
on two forgery charges.

F0UR-YEAR TERM is UPHELD
Supreme Court Declares State Law
Constitutional.

st. Paul, May 13.-The four-year
term law for county officers has been
upheld by a decision of the state
supreme court. All sheriffs, county
treasurers, auditors, county attorneys
registers of deeds, coroners, superin.
tendents of schools and county sur
veyors elected in 1914 will hold over
until 1918, and will not have to stand
for reelection this year.
The case came up from Wright
county on relation of Fred ]. Fischer,
who sought to file for county treas.
urer, but was refused by John A. Berg,
county auditor. Fischer's attorneys
claimed that the law was unconstitu-
tional, and that the legislature had no
right to lengthen terms. This posi-
ton is held untenable by Commission
er H. B. Dibell, who wrote the opin-
ion.

Marathon, Texas, May 13.-Mexican
bandits again have crossed into Amer
lean territory and attacked civilians

miles north of BoquilIas at an ore ter
minal station and directly behind Col.

time had not crossed into Mexico.

Major Langhornes car had left b.
quillas at 4: 80 in the afternoon with
dispatches for Colonel Sibley, en- route
from Marathon to Boquillas and was
proceeding through rough country
when several shots whistled close to
the driver. At that point there is
slight bend in the road and Howard,
fearing that more bandits were on the
side ready to pick him off, turned his
car and started back for Boquillas.
Major Langhorne, when apprised of
the attack, sent soldiers to the scene,
who secured the country without OBJ
tanning clue to the bandits where
abouts.

Paris, May 13.-Hard fighting has
been resumed in the vicinity of Dead
Man hill on the Verdun front, the
Germans making another attempt to
dislodge the French from positions on

the Verdun battle, contemplated retir-
ing from the forts northeast o1'Verdun
and defending the citadel from the
west bank of the Meuse.
No Orders For Retreat Given.
The report said this move was con-
templated through fear that the Ger

ConcIlIator.

London, May 13-John Dillon, one
Of the most respected of the Nation
alists, but often one of the bitterest
antagonists of British rule, attacked
the government In the House of Com
mons in speech, which, for bitter de-
nunciation, has not been surpassed at
Westminster since Parnell's days.
Asquith Steps Into Breach.
Premier Asquith personally stepped
into the breach and is taking the I'M
precedented course of journeying to
Dublin to investigate the situation on
the spot and doubtless to give fnstruc-
lions to General Sir John Maxwell re-
garding the policy which the military
government must pursue, now that the
chief civil administrators, Lord VIM
borne, Augustine Birrell and Sir
Matthew Nathan have retired from Of
fee. Mr.. Asquith in playing the part
Of conciliator, announced he was 60
ing to consult with the authorities in
order to arrive at some arrangement
satisfactory to all Irishmen. He de-
clared frankly that the present situa-
ton could not continue
Undoing NationalIsts' Work.
The House of Commons negatived,
without division, Mr. Dillon's motion
demanding that the government
should Immediately declare it's inten-
lions. The House of Lords, adopted
without division Lord Loreburn's mo-
ton expressing dissatisfaction with
the governments management of Ire
land.
Mr. Dillon in his address said that
the fact that nine out of ten people |
in Ireland were on the side of the |
government was due to the life work |
of the Nationalists and now the pres
ent rule was washing out that life
work in a sea of blood"
Proud of Rebels Courage.
Out of the whole of Ireland, Mr. |
Dillon continued, there were only four |
,r five spots where there were insur-
'ections, yet the whole country was |
Inder martial law and there was
no trace of the civil ad-
If the military rule was

nent had better get ready 100000 men

Berlin (via wireless to Sayville),
May 13.-The Austrian passenger
liner Dubrovnik has been torpedoed
and sunk by an enemy submarine in
the Adriatic without any warning, ac-
cording to dispatches received here.
The Dubrovnik was not armed.
May Have Been Transport.
An official dispatch from Rome an
nounced that an Austrian transport
was sunk in lower Adriatic by a
French submarine. This is the only
torpedoing that has been mentioned
from Rome for several days.
1t is possible that the vessel tor
pedoed and declared by the Austrians
to be a passenger liner is the same
steamer which the Italians assert was
carrying supplies.
The Dubrovnik was a steel screw
steamer, displacing 4,23S tons. 1t was
built in 1912 and registered at the
port of Ragusa.
U. S. to Make no Protest.
Washington, May 13.-Unless Ameri-
can citizens were on board the Aus
trian passenger liner Dubrovnik, re-
ported torpedoed without warning by
an enemy submarine in the Adriatic,
this government will not protest the
attack
The view Of officials was that the
attack on the Dubrovnik, even if
proved to be illegal, would be placed
alongside such cases as the Yasaka
Maru and the Cymric, Japanese and
British ships respectively, which
were torpedoed without warning, but
on which there were no American
citizens.
