TEN DAYS IN COUNTY PRISON
FOR GOING TO SLEEP In SQUARE
Dominick Gillespie Not So Learned in
the Law as He Thinks

Rlttenhouse Square seems to give Domi-
nick Gillespie inspiration. Al least he said
so today after being awakened during an
open-air nap on bench by Park Guard
Ludley. He left the square in mutinous
mood A few minutes later Ludley was
attracted by the snores OF a man on another
bench. He turned him over. II was Gill
lespie This time the guard escorted him
outside the square But Gillespie was back
again in a few minutes on another bench.
The guard summoned the patrol. and with
the aid of a passerby lifted the sleeper into
the wagon. When Gillespie awoke he was
looking into the face of Magistrate Steven
son.
There's no law agin sleeping" said
Dominick. You're right" said the Judge
you try II for ten straight days in the

New York's Monster Pageant.
New York. May 13.-New York
expressed its attitude on the ques-
ton Of national preparedness to-
day by holding the greatest civic
parade ia the history OF the coun-
try. An almost countless host of
men and women, estimated at ov-
er 10000, representing all walks
OF life in the nation s metropolis,
marched for II hours, 20 abreast,
behind bands playing patriotic
airs. through ilag-bedecked streets
lined with hundreds Of thousands
of cheering spectators.
All the professions and trades
which make up the complex lite
of the city were represented.
"This, declared Major Gener-
al Leonard Wood, in command of
the department Of the east, who
reviewed the parade, is the
greatest argument America has
ever known IN favor Of prepared
ness against elements that arc at
present unknown.
The great civic army began
marching at 9 80 a. N. and the
last Of them had not passed the re-
viewing stand in Madison Square
until $3.50 o'clock tonight.
The women's division, estimat-
ed to number between five and
six thousand, began to appear be-
fore the reviewing stand about 8
o clock. Mrs. Theodore Roosc-
Welt. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr
and Mrs. J. Borden Hartman

FOR A U. 8. ARMY
OF $4,000 MEN.
Congress Agrees on Greater Pre-
paredness.-New York Rati-
fies BY Record Parade.

Washington, May 10 "A stand
ing army Of 100000 mon, capable
Of being expanded in an emergcn-
cy 10 254, 900, and backed up by
a fedcralized national guard Of
425 600 rs q reserve, finally was
agreed on to-day By house and
senate conferences on the army
bill.
The agreement will be reported
10 congress early next week and
the measure, the first Of the adj
ministfation preparedness bills, is
expected TO be before President
Wilson for his signature soon af-
terward.
Advocates Of adequate national
defense regard this conference
agreement as a triumph. The com
promise between the house and
senate measures was effected af-
ter weeks Of struggle against an
insistent demand from house con-
ferecs for a standing army Of on
Ii 10000 men, and until to-day
il had appeared that the senate
might be forced to yield. The sen
ate bill provided or 100000.
The minimum enlisted strength
would be attained under the con-
ference agreement within the next
FIVE years and il is stipulated that
Al no time shall the total be less
than 10000.
The conference report also pro-
vides for government nitrate man
ufacturing plants 10 cost not to
exceed $4,000, 600; for vocation
al education ia the regular army
and for establishment Of military
training camps for volunteer citi-
zcns whose transportation, cloth |
ing aud subsistence expenses
while in training would be paid
By the federal government.
Other salient features Of the
measure provide for board to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of es-
iablishing government munition
plants and a board 10 recommend
of industries. Au-
thorify is given TO the government
10 seize and operate private mu-
milton plants IN time Of war.
The national guard, at maxi
mum strength, would be recruited
on the basis Of 500 men to each
congressional district. giving a To-
tai aggregate Of 425.00 men. The
reserve force, together with the
regular army Of 100000 war
strength, would produce a com
bined defense force Of $4,000
men.

DOGS OF WAR AT EACH
CITY l.;i'S TUWOAIS.

The fearful clash now in progress
between the Germans and allies OF
;hc western battle front is appalling
;hc .vo,;d. Men are being moved down
bv thousands, and experts among
the allies calculate that this sick
ening carnage is liable to continue
during the next two weeks. The hals-
err is evidently determined to make
a drive. regardless o. the cost.
While he is being cheered by his
troops as he rides up and down the
lines, troubles are occurring IN Fer
lin. According to copies of paper
published in the German capital which
has reached Amsterdam, serious riot
ing has occurred in Berlin, where one
hundred persons were killed before
order was restored.
AS suggested by contemporary, the
present great drive at Verdun, VII!
turn out to lie but part Of an ln!-
msnse aggressive Of the Germans
along a nine-mile front. 1t is the drive
Of madmcn. Battalions after battal-
IONS of men have been urged fer
ward in close formation to be cut
down by thu deadly fire of the French.
The Germans bring up battalions and
when these are killed or are wear
led replace them by others. They have
instituted an endless chain process,
hoping thus to wear out the enemy
whose numbers are possibly not more
than half those of the attackers. The
massed might of Germany with $780,
600 men actually fighting, upon the
conservative calculation is being
used in tbs sectors under attack to
break down the defensive Of the Al
lies and make Il way to Paris
The French have shrunk at the
sacrifice challenged They suddcr
to have their men hcwn down Ike
swine. They are careful of them, al
so because they are difficult to re-
Diacc. The Germans are ruthless and
lmsnaring. II is doubtless their last
mad drive and they are seemingly
determined TO extend the line Of as
sault until they have called into play
every ounce of their power on the
west side with as much of their forces
as they can mustar from the cast
side.

great struggle around Verdun will
be numbered with the most desperate
and sangunary of the war, and pro-
baby surpasses in these respects the
offensive of the Allies last fall and
the second battle of Ypres last spring.
The German assaults have been cha
racterized by extraordinary deter
rlination and pertinacity.
Former Congressman Victor Muir
dock, of Kansas, who has just return
ed from Europe, is convinced that
the war will end before December, and
his opinion is based on the idea that
Germany will not be able to stand
the financial strain much longer. He
was also convinced after careful in
spection of the French front that as a
whole it was impregnable. Yet even if
Germany should be thrown entirely or
the defensive, it does not look to the
outsider at present as if she would
collapse suddenly. AS a dying gladia-
tor she would be formidable to the end,
and her death struggle might be at
tended with tragedies unspeakable.
Mr.. Murdoch is convinced that before
July half Of London may be destroyed
by a great Zeppelin bombardment.
And he brings back with him from the
scenejof conflict the further belief thai
among all the nations the United
States has not one friend" and that
whichever side wins, within the not
distant future this country will have
to defend itself against the attack OF
one or combination Of the Euro
pean nations"
