Patriotism.

Philadelphia, March 31.-Patriotic Phil
adelphians-so.ooO to 10000 loyal citizens
of every age. every race. every color
this afternoon thronged Independent
Square and all the streets in the vicinity,
cheered half a dozen addresses bristling
with patriotism, and shouted and sang
until their throats ached in affirmation
Of their loyalty to their nation and sup
port of their President. The celebration
rvalled in size and enthusiasm the
greatest event OF the kind ever held any
where in the United States since the
civil war.
Lieut.. Gen. S. B. NJ. Young. u. S. A.,
retired, reused the vast throng to a high
pitch of enthusiasm with an impassioned
plea for preparedness. "If you are cow
ards, perish, but IL you are men, fight, "
shouted the speaker amid a lombard
ment OF cheers. Another big demonstra-
ton followed when Gen. Young. voicing
an earnest demand for-universal military
training, denounced as criminal a nation
which will send raw recruits against
trained soldiers on the battlefield.
Pledge to President.
The loyalty pledge was expressed in a
resolution that will be sent to the Presi-
dent and was adopted with a mighty
chorus. The mass meeting also sent a
cablegram to Admiral James Oliver, gov
ernor of the former Danish West Indies,
bidding their citizens a hearty welcome
under the American flag.
Senator Hiram johnson, of California,
also received an ovation when he de-
clared that a nation which fails to ar
range for its own defense and neglects
to protect its own citizens is sowing the
seeds of dissolution. Franklin Spencer
Edmonds and Senator Penrose were loud
ly cheered when they echoed the senti-
ments of Gen. Young and Senator John
son concerning the immediate need for
adequate preparedness.
Senator johnson sounded a clarion call
for the protection of American rights.
You may have an idea when you go
across the Mississippi" said Senator
johnson, that you won't find the same
kind of patriotism that animates people
here in the East. In the last two and a
half years there have been questions of
perplexity. With national purpose and
policy known the West will show the
same fervid patriotism of the East and
will go forward shoulder to shoulder with
you singing the old retain, The Battle

BRITISH Send PLEDGES
FOR ANOTHER war loan
$500, 100000 Collateral En- Route to
J.P. Morgan, Is Report.

New York, March a.-A huge amount
of American and neutral securities, ac-
cording to reports today, is now on the
way from Great Britain via Canada to
]. P. Morgan and Company. One report
put the approximate value Of this collat-
eral at $500, 100000.
Prior to the sale last week of 800 ooO O0O
French government two-year per cent
notes. it was authoritatively stated that
the next allied borrowing here would
likely be another s250,oO0,OoO short term
loan to Great Britain.
The last English borrowing operation
here was. the so-called United Kingdom
one and two-year collateral 51 per cent
loan, to the amount of $25o!0OO,00 Securi-
ties now reported to be on the way here
would likely be used as collateral to Sc
cure the next British loan, although Wall
Street has been led to believe that fully
$780, 900 worth of securities are now
here in Great Britair's account other
than the 900 of collateral put up
against the three secured British loans
totaling $500, 900.
That any British loan is now imminent
bankers doubt because of the inclination
to await the decision Of Congress relative
to our governments financing.
