The free street parade, which
will start from the circus lot at
10 o'clock on the morning of cir
Gus day, is entirely different
from anything of the kind ever
shown before. It will be three
miles in length and there will be
bands on foot, on horseback, and
riding on top of wagons of red
and gold. There will be six bands
in all and they will be assisted
by three steam calliopes and an
electric piano.
With the largest tent in the
history of all circuses, the Bar
mum & Bailey circus promises
this season to make good again
it's boast that it is the Greatest
Show on Earth. Five railroad
trains comprising 80 railroad
cars, will be required to trans
port it's parapernalia, and more
than $50 horses will be used to
transfer it's wagons from the
railroad yards to the show lot.

declare a holiday to visit the
show.
The big circus will exhibit in

1t is promised that nothing to
compare with the present Bar
mum & Bailey performance has
ever before been seen under can
vas. New and novel features
have been imported from abroad
and program of events, thrill
ing, educational and screemingly
funny, will occupy every instant
in three rings, four stages, the
riggings above and the hippo
drome surrounding for more
than three hours.
There is a new and gorgeous
pageant entitled, aladdin and
His Wonderful Lamp" in which
nearly 1,400 persons and one
thousand animals appear in
magnificent costumes rivaling
the dress of the people of the fa-
nous arabian Nights" story.
This will be followed by a host
of acts in all parts of the great
enclosure. There will be sixty
clowns, a greatly increased men
agerie of wild and untamed ami
mails, four great herds of ele-
plants, several caravans of cam
els and many recently born baby
animals.

the bulk of the regular army
is now under his command, how
ever, and since several of the big
army mobilization camps are to
be established in his territory,
it was pointed out that his trip

Orchestra Of Philadelphia Also
Plays Patriotic Airs

London, Feb. 6.--The orchestra
played THE Star Spangled Banner"
and other patriotic airs aboard the
American steamship Philadelphia,
from New York, when the news was
received of the severance of diplomat
ic relations between the United States
and Germany. Passengers on the
Philadelphia arrived at London last
night from Liverpool, where the vessel
locked early in the day.
There was also some cheering when
the passengers recovered from their
surprise after reading a wirelss mes
sag posted on the bulletin board at
noon Saturday as the Philadelphia
was nearing the danger zone off the
coast of Ireland, but there was little
excitement. A majority of the Amer
leans, realizing the gravity Of the
news, moved off quietly. Little groups
formed and earnest discussions fol-
lowed.
Even the rumor, which spread
quickly, that war had been declared
between the United States and Ger
MANY was received calmly, and only
a few women refused to retire to their
berths during the remainder of the
voyage. Only the usual precautions,
such as putting out the lights and il
Illuminating the Stars and Stripes on
the steamships sides were taken while
passing through the danger zone. The
passengers reported sighting no sub
marines on the entire trip.

her daughter, Mrs. John II. Ward; her

"Great Commoner" Said to Be

comic advice in a letter received yes

sentative Clarence Miller Of Mime

ter In the house. This advice from
the constituent William E. Richard
son of Duluth. was in response to
Mr.. Bryan's recent statement advis-
ing the people to communicate with
members of congress and record their
views on the presidents severance of
relations with Germany.
William Jennings Bryan" reads
the Richardson letter. asked people
to advise their representatives ir
congress of their wishes in this crisis,
In accordance Herewith, I would say
to you that it is my opinion that the
interests of our country would be
best conserved by the immediate in
ternment of tho said Bryan
Commenting upon the letter, Rep
resentative Miller said:
when our fathers struggled for
their independence In this land there
we're royalists abroad. When the
dark days of the Civil war were hero

| Today England has her pacifists. In,

This is time when there should be
no creed and no politics, but when all

| citizens. Our president, yours and
mine, has passed the hour for deliber-
| alton, has passed the hour of doubt
1t is the duty of every man to back
him up.
| IL decry those who see it their
duty to work against the common
wealth by trying to create a public
sentiment opposed to the presidents
colrse. Free deliberation and free
discussion are born o. q legal right.
We cannot cry out against them when
they are in their place. But I believe
at this time they begin to be skim
med-milk patriotism, and if contin-
ued they are destined to end the shad-
ow line of treason
Representatives Huddleston of Ala

braska, republican, defended Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Huddleston contended
, that the right of free speech should
, not be abridged.
\ Representative Sloan said he arose

Another day might be designated
as Mayors Day, when the mayors of
every city in Connecticut should be
invited to visit the City of New Brit
ain, and inspect It's industries, and be
entertained at a municipal banquet in
the evening.
lone other day might be designat-
ed as Clean Up and Pay Up. when
everybody should clean up everything,
streets, door yards, alley-ways, attics
and garrets, pay all debts so, far as
possible, return all borrowed articles,
and wipe all old scores and grudges
off the slate. Such day could be
made one of the greatest days in the
history of the city"
The principal day In. such a week
would be, of course Flag Day. With
the Governor and his staff present
with a military organization such as
the Putnam Phalanx or the Foot
Guard and with our own boys who
went to the Mexican border, New
Britain could show an honor to the
flag never before publicly staged in
this vicinity. The Elks are to be
CONGRATULATED upon tie decision TO
make their patriotic services public,
and to invite the entire city to join
them in honoring Old Glory. Every
member of the community should be
interested in the project. To en-
schroud Flag Day" with a week Of
festivity will, instead of detracting
from the original plan, make it an
event never to be forgotten.

Austl'ia's Opinion.

Vienna, Feb. 6, Via Amsterdam to
London, Feb. SIN its comment on
the recent action by the United States
the Neue Freie Presse says:
president Wilson acts as If sub
blue-something entirely due to lust
for destruction. Has he forgotten
what the Entente has done to provoke
the central powers? Has he forgot
ten that it openly declared to the
world that Austria Hungary must
perish and the German political
power be crushed? How can Presi-
dent Wilson speak of the freedom of
the seas when the British have many
days ago blockaded by mines the
coasts of Holland and Denmark =?
Never has President Wilson treated
Great Britain with even a semblance
of severity. Help for Great Britain
has always been his innermost
thought. He could have ended the
war by a stroke of the pen for the
violation Of neutrality without even
materially hurting Great Britain.
Honest recognition of submarine war
fare would have been his best course.
He failed to take advantage of the op-
portunity In his heart he sided with
|>the Entente and calls upon other neu-
trails to follow him. This ruse has
been small chance of success"
Germany Not to Blame.
The Neue Wiener Tageblatt says:
THE German government in it's note
