REPRESENTATIVE OF CITY ILLEGAL CORPS ENLISTS

George Lewis Bailes. assistant city attorney. who has signified by his joining the officers reserve corps Fort McPherson, Ga. for which place he will leave early next week, believes that the unequivocal entrance of the United States into the present war; war in which America has declared to "spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth ana happiness and the peace which she has treasured" makes the call to service just as real and just as imperative, though not so apparent. IS if Germany were attempting to land her troops upon American shores. MT. Bailes says that he believes that out of the multi tude of duties which present them selves, and there are many requiring the work of many men right here at home to take care of the peoples busi ness, that to men without families and dependents there is only one choice. and that they cannot choose but go.

Ferment Among Hungarian Working Classes Serious

Copenhagen, May 6.-(Via London ) The ferment among the Hungarian working classes caused by Premier Count Tisza's refusal of an effective reform of the franchise is far more serious than appeared in the censored telegraphic account of Wednesday, s demonstrative strike. All the Budapest factories. it now is learned, were ther closed. A resolution was presented by the workmen after the closing which demanded in the firmest of language a liberal electoral reform. If the a. swer was delayed or unfavorable it was announced the workmen were de- termined through a general strike u compel the government to yield.
 The discipline among the work on was shown by the strict adherence .o the hour for the stoppage of labor fixed by their leaders.

British and French Commits sions May Make Visit
 on Same Day
$1OO,OOO TO BE SPENT
 IN ENTERTAINMENT
Street Decorations Will Be Most Bril- liant Ever Seen in New York. Parade Idea May Be
 Abandoned
By HOLLAND

New York, May Especial )--This morning the committee that is ar ranging for the reception in New York of the British and French commis- sions, received an unsolicited check committee understood we'll why MT Belmont should have been persuaded to make so large & contribution as that. Had the purposed reception been simply a sentimental and spectacular occasion, no large subscription would have been needed, nor would the city have appropriated $5o.000 for the ex- penses of the reception. MT. Belmont's s subscription reflects the purpose which lies behind the visit.
 Brilliant as will be the spectacle, nevertheless behind it will be the visi- ble suggestion of grim war. It is not possible for the committee to furnish detailed information respecting the re- ception, since 1t must wait for advices from Washington. The committee today does not know when the commission will visit New York. although it will be at an early date, and there is some doubt whether both the French and the English commissions come at the same time.
 The decorations for which the com mittee is now arranging will furnish, when completed, the most brilliant dis play that the citizens of New York have ever witnessed There is no cen sorship over the decoration details Therefore, it is possible to report that at the Battery--the lower end of New York-there will be so great a dis play of English flags, bunting and colors, as almost to conceal the park itself
 Farther up Broadway, at Union square, another display of bunting and flags unparellelad in the history of that square, will be made, and these will in part consist of the French col- ors Madison square, a few blocks north, will also be lavishly decorated with flags and bunting and other sym bols and especial attention is to be given to the statue of Admiral Far ragut Grants tomb, which the com mission will visit will also be decor ated, and in addition to that, portions of Central park, and especially the Plaza, which is at the southern en- trance to the park, will be made bril- liant by the display of colors repre- sentative of the various nations that are now in alliance. Of course, there will be many private displays, so that the city will be one mass of bunting and flags.
 Nevertheless. there will be constant

speedily as possible in order to aid 1 the allies in Europe.
 Limitations have come from Wash ington that some apprehension has prevailed lest the American people be persuaded that the war is speedily to be ended and therefore there is no special need of energy and prepara- ton. Instead of that view, 1t is the be- lief of the administration in Washing ton and of both the English and the French commission, that the American people should be prepared for a long war, although it is possible that it may end more speedily than now appears ito be likely.
 l The visit of the British and French comm ssion to the United States is of itself regarded by those who are in I high authority, and by those in this 1 city who have the confidence of the men who are in high authority, as suf : fcient proof that the commission is persuaded that the probability that the war will be continued a year or more l is greater than the possibility that it will be ended within a few months. For that reason they will establish perfect cooperation with the adminis- tration and they hope with the Amer ican people to the end that the war may be more speedily brought to a ter mination with the triumph of the prin-
 
 sible if the United States maintain ed a sort of negative relation as an ally to the great struggle. This is the real meaning of the visit of the British and French commission to New York and to other cities.
 The committee has received offers from six or eight citizens of New York whose private homes compare with any | of the great and luxurious private homes of Europe These citizens offer their homes and the services of their servants to the commission in case they prefer to be at home in private house rather than at a hotel. Charles M Schwab has offered his great house, so also has Henry c. Prick and one of the Vanderbilt homes has also been of l fered. There can be, however, no oc- jceptance of the invitation until the icommittee learns what the preference 1 of the commissions is.

 to explain to the, city commission just

 the city: T wish these people would come and talk with me; my door is open, and am willing to talk to them for l am just as human as they are, and 1 believe that I can do more for Birming- ham by direct contact with the citizens than by being forced to do something by the city commission, regardless of the practical, logical, reasonable thing that

 One would naturally like to see that mans mouth open, and hear the tone of his conversation, for remark like that takes the starch out of the curb stone orators who dwell past the last car at night, upon the soulless corpora tions and then cuss the system because he has to walk home. MT. Pevear im- presses you as man chock full of humanisms, and the following story is submitted as proof of the statement. Mr. Pevear told this one to Commis- sioner Truss
 "l was down on Shoa1 creek, where I met an old engineer who had been on that short line for years and years. He lost heavy silver watch one day, the antiquated timepiece dropping out of his pocket as the train passed over the creek. He did not have time to stop and drag the creek for the old
 biscuit so he forgot it, and bought that, a man was wading the creek and his foot struck something that caused him to reach down and pick 1t up. 1t was the old engineers watch, and had his name on it, so there was no mistake about the owner The watch was still running"
 And you say that watch had been lost three years said Commissioner Truss, reaching for his hat.
 Yes, sir it had been lost three years" seriously replied MT. Pevear. Well, I don't believe it, and you will have to show me the watch that will run three years without winding, replied MT. Truss, equally as serious. 'It was this way explained MT Pevear, "the watch fell between two stones on the bottom of the creek, and as the swiftly moving current con stantly wended it's way down the stream. the watch was wound by the current, as the stem happened to be sticking up"
 That story has the strongest come back that I ever heard, and&ft should take the prize on it's rebound,' said MT Truss, as he beat a hasty retreat MT Truss had told story previous | ly. which related to dog that was smart enough to take the old quilt that he was allowed to use as bed, out into the sunshine every morning, where it would be exposed to the sun every day. At night, according to MT
 Truss, this dog would go out in the yard and bring his quilt in, and pre- pare his bed for the night. And MT. Truss was honest in believeing that he
 had seen this dog perform this feat with his own eyes.
