SUNDAY SCHOOL PARADE AND
GO-TO-SUNDAY-SCH00L DAY

The Sunday school parade held here
Saturday was great success and 1t
is estimated that 500 people-~men,
women, boys and girls-took part in
the procession. There were also
about so automobiles in line under the
direction of the marshals, Messrs. w.
#. Bringle, George A Sanford and
yCol. w. A. Owen The parade was as
sembled at the grammar school build
ing and marched through the prinel-
pal streets of the city with flags fly
ing. 1t was a great sight indeed, to
behold.
This parade was in preparation for
the Go-to-Sunday-S day that had
been set for the following day-EastA
er Sunday-by Gov. Rye. Notwith-
standing the fact that Sunday was
dark, rainy and unusually cold day for
the season, there was an attendance
of 963 people at the various Sunday
schools of the city, divided as follows:
First Methodist church, 1858; First
Presbyterian, 2S9: First Baptist, ~;
A. R. P. church, Sc; Christian, ~;
Second Methodist, So; Presbyterian
Church, u. S. A., 81; Episcopalian, r.
It may be truly said that both the
.parade and the Sunday school day
were most successful and that moth
ng like it was ever seen here before,
though the attendance at the varl-
rs Sunday schools would have been
4uch larger had not the weather been
. very bad.

For several nights prior to the In

GERMANS O. X. PLOT
REIcHsTAG COMMITTEE REGRETS
U. S. INTERCEPTED NOTE.
Body UnequivocaIly Endorses Action
of Foreign Office by Unani-
nous Vote.

Berlin, March THE expected criti-
cism of the governments ill-starred
German-MeXican project failed to ma
terialize in the session of the reichstag
budget committee. After an execu-
tive sitting of six hours, the commit
tee unequivocally Endorsed the action
of the foreign office by unanimous vote.
The governments effort to negotiate
an alliance in the event of war with
the United States was approved as be-
ing within the legitimate scope of mill
tary precautions. The committee ex-
pressed regrets at the misfortune
which resulted in the interrogation of
Foreign Secretary Zimmermann's note.
Responsibility for its loss cannot be
fixed until Former Ambassador Won
Bernstorff arrives from the United
States.
The American secret service is in
possession of the special secret code
used by the German foreign Office.
This was the only inference left by
DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, secretary of
state for foreign affairs, in his de-
Tense before the reichstag's budget
committee of the now famous KAISER
Mikado-Carranza plot"
"How the Americans came into pos
session of the text which went to
America in special secret code we do
not know" he told the committee.
Previously Doctor Zimmerman had
stated positively that 'the treachery-
and it must have been a treachery-
evidently was committed on American
territory"
Romance, adventure, revenge, blum
dering; persuasion by gold, honor or
woman's beauty-which of these ele-
ments played the leading role in the
dream of "the lost plot?" The natur-
ally romantic German mind is greatly
puzzled by this question. Editors in
dulge in voluminous speculation. Theo-
dor Wolff, in his influential Berliner
Tageblatt, comes to the conclusion
that:
1--WE can quietly say that ne jewel
lin and Mexico City,"
Doctor Zimmerman himself sticks
to his original plea that the plot was
"a natural and justified precaution."
It's discovery is, indeed, n "misfor-
tune" the doctor said in his speech to
the reichstag committee. But as a
sort of afterthought he added:
81 am not sorry that through its
publication in America, 1t also became
known in Japan"
BY inuendo the foreign secretary,
who up to his appearance before the
political leaders had carefully re-
Trained from any reference to Japan,
thus let 1t be known that he has by
no means given up hopes that the seed
he sowed will fall upon fertile ground
in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Details of the budget committee
meeting began to leak out early. Apart
from the points outlined above, there
was little new news"
