Ihirty~F our Nations Will Be
Represented in Loyalty Parade
Gory-Indan Braves Will Do a War
Dance Up Fifth Avenue

ltallans, Hungariars and peoples of
thlrty-two other nations forgot ancient
Misunderstanding and feuds yesterday
and got together as Americans to make
plans for marching in the great loyalty
parade on July Fourth.
The difficulties which have been
growing, chiefly between naturalized
Italians and Hungarians, were settled
at an international luncheon at the
Bankers Club, at which all groups
were represented.
eve are all of US perfectly satisfied
now," said Brigader General George
r. Dyer, grand marshal, after the peace
luncheon.
"The parade will be the greatest
demonstration Of inter-racial sentiment
the world has ever seen. All groups
will march as we planned in the be-
ginning"
The Hungarian display will represent
three periods in the nations fight for
freedom. Two hundred men in the an
cient Magyar costume and 1000 women
in the variegated dress of the country
will have their place in line. The di-
vision will be led by a "banderium" of
horse, recalling an old Hungarian
feudal army. The Italian floats are of
a newer and more modern world, the
pictures of Washington, Jefferson and
other famous Americans being con-
spicuously shown.
A recently conceived feature of the
parade is to be presented by tribes of
American Indians Cra ~ +ha I'm
portant divisions will be headed by
Chief Sheet Lightning of the Fox and
Sac tribes in full war panoply. A
group of braves from the Onondaga
Reservation, all of whom claim to be
native born citizens, will prove their
patriotism with a war dance up Fifth
Avenue. This will be the first occasion

Bought Food to End
Reign of Prohteers.
Is Days Defence
Commissioner of Markets
Says Sales to Poor Covered
All Expenditures Made

The Rev. Jonathan c. Day, Commits
s'oner Of Markets, set forth at length
yesterday in an affidavit filed in the
Supreme Court the work of his de-
partment in acting for the relief Of
the poor by enabling them to buy food
stuffs at prices lower than asked by
merchants. He said:
"A situation brought about bv the
war, or claimed to be by some dishon-
est and sslf-seeking market operators,
convinced me that a carefully con-
cocted scheme had been inaugurated by
venders to initiate prices of foodstuffs
and fuel. They did and would con-
tinue to make the purchase of these
recessaries Of life impossible. because
OF the prohibitive prices demanded for
them"
Answers Taxpayers Charge
The statement of Commissioner Day
was made in a proceeding brought by
the West Side Taxpayers Association,
who complained that he was using his
department as private grocery store.
Mr.. Day was to be examined in this pro.
ceeding yesterday, but obtained a stay,
on which Justice MuIIan will hear areu-
ment on Monday. r..
"Commissioner Day may be very
charitably inclined minister" said for
mer Senator William M. Bennett, coun-
sci for the association, "but he should
obey the law like the head of every
other department. Commissioner Days
affidavit states that he opened an ac-
count in the Irving National Bank and
has drawn checks himself to pay for
his purchases. No other employe, not
even the Mayor, has the right to draw
checks for the city except the City
Chamberlain"
Commissioner Day said in his afi-
davit:
II assumed my duties in the severest
Of winter weather. Fuel was at that
time for the most part unavailable to
rich or to poor. The misery of the poor
was almost unspeakahle. The contem-
plation OF having an extra burden, I
may say torture, by not being able
to- buy food except at extortionate
prices filed them with the darkest
foreboding. 1t was made notorious by
the public prints, at that time, that the
poor people and those working in their
behalf. were assembling at the City
Hall, beseeching help in their extremi-
ty. So l went to work to relieve the
situation as best could, in this way"
Had Ho0ver's Sanction
Commissioner Day said that he
visited Food Administrator Hoover at
Washington, who urged him to act
promptly in procuring food for the
poor, especially so that riots might
be averted and no opportunity afforded
for aid or comfort to the worlds en-
cmy."
In answer to the allegation that he
purchased food supplies on behalf of
the city before the appropriation of
$4,000 for such purpose was made,
Commissioner Day explained that the
supplies were paid for from the pro
ceeds Of their sale. Commissioner Day
added that the money appropriated by
the city has been put in trust fund
and that he has given a bond of $780,
900 for it's faithful handling.

Mrs. Heath Defes
Attorney General;
Refuses to Resign
Demands That He Begin
Action Against House
wives League

If Attorney General Merton e. Lewis
thinks Mrs. Julian Heath is going to
resign from the National Housewives
League because he asked her to he is
mistaken. Mrs. Heath has written him
to that effect. At her office, at <o5
Lexington Avenue, yesterday she sup
plemented her letter with this com
ment:
II defy him to begin any action
against the league for any Of its acts,
and I demand that he begin his threat
ened action against me immediately, so
the result can be known before the
state primaries. I want the housewives
of New York State to know where Mr..
Lewis stands on the question of pure
food and honest advertising"
An action brought December 20, 1915.
against the league on charges that It
indorsed products in exchange for ad-
vertising in "Housewives' Magazine"
has been revived by the present At
torney General, although dropped by
his predecessor in Office.
Frank C. Mckinney, who appeared as
attorney tor the complainant in the
name of Florence Yokum, former
member of the National Housewives'
League, has been appointed special
prosecutor by Mr.. Lewis.
Last night E. F.. Tompkins, general
manager of Housewives Magazine"
sent to Attorney General Lewis at AL
bany q letter, in which he wrote:
"The league has been entirely blame
less in its transactions, otherwise it
would be your duty to proceed against
the league. Your report finds that the
officer who carried on these blameless
transactions for the league should be
removed from Office. In other words,
the acts are all right, but the person
performing these acts was not. I am
forced to the conclusion that you and
your deputy, Mr.. Fisher, have been
grossly imposed upon by some person
on whom you relied for information.
Your own report indicates that most of
your information came from Frank c.
Mckinney, the lawyer who began the
action and has now been delegated Of
fcially to represent your Office"
women in New Jersey are interested in
the case, including Mrs. Annie Nathan
Meyer. Mrs. Glenrose B. Carroway, for
ner member of the executive committee
Of the league, and Mrs. Helen E. March,
of Montclair.
"My own interest is entirely that of
the public" he said. III have not re-
ceived one cent Tor services or ex-
penses since the beginning of the pro-
ceedings in 1915"

Higher Railroad Rates.

It was inevitable that freight and
passenger rates should be increased,
to make provision for the railroad
wage increases and large allotments
for betterments lately granted. Conse-
uently the announcement that Director
General McAdoo has ordered . gen
eral advance in fares and freight tar
ifs is in no sense surprising. Roughly
speaking, the rate increases will about
pay for the betterments, yielding ap-
proximately 5000, 100000 year. This,
however, is not satisfactory basis Of
calculation, as these betterments are
in many respects Of capital nature
and not in the line Of current main
tenance. The wage increases just
granted will total, it is estimated, about
$500, ,000, 900, or about one-third Of the
increased revenues Of the railroads un-
der the new rate scales Thus the best
way to state the case 10 that the in.
creased rates will pay the additional cost
n wages, leaving balance equal to two
thirds Of the present allowance made
for Improvements. But there are other
items Of increased cost in direct main
tena1ce Of the railroads than labor.
Fuel and all materials have advanced
in price. The increased fuel bill is
not definitely stated, but it is known
to be an immense figure.
This increasing Of the passenger and
freight rates is in the way Of q guar
antee that government control is not
designed to be in any sense or degree
eonfscatory Of the property rights Of
the railroad owners. Reasonable profits
are still to be assured. Naturally and
inevitably the public must pay. But
the public is now guaranteed an equi-
table relation between the cost to it
of railroad service and the cost to the
railroads, a relation that did not al
ways exist before the government be-
gan. to exercise regulation, first through
The interstate commerce act, and sub.
sequently a. . measure Of war neces-
sity.

Lightning-Tr -Trained'' Americans.

Gghtn1ng.Tralned" Americans.
Having been disappointed in their
hope that the submarines would keep
the American forces out Of Franco in
sufficient numbers to become q factor
in the war, the Germans are now try
ing to bolster up the courage Of their
people by casting doubt upon the quail
ity Of the men we are putting over
seas. The North German Gazette Of
Berlin says, regarding the American
"hordes training in the French camps:
"Fresh reinforcements are mean.
while maturing in our recruiting depots
behind the front, and We will wait and
see whether tho lightning-tfained Yam
kee will hold his own against the Ger
man lads who have military training
from their youth"
Thus far, according to all reports,
the @lightning-trained" Americans
seem to have proved quite match for
the German lads" In every respect
Of the fighting, unless the accounts are
totally untrustworthy, these newly
made soldiers Of ours have more than
held their own. There IL not in the
records q single case Of quitting or
weakening under IRE. For ingenuity
and initiative. for spsed Of action and
intelligence the American troops havs
won the praises Of the British and
french sem4andsre In highest tssws,
