for the big Red Cross pageant are now under way on a most elaborate scale. Next Saturday afternoon will be a half holiday and the entire city will participate in one way or another in the big Red Cross affair. William c. Hungerford is chairman of the com- mittee on arranging for the pageant, and his associates are E.x-Mayor Jo- seph M. Halloran, George K. Maca u- ley, Howard l.. Platt. H. $. Tallard and Ernest N. Humphrey. The idea of parade is to make it a strictly military and Red Cross affair, and the sign of the Red Cross will predomi- nate everywhere. Mr. Hungerford re- ports that already about 30 factories have signified their intention of fur nishing floats symbolizing Red Cross work, and these floats will be followed by girls dressed alike with the Red Cross conspicuous on their costumes.
 Patriotic Women Will March.
 The special feature of the parade which will make it more unique than any previously held in the city will be the number of women who will par ticipate. Mrs. A. c. McKinnie is chair man of the women's committee, ana today she issued an appeal for every patriotic woman in New Britain to participate in the monster demonstra- ton. Every woman who will respond to this appeal is requested to send in her name to the Red Cross headquar- ters on Court street before Tuesday at 12 m. Mrs. McKinnie will be there and the names may be teephoned in by calling up the Red Cross headquar ters-2O06-2. The women will wear white with the Red Cross on their cos tunes. There is no age limit whatever upon the women who will participate, the only qualification being that every patriotic woman is invited to turn out All names must be in by Tuesday noon, as it is necessary to report to Chair man Hungerford the number of Wom en who can be depended upon to show their patriotism in this fashion.

HUNS Offer PEACE
PROPOSAL TO SPAIN
SOCIALIST PAPER MAKES BID
FOR THE PAclFISTS-WANTS
ROUND TABLE CONFERENCE.

Amsterdam. - Germany has made
suggestions for a peace conference to
the Spanish government, says the so
cialist Vorwaerts Of Berlin.
The suggestions are:
"First-Germany wants no annexa-
tons or indemnities in the west.
"Second-The peace treaties with
Russia and Roumania may not be
questioned.
"Third-The principle of selfdeter-
mination of peoples has not been dis
cussed but may be settled at the peace
conference where the fate of Belgium
also is to be settled.
Fourth - The Balkan question is
to be settled around the conference
table.
"Fifth-The freedom of the seas.
the dismantling of Gibraltar and the
Suez canal and the right for Ger
many to use coaling stations.
"Sixth-The colonial question is to
be settled on the basis of the status
quo"
The Vorwearts considers this a
very reasonable peace programme.
The term status quo" applied in
the foregoing to the German colonial
question has been rather loosely used
In the past in connection with the So
luton Of various problems. In gen
eral it has been employees as as an
abbreviation of the term status quo
ante bellum."
Germany's position heretofore, as
indicated by her leading statesmen,
has been one Of insistence upon the
return Of her colonies, and there has
been nothing in the recent utter
ances of the German leaders tending
to show that this attitude had been
changed. 1t was even indicted that
the pawn" held by Germany in the
shope OF Belgium was intended to
be used to secure the giving back OF
her former colonial possessions.
