JOYOUS EASTER

The weather yesterday was ideal,
ard Easter was enjoyed by all clas-
ses. The churches, especially at the
morning services, were we!!-tlllea,
and the discourses Of the ministers
in the various chu.:.. appropriate
to the day, were greatly enjoyed
The Easter music was eXhilerating.
Conditions yesterday, compared
with those of the Easter of 1918
were striking.
When Easter came in last year,
on the last day OF stormy March,
. the malevolent power which msn-
aced the peace of the whole world
was approaching the height of its
final demonstration of ruthlessness.
The last drive of the Huns was
laundering at the gates Of Arras,
and the expressions of confidence
among the retreating Allies were
but whistling to keep the courage
up.
AS an exchange says, "the position
of those Easter days in the Lunar
calendar, even. was in keeping with
the cold and gloom of the earthly
fears that flied them. This year
the festival, coming unusually late,
was truly feast of flowers and Ct
light. for the earth reioices III its
. new birth and the sky is warm with
the genial sun. The weeks Of agony
and anxiety from Easter time CT
1918 until the great light began to
break in the late summer and early
fall were enc long Good Friday for
the world. The resurrection and the
life came yesterday. Jerusalem It
self. the Holy City where the sao-
lime drama commemorated yester-
day was enacted, has been wrested
from the inhdel. and upon its white
walls and shimmering towers sure
" the sun danced with JOY yester-
dav. This was beyond question the
most important Easter since the

Springfield. Ill, May 3.-Letters

the states and territories of the
United States, and to Canada, IN
viting them to appoint delegates to
the National Tax association. which
is to meet in@Chicago, June 10, Tor
the twelfth annual conference on
taxation. In recommending the ap-
pointment of delegates, and urging
their attendance, the invitation of
the Illinois governor says:
1T is suggested that delegates be
selected as far as possible from
among public officials whose duties
require them to deal directly with
the administration of tax laws or
who have a responsibility for legis-
lative proposals and persons who,
through study or occupation. are
familiar with and actively interest
ed in taxation and tax reform This
is important, because under the
constitution of the National Tax AS
sociation, only duly appointed and
accredited delegates may vote upon
resolutions. although the confer
ence is open to all for discussion
and debate"

NEW YORK PUTS
ON BIG PARADE
TO BOOST LOAN
u. S. War Marvels Dis
played-Total Sales
81, SIS, 600, ,00O.

New York, May 3.-One of the
most novel and spectacular par
ades ever held on Fifth avenue, a
panorama of Victory" was staged
by the army in the interest of the
Victory loan today.
For more than four hours, over
five miles of march, there was un-
folded an ever-changing. vivid pic
ture of the marvels of the mighty
American army raised to help van
quish Germany. Every branch of
the military service, from the front
line fighters to the organizations
that looked after nealth, food, wea-
pOns and transportation, were rep
resented.
Brings War to People.
Scores of tanks crawled over the
asphalt Squadrons of airplanes
and giant dirigibles followed the
procession overhead. the drum of
their motors drowning the music of
s bands. The fire and smoke of
the battlefield, the wall of sirens,
and shattering, ear-splitting explo-
sions of bombs, hand grenades and
guns brought a sense of the grim
reality of war.
The parade, ordered by the war
department to arouse enthusiasm
in the Victory loan campaign, also
was designed to show exactly how
the money invested in previous Lib
erty loans was expended, and to
L,
loan that the war bills incurred in
the final days of the conflict were
necessary.
Loan Sales Climb Slowly.
Washington, May 3-Total sub
scriptions to the Victory Liberty
loan today passed $1,575 900 600.
The treasury renewed its appeal to
loan organizations to perfect their
salesmanship plans for, house to
house canvasses the last week of
the campaign.
Reports to the army Victory loan
Office from demobilizing camps in
dicate. that many men as they are
discharged from service are invest
ing their $50 bonus checks in Lib
erty notes. In former loans the
army has subscribed to more than
$205, 100000 in bonds, says the de-
partment, and although the person
mel has been reduced by half, indi-
cations are that the per capita sub
scriptions to the present loan will
be greater than in any others.
