SUPREME TEST AT
HAND. SAYS JONES
Washington Senator Urges
Leadership in World Peace.

YAKIMA, Wash, July 4--The SUI
preme test OF American character Is at
hand, United States Senator Jones Of
July Grafton here.
I'VE will do an ignoble thing II We
refuse to Join our power and wealth with
the other peoples and Governments to
preserve the worlds peace" said he.
we are the people to save the world
from chaos. If We spurn our duty a
despairing world will sink into the arms
OF anarchy. Brutality and mob despot-
ism will overwhelm victor and van
vanquished. and II we escape shame will
haunt us through the years for our fail
ure to do in peace as our brave men did
in war.
we need give up nothing vital. We
but lend the support Of our power, in
fuence and counsel to suffering hum4n-
ity. ! believe we will be true in this
hour not only to real, genuine Amer.
icanism, but to those instincts of hu-
mainly that are broader than peoples or
races. The supreme test of this people
and our character Is at hand. How we
use 1t will determine our place in the
worlds annals in the centuries to come.
The use of our strength and power TO
promote the worlds peace Is not incon-
sistent with our intense Americanfsm
but rather In harmony with its spirit"
To meet the test. Senator Jones said.
America must have a unified people with
common language. common respect
for and obedience to law: with one nag.
with an equality OF opportunity at homo
and higher sense of the boon OF Amer
lean citizenship. The nation must also
rid itself, he added. OF "alien siackers"
who sought refuge behind their alien
birth from military service in the Amsr-
lean Army.
Senator Jones denounced those who
advocate the overthrow Of Government
by force. Ample means existed in the
country, he said, for the people to ex-
press their will, and the only limit upon
discussion or argument which he thought
should be placed in time of peace would
be against advocacy Of the overthrow OF
Government or change in it nv forcu

"DRAMA OF IDEAL" SEEN
Dazzling Fireworks Display
Follows Ceremonies at
Capitol Hill.
Special Despatch TO TIE Sun.

WASHINGTON, July "A hundred
thousand cheering citizens OF the great
republic, literally interspersed with al
lied and neutral foreign visitors
thronged Pennsylvania avenue to wit
ness the first worlo peace pageant in
which representatives of every nation
represented at Washington diplomat
ically participated For more than an
hour the brilliant line streamed down
the broad approach to the Capitol,
swung to the left at the peace monu-
ment." climbed Capitol Hill and massed
hundreds deep, with the classic facade of
the dwelling place OF democracy for its
background.
The military contingent, true to the
spirit of the occasion of world peace
was small but formed OF veterans OF the
great struggle and was commanded by
Major-Gen. Robert L. Billiard. 1t served
as the escort for gorgeous array of
floats deliberately and artistically de-
signed representing not only the nations
which bad engaged in the plotting out
OF the Hohenzollerns and Hapsburgs.
but those which had stood more or less
sympathetically at ease and looked on.
Holland. Denmark. Sweden, Norway and
Spain were in the pageant, as were the
countries of Central and South America,
nominal participants in the war.
In the lead OF the procession OF ma
lions came France
At intervals throughout the line there
were bands from the military and naval
posts about Washington. In the rear OF
all the foreign floats Uncle Sam, in COM
mand OF the ship OF state, directed a
concourse OF little and big Americans
busily practising the arts of peace with
ral M
after that came rank on rank OF women
war workers, War Camp Community
girls. Red Cross auxiliary workers and
brilliant company of Washington's
negro war workers with fine jazz band
led by trick drum major.
Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall
with their son Morrison Marshall wit
messed the parade from the Presidential
reviewing stand on the east front OF the
Capitol this afternoon. Others in the
party were representatives from foreign
nations represented in the parade.
The procession moved with extraordi-
nary promptness. True to schedule, the
great phalanx had assembled before the
eastern portals of the Capitol promptly
at $3.50. There In the first fading of
midsummer twilight there were enacted
FIVE elaborate tableaux. This spectacle
was described by its producers as the
"final drama Of world ideal" 1t was
exquisitely performed by richly cos
TUNED corps of pretty women.
Following the Capitol Hill ceremonies
the great procession disintegrated and
the participants and witnesses alike de-
parted for the White House grounds and
the vivid display of fireworks promised
by the promoters OF the great peace
Fourth of July, and they were not dis
aDnointed
