Many Posts Will Parade 10
Madison Square Garden
Tomorrow Night for Big
American Mass Meeting
Overflow Gatherings May
BE Held Outside The Hall:
County Organization Will
Meet Next Wednesday

Indications are that the demonstra-
tion of loyalty planned for tomorrow
evening at Madison Square Garden,
when an all-Amcrican mass meeting il
to be held under the auspices of the
American Legion, will produce addi-
tional features equally as entertaining
as those scheduled to take place inside
the amphitheatcr.
To begin with, most of the posts
of the city are not going to be con-
tent with merely going to the Garden
and joining in demonstration there
They propose to make their attitude
toward pro-anything alien doubly clear
by parading to the meeting, with ban
ners flying and bands playing.
One of the largest Of these process
sions will form in front of the Pub
lie Library, at Fortysecond Street and
Fifth Avenue. 1t will be escorted by
six mounted policemen and the navy
band. Manhattan Naval Post started
the movement and this unit of
the Legion will be Joined by several
others, including Barbara Frietchie,
Murray Hill and Lexington POSTS. All
Americans, Legionnaires or not, are
invited to join in the parade.
In all other sections of the city such
paradcs will organize, and it now ap-
pears as though several overflow meet
ings will have to be held.
Tank Corps Post will form at 1T
West Forty-sixth Street at 6 O'Clock
and at 6:15 James S. Slosson Post
and other Staten Island units will
meet at South Ferry.

DEMAND ON SOVIET
United States Requests Ameri-
can Prisoners Be Liberated.
Is Regarded as a Condition for
American Relief.

Washington, July 27.-FormaI de-
mand for release of American prison
ers in Russia has been llade on the
soviet authorities by Secretary Hughes.
The state department was advised to-
day that the communication had been
handed to the soviet representative at
ReYal yesterday by Consul Albrecht.
The text of the communication has
not been made public. 1t is under
stood, however, to be a brief insistence
that the Americans be released before
there can be any thought of better
relations between the United States
and Russia. The action was taken in
the name of humanity and because all
efforts TO secure the release of the
Americans, made thru Doctor Nansen
of the Red Cross, have failed.
The United States course II the
soviet authorities ignore the demand
was not indicated.
Is RELIEF Condition.
The dispatch of the communication
was timed SO it would reach the Rus
slams at approximately the same time
as a message sent by Secretary Hoover
in response to the appeal made by
Maxim Gorky.
Tho messages are regarded officially
as wholly independent.
There are now held as prisoners in
Russia eight or ten Americans. large
number is believed to be detained
within the borders OF Russia, some Of
whom are restricted to limited areas.
Within those areas they are permitted
to come and go, but always under
surveillance and with the understand
ing that efforts to extend their move
ments Will result In closer confine-
ment.
Riga. July 27.-The demand of Sec
retary Hughes reads:
I'm the name of humanity, the
American government demands of the
soviet authorities that American
prisoners be at once released. 1t
manifestly is impossible for the Ameri-
can authorities to countenance meas
ures for relief of the distress in Rus
sia while our citizens are detained"

his colleagues have not yet found a

question in London but are continuing
to search for a common ground on
which the contending parties can meet.

ter here today.
Will Safeguard Soldiers.
London. July 27.-The British gov
ernment has taken careful precaution
to safeguard the lives of crown forces
in Ireland If the armistice is sudden
ly broken off, Austen Chamberlain,
spokesman for the British government
announced in the house of commons
this afternoon.
The declaration was made in reply
to a question by Lieut.. Archer Shee.
a coalition unionist.
With the Sinn Fein cnieftains con-
ferring among themselves in secret at
Dublin, the opinion was advanced in
semi-official circles today that Pre-
mier Lloyd George will not receive a
EamOnn de Valers until Friday.
1t will then be necessary to COM
municate with the unionist govern
ment at Belfast.
To Farley in August.
If conditions are such that a gen.
eral Irish peace parley can be held in
London, 1t probably will open during
the first ten days of August. De Va
lera, Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins
and the other members of the Sim
Fein cabinet at Dublin, Who have con-
ferring daily since Sunday. have main
tanned the utmost secrecy and have
given no intimation as to their de-
ciSion.
If the negotiations work out to a
satisfactory conclusion and the gen.
eral peace parley is held to work out
a final agreement upon the basis of
dominion home rule for Ireland. it is
probable that parliament will take the
month Of December to debate and rati-
fy the solution.
Differences between the Republican
and British military staffs in Ireland
have been arranged satisfactorily and
ireland in enjoying real tranquility for
the first time in many months.
