adversely to the Celestial City as The
parade, in which he was the centra
figure, passed the crowds that lineo
Fifth Avenue.
However dolorous Christians adven-
lures as expressed by the eleven
scenes on as many floats, the Christian
Endeavor delegates let not his moving
story affect their spirits. AS streamlet
after streamlet of marchers joined the
main stream In the avenue from the
rendezvous in side streets a new hymn
OF material music burst forth.
Liberty Has Right of Line
Up at the front of the proce ssion
moved float on which Liberty, facing
the thousands following in her train,
was esought by pleading Immigrants
with outstretched hands. This ex-
pressed the spirit Of citizenship, in the
name of which the parade was held.
Airhough comparisons were deserted by
the leaders of the parade, the thought
seemed oppermost that Liberty in this
parade stood for something different
from the sentiments 0f the personal
noerty marchers who had covered the
same ground six days before, when the
anti-drys turned out in protest against
the Eighteenth Amendment.
ne place OF honor was held bv the
Christian Endeavor delegates from Col
orado. Dressed in white, and with
white sunshades, they formed the frst
rank OF the marching host. Utah, Wv
oming and Texas followed in order. and
then came Kansas, with hats and par
asols IN the hue of the sunflower.

Bryan Raps Wet Paraders
Mr.. Bryan's first reference was to
the personal liberty parade of July 4.
ut has been said that this is not in
contrast with the parade that the CITY
witnessed on the Fourth of July" he
said. "That is true. 1t is not rivalry,
but il those people who carried em,,ty
bottles in that parade had just come
here they would have found the peo-
pie who emptied them.
sThey had cans" Mr. Bryan con-
tlnued, with cotton sticking out of
them to initiate foam. l am glad that
thei Southland has been able to fur
nssh product so much better than
foam that it can be used with entire
harmlessness. That parade represented
sunset, and whatever glow there was
was the glow of closing day. This
parade represents dawn, and it grows
brighter every moment"
Mr.. Bryan said there were two kinds |
OF peopie--those who got more than
they earned and those who earned
more than they got
''We have President TODAY who ;s
asChristian, and who believes in God. |
the Bible and the Son of God" he
aqded. Referring to President Hard |
lng's speech during his last visit to |
New York, Mr.. Bryan turned to the
subject of disarmament, saying that |
PRESIDENT Harding's words, with the |
phrase ut shall not occur again"
would stand beside the Gettysburg ad-
dress. He closed his address by sug-
gesting for a slogan the following:
Disarmament by agreement if pos
sible; by example if necessary"

last Thursday night that Great Britain

was no want among the people. The !
message was signed by Anne Pierce |
8 Nshton, secretary of Mary MacSwinev |
sister OF the late Lord Mayor of Corr |
who died as the result of hunear
strike IN Brixton Prison.
1T is unworthy of freedom lov;no
american citizens" the message said |
TO allow their churches to be used To |
support the oppression of nation in |
the interests of the tyrant empire from |
which they themselves separated |
claiming their right to government bv !
the consent of the governed, which |
right belongs TO Ireland"
DIR. Pollock remarked last night that |

land. but did not care to engage in a
