NO. 1953.
NEW YORK, May 13.—With Mayor
J. Purroy Mitchell, General Wood
and Rear Admiral Usher leading, a
preparedness parade twenty miles
long and in which marched one
hundred and fifty thousand people
was the feature of today’s life in the
metropolis.
The paraders also listened to
strong addresses urging upon the
people the necessity of preparing
against aggressive nations and the
vital noed of a great army and
navy.
The parade was held by army,
navy and civil officials, with the
above named filling first line of
marchers, platoons of soldiers, po
lice and sailors followed and then
vast marching crowds with many
bands at intervals playing martial
music. Innumerable banners with
preparedness and conscriptionist de
vices were intermingled with na
tlonal flags throughout the entire
length of the procession.
Magnificent May weather prevail
ed, clear with a strong if somewhat
cold wind, the sun shone down on
the marching thousands while the
streets were lined with cheering
masses in many sections.
It was notable however that the
throng that marched was an essen
tially well dressed and at times
evidently well appointed mass,
business men or clerks predominat
ing. A strong Roosevelt booster
placard carried In the middle of the
parade with a quotation from the
Colonel gave some political signi
ficance to the march, although the
promoters insist that there was an
elimination of all political divisions
in the demonstration.
The parade was twenty miles long,
exact measurement.
ACTIVE ARTILLERY ACTION
PROCEEDS NOW BALKANS
SALONIKA, May 15.—The artil
lery on the Bulgarian bordor is now
doing heavy duty and bombarding
all the Bulgar positions.
French aviators drove seven hund
red bombs over Xantia falling on thi
Bulgar hangers and barracks and do
ing terrific damage. Both places
were destroyed by fires that followed
fierce explosions and later airmen
report that the places are merely
charred ruins this evening.
LONDON, May 15.—What is re
garded a very important announce
ment was made today althougn
somewhat mysterious. The British
officials declare that the Allies have
reached a complete agreement with
Greece. What this may mean is
somewhat difficult to conjecture al
though inasmuch as Greece persist'
in her intention to maintain a rigid
neutrality it hardly means any active
co-operation with the Allies in a
land campaign in the Balkans.
BERLIN, May 15.—The Allies
have apparently completed prepara
tions for an active campaign in the
NO PEACE UNTIL TEUTONS
DEFEATED SAYS OFFICIAL
LONDON, May 13.—Samuel, the
British Home Secretary today de
clared that thero could be no
thought of peace until Germany is
decisively beaten. That might take
• y«ar, it might take two years, but
until that time there would be no
veaee proposals seriously entertained
by Great Britain or her alllee.
LONDON, May 13.—The state
ment made by the Home Secretary
relative to peace while commented
upon favorably in most of the pa
pers, in labor circles Is received with
much discontent.
DUBLIN, May 13.—Premier 4.8
qulth continues his daily conferences
with the authorities. The trial of
the few remaining ring leaders Is
proceeding rapidly. Several promi
nent business and professional men
accused of complicity have been ac
quitted lacking any direct evidence.
A striking feature of the revolt
has been that throughout practically
every Irish county recruiting has
ceased. Not a single man has
voluntoered to enlist.
LONDON, May 13.—The direct
effoct of the severity of tne court
martial in Dublin has been unfor
tunate. Reports show that universal
dissatisfaction is manifested through
out the United Kingdom, while espe
cially in Ireland discontent has
taken on ominous forms. The
habeas corpus act has been suspend
ed throughout all of Ireland indicat
ing that the conditions are growing
in seriousness.
In those sections of Great Britain
where are large Irish settlements,
the feeling is bitter beyond words.
Nothing has so estranged the Irish
sentiment as the severity now being
practiced with such ruthless rigor.
BRITISH FAIL RECAPTURE
TRENCHES LOST HULLACH
BERLIN, May 15.—All attempts
upon the part of the British forces
to re-capture the Hullach lines
which were gained on Friday have
proved In vain and the Allies were
repulsed every time with great
losses. The value of the lines from
a strategic point of view is enorm
ous.
NANCY, May 15.—President

The Homo of flood Bets.
Poincare speaking here today de
clared that Germany must esk for
peace, not merely tender to the Al
lies outlines for peace, but sue for it
as a defeated nation before there
will be any peace proposition enter
tained.
Poincare scorned the very notion ;
of Germany intimating through neu
tral powers any outline of the kind
of peace terms which would bo ac
ceptable!. He declares that the
Central Powers might as well make
up their mind that one side or an
other was going to be the victor and
one side had to say when they had
enough. All other ending for this
war would mean a compromise and
mean that a short time comparative
ly the same conditions would fend
the earth and those who died would
have died in vain. Poincare said
that that was an impossible thing
and the more he thought of the
brave eons of Prance who had given
their lives to free the republic from
the Prusfian menace the more and
more he felt it to be Impossible.

simultaneously they may attempt an
offensive on the east and west front
in order to prevent the Central Pow
ers from aiding Bulgarin. In this
event Turkish troops will co-operate
with the Bulgars to defeat the Al
lies.
The Turks can supply one hund
red and twenty-five thousand men.
SNIP WAS OVERLOADED
TESTIFY THE SURVIVORS
SAN LUIS OBISPO, May 13.—
The most startling testimony was
given today by the surviving sailors
from the 111 fated steamer Roanoke.
They bore witness to the fact that1
the Roanoke was over-loaded anu
that her beams had been sawed away
in order to increase the cargo room.
The evidonce is of such a sensa-1
tional nature that a full investiga
tion is likely to be ordered. Sailors
testified that other boats besides tho
Roanoke have been similarly dealt
with owing to the anxiety of the
owners to carry every available
pound of cargo while rates are so
high, as a collapse is said to be due
almost any time.
EUROPE ORDERS MUCH
CANNED MILK IN WEST
V
PORTLAND, Ore., May 14.—Can
ned milk is to be a luxury on the
Pacific Coast, Europe has ordered
no less than five million cases oC
canned mitk for belligerent nations.
The greater portion of this order
is to be filled along the Pacific
coast owing to eastern dairymen
being unable to fill foreign orders
on account of the domestic demand.
The price of canned milk is for
this reason expected to rise percept
ibly within a very short time. In
fact it has been climbing slowly for
the past month although this is not
due to any speculation or jobbing,
but on account of a heightened de
mand for the canneries products.
The milk is for immediate ship
ment.
WADA LOCATED SAFE
m iMEW YOHK SiT¥
LOS ANGELES, May 15.—The
suspected murder of Wada the Alas
kan miner and musher proved to he
foundationless. A police investiga
tion and tracers sent out to various
cities resulted in Wada being report
ed in New York city safe and well
and nothing wrong with him.
The Jap's disappearance is how
ever a mystery. No one seems to
understand how he left this city
where he had important business on
hand.
DOUAMONT REGION SCENE OF
FURTHER FIERCE FIGHTING
LONDON, May 13.—The Germans
are now waging the heaviest offen
sive that so far th'ey have yet carried
on against the Verdun defenses
making some gains in the vicinity
of Malancourt, and in their onset
upon the French positions on Dead
man’s Hill. They successfully broke
down the French countor attacks
and have practical control of the
east side of this eminence. Their
losses were huge.
BERLIN, May 13.—The ad
vance continues slowly on the east I
bank of the Mouse and bn the Ar-!
gonne where the French offensive
has collapsed with a vain smash
against the German lines of defense.
LONDON, May 13.—The gains
made by the Germans before Hul-‘
luch are described as of vital Import- 1
ance In the Daily Mall, which says 1
that these lines will have to be re- ^
taken regardless of cost.
They are endangering one of the
most Important positions held by the
British In the Flanders sections.
BERLIN, May 14.—The French
attempt upon the German grip on
Deadman’s hill came to grief today
when regiment after regiment failed
to drive through.
The French losses were enormous.

PRELIMINARY HEARING REGINS
IN ROGER CASEMENT TRIAL
LONDON, May 15.— Sir Roger
Casement was givon a preliminary
hearing today before being commit
ted to the Assizes for a trial for high
treason. The man appears care
worn and older than his pictures
would have led one to believe.
Very little except formalities were
gone through at the hearing.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—
A vigorous protest has been pre
pared against the British interfer
ence with neutral mails. The right
of Great Britain to search the parcel
post for contraband will be vigor
ously denied although the question
is admittedly a new one in interna
tional law.
Lansing is giving the note its
finishing touches and it is reported
that it will be much more vigorous
than any heretofore attempted to
Groat Britain. A prompt reply will
be demanded.
NEW YORK, May 15.—Gcrman
American papers grow ironical in
commenting upon the Washington
reports that the note to Groat Bri
tain relative to the search tor contra
band or other interference with the
mails on the part of that nation will
be an ultimatum. These papers say
that the press reporters forget that
ultimatums are only specially re
served for Germany and Austria.
It is freely stated here that the
note to Britain will be vigorous.

Judge Willis would not listen to
their statement that an agreoment
woe Impossible and refused to dis
charge them. He said that they

any further agreement. Willis has
been bitterly against the defendant.
