Preparedness Parade For
Chicago to Be Big Event
CHICAGO, June 2.—Chicago’s great
parade in the interest of Prepared
ness, which will take place on Satur
day, June 3, will usher in seven days
that ,it is estimated, will make Chi
cago she entertainer of the greatest
crowd of visitors it has ever taken
care of and which will fill hotels and
lodging houses as has not been done
since the World’s Columbian Exposi
tion of 1893.
After the Preparedness parade, in
which 150,000 persons are expected to
take part, will come various conven
tions. On Monday, June 5, the nation
al convention of women suffragists
will meet for a three-day session at
the Blackstone Theatre, and two days
later the Progressives National Con
vention will meet at the Auditorium
and the Republican National Conven
tion at the Coliseum.
How to house all the visitors ex
pected is a problem which has been
puzzling Mayor Thompson's entertain
ment committee of 200 citizens. The
committee has been busy supervising
the situation and has made lists of
hotels and private boarding houses
where the city’s visitors may be ac
commodated. Most of the down-town
hotels already have disposed of their
quarters, and the smaller and outlying
hotels are being canvassed also.
One large lake excursion steamer
will become a temporary lodging
house and it is expected that many
Pullman cars will be drawn into ser
vice while the crowds fill the city.

use of their automobiles for entertain
ment of Chicago’s guests and many
private homes will take care of the
city’s visitors.
Mayoi; Thompson, personally in
charge of the general entertainment
plans, will assist his committee to
prepare a series of amusements which
include dances, theatre parties, auto
mobile races, automobile tours of the
city and its environs, motorboat races,
including an exhibition of .the prowess
of James A. Pugh’s famous hydro
plane, Disturber IV., said to be the
speediest motorboat in the world, and
daily sailing raecs between fast
yachts.
There will also be drills by police
and firemen from some of the crack
squads of Chicago, and rough-riding
and roping exhibitions by cowboys
from the Chicago Union Stockyards,
all these exhibitions taking place at
Grant Park.
Daily lake excursions will be given
and one interesting feature of them
will be visits to and detailed inspec
tion of the new Chicago Municipal
Pier ,now almost completed at a cost
of about $5,000,000 and combining, in
a unique way, facilities for passenger
and freight traffic and equipment for
amusements, such as dancing and con
certs, or for the more serious purposes
ci conventions, lectures and confer
ences.
For the sportsmen, golf tournaments
have been arranged to take place on
the five public courses and on the
links of various country clubs, and in
connection with the recreation on the
Enks there will be given, after the
games, various receptions, luncheons
and dances at club houses.
Discussing the forthcoming influx
of visitors, Mayor Thompson, who has
taken a lively interest in the affairs
. that will mark the stay of the strang
ers within Chicago’s gates, said:
“When I appeared before the Repub-
L lican National Committee in Washing
. ton last winter I promised that if the
, Republican convention were awarded
to Chicago we would entertain our
visitors on a scale never before under
taken by an American city. Chicago
is going to ‘make good,’ convention
week, and will keep every promise
made.”
W. W. Durham, chairman of the
committees, has appointed a sub-com
mittee to supervise the entertainment
of visiting delegates from every state
in the union.

POPE HUD NIGHT
*
EISTER SERVICE
AT FRONT WITH THE RUS
SIAN ARMY.—Under a small tent
dimly lit by candles, a mile from the
firing line, a Russian Pope conducted
a midnight Easter service to the ac
companiment of an occasional cannon
shot and the intermittent glare of Aus
trian rockets. It rained, and the sol
emn-faced soldiers who stood with
bowed heads before the improvised
altar were drenched. The green and
gold robe of the prelate contrasted
strangely with the dun of the uni
forms and the black and white gowns
o' a half dozen Sisters of Mercy who
stood huddled in the doorway of an
adjacent cottage.
Around the Pope’s neck was sus
pended a crucifix upon a ribbon of
the Order of St. George, awarded for
service on the battlefield. Now and
then the chanted words of the service
were partially drowned by the splash-,
ing and groaning of guns and ammuni
tion-carts lumbering through the
heavy mud; but even the teamsters
seemed impressed by the solemnity of
the hour and urged on their struggling
beasts in subdued tones. Six rough
soldiers composed the choir which as
sisted in the service, their voices
blending with the rising and falling
tones of the Pope.
All evening long Austrian rockets in
greater numbers than usual pierced
the blackness. Out in trenches each
little group of soldiers was having its
own little celebration of this greatest
of all Russian holidays. The lights
from their candles apparently had
aroused the suspicions of the enemy,
whose trenches as far as the eye could
reach were at this hour aglow at in
tervals under their calcium bombs.
Finally under his dripping tent the
Pope turned to his rainec-soaxed
troopers, elevated the crucifix and
shouted: “Christ has risen.” Murmurs
of response ran along the line and was
echoed by the whfte-faced sisters, “He
has indeed risen.’’
GERMANS EMPLOY WOMEN
TO VERY CHEAT EXTENT 1
ZURICH, Switzerland June 2.—The
extent to which Germany is employ
ing women in occupation hitherto '
monopolized by men may be seen from
an official report just published by’
the women workers in the metals
trades in the important districts o!
tl.e Rhinelands and Westphalia. This
document is declared to afford the first
reliable and complete testimony re
garding this subject.
Before the war there were in these
districts 227 factories employing al
tcbether 10,150 women. On the Ist of
August, 1915, there were 570 factories
and 42,270 women employes. Out of
39 factory districts there -were only
two in which no women were working.
In factories engaged in supplying
the needs of the armies the number of
women employes increased from 3,500
to 28,0000. Women everywhere are
found performing the most severe
physical labors, where they must
prove their proficiency or run the risk
of terrible accidents. That they have
become proficient seems apparent from
the fact that only 57 cases of women
being injured at work were recorded
throughout 1915.
Seventy-five per cent of the women
work ten hours a ddy or more, and
their wages vary from two and a half
to eighteen cents an hour.
Most employers refuse to recognize
the principle of equal pay for equal
work. The question was raised in 277
factories and only 105 of the employ
ers yielded and agreed to pay the wo
men the same rates as the men. In all
. other works the women receive
from forty to ninety per cent, of the
rate of pay given to the men.
