BOSTON, May Boston, whose minute men so annoyed the pacifists of 1775, and Which is the birth place of the American doctrine of get-ready, is holding its preparedness parade today. More than 60,000 men and.

women will be in line, parading through narrow streets that once echoed the footfalls of the men in homespun who fell in the Boton massacre, wtio fired from the redoubts of Bunker Hill and who went to the aid of the farmers at Lexington and Concord. Lieutenant Colonel Beaumont B. Buck, U. S. is the- chief marshal, with Major William J.

Keville 'of the fighting eighth, as chief of staff. Every member of the house of representatives and the senate will march today, as will many high officials of the Bay State. Members of every profession in the Hub will be in line, Including hundreds of prominent lawyers, lead by Samuel J. Elder. The new Harvard regiment, 1,100 strong, will be among the marchers before they break away for the intercollegiate meet at the Stadium.

The ancient and honorablo artillery will be a feature of the parade, in their Colonial uniforms, recalling the days of the minute men. Another feature of the march will be the first public appearance of three newly organized Red Cross base 'boa- pita! units. Every unit of the state militia will march, and besides these will be the society women, who already have pledged their homes for emergency hospitals; suffragists, anti-suffragists, business men, fishermen, clamdiggers, society men, at least one eon of Colonel Roosevelt; actors, sailors, and particularly farmers, to the "em- battl'd days." Every band for miles -around haa been requisitioned, and--300 marchers from Providence will bring one of their own. Boston today may not have the quantity that New York in her parade of the 13th produced, but for quality the committee in charge of the Citizens' Preparedness Parade, admits can't be beat. In the ranks are hundreds of direct descendants of the first disciples of preparedness, those uninvited guests of the Boston tea party, and those who heard Paul Revere go clattering by.

Germnn Against Both T. R. and Wilson. CHICAGO. May Americans unreservedly against both (Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow (Wilson for president of the United States," was the slogan Illinois German-Americans expected to plant In the minds of the officials of every German-American alliance attending the meeting of the- National alliance which convenes In Chicago tomorrow.

One hundred officials of state alliances and editors of German newspapers are expected to attend. "Opposition to Wilson and Roosevelt is an Illinois German-American idea and we expect to promulgate It throughout the United States," Dr. Hermann Gerhard, chairman of tho political committee declared today. '1 know the man I want to flee president," Dr. Gerhard Bald.

"I may a chanco to vote for him." would not say who his choice Is. "I do not believe tho republicans wfll nominate Roosevelt and unless Wilson Is nominated on the first ballot I don't believe he will be nominated." FOR TAXI--Phone 51 FRENCH PRIESTS COVER THEMSELVES WITH 6LORY THEY ARE TO BE FOUND EVERYWHERE IN THE FRENCH ARMY. (By La Raconteuse.) PARIS, May are French priests, monks and theological students by the thousand in the hospitals, in the blood and mud, who have covered themselves with immortal glory. The priests of France have taken up their military duties with enthusiasm, not one single conscientious objector has been found among t'nem, and they are putting their whole heart into their tasks. Among the priests mobilized at the outbreak of war there were at least three bishops.

In France bishops are novlonger old men. They are in the prime of life, thanks 1.0 the policy of the late pope, who put aside the old rules of seniority and qppMntcd young men of merit to fill the episcopal chairs of France. The fljgt then to get to the front was Monsigneur de Llobet, bishop of Gap, who has been mentioned In official dispatches three times. Another bishop came from a distant French colony to shoulder the musket voluntarily, for he had not been called to tho colors. His name has not been given and till the end of the waV he, may remain a humble private.

The third fighting bisnop Is Monsig- neur Ruch, of Gerasa, born in 1873, in the town of Stanislas, Lorraine. On the Sunday of the great mobilization In August, 1914, this young bishop read the words of the benediction as usual in his chuich, and his sermon on that memorable day was one which will never be forgotten by his congregation. Then when the service was over he laid aside his vestments, his official seal ring and his cross, and at the head of the mobilized priests, monks and seminarians he went to get the blessing of Monsigneur Turlnaz, the venerable octogenarian bishop of Nancy, who spoke in words of fervent patriotism to these servants of the Lord, whom he said he envied with all his heart because they were young enough to be given the opportunity to offer their lives in the defense of their country. Many of these brave men, alas, have since fallen and their blood has mingled with the water of rivers of their beloved Lorraine. Monsigneur la now doing service as a stretcher bearer in the hospital corps and the courage he has shown In gathering up the wounded 'n the midst of the most murderous fire has won for him the star of the Legion of Honor as well as the war cioss with palms.

No private In the French army has won higher praise in army orders than this young bishop, of whom his commander in chief said when recommending him for the star: "Priest-soldier and priest of Nancy he Is, among the troops of the th corps, a living representative of the faith of the apostles and the faith of the patriotism of Lorraine." The general who wrote these lines is known as an atheist, and this fact adds strength to his words of praise of the patriotic churchman. FOOD FRIGES AT NEW HIGH MARKS IN BERLIN GERMAN HOUSEWIVES ARE DECLARED TO BE IN DESPAIR THESE DAYS. BERLIN, May prices have now reached such a height that housewives all over Germany are In despair, while in various placss serious riots have taken place In practically only women have participated. The danger of the situation is ap- preciated'by the- press and many papers insist that the goveinment must do something to avert a catastrophe. All letters from wives and relatives to soldiers at the front to the sufferings at home aie being confiscated.

But this cannot be kept up much longer because tho absence of letters from home is shown to exert a very harmful Influence on the soldiers. The Frankfurter Zeitung's Berlin coi respondent protests against the high prices ruling in all the large cities of Germany. The paper expresses its astonishment at the fact that the Buffs Sell Flowers on Fifth Wear Bright Yellow Hats. NEW YORK, May of yellow peach gasket hats, with the cutest little blue roses perked saucily upon them, bobbed merrily along Broadway and Fifth avenue today. The hats, designed by Mr.s Frank A.

Vanderllp, were worn by New York suffragists who heard that Englishwomen got $1,000.000 selling artificial flowers on the streets of England one day last year, and decided to try it themselves. Mrs. Thompson Seton and Mrs. John Flagler, of Greenwich, were among the flower girls. impel ial government has not yet been able to find a remedy iga'rst this state of affahs and declares that it would be very dangerous to ay the patience of the Geiman people i.aich harder, when theie are abundant signs that has almost reached the breaking point What particularly the people, the paper says, is that speculation In foodstuffs is going on in Berlin in.

the most disgraceful manner, so openly that rhe government cannot possibly be ignorant of the fact that certain shameless individuals are making fortunes while the working classes are actually starving. Speculation in food should be made a criminal offense almost on a par inaneiiughter. It The article concludes: tind ourselves is In a besieged fortress and the mles and regulations which prevailed at a time when the markets were open to every- boc'v should not be allowed to prevail today. It is not enough to issue orders, the authorities must also see that they are enforced f.nd obeyed, and from this point of view the conditions which exist throughout Prussia today are disgraceful. "These facts cannot help but weaken our faith and confidence In the men who are at the helm.

In other places, as for instance In the duchy of Hesse, where the cost of living and particularly the price of meat Is very high, the government thought it right to establish a meat center. "Butchers can get meat only through this center and they are not allowed to go beyond a certain maximum price In selling it" As a matter of fact, maximum prices on meat have been set in Berlin too, but the only effect of this has been that on several days no me.it whatever was to be had here because the mail- mum prices prevented fho food speculators from making their usual profit Hundreds of butchers have had to close their shops. According to the Bayrische Kurier the authorities at Nuremberg have now fixed, the quantities of food which any family is allowed to have on hand --one pound of tea, two pounds of coffee, five potmds of sugar, two pounds of fat or lard, ten fresh or one hundred preserved eggs.

PRIVATE OPINIONS PUBLICLY EXPRESSED (Continued From Ijost Page.) Belgian people before this war; in fact, a good many of ou Americans never knew Belgium existed. But they do know something about the Irish people. You don't believe In an Irish republic? Do you behove In our American republic? We had the revolution with England. Had we been defeated it would have been treason; but since we defeated England, it was revolution. Off and on we are receiving news from Dublin which is supposed to reflect public opinion in Ireland.

The dispatches condemn the revolt and make it appear as If only a small portion of the people are in sympathy with the movement Of course, these- dispatches are manufactured In London. They are calculated to mislead the Irish abroad, and admit it has misled some of them. But never mind, Johnny Bull, you can fool some of the- people some of the time, but not all the people all Many of our pro-ally papers take the rebellion as a huge joke. I can assure you that it was no Joke with those five hundred poor Irishmen who were slaughtered In the streets of Dublin by those champions of small REAL SUFFERERS OF IRISH REBELLION Like Knights of Old.
