New York City.~--Twenty-flyf thou sand fighting men, drawn from nil the principal navlos of the world and from every brand* of the United States Army and Navy, passed In re view In the great military parade that will atand out as the moBt brilliant pageant of the Hudson-Fulton cele bration. Not less tban 2,250,000 persons viewed the parado, anij it aroused them to an enthusiast) that left them tired, hoarse and happy. The first big ^ thrill camo when Governor Hugnes appeared at the starting point and the'ihllltar^ bands blared out airs of the country whoso sailors were about to march. '* God Save the King "Die Waclit am Rhelp,- "The MarBelllniee" ond others ^amo In sue-, cession, and then, following/a brief, magnetic i<auset the flr*t botes of The E'ar Spjansled Banner" rang out. They carried , clear for three blocks each way, nnd the crowd, packed <o suffocation along each block and In every sldo street, went wild with enthusiasm. The post of honor at the head of ? the marching lino was awarded to tho Jackles frOm the British ships.. In their wide. brimmed straw hats ! they caught the fancy of the spectators at once , na they swung along, big, bronzed men, 700 strong; and the cheers that, greeted > them were re doubled when n detachment of tho royal marines came Into- night behind them nnd furnished the piquant spec tacle of British redcoats ?nde> arms In I he streets of New York City.' A continuous roar of ch'eers aocpm panied the Germans, who followed and the -crowd' was delighted to I the sailors inarch like the be'st-drllled army regular?, evan leading off after occasional halts with the odd, showy goo3e-step. Frenchmen swunv by to the equeallng and the rattle of/fifes niiu drums. .Blue.- uniforms with white straw hats and white leggings marked tho contingent from the Dutch cruiser Utrecht, and the Ital ians, lithe and agile, with thej-lch col oring and the dark eyes that caused many a .wojnan's gase to linger, were conspicuous with whlto spatffthat set off the trim slmpllcltyof -tho rest of their Uniform. Right oil the heels of the Argen tines and the Mexicans, the last of the foreigners, came tho sallora of the American fleet, and. loudly hb thoy had cheered the visitors, the specta tors gave all their heatts and voices to the boys at > /me. Uncle Sam's tars turned out v/OOO strong," the de tachment from each ship being pre ceded by a flag bearing the jhip'a name, and all along the line the crowd picked out its favorites, only to prove its individual fickleness and general loyalty toy turning to cheer the next division as soon as one had passed by. ? Leading the military forces of the United States came the $oys the crowd always loves all the tlrie ? the West Point Cadets. New York City has seen them so often it might have grown used td tha splendid marching of the future offlcera Of its Army, hut the sight never rails, and the cadets never made a braver showing,' nor re ceived a more uproarious welcome. Detachments of cavalry, artillery and Infantry, regulars, militiamen and -vblunteers" to the number of 10,000 made up the rest of the parade. The crowds along the line of march and In the Adjoining streets furnished In tnemseive? uuw of the mssscrablc features of the parade. The police admitted that they never before had been called . upon to handle such throngs, tut previous lessons proved to have besn learned well and there was far less confusion and dangerous congestion than ever before. Thai field' ambulances that had been ln? stalled at numerous points were ad*> mlrably conducted and all who re quired relief were attended to promptly. The grandstands wore crowded, but there was complaint at tho prieea charged; In spite of the effort* that had been made to prevent, it, thou sand* of tickets fell Into the hands af speculators, who dot only asked W $5 to $10 for an ordinary r seat, $fit often were insultingly perttsteqt' 4n trying to force their sal?a. fieata In windows sold rapidly, and though lit tle bdslqess was done in this line in TPifth avenue, except In the butlneas buildings at the Tower ehd* the ten ants of flats and apartment hquaea "ahmg C^htral Park Weat did nctheal tate to - take in strangers aF alfrXVVr age price of |5 a head. : ' ?The parade waa divided Into nta* divisions. Firat marched tho "sallora and miriaet of foreign navies. They were escorted by a platoon of jnpnnt ed policemen, Grand MarahM Hoe and his staff and Squadron A, National Guard of New York. Tha second di vision wm made up of detachments from the United States , Coast Artillery, Marino Corps Revenue Cutter Service, led by tha West Point Cadets. Detachments f rose the United States Army were in the thdrd division and the fourth division of cciinooa*! York State, under command of Brig adier-General George Moore Smltn end led by Squadron C, cavalry, as escort, made a magnificent showing in the fifth division. Colonel Daniel Appleton commanded the first t?rl Kitdu mid Colonel John Q. Eddy led the second brigade. In the second brigade marched the Ninth Company of the Coast Artillery Corps of the Connecticut National Quard. ? The sixth division contained the Albany Burgees Corps, commanded by Major J. C. Woodward; . the Old Qnard of New York, with Major S. Kills* Drlggs In command, and the Irleh Volunteers, led by Colonel Charles J. Crowley. The United Spanish War Veterans had the sev enth division, They were commanded by Urauu W. i Watson. In the eighth division were the Sons of Veterans, Commander-ta'-Oblef George W. Pollltt In command; the Deutscher-Veterftnen-Bund of 1870 '71, Max Lederer, the president, in the fore; the United States Volunteer Life Saving Corps, the Legion of In dependent Polish Krakusky* under command of Colonel Stefan 8us*yskl, and tho Italian Rifle brigade. Cap tain Thomas O'Reilly was grand mar. shal of the ninth division, which was composed of members of the Orand Army of the Republic. Most of its participating members were In line on both sides of the Court of Honor, .and the younger fighting men marched between them. There were two old men In the line, however, In one of the organisations who were almost I ozhausted by the time they bad reached the Court of Honor. Not withstanding that, they tottered along, bowing and smiling to every one who greeted them. At the rear of the parade, holdlnjg the following crowds In check, was a platoon of mounted policemen. Both police platoons in the line won plaudits for their military bearing and tho Clever way In which they handled their mounts. The vast crowds were in a good hu mor, and there were many amusing incidents to the parade. "There goes the 'possum cater*," a, lusty-lunged Individual shouted a* the head' of the Oeorgla column reached Forty-second street, where- ? upon seme of the Georgia's men laugnrd outright. The Georgia's band, next to the Connecticut's, is the Anest In the Atlantic fleet, and when ft struck "Way Down Upon tho 8u wanee RlYar-' the crowd in the court of honor $tood up and yelled. "Is Bryan going to run again!" a noisy individual shouted as the Ne braska's men followed the New Jer sey contlhgent past the reviewing stand." Bringing up the rear of the third section of the Atlantic fleet war the Rhode Island, "the chowder ship;" and behind her came the snappy look ing, SWlft walking jaokles of the Vlr-.,. glnla, the flagship of the Fourth ?Di vision.-"' The reception to the Virginia wa3 as great as was given to any of the shipS. As the band reached Forty third street it struck up "My Old Ken tucky Home," which put everybody in good hnmor and started an ovation of cheering. Then the band changed to "Maryland, My Maryland," the ."Suw^nee River," then "Dixie," and as the column passed the. Governor to "Take Me Back to Old Virginia/' The crowd went wild at this. ~ The Wisconsin's men came after the Virginia, and then th* boys from the Missouri hove In sight. "Show met" the people yelled as tho Mis souri division passed. They had brought along NaBma, their goat mas q?t, the only goat in the world that Ojin eat without 'Ill-results fresh green paint, matches jmd tobacco. riKasma got out of line once, and the parade almoat stopped while he was cfeased back to the rear of the col umn.

"Organise liberty leagues and kill the nocturnal invaders," is the advice that the Governor gives. In a state ment Governor Willson says that no man should pool his tobacco unless he Wants to, and that he will pardon any man who reBorts to arms to pro* tact bis home. The situation was Intense and tbe crisis for the inde pendents or the organisation men was expected. It was declared in some quarters that tho statement given out will mean the failure of the pool. The Governor say 8 in the statement: . "You will remember that I bavo made public addresses to our people asking them to defend their homes, and assured them that if they did defend their homes and were careful not to make a mistake and kill any Innocent person, but simply necessary defense of their lives, liberty ' and property, they would not need any lawyer.

NORTHCLIFFE TELLS WHY HE FEARS WAR German Preparations of To-day Like Those Which Preceded the Gonflct With France? Britain Not Aroused Yet? Warn ings of Leaders Fall Fully to Awaken the People. Chicago. ? In an Interview pub lished here Lord Northcllffe, manag ing owner of a London newspaper, de clares there is great danger of war .between Germany and Great Britain. "The Americans are so bUBy," said Lord Northcllffe, "with the affairs of their own gigantic continent that they have not the time to devote to the study of European politics, which are more kaleidoscopic in their chang. b than are those of the United States. '"inhere is an impression in this country that some hostility exists be tween the people of Great Britain and of. united Germany. I know the Germans intimately. From childhood I have traveled extensively through out most of the German States. I have many German family connec tions, and X venture to ?ay that out side the usual body of Anglophobes one meets 1n . every country there is little hostility to the British on the part of the Germans. "And, on the other hand, there is in England no dislike of Germany. Au contralre, our statesmen are adapting German legislation to our needs, and if imitation be the sln cerest form of flattery the Germans must, be well pleased with our pro posed reproduction of their working men's Insurance, their labor bureau, and a great many other legislative Improvements that, it appears to me, would be just as vital to the United States as they seem to be to Great Britain. "Why, then, If so happy a state of affairs exists between the two na tions, should there be any section of pe&ple in England to suggest the pos sibility of war? Turn back to 1869. Wai there any friction between France and Prussia? There was no hostility on plther side. But any reader of Bussche'a Bismarck or stan dard authority ob the great German Empire builder will acknowledge there was Immense preparation on the part of Germany ? a preparation that was kept secret aa far as possi ble, and which also, as far as possible, Is being kept" secret by Germany to , day. | "As to that which Is transpiring In the German shipbuilding yardB, we more or less know that by 1912 Ger many, in ships of the Buper-Dread nought class, will be the equal of England. "If we were in your position, able to grow $ar own food ori our own acres, It would matter little to ub if we had merely an ornamental navy. But how few Americans realize that our food is brought to us from Aus tralia,, Canada, much of it from the city of Chicago, and your Western wheat fields, from the Argentine Re public ? nearly all of it from over the sea. ! .

In A?ony From Asthma, She Had Bagged Her Husband to Prove Hla Love fey Ending Her Life* -Judge, Jury and Spectators in Teara ?? in. . _ "A man whose wife la dying ot an agonising disease Is Justified lu killing her to put an end.to her suffer ing if she implores him to do so."- - So a jury, perhaps rather emo ttonal, decided in the Court of Assizes here, and acquitted Edmond Baudln, who, at her prayer, shot and killed his wife on January 81 last. Mme. Baudln had been afflicted with asthma for years. It gripped her throat, it was a weight on her lupjss, it stopped her breath. She besged her husband to aid her by killing her Quickly to rid her of the affection that was slowly throttling her. *8 Baudin, a mechanic, thirty-nine years old, a rough and plain spoken man. sought to justify his act with words as straightforward as they were made dramatic. Tears streamed from his eyes while he testified. The jurors also wept, and the women In the courtroom were semi-hysterical. The presiding judge, who disap proved of the jury'* verdict, re marked: "For the moment the bandage on the ejgs ot Justice was a handker Vlfe, whom I loved dearly, hatt suffered fearfully from asthma, N Baudln testified. -She could not sleep. If she laid* her head on the pillow she would cry: 'I am choking! In the name of the good God, end my misery! Let me die!' t "On the night she? ehe died she was suffering intensely," Baudln went on between sobs. "The medicine she was taking was nearly exhausted.

I have cost you too much money al ready. 44 'If you love me, put me out of my misery. Provo your love and let me leave you. Kill me! If you wero a determined man you would not see me suffer as I do.' "I was maddened by the Bight of her agony, " Baudln ended. " I -seized a revolver with which I intended to defend our home; I Bbot her in the head; she died instantly. "I determined then to kill myself, but I thought of my sister, the only other being who depends on me. I went to see my sister. 8he wept, but told me I should surrender myself to the police, which I did at once." When Baudln finished his testi mony, given with unaffected omotloif, all in the court were in tears. Following him, Dr. Dupre, a dis tinguished alienist, testified that Bau dln is perfectly sane. But,- said Dupre, he was incited to his fatal act by the stronger will of his wife. Pity for her, directed by her will, led bim to shoot her. ? 4a Baudln left the courtroom free man the crowd applauded him. The question whether it is morally Justifiable to end the suffering of those who are bound to die of a mor tal disease has been discussed In this country. Of course It was decided that such an act, whether inspired by love or pity. Is murder.
