IIEROEpAY Veterans of 6 1 and Boys of World War March Together in Chicago Celebration. 1 (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 30. The rapidly thinning ranks of veterans who fought under General Grant and accompanied General Sherman In his march to the sea today fell in line with the khakiclad heroes of the world war and paid homage to nation's soldier and sailor dead. . " ' . In scores of towns and cities of the Central West, the few remaining heroes who marched away in 61 today led Memorial JDay ' parades, thrilled anew by the piercing notes of the fife and drum. In most towns the parades moved through the business streets and thence to, cemeteries where they halted before the graves of those who served at Vlcksburg and Gettysburg. Patriotic addresses formed the principal part of the ceremonies. Chicago honored the heroes, past land present, with the biggest Memorial Day parade in its history. More than fifteen thousand men passed up "Michigan boulevard through lanes of cheering thousands. Ceremonies for Dead. ; Less than, 600 of: the number fought iln the "war when.' United States stood a house divided. Many of these vetierans tottered along feebly, but they carried their heads proudly and their eyes flashed when martial music brought fresh memories of days long dead. ' , Other veterans, too feeble to withstand the rigors of a long march, rested In chairs and stretchers on trucks and waved canes and kerchiefs to the crowds tbat banked the sidewalks. ' Ceremonies were held in honor of the dead In the civil war, in honor of the M,00- Americans who sacrificed their Hives in the. world . war; toasts were.drunk - ta. the ' wounded, to the goW star" mothers.: to the wives who eenttheir men away, and to the women who served In France.

Plans are going forward for bringing to this country for burial many of those who fell on European battlefields. Love Of Music Strange Feature Of New Russia tBy Associated Press) LONDON, May 30. One of the ir.ost Interesting phases of life in Russia Since the revolution has been the passion for music displayed by the masses of the people. Albert Coates, an Englishman who has Just returned from Petrograd where for years he was one of the principal conductors of the Imperial Opera, says the Russian-proletariat throngs theatres and concerts. The educated music-loving public of former days has almost entirely disappeared, Mr. Coates says. The one that has taken its place is a new public consisting of workpeople, peasants, soldiers and sailors. "I thoroughly realized during the revolution," he went on, "the force of the proverb, 'Music hath charms to eoothe the savage beast,' for whatever the 'people' do In the political and social sphere and their record is pretty bad at concerts and at the opera they sit as reverently as though they were In church, and listen with the rapt expression of children to whom fairyland 13 suddenly revealed. "It has often happened that after a concert some simple peasant has risen and formally thanked me and the orchestra for the pleasure we had given them. Often, after, a symphony, a group of workpeople have crowded round me and' asked to have explained things in the music they had not understood. They showed a marked preference for modern and complicated music, infinitely preferring it to the older and simple forms of Russian .music. Their special favorite, strange as it may seem, is Scrlabin, and after a performance of this composer's Poeme d'Extase that I was conducting at the Maryinsky theatre, the public, which consisted almost entirely of the 'people' shouted themselves hoarse with enthusiasm. I had never dreamt they would understand it. "After the performance I was constantly receiving requests workpeople used to stop me in the streets to get up another concert and conduct the 'Poeme d'Extase.' " Plymouth Crowds Watch For Arrival Of NC-4 (By Associated Press) PLYMOUTH, May 30. News that the NC-4 : had started on her flight from Lisbon to Plymouth created much excitement here.

An army of more than 200,000 men will be required to harvest the giant wheat crop in Kansas this year, according to A. L. Barkman, director of harvest work. United States employment service. Sixty thousand of this number must come from outside the state. - In making the estimate, he referred to the report of the Kansas board of agriculture, issued last month, which Raid that "with a general average condition of 99.32 per cent on an estimated total of 10,759,000 acres of growing winter wheat, Kansas never had a more flattering prospect for a record smashing crop." The harvest labor problem In Kansas Is more difficult than In any other state and 47,000 posters have been distributed among government buildings throughout the nation. While 500 letters a day are received here from prospective workers, Barkman said many who write will not come, and that most careful distribution will be neeea sary to prevent a labor shortage. Wheat cutting usually starts In the south central counties of Kansas about June 15 to 20, reaching the central part of the state ten days later. The demand for men increases as the harvest district broadens . "Men should, if possible, provide themselves with sufficient funds to tide them over for a few days in case of rains or unavoidable delays in securing work," said Barkman. "The harvest fields do not offer light work and the sun Is often exceedingly hot. Therefore, boys and men who are unused to heavy work are handicapped in securing employment in competition with able-bodied experienced men." Missouri can care for its big wheat crop with local labor, Barkman said. Nebraska and states north will be supplied with harvest labor by the drift of men from Kansas, if that state, the center of the wheat belt, has a sufficient supply.

EDUCATION TO BE OFFERED IN

REGULAR FORGE Plans Outlined to Make U. S. Standing Army Huge University for Soldiers. - (By- Associated Press) PARIS, May 30. A great new educational force in the shape of the American regular army will come Into being in the United States in the near future if the present plans of government officials .army officers and prominent civilian educators are realized. Briefly, it is proposed to make Uncle Sam's standing army a huge university in which the young men of the country will receive not only phys ical and military training, but will be given opportunities to acquire academic and vocational learning which might be. beyond their reach in civil life. The old days of virtual wastage of time which represented almost blank pages in the life diary of the soldier will be a thing of the past. Instead of being turned back into civil life in a more helpless state than when he entered the army he will equipped to wage a vigorous fight for his place in. the sun of the business or professional world. Demonstrated In France. The possibilities of this plan have been demonstrated in the wonderful work done during the paBt few months by the Educational Commission in the American Expeditionary Force in France. Since the signing of the armistice something like 450,000 American soldiers have been appreciably benefited by the army schools, which have been put within the reach of every man and which have provided facilities to study almost every conceivable subject from farming to philosophy. Few of the educators in France realized at the outset how great a work they were starting. The avidity with which the enlisted man and his officer have seized upon the proffered opportunities has astonished them. With this object lesson before it, the army has been inspired to carry on this work at home in the standing forces. The project assumes, it is understood, that the standing army of the future will be a comparatively large one, and that there may be a short period of compulsory training for the youths of the country, although the scheme is not dependent upon the compulsory feature.

DEMOCRATS PRAISE WILSON WAR RECORD - . ; v (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 30 Members of the Democratic national committee closed a two-day session last night by adopt mg-a declaration offered by H. P. Quinn, national committeeman from Rhode Island, reviewing the achieve ments of President Wilson and the Democratic congresses and urging sup port of all independent and progressive voters in the 1920 campaign to per petuate these policies. The statement after mentioning the constructive and progressive legislation passed by the last Democratic Congress approves President Wilson's conduct of the war, and concludes as follows: "Within twenty years our nation under a Republican administration conducted a foreign war. The record of that party in that war is still a matter of current reading and of public discussion. We simply ask the people to draw their own conclusions as to which party 6erved its country best in war and peace. No American president, with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln, was ever so persistently, purposely and in many instances maliciously misrepresented and maligned, as our great leader has been, and we believe that as he parallels Lincoln in that respect, so will the future history of our country view his accomplishments with the same high esteem as those of the great emancipator. "As the first national political organization to record itself in favor of woman suffrage and as the first to welcome the women into full participation in party councils, we deplore and condemn the dilatory tactics of the Republican party in the closing hours of the last session of Congress which resulted in the failure of the suffrage resolution at a time when its proponents were assured of the requisite number of votes to accomplish its passage. Kill Potato Bugs By Early Spraying, Says Expert Do not let potato bugs destroy your crop this year, is the warning issued today by Garden Supervisor F. W. Wester. The beetles are probably, waiting in your garden or potato field now and will attack the young plants almost as soon as they appear above ground; in a few days the vines wi'l be practically destroyed. These pests should be controlled as early, as possible before the adult beetles get a chance to lay many eggs or feed to any extent on the leaves. The young that hatch from these eggs will do more damage even than the adults. As soon as the plants are a few inches high, spray them thoroughly with powdered Arsenate of Lead, at the rate of two pounds to 50 gallons of water, or for the small garden, 10 level teaspoonfuls of the Arsenate to one gallon of water. Paris Green may be used instead of Lead Arsenate, at the rate of 1 pound to 50 gallons, 1 teaspoonful to a gallon of water, also adding three or four times as much lime as Paris Green to prevent burning of the leaves. Lead Arsenate is preferred because it sticks to the foliage better and is somewhat cheaper. : r Sprayings should be -repeated when necessary, or generally every two weeks through most of the season. If started early the "bugs" will be easier controlled and a smaller number of sprays necessary. At the Arsenate of Lead and Nicotine Sulphate are added to Bordeaux mixture, the one combined spray will control fungous diseases, plant lice, and chewing insects.

SCHOOL BOARD GETS AUTHORITY

TOJBUY SITES Permission to Make Purchases is Granted at Meeting of City Council. Authority to purchase sites for the proposed junior high' schools, in East and West Richmond, was granted the school board by the city concil in special session at the city hall last evening. The special meeting of the council was called at the request of the school board, which was represented at uie meeting by Dr. M. F. Johnston, president of the board, and Wilfred Jessup, the board's attorney. In a statment prepared for the pmmcil by the school board, the necessity for immediate purchase of the West Richmond site was pointed out, owing to the rapidly increasing value of the land, due to Improvements being made in that part of the city. One member of the council, Mr. Ford, declined to give his approval for the purchase of the land in the east part of the city, owing to the objection, in his belief, of a great many people to the proposed site. He stated, that while he believed the junior high school were needed, the east end location was too far from the center of the public needs. He proposed that the board consider the purchase of land on the Fihe addition, at South Fifteenth and E Streets, as being more desirable than the original site Mayor Makes Suggestion. Mayor Zimmerman indorsed the plan of Mr. Ford, and asked that the board take it into consideration. He said that owing to the nature of .the land in the eastern part of the city, and the location of public playgrounds and Glen Miller park, the growth of
