The pry Parade In Chicago was im- pressive In more ways than one. Any closing of the streets in the loop dis- trict is fraught with so much incon- venience to all but the participants in the demonstration which causes it, that enthusiasm is more o# less tem- pered with Impatience and suffers from it.

Because they have learned a little of military methods and military needs they will be the more likely to secure converts to their faith in the advisability or securing for America a position in military and naval strength of equal advantage with other nations of the world.

Hofer Defeated Napoleon. "Andreas Hofer, a man of powerful build, and gifted with a natural elo- quence, was a simple-hearted peasant, a Tyrolese innkeeper. Yet he beat, with his undrilicd levies, a veteran marshal ot Napoleon's, Lefebyre, and that though his 18,000 mountaineers! were opposed by 25.000 allied Bavar- ians and French. The thrilling events of Holer's short military life followed Napoleon's transfer of Tyrol, loyal for centuries to the House of Hnpsburg, to the King of Bavaria. This was the price of Austerlit/. When war broke out anew In iSoi>, Hofer led the Tyrol- ese to victory In three great battles against the Little Corporal, and his al- lies. And, while engaged in freeing Tyrol and in ruling It for Austria, he drew ninety cents a day from the treas ury for his expenses!
