Dever, The Chicago Asso- ciation of Commerce and the Illinois Manufacturers' association. Similar action is also expected shortly from organizations representing the various neighborhood business districts. Regular army troops, acting under instructions from the War department and the directions of Major General Harry C. Hale, commander of the 6th Corps Army Area, are now rehearsing at Fort Sheridan in preparation for the roles they will play in the great war drama, while at Chanute and Scott Fields daring army aviators are prac- ticing and perfecting new and startling flying stunts to thrill the crowds of spectators. Represent Every Department All the fighting equipment of Uncle Sam's war machine and the men be- hind the guns will be represented at the military show. There will be 1,000 regular army troops, 500 horses, five tanks, 12 airplanes, including the big Martin bombers and the tiny Sperrys, a number of dirigibles, and other fight- ing aparatus. Among the various military units taking part will be the 14th U. S. Cavalry, 14th U. S. Field Artillery and the 2nd U. S. Infantry, all stationed at Fort Sheridan; the 33rd Division and high school students of the ROTC: One of the most picturesque features will be a battle in the air at night with a battery of powerful searchlights playing upon the blimps and airplanes hovering over the lake front, while the antiaircraft artillery will be in action trying to pick outs its prey in the black sky with the aid of light beams. Snappy Action Assured Carried on with military precision and swiftness, there will be snappy ac- tion every second from the opening to the closing of each performance. There will be no field day athletics or events which depend upon their competitive character to interest the spectators. With afternoon and evening perform- ances on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of those dates, it is believed by army officials that every man, woman and child in Chicago and suburbs will have ample opportunity to witness the big show. The huge stadium, erected at a cost of more than $2,500,000 and covering 15 acres, is the ideal location for such a gigantic exhibition. This immense open air arena, with its 65000 seats, will comfortably take care of the crowds of spectators and provide plenty of room for military operations. Demonstrate Defense The 65th Cavalry Division, U. S. A., is in charge of the military tournament, which is part of the War Department's program to create interest in National Defense, to instill in the minds of the people the necessity for preparédness and to speed up enrollment in the Cit- izen's Military Training Camp. Reserved seats are now on sale at the Hub, A. G. Spaulding and com- pany, Von Lengerke and Antoine, Lyon and Healy, and the Central Elec- tric company, Chicago. General Offices of the Military tour- nament are located at the 65th Cavalry Division headquarters, 405 West Van Buren street, Chicago. Own a NEW MARMON this week.

The Winnetka Sunday Evening club spent an evening of intense interest last. week, listening to Dr. Paul Hut- chinson's talk on the "Race Problem." He has thought and read widely on the subject, and backed his state- ments with first hand observations of China, India, and Japan. His opening statement was that, in the main, the race problem is the prob- lem of adjustment between the white race and the tinted races; and that of the white race, the Anglo-Saxon race seems to find the most difficult. He said that in the past few years the white race has lost prestige in the eyes of the tinted races, and that there is a strong reaction against Western culture all over the Orient. He said that this is due partly to the victory of Japan in the Russo- Japanese war, and partly to the fact that large numbers of Eastern soldiers took part in the recent World war, and now feel on a more familiar footing with the white peoples.

Dr. Hutchinson feels that we must make great efforts to conciliate these peoples, and show greater inteiligence and understanding in our dealings with them. Sunday, May 10, Rev. James Austin Richards will be the speaker of the evening. He will lead a discussion on glad to welcome any who are inter- ested.
