The .strongest pacifist Influcnco In Amer ica today suddenly turned from efforts to prevent war to means of financing It. Simultaneously it became known that a plan put forward by tho American Corn mitten on War Klnance, headed by Amos Plnchot, to place tho entlro financial bur den of the ,war upon persona with ncomca of riore than $5000 pee year, has been In dorsed in high Government circles. Tho greatest significance was placed upon the HUdden notion of leading pacifists be cause of belief that they were In close com munication with Washington leaders. While they Insisted that they "st'll hoped" for peace their actions Indicated that tho "hopo" Is virtually dead, Tho committee in its nnnounrcment today points out that the heavy death toll of war will be upon tho working people of the country because of their greater number. With this in view It calls for signatures to a pledge to demand legislation for a special war Income tax on all Incomes over $000. Tlie schedule calls for a tax of i'2 per cent on all Incomes from $5000 to i 10,000 per year, On all Incomes over $10,000 a sliding scale beginning at 10 ;'r cent and rising to n point that will permit no Individual to retain moro thnn a net Incomo of more than $100,000 per year, Is proposed.

It Is this: How did tho communication sent by tho German Foreign Office to General Carranza to Induce Mexico to go to war against tho United States come to fall Into tho hands of the I'nited States Government? Tho statement that Germany Is now In vestigating tho disappearance of tho com munication between Berlin and Mexico City was made in the Reichstag by Dr. Alfred Zlmmcrmann, German Foreign Minister. EVENING LEDGER GAVE KEYNOTE TO OUTBURST .ts Editorial of March 22 Stirred Patriotic Impulseof City State and Nation Tho big demonstration of patriotism at the "Cradle of Liberty" this afternoon was the result of an editorial In tho Evcnino Ledger on March 22. On that day this newspaper said there should go out to the world some evidence of national cohesion showing that tho course taken by the Gov ernment had the complete Indorsement of the people. It was pointed out that a dem onstration at Independence Hall, where the spirit of Liberty was born, would be fitting at this time. indorsement ,of the plan was given by Mayor Smith nnd a meeting quickly fol lowed at the Poor Richard Club, where men, representative of tho city's progress, emphatically approved such a step. Busi ness, patriotic and civic organizations im mediately agreed to co-operate towaid the success of the undertaking, and the clergy of all denominations, in addition to In dorsing the proposed demonstration, an nounced It from their pulpits last Sunday. Word of the meeting flashed to all parts of the country and also abroad, with the result that United States Senatoi -elect Johnson, of California, Ambassador Gerard and other prominent Americans of the city, State and country joined hands in making the event one of historical importance, which will live long In the memory of every loyal American. t BOY SCOUTS PERFORM YEOMAN SERVICE Combination of Signal System and Ambulance Work Brings First Aid to Sufferers in Jam Ambulance and hospital tervlce arranged by Hoy Scouts for emergency service dur ing the rally worked splendidly this after noon when seven persons who collapsed were revived and pronounced out of danger by scouts and their physicians.

When a disturbance was located the Scouts wlywagged f,rom' the outlook stations, and rescue parties started Immediately for the scene. The Scouts on tho flrst-uld treatment were under the charge of Deputy Scout Commlslsoner Powers, who also had under ljjs command eleven llrst-ald patrols.

"Wo do not believe that any real patriot wants the poor peoplo of tho natldn to hear tho burden of the cost of war in addition to tho burden of fighting," said 1'inchot to day. "Our commlttco is not made up of peace at any price people nnd there is no one connected with tho movement who has any Oerman sympathy, our proposal Is simply predicated on tho nation's experi ence In pant wars and Is bused on tho be lief that In tho event of war there should bo a genuine partnership In patriotism be tween tho worklng'pooplo who will be asked to volunteer their lives and the wealthy who will bo called to glvo their dollars.

Six of these must have some knowledge of gas engines. The only other requirements nro a sound body and u clear head. No knowledge of flying Is necessary, although experienced aviators (rare birds in tho United States) will be welcomed. Curiously enough, tho most active navy recruiting station In New York Is right under the Benjamin Franklin statue. In Printing House Square. This Is where the German propagandists worked tho hardest In the early period of tho war. This Information was received hero today In advices from Berlin. Doctor SSImmermann did not write a letter. Ilo adopted a much more secret course, sending tho communication through tho dip. lomatlc channels. It Is believed to have been in code known only to tho German Ambassadors themselves, as. the document was one of unusual Importance. That the failure of Germany's efforts to line up Mexico and also Japan In an nntl American alliance was a big factor in lead ing the United States toward Intervention In the war is one of the reasons that the Gorman Foreign Office Is so keenly anxious to find out how it was outwitted, 'appar ently by the secret service operatives of either tho United States or England. STIRRING SCENES MARK PENN SQUARE PARADE Employers and Employes Flock in Thousands to Patri otic Rally Members of business associations in all sections of tho city nnd thousands of em ployes of the city's largest business and manufacturing concerns participated In a great 'patriotic demonstration In South Penn Square, preliminary to marching to Inde pendence Hall this afternoon. The demonstration was the answer of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce to the call of the Mayor for a pledge of loy alty of the business organizations of -Philadelphia to tho nation and the President. Tho unfurling of a monster flag, 18 by 2S feet, accompanied by u shower of thousands of smaller Hags on the heads of the thous ands that packed South Penn Square, was one of the features of this demonstration, Another Impressive nnd significant feature was the presence of more than 2000 em ployes of the MIdvalo Steel Works. The delegation from Mlilvale was headed by a large truck, on which was a huge lfi-lnch howitzer, of the type which is used for coast defense. The gun was fresh from the forge, nnd its appearance was gieeted with a roar of applause. The inarching delegation from Mldvale presented a stinging repudiation of the con tention of the enemies of this countiy that' "America Is divided against Itself becauso of Its great alien population, whose sym pathies are abroad," In that delegation were German-Americans, natives of Austria, and representatives t of every one of the belligerent countries' In Europe as well as hundreds of native Americans. Delegations from the business associa tions and manufactuilng plants began to arrive in the square as earl as 12:30 o'clock. Beside the .Mldvale Steel t'om pam there were delegations from John Lucas & Co., the Philadelphia Wool and Textile Association, Young, Smyth & Field, 121C Arch street, and A. II. Kirschbaum & Co. Hals were uncovered when the Police Hand began playing "The Star-Spangled Banner." The John Wanamaker Band, sta tioned n a platform erected at tho western entrance of tho stoie, followed with other patriotic selections. A wire cuble was -tretched from tho twelfth floor of the Chamber of Commerce to tho southeast tower of City Hall. Just as Mayor Smith and his escort left City Hall to go down Chestnut street to Inde pendence Square .Mrs. Ernest T. Trigg, wife of tho president of the Chamber of Com merce, pulled tho rope, unfurling the big flag. The gorgeous banner crept out on to tho steel cable, unfurling as It slid along and loosening thousands of little flags, which fluttered downward In a brilliant shower into the crowds. There wns a great scrambling ,for the little flags, and as the big banner ubovu reached a position in tho center of the cable and swung proudly to the breeze tho John Wanamaker Band played tho "Star-Spangled Banner." This was tho signal for a patriotic demonstra Hon which thrilled thousands. Hats camo oft and were waved or tossed Into the air. The great crowd looking upward. at tho emblem of American liberty cheered Itseli hoarse. The delegation from the Mldvale Steel Works wns passing through the square when tho big banner fluttered to the breeze, showering the steel workmen with thou sands of little flags. Tho Mldvale men waved small flags which they carried and Joined In tho applause. After that began the inarch of the busi ness associations and shop delegations down Market street to Independence Square. The parado was led by a detail of mounted police. Behind tho detail.

Amid tho lusty strains of national anthems, they bared their youthful heads while a huge American flag was raised to the upper most part of the flagpole In Washington Square, Mil. CATTELL'S ADDKESS Tho true message of the meeting was forcofully expressed by tho venerable City Statistician, H. .1. Cattell, the principal speaker for tho occasion. He said: This gathering of young America Is, to my mind, of ever greater significance than the gathering neatby In Independ ence Square, for upon your shoulders will devolve affairs of government when tills Republic has grown In population to several hundred millions and bus fully established Its right to be the leader of tho whole world. The nation which proclaimed Its liberty with less than 3.000,000 population, in 177, has now nearly 105,000,000 popula tion and promises to lead the whole world Into a new llbeity. The men of '7C here proclaimed liberty for one section of one continent At this meeting today wo are, in a deeper sense, proclaiming liberty for the peoples of two great continents Europe and America. We meet today to make a second Declaration of Independence a declara tion for the Independence of the Old World under leadership of the New. Young America, In this square, named after him who wns "first In war, first In peace and flist In the hearts of his coun trymen" this day, In open parliament, pledges: loyalty to tho principles of the Declaration and the Constitution, and with heart and voice pledges loyalty to the President of the I'nltcd States. Stand by tho President, Young Amer ica! Let patriotism flame In each heart. Let love of country lie food for each soul, put Into each thought and action each hour of every day tho best that Is In you. have traveled all over tho world. Never has God gnen me opportunity In times past to look on such a wonderful picture as now opens before my eyes thousands of brave-hearted, clear-minded young Americans, eacli face kindled with a new-born spark of patriotism, a new love of country, a new love of Old Glory wilttcn by tlje quickening finger of the living God on each upturned face. Stand by the President, for love of God, for loc of home, for loe of liberty and your fellowman! Here, m Washington Square, meet the men of tomorrow and tho day after to morrow, each unit In this vast crowd rich In the mighty Inheritance, of unused years. All that the fathers did to found this country with Washington, their leader; nil that martyred Lincoln did to preserve the nation and to expel slavery from the limits of the land; all that the martyred McKlnley did to carry, through the successful prosecution of an unpro voked war, tho heritage of freedom to millions resident beyond the limits of continental America, and mako us a. world power, rather than an American power you, the young Americans of to day, have fallen heir to. And whatever may come out of the present war crisis, to you will come, as a result of war, tho broader liberty, the larger range of activity, tlie broader door of opportunity. But If the older generation, in their, action under fire, maintain the old tradi tions of American valor, they will do so because they are lighting for you. Your fathers:, brothers those who know you, who love you ; those who hold your fu ture prospects dearer than any good for tune that may come to them personally will, If the nation calls, be placing life In peril, 'giving of their gathered sub stance in money to the support of tho Government, doing all they can to sup port authority, largely because they wish to secure for you and your children tlie Inestimable prize of personal liberty. ' Tho patriotic display of tho high school pupils began when they assembled to form a lino of parade on Broad street near Locust, at 1 o'clock, t'nder the marsh.ilshlp of William E. Steelier, director of physical education in tho public schools, they formed into divisions and at 1 :S0 o'clock left Broad street and tread their way east on Locust street to Washington Square. A number of troops of Hoy Scouts acted as escorts to the marchers lu line. The pupils then grouped around tho speakers' stand In the square and. at 2 o'cIock the program of tlie meeting was ofllclally opened by ap Invocation delivered by the llev. Amos E. Crowell. The parade and mass-meeting was held under tho au spices of tlie Philadelphia Home Defense League. FATIIEP. WHEELElt STIHS CIIOWD The llev. Father John J. Wheeler, of St John's Catholic Church, made a stirring speech, appealing to tho patriotic sldo of the young Americans In ills address on "The United States." He said: Our country today, hoys and girls, Is on the eve of an Impending crisis. We are assembling here today, not to clamor for war. What wo demand Is liberty, and If war Is necessary to maintain our national honor, to preserve our liberty, then in .the name of God, glvo us war. The price of liberty has always been of bloed atonement. Our forefathers who sat In yonder snored hall and signed tho Declaration of Independence wero hardy patriots who thought not of themselves, who thought not of peace, but wero bound to have liberty at any cost. This is why we lovo America lie cause it Is-tho land of tho free and the home of tho brave. Our forefathers en dured all sorts, of privations, all sorts of suffering that we might live. But what Is tills liberty for which they fought? Does It mean that every man is a law to nnnseir? No, America, good as she is, never intended to bo so good as to destroy herself, and nothing is mora set than this, that any nation granting to a man the right to lie a law unto himself that moment signs her own death warrant. What Is our duty? Tho law of God has been set nslde, sacred treaties denounced as senilis of paper, the Jaw of mercy dis regarded. Our nntlon stunds as tho one force for law, for order, for International morality; If we shall fall through weak ness or through fear, no man can prophesy tho evil that may come. Tho fight Is for civilization, for liberty, It is our duty to fight to defend civilization from attack and we must summon to our aid the patriotism and the valorous deeds of our forefathers. Patriotism Is not mora than tho conception of love of whut we ought to he and do for our country. A living emblem of patriotism then took he speakers' stand in the form of Lieu tenant Hoblnson J. Murphy, a Cvll War hero, who bears the. distinction of being the youngest soldier In the United States who waa awarded medala for hnv. i action; Lieutenant Murphy was possessed I i. n.. .M.. t, . r iMrt.-t.-m vpam. In hn nrmv at the sen of thirteen years, When he had reached tho ngo of fifteen ho was awarded two medals for' personal bravery, ono being given to him for saving tho life of General Llghtburn during an engagement. At that tlmo Lieutenant Mur phy was a musician of Company A, 127th Illinois Regiment. WAIl HERO'S SPEECH Then, amid cheers nnd waving of flags, tho old Civil War hero arose to address tho young people. We are Indeed a united country. I stand hero representing the State of Maine, where my fnther wns born, this grand old Stato of Pennsylvania, tho blrthplnco of my mother, Illinois my own birthplace, Alabama the Stato In which my wife nnd children wero' bom, Ohio and Virginia tho birthplaces of my grand children, and 1 thank God that 1 had a hand In helping to keep this country united, for tho sons of Old Virginia, my adopted State, will stand shoulder to shoulder with the sons of Pennsylvania In uplloldlng tho honor unil dignity of, our country. 1 cannot find words that express my feelings, for 1 am deeply Interested In tho boys of our hind. What will you make of yourselves, my boys? W 111 you fight tho battles that aro before you ; overcome the temptations that you will meet standing square on your feet ; light error and self, letting tho real man prevail; reach out and take hold of God's hand that Is ever leatly; walk forward In the path of righteousness? God grant that each one of you boys will become n hero. William n. Lewis, principal of the Wil liam Penn High School for Girls, also em phasized the fact that the joung people aro tho Inheritors of what has been done by the nation up to date. During ins ad dress on "Patriotism," he said: You musl entry on the work of de mocracy, not only for tho sake of your own country, but you must also mako our (lvmocincy a. democracy for other less fortunate lands. Russia Is making progress today largely because of tho ex ample set by the Fulled Stales nnd Frnnce. A government, hiiciully, politi cally and Industrially. Is Just as the peo ple In that democracy want. At tho close of his remarks "America" was Bung and tho meeting was closed by tho benediction of Rabbi Max D. Klein. The pupils participating In tho parade were composed entliely of Jioy-studeut bodies of the high schools, whllo tho pu pils of the girls' high schools had assembled at 'Washington Square. The schools repre sented lu the line of parade were us fol lows: Central High School. School of Peda gogy, Northeast High School. Southern High School. West Philadelphia High School. Gcrmantown High School, Frank ford High School, Catholic High School for Boys and tho Philadelphia Trade School. FLAGS GALORE Flags were distributed to all the march ers by the members of Ihe Parade Com mittee and their Boy Scout emissaries. Thousands of tlie older pupils ot tfo gram mar schools are expected to attend the meeting. When the long lino readied the square they received their orders from seventy-five cheer leaders, armed with meg aphones and lusty voices. I'nder their joint Instructions, the pupils were grouped and led through the national anthems that punc tuated tho program at regular intervals. It was explained by Frederick G. Jones, chairman of tho committee on arrange ments, that tho invitations to attend tho mass-meeting wero not extended to tlie chil dren of tho elementary and grammar schools becauso of the tender age of many and the care that would bo required In bringing them to Washington Square and Utiaraiiteolng their safe return to home.
