OF 206,000 MEN
Conferrees Decide to Ked

[Frnn Th, Tr1bun? IV.'-a
Washington, May 13. House and
Senate conferrees to-day aRr.eed Bfl a
[ bill providing for an army of KSfiOO
men in time of p?aee and capablc of
being expanded in time of war to
..54,000. They agreed on a federalired
national guard of 425,000 as a reserve
; force, but rejected the volunteer army
scheme.
The compromise is a victorv for the
preparedness advoeatea, in lhat the
' measure prnvides ttftot more men t'nar.
thc House bill provided, and a defeat,
in that the militia advoeatea raCf
in ellminatiiK. the volunteer reserve.
Thfl etanding army of 206,000 _a?
will include 5.723 Philiopine Sceuts,
1,401 men in the quartermaster's de?
partment. 7,290 in the medical ttttt,
' 3^387 in the signal corps, and approxi
'? mately 8,750 unassigncd recruits, a
total of IMM mer.
. hfl bill probably will be passed hv
| both Houses without change, aa the
group of advoeatea of a larger army is
too small to overeome the pacitist
majority, aspecially in the House of
Rcpre-enUtives. The measure will be
reported to Congresa early i.c-xt weelc.

200 PREPAREDNPSS PLEAS
REVIEWED EACH M1NUTE
Thousands of Women in Line as Day
Eades?General Wood Beams
on Citizen Army.
A certain o!d gentlem.an who .still affccts the knrr breechi-S
of 1664, but who nevertheless has managed to escape suspicion
of being behind the times. .'upped his hands toward Washington
yesterday and shouted a bit of advice to an eminent. kinsman.
"Roll up your .slceves, Uncle Sam !" was the jrist of it. "Be
ready!"
Tt was Kather Knickerbocker who spoke. and his voice was
the voice of six millionaS. On thn wings of such a patriotic
demonstration as New York has never known before the mcs
sago went forward?a combined plea and demand for pre
paredness that showed exactly where the nation's greatest city
stands on the question of national defpnce.
Parade Outlasts Daylight.
A parade that was limited in its length only by the length
of the day ynfolded it.self past the reviewing stand at Twenty
tifth .Street and Fifth Avenue from morning until long after
darkness had fallen. How many were in the line can only be
estimated. but the lowest of the offieial estimates puts the num?
ber at 137.000.
Of this great multitude of marchers only 10,000 were in
uniform. The.se were men of the infantry and cavalry and
artillery forces of the Commonwealth of New York. The other
thousands who preceded ihe national guard division were of
President Wilson's "citizen soldiery," but lacking that train?
ing in the u.se of arms which is the President's ideal.
Between the citizen soldiers and the soldier citizens marehed
a brigade of women, with Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., at their
head and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, sr., in the ranks. Some were
working women, .some women of society; some were married,
some were single. But they were one in their willingneis to
pledge their husbands, their sweethearts. their brothers, their
sons hom and unbom to the preparedness cause.
Flfth Avenue and the other thoroughfare.s they traversed have seen
cther parades?quite a few. They have seon gold braid and epaulata,
gleaming hayonct and flashing sword; ail the glittering and gorgeoui
panoply in which the War God cloaks birmHf. Their asphalt haa crea.>-d
under the wheel of grim caisson and splendid float.
Simplicity in Tremendous Plea.
But the tremendous simplicity of a ?-ity on the marrh in the rlothea
it work- in, of the interminable line and hne of derbioa. fedoras, caps and
:-traw.c, of biue suits, l rown suits, bla*k suit.s pepper and salt suits, dis
counted the pomp of a!l those processions that had gone before.
They were marching, aa on some other day and in aome other garb
they may march to face an enemy, for the protection of their home*.
They were the great unarmed, calling inartii-ulate'y for an adequati
army and navy which may wall America with steel.
F.very trade and every profession, every art and every business wa.
represented, and every degree of *Jiem. The general practitioner of tha
East Side -wung along shoulder to shoulder wtth tha frock-coatad spe
eialist of Fifth Avenue.
Doctors from the German Hospital and surgeons from thc Fren.n
Hospital buried the European hatchet as a common patriotism for tfbl
new land drew them together. The coffe': merchant kept step with his
t'UMnes-a rival's office boy.
k was a parade that would have done credit to a year of drilling and
preparation, yet the great majority of those who marehed had never don >
more than walk sbout their daily crrsnds before. That tha idea nf
