"A new Idealism has sprung up In the world," said the Suffragan Bishop, "transmogrifying mankind from a state nf lelflshnesa and a mere desire for In dividual pleasure and profit to a grow ing sense of the brotherhood of man. Thii has come as an outgrowth of the orld war. "The present, uplifting thought of thoee engasred In the righteous war en med In by America and her allies Is the thought voiced by the President no reace except It be founded upon liberty and Justice for all men. The Ideal Is not a selftih one, not one bawd on Individual ambition or of America's hope to pre serve liberty for herself alone. It Is an Ideal which bears a promise of truth and Justice and liberty to ail nations. It neralda the dawn of a day of Christian lore and brotherhood on the part of men toward men."

Rarely, If ever, haa a nation achieved the worth while ex cept by the shedding of blood. For fitly years America haa gone on piling up prodigious wealth and bowing to ma terialism. But the war la changing us. Idealism and aaerlflce ara the motives of true men. Idleness, luxury and friv olity are being put aside by the millions of American men nnd women thut are becoming Industrious, self-denying and nous minded. "We mtlRt ret It fixed In nur mliuli that a successful imperial Herman au tocracy and the republic of the United States cannot exist upon the same planet. They are absolutely Irrecon cilable and no peace can come between them. .Tttst as a patched tip peace In the civil war would imve resulted In calamity, so would such a peace in this war produce the greateat of calamities. It was a godsend to us. In the end, that the civil war waa fought to a finish. It will be a godsend when this war Is fought to the end, as it surely will be. No peacs In which Germany had any say would be lasting. There Is reason enough for fighting to the laet ditch. Scores German EaBclency. "Oerman efflclenev?' I would rather for myself that we lost every dollar we own nnd be considered inefficient than that we should exchange American lib erty for the so-called efficiency of the Ocrmans. thai efficiency which gets Ita mom notable resului through Tjrutal savagery and Inhumanity." Rev. Pr. Cornelius Woelfkln. pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist .'htirch, de manded that the German language be rorbidden as a spoken tongue in America. "Right here and now." said tho min ister, "I want to go on record aa being opposed to the Oerman language being spoken In this country. If I had my way, a fine would be placed upon every Teutonlo word spoken during the period of the war. Every Oerman newspaper ought to be put out of business." He criticised sharolr such Deraanaas object to "frivolous" songs In the American Army. "'It'a a Long Way to Tlpperary' Is one of the most Inspirational songs I ever heard." raid Dr. Woelfkln. "Let them sing these songs. It certainly will lighten their burdens. The title of one of tho Oerman songs to which my at tention has been called Is 'A Mighty Fortress la Our God.' And then, after singing this, the Germans proceeded to rape the Innocence of Belgium and to glut the world with atrocltlea inspired by the devil." The Rev. John Haynes Holmes, some times mentioned as a pacifist, speaking at the Church of the Messiah yesterday morning did not touch upon the war ex cept Indirectly. These allusions had to do with young men killed In battle and the love of life displayed by them In the heroleni In which they died for their cause, nnd to the long distance bom bardment of 'Paris. "We learn of nine Inch ahells dropped Into the heart of Tarls," aald Dr. Holmes. "No one among the Allies haa ever aeen tho run which could have fired such shells or any gun which could have fired that distance. Tet practically all of the experts of ths Allies have taken It for granted that such a gun must exist They do this on theory based on experience. In reality, tms is noming more than faith." The allusion was made in support of his argument that a future life must exist and must be accepted on faith. DAYLIGHT SAVED AT MIAMI Srrr Time Regulation Welcomed by Winter Resort Colony.

PASSOVER PARADE JUST 3 HOURS LATE Joe Levy, Dnko of Essex Street, Jilts East Side for Riverside Drive. WIRELESS GETS BUSY Harlem' Show Tuts Fifth Avenue's in Shade With Khaki Outfits. There was only one slip up In the Easter parades of yesterday, which, tak ing them by and large. Included the Fifth avenue parade, consisting of a flock of people going to church nnd then coming out of church: -the ISStlt itreet pat-ade In Harlem, the Iiusuwlck ave nue procession, which strolled reverently back and forth In front of Mayor lly lan's house; the Riverside Drive cortege held on the East Fide In Grand utrcet, Delancey street and East Broadway. Just as Secretary of Commerce Red field's cerise whiskers have taken on a khaki tinge In these martial times, ao did the favorite cerise of last Easter give way yesterday to feminine furbe lows of khaki cloth or khaki color. And except for the one slight parudo disar rangement Just hinted at the proces sions went nn their uninterrupted way from an hour earlier, by the sun, to an hour later, by the clock, than the EaMcr and Passover tiaradea ef other years. The only procession that had a hitch In It wns the Tassover parade In Grand street. The non-arrival of Joe Levy, the Duke nf Eseexfttreet, on the Kaet Side Joe has got stuck on himself ever since he left the East Side flat and moved up to an apartment house at 596 Riverside Drle, with a swell outlook on Grant's Tomb caused the annual Passover pro cession In Grand street to be almost three hours Inte, even by the sun. The Duke didn't show up on the East Bide for the first time In all the years that he has been the dean of the Essex Market Bar Association. Watted for Signal. Nobody dared to begin the parade in Grand street until the Duke'a Nile green limousine with the law library fitted above the tonneau seats had crooned softly from the Bowery Into Grand street, the arrival of the Duke's Rolls Royce with his combination Jsp valet chauffeur, lttchee, nt the helm being the signal In recent years for all the boys and girls to step out from their hiding places In the doorways and begin to parade. And bo 10 o'clock came yesterday forenoon, the run In the meantime say ing 9, and still the Grand atreet parade, right resting In the elevated railway shadows of Allen street, didn't dare begin. Eleven o'clock, 12 o'clock and finally the East Side began to grow Im patient Then down from Riverside Drive came one of the hybrid par rot -carrier pigeon, news carriers of the East Side Wireless News Association, with the verbal information that the Duke and his Duchess had decided to grace the Riverside Drlvu Easter parade this year which Is a Passover parade only in part. "We should be annoyed with Dukes and Duchesses that should make much money .ill their life on the East Side and spend It abroad." cried the East Side, once the East Side Wireless News Association's parrot carrier .pigeon had brought the word that the Duke and Ducheas and lttchee were parading their fineries along the Drive tnetead of In Grand street. "Oy ! Let us commence, the parade with Dukes and Duchesse3. We should worry !" Made l'i for Late Start. And so although the Grand ntre-jt parade was almost three hour? 'n get ting under way It made up for Its late start once it pot If stride. As the WMmjirr, published by Sidney Mendel baum. president of th Kart Side Wire less Association, will aay this morning "Diamond', which hnve gono up almost S1O0 n karat, were everywhere. There was no lack In variety of hats, trim them aei you will, Th'ls aeason there aro dif ferent atylea and names, more than any other year; a good many have fancy sol dier names. Some popular names to start with are 'sailors.' There are many mili tary styles, worn chiefly by the ladles In the Passover jisrade of yesterday In Grand street, which nre called the 'Yap hank Bennle.' which Is not nn overcoat, though It Is a paradox ; the 'aeroplane,' the Tenrtfly' and the 'Old Oaken Bucket.' which It should bo a shape to be had In yellow, green and white sometimes, like It was the n.it: of the new Irish republic, but mostly It la In khaki. "Millinery Row, it is from Broome streof to Houston street In Grand street, OyJ what a color scheme! Many styles and colors were sold yesterday In Mil linery Row, the Sabbath having ended 6 o'clock the night before. And such bargainings thero were. How much? Oemanded, say, Rosle. Two bonea, said the shopkeepers. You should be nr tested, cried Rosle and her mother. We should go to Mendclshonns two doon away and get the Identical thing for cne ninety eight. And such bargaining went on that many a swell looking colleen missed the whole parade, being's It was too late when the Roale and the other colleens got their mind made up on a hat." Plrst Mravr Hat Appear. The first Mriw hat of fie senon ap peared In rifth avenue at Kurty-fourth r.treet, wiien Frank Craven, an actor who Is widely known as the father of young John Craven of Great Neck, L. I., breezed cast from the Lambs Club Into the avenue at high noon wearing a three ply straw hat cleaned up to look like new. Mr. Craven, who Is famous In his own right as "the John Drew of tha North Shore," wore the straw bonnet on his thinning locks with a Jauntlness that took thirty years off his age. The Craven atrnw hat attracted as little, attention as the bareheaded "man In white" does on any ordinary day. And on tho straw hat side of the avenue and across the way, uptown and down town, there were so many soldier nnd rallor uniforms thut doubtless the wear ers theroof wished to goodness they dared Fport a morning coat, striped trousers, gardenia and three quart hlsh dicer In order to attract some attention. Old Jim Scarr, Chief Weather Guesser for tho general neighborhood, did him self ptoud. Jim did a fair Job last year also, but on recent Rasters he has taken so many bolts of rainy, cold and Scotch mist qualities of weather off tho shelf that a public which pays Jim to bo nice on Easier would not have been surprised yesterdsy morning If Jim had dealt out a rainy day before BlIpplnB off to At lantic City to spend Easter with Hlz xoncr the Msvor on tha Boardwalk. Hut the nrand of weather was so beautiful that even the rowhoat fleet." en tho lakes of Central Park decided to make n clash nut onto tho hounding ripples, submarines: or no Nulinmrlnes. The ho) . who swing the pick all week arrived at Central Park ut an early hour and peeled off their coats to rest up by pulling the family all over Swan boat Lake nnd tho othet ponds of the park from morning until It wa.i almost oa lata as the dock said It was. Conservative Harlem admitted openly that tho crowd which began to course east nnd west through 125th street yes terday at midday wai the most beatific and Dounteonsty apportioned Easter parade that even Harlem ever saw. And where there were ten girls In khaki clothes In Fifth avenue there were ten times ten In Harlem's Easter pageant, the samo being true of the procession that wandered slor.iy and lovingly tip and down before the unostentatious but Justly celebrated residence In llushwick where Hlxtoner would have been If ho hadn't been resting up from his Palm Beach trip beside the glad sea waves of Atlantic City. Even Zip, dot en of all freaks, came out of Freak Hall In tho Barnum & llalley circus and Joined the paradera. Three gentlemen who would- have won ribbons nt any b':nch show of press agents were with Zip when he headed himself westward from tho Oardeu toward the gaplnir throng of Fifth avenue, one at each of Zip's elbows nnd a little fat press agent behind tha dis tinguished freak pushing. They had skinned off the long fur which Zip has worn ever flnce P. T. Barnum n-r.onally roped Zip out of a band of wild, wild men In West Fifty third street thirty-two years ago, nnd partly lamed him for show purposes, it had been fiw Intention of the circus press department to get a new skin and fur for Zip of the same tawny texture as the one tho public had grown to love, thus hoping to keep the circus patrons convinced that the fur on Zip really grows from Zip himself outward. But the old Staten Island dyeing firm that prepared Zip's new Easter suit of fur accidentally ded his fur skin light blue which doubtless will cause the publicity department to explain the mis take succinctly Inside of two or three columns during the coming week in all the newspapers in town. If there were any automobiles In Fifth avenue by nildafternoon It waa because they had Just arrived from some other town within touring distance. So far as could be seen more automobiles than ever graced the sidelines at a Vanderbllt Cup race on Long Ieland In the old days atarted soon nfter the noon hour to xlp eastward over the East River bridges, north Into Westchester and westward on the Jersey bound ferries, thus de pleting the town early of the local sup ply. And when darkness fell they be gan to come homeward, with dust In the tonneau and throat, and all giving tluee dusty cheers for Old Jim Scarr. who 'i. d made good with hla weather as never before. OBITUARIES FAUX JOHANNES FELZ. Wasiiikotom, March SI. Paul Jo hannes Pels, 76, one of the architects of the Congressional Library, died In his home here last night. He waa a fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and designed public build ings In many parts of the country. His greatest work, that of the Congressional Library, ended In litigation nnd his dis charge from the contract, and his re employment later. Ills partner, John L. Fmithmeer, was ousted, although It was proved In court that the plans for the building were those drawn by the Ann of Smlthmeyer A Pelt. Smlthmeyer's death In 1906 obtained llttlo public notice, although the build ing he aided In designing Is recog nized as one of the finest public struc tures In the country'. Neither of the architects was made wealthy by the contract, which they won from forty other competitors In 1SU. Their work on the building occupied twelvo yearn, and during that time they drew salaries only, leaving the matter of compensa tion to the authorities. It wan testified at the subsequent Court of Claims suit, brought after Smlthmeyer had been dis missed, that the firm Itself had paid 50 per cent, of the gross earnings claimed. Congress never appropriated money to make the award, however. Mr. Pels waa born In Seltendorf, Si lesia, Germany, and began his education at a college In Breslau. He left at the age of 1 to rejoin his father In Amer ica, where ho had fled to escape perse cution for political reasons. He studied architecture from a Oerman In New Tork and early in his work was con nected with the United States Light house Board as architect. MRS. JOHN 0. L0CHNER.

"BLI'K BIRD" AT R1V0LI Maeterlinck Picture n Beauti ful Production Mary Garden nt Strand. Sergeant Arthur auyEmpy, hero of the Homme, author and lecturer, Is also an actor. In "Over the Top," a military photo drama suggested by hla widely read book of that name, which began an engagement at the Lyric Theatre laet night, he lived again several of the episodes which brought hlni close to death In the fight for hla country, lie appeared making tveeches to get re cruits and aollcltlng gifts of tobacco for me iioya in ine service, anu wiin a lino appropriateness of feeling he mado love to a girl, the love element having been added to the action of his story by the scenario writer, Robert Gordon Ander son, threading the thrilling circumstances of his Interesting book Into on adaptation to the drama. During the Intermission the little big fighter appeared on the stage himself and made on of his characteristic spe'eches against Germany and the Ger mans. To see him In the pictures and to see him tn person was an Interesting observation for the audience. In his speech, merely the tone of hla voire, the sincerity of his words and the defl nlteness of his gestures Indicated that he might lie a man of action. The pic tures showed him as a man of ery much action. Shown In Trenches. He was Introduced In them first, dash ing down a precipitous embankment on a fractious cavalry horse. Later he was shown on board ship going to England to thrust himself through the recruiting rules, while the "girl he left behind" In the play's role of Pergtmt James Oar rUon Owen was the Goddess of Lib erty. Fighting In the trenches and going over the top showed him with stern set face and a natural emotion of enmity for the German?. These pictures of the trenches and hand to hand fighting for tuc most part were almot an realistic as some of the official war pictures that have been shown. This is to the credit of Albert II Smith, president of the Vitagraph Company of America, which produced the picture. The influence of Empey la also shown In the picture through the exposition of the work of pro-Germans and German spies within the United States. Soma of this was melodramatic, toward the end showing Empey fighting a fatal duel at a banquet with one of the leaders of the spy system, and again, adding action, the little hero of the Semme was seen riding in a airplane driven by a Oer man. whom he at last quells by pointing a gun at his head. Indeed, the scenario writer has Introduced so many episodic actions that the drama of It Is some times confusing. Sincerity Unmistakable. Besides the sincerity of Empey, evi dently all during the filming with litis mind on the actualities of what he was playing, which made him a star actor of the ptcturo play, James Morrison made a splendid impression with hlei role of Aleert Lloyd, a man who wss afraid to enlUt, and who. after he got Into the fight, passing through such stages nf cownardlco as to be brought to faco the firing equad, went to a machine gun and killed one "wave" of advancing Ger mans, Bnd saved his fellow soldiers. Lola Meredith played the sister of this man and the (clrl In love with Strgrar.t Otcrn, If press agents' excessive use had not deprecated th" value of superlatives In deecrlblnf picture plays. It would bn n temptation to say that Maeterlinck- "The Blue Bird," which Is the feature picture at the Rlvoll Theatre this week, la the most beautiful film that Broad way haa ever seen. Maurice Tourneur haa exceeded anything that can be re called without difficulty in his visualisa tion of poetic subject matter. Tho art director, therefore, deserve! as much credit as Mr, Tourneu-, for tho beauty of the film is that nearly every flash Is an good as a painting. The trickery of the camera haa helped remarkably tn bringing "The Blue Bird' out of its printed look directly before the physical eye. The official Italian war pictures also ehown are tensely interesting. Ray nt Rlalto. Charles Ray, In a comedy drama called "The Family Skeleton," is tho at traction at the Rlalto Theatre, It Is a atory of a young millionaire Who suffers the hallucination that he has inherited an unconquerable thirst, A chorus gtrl who becomes fond of him dlve the hallucination. Toto. the Hippodrome clown, makes his debut In a hilarious picture entitled "Fare. Please." Mary Garden made a reappearance on the screen st the Strand Theatre yes terday In the title role of "The Splendid Slnrer."' nh" s n young woman of the smart set In Bohemia.

Storcli Brought to Funeral Establishment in Now York. SUICIDE REPORT DENIED Three Other Members of (Jroup Til Deportations May Be Halted. The funeral of Mine. Despliia D:ildo vltch Storcli, the Turkish spy suspect who died at Ellis Island Saturday, will be held this afternoon. The services will be In the Greek church on Fifty fourth street. Hut one limousine has been ordered, and that for the bearers who will accompany tha hearse from Fallon's funeral parlors, 14 East Thirty ninth street, to the church. The body was removed from Ellis Island Saturday afternoon to the undertaking rooms by permission of the, Immigration officials. Arrangements for the funeral were made by the parents of Baron ds Seville, com panion of the beautiful Turk. When the beautiful young spy suspect dies! Saturday of pneumonia Depart ment of Justice agents 'Immediately wired Charles F. De Woodey of the ucpariment or Justice, who was In the middle West. He started East Immedi ately and should reach here to-day. While It was thought likely the death! of the Beautiful Turk mlaht ODen the romantic story of her adventures in this country since she chummed with officials of foreign Governments, It now appears that so Important are the discoveries made by the Department of Justice In connection with her activities in Wash ington and New Tork that the chapters of Intrigue, detailing her association with army officers, Ambassadors and attaches. 'may never find their way out of the files of the Department of Justice. Nothing is known of the family of tho Turkish suspect. Sho herself told Mr. De Woodey that Paul Storcli. whom ahe married when he waa 17. and later divorced, was probably in the French army. No record was ever found of her marriage to Btorch, nor of the British officer, James Hasketh, who dropped out of the woman's life after aha used the name "Mme. Hasketh" while stopping In the Savoy Hotel, tn London, three yean ago. The parents of Baron de Bevllle will have charge of whatever arrangements may be made for the funeral. The grief stricken young Frenchman sent word to his aged father and mother In New York yesterday to take charge of the funeral. They are loyal subjects of France, and hold that the only tlngo of disloyalty cast upon their eon was his entangling association with Mme. Storch. He was Infatuated with the woman, and they ravelled together through the East. Bevllle Is 111, and so Is Mme. Nix. They are at Ellis Island, awaiting dr. portatlon to France as undesirables. Whether the death of the Beautiful Turk, who waa the brains of the group, will alter their position will he decided by Mr. De Woodey, who Is In sole charge of the case. There la a Presi dential warrant for their deportation, and their chances of meeting French Justice depends on how badly the Gov ernment of France wants them. France and the I'nlted States had an under standing on the disposition of the cases with Mme. Htorch as tho keystone, but the complexion of the case may be changed by her death. Mme. Nix has admitted receiving fs.ooo from Ambas sador von Bernetorff before he sailed away. Thre agents nf the Department of Justice guard he back room In a brownstoue apartment house on Fifty eighth street where the fourth member of the group, Count Robert 1e Clair- mont. lies dying nf a stomach disease. There is llttlo chance for his recovery, and his condition was auch yeeterdav that he waa not Informed of the death of Mine. Storcli. Efforts havo been made to ascertain the validity of his claim to nobility, hut all that l.i known concerning his Identity is that he trav elled with Mme. Nix ns her cotKn ol "Mr. and Mrs. Robert." Government officials yesterday scoffed st the rumor that the Beautiful Turk died a suicide. Since her arrest March 18 her physical condition grndunlly weakened under the emotional strain that overcame her when she realized the seriousness of her predicament. Her coolness In parrying question fell away she became dejected, downcoat and mor bidly, gloomy. This downheartedneas obsessed her from the tlmo she wa.i trapped Into a confession that she war at ono time known as Mme. Hasketh and waa on Intimate terms with the Ger man secret service.
