SOVIET DAY OF HATE AGAINST FASCISM.

GREAT DISPLAY. Hundreds of Thousands in Moscow Parade. HITLER CARICATURED. United Press Association. —Copyright. (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, September 1. The "Daily Telegraph" Moscow correspondent says that what the "Pravcla" describes as "the greatest demonstration of hatred of Fascism ever held," passed off with hundreds of thousands of young men alid women, followed by 10,000 boys and girls, marching past Lenin's tomb. The whole city was beflagged, and placards everywhere bore slogans. Some said: "Fascism is Preparing an Attack. Let Us Hit Back." "Down With Bloody Fascism." "Hands off the Spanish People." Sinmltaneousl}' it was announced that the 1914 class and half of the 1915 class of conscripts, and all men exempted in 1935, would be called up, totalling 900,000, and bringing the army to 1,000,000. This makes effective the decree of August 10 of lowering the age of military service from 21 to 19. Processionists carried many caricatures of Herr Hitler. One represented him as an ugly demon spreading death throughout the world. Stalin's dictum, "Pigs are warned to keep their snouts out of our garden," was prominently displayed.
