HEADS' LINE QF PARADE IN HON
OR OF DRAFTED MEN IN
WASHINGTON-TUESDAY.
Washington, Sept. 4. The presi
dent and Congress of the United
States and the allied nations through
their diplomatic representatives,
joined today in paying honor to the j
men selected from the District oi to-
lumhia for service in America's na
tinnal armv raised for the battle for
democracy.
Washington, long used to glitter
ing processions, to the blare and
noise of inaugurals, opened its eyes
and cheered itself hoarse at the spec
tacle. For two hours, while in other
cities thrpughout the nation other
thousands moved over the first part
of the long road that may lead to
French battlefields, " Pennsylvania
avenue heard the tramp of marching
men, the jingle or spurs and therum
ble of artillery.
About twenty-six thousand men,
womenand children passed a review
ing stand before the White House
where the president and his guests
watched the parade. More than half
of the long line was ,m uniform.
There were regulars from infantry,
cavalry and artillery regiments sta
tioned near by, marines, men from
the officers' training camp at Fort
Meyer and hundreds of army and
navy, officers attached to the depart
ments here.
From the corner of Fifteenth
street where- Pennsylvania avenue
turns around thetreasury, the long
mile to the foot of Capitol Hill .was
one stream of flags in the breeze. The
president and those in the stand with
him were kept at salute continually.
No one of the dozens of officers of
foreign armies and navies overlook
ed the tribute due the emblem of the
great republic that has lined up on
their side to make the world safe for
the principles on which it was found-
ed.
President Wilson himself, eyes to
the front, stepping out like a freshly
trained recruit, marched at the head
of the long line surrounded by a com
mittee of citizens which arranged
the parade.
On Review ing; Stand.
When he reached the White House
the president left the ranks and took
his place ii the stand by Mrs. Wil
son. Most of the members of the
cabinet, the Japanese mission, Am
bassador Spring-Rice, of Great Brit-
am; Jus.serand, of Fi'ance; Minister
Calderon,.of Bolivia, and dozens of
officers in the uniforms of the armies
of the nations that are fighting Ger-
viany were in the stand with them.
At the head of the senate came
Senators Nelson and Warren, of the
Union army, and Martin and Bank
head, who fought on the side of the
viay in ti.e Civil war. There were
soventy emptors in line. The hmur-
turned out hundreds of its member
ship, headed by Speaker Clark and
Uncle Joe" Cannon.
For more than an hour the flood
that poured by the stand was in the
brown of the khaki-clad army, with
the exception of the fourteen hun
dred drafted men who, in spite of
their civilian clothes, marched
proudly and with more than a sem
blance of military formation.
In all the long line the drafted
men and the marines attracted the
most attention at the reviewing
stand. The 1.200 voune- ihpti wbn
are in training at Fort Meyer for
commissions in the new army, 'with
only 12 days of drill, swung by the
stand with ranks upbroken and with
the easy tread of soldiers. But the
marines, company after company,
swept past with never a ripple to dis
turb their steady flow.
Departments in. Line.
Behind the troop were the govern
ment departments. Secretary Baker
marched at the head of the war de
partment with Major General Scott,
chief of staff, and the ranking army
officers on duty here in khaki just
ahead of the clerks in civilian cloth
es. Secretary Daniels led the navv
department with Admiral Benson,
chief of operations; his aides and
scoresof officers in the summer white
of the- navy.
The navy clerks carried a half
dozen banners with legends that are
watch-words in the American navv.
T have not begun to fight" was one.,,
"Don't give up the ship" another i
uamn the torpedoes, go ahead" a
third.
There were several hundred vete
rans of the Civil and, Spanish wars in
the procession. An old man in faded
hlue, another in gray marched at the
head of the Americans who fought ,
each other in the ixtip a :
them floated Droudlv a hannar hoo, I
mg tne device "The United States."
On another with G. A. R. on it were
the words "Ready for duty."
. One of the features that brought
the crowds up cheering was found in
the hundreds of children represent
taff the Washington playgrounds.
They marched slowly by the review
ing stands, flags over their shoulders,
j c i i
in true military-fashion, most
them saluting but many forgetting
this honor to the president in their
eagerness to see what he looked like.
The food administration attractea
much attention. Herbert Hoover
marched at the head and behind him
came fifty women in blue uniforms
-...-vitfr rans. carrying a monster
flag.
30.OOO March in New York.
New York, Sept. 4. Thirty thou
cr.i pmhrvo soldiers. New York's
iZi A V. t
contribution to the great national
army soon to carry the battle flags
of democracy to the fields of France,
paraded today in 'three of the city's
five boroughs. Hundreds of thou-
anf7a-eheered them on their first
march as an army in the making.
The parade lacked the pomp and
setter of a military review but the
host of marchess, in civilian attire
rid carrying none of a soldier's trap
pings, roused the city to patriotic
fervor. They held their lines re
markably well for undrilled men.
"Splendid, splendid," exclaimed
Major General J. Franklin Bell, who
will command them at Camp Upton,
as the drafted men passed the re
viewing -stand.
Major' Mitchell marched at the
liead of the parade, leaving it at the
reviewing stand at Fifth avenue and
Fcrty-second street, where seats had
oeen reserved for thousands of rela
tives of the drafted men. Many state
and municipal officials and army and
na-vy officers were there as was Col.
Theodore Roosevelt.
Manhattan's contingent took part
in a celebration at the Polo grounds
after the"' parade, where .-the admis
sion to a baseball game was "ree to
every man witn the .distinguishing
khaki arm band.
