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.
