And for once, the parade came up to specifications and expectations. Block after block it stretched and tho it was made up of pedestrians and every variety of vehicle, it held together in a way that was well nigh marvelous. Marshals on horseback cleared the streets for the long procession, which was headed by an oxcart driven by an old time darkey that called to mind "Uncle Remus." He wore Massa's silk top hat and he walked beside the cart and drive while the women folks rode in state and work ed industriously at the old fashioned spinning wheel. "Mammy" smoked her pipe the while, and the Scene was one well known in song and story of the old plantation days. Then came vehicles of all kinds, many decorated in bright colors and with flags. The band played and a big banner proclaimed the occasion. Negroes in business here displayed thief signs, and then came the schools, making a splendid showing of pupils, teachers, banners and handiwork. A long line of automo biles followed, and finally the Boy Scouts and the Soldiers Just Vack from service completed the histori cal pageant, typical of the develop ment of the race and the many- changes that have marked th ter centenary of its life in Amerha. the land of the free, and the land of op portunity.

The failure of the German to hnnge materially is in no way bet ter to be observed than in his atti tude to the question of the conduct of the war. It is only rarely that a criticism of it is heard in the house, and the general feeling seems to be that, If anything was wrong with it. that is all in the past' and should be overlooked by Germany's enemies. The prisoner of war question is as puzzling to the student of German psychology just now as anything else. virtually every speaker, touches up on the prisoner question before l.e leaves the tribune. Tell a German, first, that the armistice made no pro vision for the return of German prisoners, and, secondly, that while Germany beg daily for food, she at tempts at the same time to saddle herself with 800,000 more mouths to feed, and it has no effect on him. It cannot be sheer pity for the wel fare of the prisoners, because plenty of Cermans know only too well how slim the food is.
