/ Washington was plainly shown during
the parade by the greeting given the con-
tingents from Dixie. The enthusiasm
began when the band heading the First
regiment marched past the President
playing Maryland My Maryland.n Men
and women shouted and waved their
handkerchiefs, and the enthusiasm did
not cease until the band had exhausted
itself and was forced TO stop. With this
air as an initiation the thousands Of south
ern people along the route let their
brethren in the ranks know that the en-
| couragement of stentorian shouts Of APP
plause might be expected until the march
was over
