BE ALLOWED In THE
PARADE.
NOW HE is SORRY HE DID 1T.
THERE is SUCH PRESSURE FROM
THE INVALIDS AND
GRIZZLIES.
CAMP MASON IS UNDER GUARD
Military Station and Rapidly
1rowing.

Commander Walker wants to hedge,
but the citizens committee will not
assume the responsibility, and the
head of the Grand Army will doubtless
stick to his positive order that there
be no carriages in the parade next
Wednesday. But this will be the cause
Of serious discomfort to numerous
posts that have mascots and eagles
that have heretofore been accorded the
right to ride in carriages in the Grand
Army parade.
Some time ago Commander Walker
came out with a positive order that
there be no carriages allowed in the
parade Subsequently this was modi-
fed to allow one carriage for the use
of William Shakespeare. The citizens
committee was obliged to refuse re-
quests from many prominent and dis
tinguished persons who are unable to
participate in the parade except in We
hicles. 1t was the intention of the
managers of the soldiers home to
bring the crippled veterans from that
institution and allow them to partici-
pate in the parade by placing them in
decorated carriages. But Commander
Walkers order interfered with this ar
rangement, and the heroes at the sol
diers home will not be able to take
part in the celebration on Wednesday.
All requests for permission to use car
riages were eventually sent to Com
mander Walker, and now he is sorry
he ever said it. The pressure has been
so great that he has written he is will
ing to recall the order if the citizens
committee will assume the responsible
ity. But the citizens committee is
keeping it's hands off and letting the
commander wrestle with the question
and bear the burden of his own ruling.
1t is probable that William Shak-
speare's vehicle will be the only one
in line on Wednesday.
