THE PLACE OF HONOR.
1t is proposed to give the boys Of the
Tenth the right of the line of the Penn
sylvania division of the parade in New

| The officers. sailors and marines OF
Admiral Dewey's flagship have many
Interests in common. They were often
together in Luzon. The Pennsylvania

ments that we're assigned TO duty near
them in the military operations on
land

the Tenth from Pittsburg will be made
in the daytime or by night has not yet
been settled. Some persons think that
the men should travel thro".h Fenn~
sylvania by day, in order 10 allow the
| residents of the eastern part of the
state to see the soldiers Others wish
to travel by night
