in readiness to receive the president Long
before he was awake a committee repre-

mass and was all but carried off his feet.
So inadequate were the police arrangements
that the crowd had entire control Of the sit

the president, after reviewing the veterans.
was escorted into the hotel for luncheon.
Here again the carefully laid plans for
his entertainment went astray. Luncheon
was served through the gallantry OF the
governors stan, who turned to walters. The
presidents speech at the park was most
favorably received. AS in the case Of Ban
gor, he admonished his hearers to remain
still and not to shove. A great crush oc-
CURED at Concord as the train was pulling
out and for a time 1t was feared people
would be hurt.

every reason why we should put stop 20

been possible to get at any soldier who did
wrong he has been punished. but the fact
remains that you and those like you IN
