Demand for Civic Parade.
The suggestion made yesterday as to
the organization of a great parade of
automobiles, decorated with flowers, as
one of the features of the encampment
week has revived the demand for a
civic parade Secretary Bulkley is one
of the most earnest advocates of this
feature of the encampment. believing
that the Red Men. the Uniformed Rank
knights of Pythias, the various Masonic
and Odd Fellows organ cations, together
with such industrial displays as may be
forthcoming from the navy yard, the
Government pintiug Office, the Bureau
of EngraviIg ard Printing. and other
branches O. Ie Government service,
where unusual work is done. would add
much to the enjoyment of the visitors.
Universal regret has been expressed
at, the opposition of Gen. George H
Harries. commanding the District mill
tia. who is chairman of the committee
on military review and parade, to
the participation OF these organiza-
tions in the military parade on
Naval Day. Tuesday October I.
Even Chairman Warner was inclined
to look with favor upon the proposition
TO have the civic bodies participate until
General Harries entered protest.
The revived purpose is 10 organize 4
distinct parade of civilians for some
other day, and to exert every endeavor
in friendly way to overshadow the
showing Of the military. 1t is believed
that If the local dealers in horseless We
hicles will take the initiative in or
ganizing parade OF the various self
propelling vehicles which are to be found
on the streets of Washington, that the
citizens committee will give the move
ment their material support in the prob
able Offering of several prizes for the
best decorated vehicle.
4 number Of automobiles decorated
with flowers would form the basis of
parade such as the city has never seen
before, it is said.
For the Big Reception.
a letter was sent yesterday by secre-
tery Bulkley to Mrs. Ellen Spencer
Mussey. chairman OF the Woman's s Aux
Hilary, who is spending a few weeks at
Breezy Hill, Sexton, y. H. informing
her that arrangements had been com
pleted for her committee to have the
use Of the large parlors and banquet hall
OF the Arlington Hotel for the big re-
ception which the women's organiza
tion5 propose extending to General Tor
rance and the national officers OF the
G. \. r.
The letter was in response to one
from Mrs. Mussey. In which she stated
that she saw By the papers that no pro-
vision had 5een made for this gathering
at Convention Hail. Mrs Mussey state.
that all ol her plans had contemplated
the use OF that hall Tuesday night. and
that had she known that 1t would not
nave been available she would have ap-
Iealcd to Congress for the use of the
iotufda Of the Capitol
In replying Mr.. Bul!ley stated that I,
gave MIN great pleasure TO be able to

tory arrangements that had been made
