Washington, October s-President Roos- evelt reviewed the G. A. R. parade in his carriage today, being carried down stairs from his room on the second floor of the temporary White House in an invalid's chair. He was accompanied by Secre- tary Cortelyou and Col. Bingham, his military aide.
 The President was driven along the en- tire line of the procession less than thir- ty-five minutes being consumed in mak- ing the trip. He was received with the greatest enthusiasm. When he returned to the White House Mrs. Roosevelt join ed him and together they started out on drive through the northwest section of the city, returning through Rock Creek and Geological parks but kept clear of the crowds. Several thousand people waited outside of the White House and cheered their return.
 The Presidents ride down Pennsylvania avenue along the line of march of the parade was an ovation for him and was source of great pleasure to the thou sands, of marching veterans and the hum dreds of thousands of people packed in the streets and stands. The delightful weather eased the minds of his physicians as to the propriety of the President leav- ing the room in which he has been con- fined since his return from Indianapolis.
 Careful Arrangements.
 The arrangements for the ride to the Peace monument, which was the eastern limit of the Presidents journey, were most carefully made by the physicians and Secretary Cortelyou. The physicians saw him during the morning and satis- fled themselves that he could safely make the trip. He was In excellent spirits and looking forward to the ride with intense pleasure The martial spirit within him was reused by the prospect of seeing and greeting the heroes of the great war The large landau belongin to the President, drawn by two sorrel horses, was driven to No. 22 Jackson Place, just before Il o'clock and few minutes later, when the head of the procession was reported to be rounding the treasury building, the President was carried down stairs in an invalid chair by four men. In front of the temporary White House for half a square each way, twenty deep 5000 or 5000 people greeted the Presidents appearance with shouts of welcome The President responded to these cheers by raising his hat and lowing and smiling When he was lifted into the carriage the President steadied himself on his right leg and hoped to the farther side, adjusting his injured leg to the board which had been placed there before his attendants could help him. Secretary Cortelyou joined him on his left and Col Theodore A. Bingham, in full uniform, occupied the seat in front.
 Mrs. Roosevelt Watched Him. Mrs. Roosevelt watched the Presidents departure from the window, and as the President drove away he saluted her by rasing his hat There was a wait of per haps ten minutes in front of the tenn porary White House after the President entered the carriage to allow the head of the big procession to reach the re- viewing stand opposite Lafayette park. A platoon of mounted police acted as an escort for the President. As the party swept into the broad avenue a tremend- ous cheer went up and the sidewalks and stands were white with futtering handkerchiefs. The President acknowl- edged the demonstration by lifting his hat and bowed right and left. In front of the reviewing stand the Presidents carriage was halted until the citizens committee and the escort of General Tor rance the commander in chief, had pass ed The journey down the avenue was made to the right of the oncoming col umn of veterans, the demonstration swelling in volume as 1t proceeded. Spec tators and veterans alike cheered the appearance of the chief executive. The return journey from the peace monu- ment was made on the other side of the avenue and at more rapid pace. When the carraige drew up in front of the Jackson place residence the horses were hecked with foam.
