Hundreds of Invitations.
The program for the unwilling exercises
| is under the direction of the Secretary of
War. Invitations have been sent out by
the hundreds to attend the ceremony, guests
| from every section of the country having
| been invited. Scores of those to whom in
| vitations have been addressed have sgni-
| fled their intention of attending, and tickets
will be sent to them. On this occasion the
officials of the War Department decided
that the tickets for the stands should not
be sent with the invitations as numerous
invited persons will probably not be able
to attend. All invited guests were requested
to let the department know whether or not
they can attend, and tickets will be supplied
to those from whom favorable replies are
received. Col Charles S. Bromweu L. 8.
A, superintendent of public buildings and
grounds, has charge of this portion of the
eSerciSeS ana the clerks or his office were
| busy all day today sending out the tickets
| TO the different stands. The seating ar
rangements are said to be the best that
could be devised and ii Is promised that
| every person having a seat will be able to
see the ceremonies without standing up.
The military part OF the ceremonies Will
| be imposing. Troops from every branch OF
the army and sailors and ma rines from the
navy have been ordered to attend the exer-
cises, and Will be drawn up, formed into
provisional battalions before the arrival of
MI Chnd fr,x-ft tod
troops of the Ith Cavalry have been ordered
out for the occasion.
Will Have Military Escort.
The President, Ambassador Won Stern
burg and Lieut.. Gen. Loewenfeld will each
have military escort to the scene OF the
unwilling. The three carriages containing
these dignitaries have been timed to ar
rive at the barracks reservation one after
the other, Gen. Won Loewenfeld coming
first and the President last. AS each car
rage enters the reservation the Sd and 4th
Batteries of Field Artillery will fire the
salutes to which the persons in the car
riages are entitled. AS soon as the first
gun of the Presidents salute is fired the
flag OF the President of the United States
will be run to the peak on the flagstaff at
the barracks and will remain so until the
President leaves. Only the President will
be Saluted by the artillery he leaves the
reservation. There will be three bands in
attendance during the ceremonies. The
Marine Band will be stationed In front Of
the stand from which the speaking will
take place, and will render a musical pro-
gram before and during the ceremonies
The Engineer Corps band and the 4th Band
of the Artillery Corps will also be on hand.
These two organizations are said to be two
of the best In the army. The 4th Artillery
Band was heard at Gainesville, Va, dur
ing the recent army maneuvers by those
Washingtonians who were among Gen.
Corbins guests at that time.
