GREAT PROCESSION
Fifteen THOUSAND MARCH

BY Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Wash, May 26.--Rear Ad-
miral Charles S. Sperry, commanding
| the Atlantic battleship fleet, landed this
forenoon an armed force of 5000 men,
who made Seattle holiday by parad-
ing through the streets of the city. The
nghters on the sea were accompanied
by land force of coast artillery and
infantry from the neighboring forts of
Lawton, Worden, Casey and F1agler,
and local militia and civic societies,
which made nearly $4,000 In line.
The pomp of marching men caused a
thrill of patriotic fervor to course
through the arteries of 100000 people
who, though peace loving, were filled
with admiration at the display of the
fighting strength of their common
country.
When the undulating line of red
braided artillery, uninterrupted seamen
and gold-braided uniforms and martial
music came swinging along In unison.
with rifles and swords carried at an
unvarying angle, the perfection of dis
cipline through the unending lane of
humanity on sidewalk and in window,
the fighting instinct was evoked and
the worship of force was expressed by
bated breath and spontaneous acclaim.
There was not the confusion attend
ant upon the parade of the civilian, but
a clear cut, machine-like step. An
amusing diversion was made in the
middle of the procession by the appear
ance of twelve bear cubs, brought from
the city of Aberdeen to be presented as
mascots to the battleships. Each bear
was led by prominent citizen of Aber-
deem, and the antics of the cubs called
forth much laughter.

reached the little fellows became too
tired to walk, and their conductors
took them in their arms and carried
them past the stand. The parade was
started promptly at 10 o'clock in the
forenoon, under a Puget sound sky
fiicked with clouds. Z
AT the reviewing stand, where the
parade was greeted by the largest
crowds along the line, the scene was
one of spectacular interest to all for
tunate enough to be at that point of
vantage. The immense stand was filled
with thousands of men and women, the
letter in bright toilets that made the
stand a background for the brilliant
party on the reviewing stand, which
occupied platform exactly in the CEN
ter of the big structure. The enthusi-
assn began with the arrival of Rear
Admiral Sperry. Governor Mead and
Mayor Miller joined the commander of
the fleet in reviewing the column as it
passed. Immense baskets of rhododen-
drons, the flower of the state of Wash
ington, had been provided for a floral
greeting to the sailors and soldiers as
they passed the reviewing party. These
were distributed to the front rows of
the long stand and later went hurting
through the air to lie under the feet of
the paraders. Each division rs it passed
was greeted with applease and cheered.

Birthri@it.

We who 20 a-wonderlng
Up and down the year.
Come to trace the path OF Spring
BY her blossoms near
Hush to hear
Far ana clear.
How the winds her challenge bring.
We have secrets with the sun,
Al the Summer through;
Scent o. grass when day Is done
Hold hidden clue,
Stirs anew
Dreams half true
Count them over. one by one.
Well we know the sudden thrill
OF the Autumn air
Onward" squirting. "wlnter's chill
Calls for men who dare!"
Everywhere
Boughs hang bare
And we seek for meaning stilil
We who dwell with Certainty.
Dull and hard and gray,
Asking naught OF sky or sea-
Take your chosen way,
While we stray
Who can say:
Soul and spirit. fare you freel'
