Comment All Favorable.
That nowhere Csc IN the United
States can Washingtou's birthday be
celebrated so fittingly, with a military
display Of such excellence and with
an actual fignIing force Of such mag
nitude as the one witnessed in Homo
lulu this morning, was the general
comment along the line as squad after
squad CT the khaki-clad men tramped
by. This was more closely observed
and remarked by these in the review
ing stand, and the praise and hand
clappiag approval was unstinted there.
Along the line where the people
stood massed, the demonstration, Of
Uncle Sans fighting strength was. not
greeted with noisy shouting, laughter
or ribald remarks. All were too in
teHsely interested to dream Of apprev-
Ing in that manner. There was some
thing awe-inspiring in the spectacle.
