There never was finer looking set of
men,"
That was the compliment paid the lst
Brigade of Phladelphia--and 1t isn't merely
complimentary nearly every visitor to
their camp, on Fountain Head Field, near
Colebrook. 1t Is a fact which was re-
marked upon by nine out of ten visitors.
The discipline of the men, severely tested
their very first night under canvas by a
heavy rain, remained unbroken throughout
the following gloomy day and is maintained
today with the same high spirits. Oticers
of the regiments and battalons unite in
praising the attitude OF the troops
General Price, commander of the brigade
set a good example the first night In camp
by "roughing It" with his men. While
other brigade commanders and their stairs
slumbered in semi-luxury in cots resting
on wooden platforms General Price and ms
adtutant general, Major whitaker. crawled
into their tent and rolled themselves IN
blankets for a night on the grass.
General Prices message to the folks at
home" was:
"The brigade is in good shape and eX-
cellent spirits"

comment from nearly every visitor at their

turned away, leaving 40 per cent. of very
fine young manhood.

POLICE DEFIED
BY SOCIALIST
Orator Pierce Says He VIII
Furnish His Own
Bodyguard.

Julian Pierce. Socialist speaker, an
nounced last night that he will speak
at Eighth street and Pennsylvania
avenue tomorrow night in defiance of
the police. who have revoked his per-
nit.
The permit of the Socialist speaker
was Cancelled yesterday afternoon by
Maj. Raymond w. Pullman, superin-
tendent of police. after a conference
with the District Commissioners.
Pierce said that he would notify the
police of his intention to speak, and
then do it. regardless of what hap
pens. If the police refuse protection.
he would have his own men there to
protect him, he said.
AT a conference Friday afternoon"
said Pierce. Maj. Pullman promised
me that he would allow me TO speak
with police protection, but suggested
that 1 cut out all unpleasant remarks
about the militia for the time being,
stirred up. Friday night l did not
say anything specifically against the
militia, and if Mai. Pullman has re-
voked my permit, he has absolutely
broken faith with me-"
Pierce said that he spoke as the
of a political party on
the eve of a Presidential campaign.
He resented the revoking of the per-
nit of that party by a Democratic
chief of police. He said that the fight
in the courts, if the police refused to
allow the meeting, would be made on
solely political lines in the cause of
free speech. 1t would be a test case
of free speech for a political party in
the Capital of the nation, he said.
Julian Pierce is national committee
man for the Socialist party for the
District of Columbia. He is also the
Washington correspondent of the New
York Call, a Socialist daily.
