To Weave Two Events.


The preparedness parade will not in
terfere with any plans for the depart
mental Flag day exercises to be held
on the Monument grounds. On the
contrary. 1t Is pointed out that the pa
rade probably will be the means Of
bringing to these exercises greater
attendance than would otherwise have
been the case. Secretary Columbus OF
the executive committee of citizens
was IN conference yesterday afternoon
with ROBERT Watson. chief clerk OF the
Department of Labor. who is secretary
OF the departmental exercises commit
tee. Mr.. Watson appeared to be enthu-
sfastic over the idea of the parade. He
suggested that Mr.. Columbus attend
the meeting of his committee at 4
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, when def
mite arrangements for the exercises to
be held on the Monument lot are to be
made. Mr.. Columbus will then be in a
position to report back to the citizens
committee with a view of weaving the
two events into one great Flag day and
preparedness celebration.
The suggestion has been made that
there be only one requisite for partici-
that is that every participant shall
carry an American flag or the national
colors In some other form. 1t is hoped
to have the parade present a contin-
the Pease Monument to the Treasury.
To Garry Their Own Colors.
But there also will be other flags in
the parade. for each organization par
ticipating will be asked to carry its
colors. The result will be an array
of banners, pennants. college flags and
other colors the like of which Wash
ington never before has seen. At the
head Of each section Of the parade will
be carried a banner indicating the
Identity of the organization following,
accurate understanding of the person
mel of the great procession in favor of
preparedness.
A factor that will go long way to-
ward making the parade a success will
be permission from Congress to arrange
for the stopping of street car trafflc on
Pennsylvania avenue while the process
sion Is in progress. With the street car
traffic stopped. 1t will be possible to
in the parade. With the street cars In
service this is almost impossible. police
officials say.
With the street car traffic stopped
ropes could then be stretched along both
sides of the Avenue. and the police would
see to 1t that all spectators are kept off
the street This would insure freedom
from all interference by the crowds The
stopping of the street cars would permit
the marchers to come up the center Of
the Avenue as they do on the occasion
of inaugural parades.
To stop street car traffic on Pennsyl-
vania avenue during the hours of the
preparedness parade 1t will be necessary
to get Joint resolution by Congress.

Enthusiasm for Parade
Shown by Boy Scouts
and Girl Scouts Heads

Already the assurance Is given that
there will be a large turnout Of Boy
Scouts and Girl Scouts in the pre-
paredness parade to be held in Wash
ington June ~. The heads of the local
branches of the two organizations came
out strongly yesterday afternoon in
Both the Boy Scouts and the Girl
Scouts believe in preparedness. The
motto of the former organization is
BE prepared" Both believe in pre-
ing better men and women, morally and
physically.
The participation of the Boy Scouts
and Girl Scouts will provide pretty
feature of the parade because of the
picturesque uniforms worn and the
flags carried. Each troop of both scout
organizations has its troop flag In
the Boy Scouts each of the four patrols
constituting troop has its charac-
teristic patrol flag. The American flag
is an essential part Of the equipment
Of both Boy Scout and Girl Scout
troops.
Ready to Do Their Part.
I'VE are ready to do our part to make
the preparedness parade a success"
said Mrs. s. NJ. colman. Girl Scout COM
missioner for the District.
I'VE expect to have between 800 and
400 Girl Scouts in line and nearly all
of them will be in full uniform. Their
ages range between eleven and eigh-
teen years: large proportion of the
girls are high school students.

to make the parade success"
H. H. Grogan: Boy Scout commits
sioner for the District. said that while
rades, the proposed preparedness pa
rade il one in which II is quite hitting
they should take part. He continued:
Preparedness in Other Lines.
Our motto 10 BE prepared We
have nothing to do with the military
phase Of preparedness. for the Boy
Scouts is not a military organization.
But we favor preparedness in other
lines. We believe We should prepare
to make better men by making better
boys, both morally and physically.
Washington will be glad to participate
in the parade. We now have nearly
seventy troops and should have we'll
over 1000 boys in line.
TN addition to participating in the
parade. our scouts will be ready At Q
moments notice to render first aid to
any ono that might be taken i'll or
meet with some accident. Our march
ing equipment prescribes nrst-aid out
dts for every scout. We will also be
prepared to render assistance to the
police in maintaining order at the Flag
day exercises to be held on the Monu-
ment grounds. Washin gton knows that
the Boy Scouts are anxious to make
themselves useful at every opportun-
ity and to do their good turn daily"

Then, following the roar and rumble
of that vast defamation, came the mo-

ceeds calamity too gigantic and toe
abrupt to be understood.
That ominous silence, however, last

arose muffied calls and thin cries for
help, followed by answering shouts
from many different points in the
darkness as rescuing hands set to
work on the ruins.
And out of those ruins, while this
work was going on. emerged two
bruised and tattered figures strangely
divergent in appearances. The first
figure, worming its way out through
the interstices of crumbled rock and
cement, as cautiously and as silently
as a wounded blacksnake might crawl
from cave, bore an iron claw at the
end of its right arm and betrayed an
unmistakable desire to creep away in
to the darkness before being observed.

showed no signs OF returning from

him he took powerful pocket flash

couple of extra clips of cartridges.
but the instrument on which he re-
posed the most confidence was q gun
metal disk little bigger than a pocket
aneroid, some three inches in dame

This innocent-looking disk, which
could be slipped into vest pocket as
easily as q timepiece. was known to
the habitues of the Owls Nest as the
Black Watch.
While actually nothing more than
small-sized hand grenade, its claim
to distinction lay in the tremendous
explosive power which stood COM
pressed between its slender metal
walls.
Legar was not coward. Yet as he
stood in the clammy midnight air of the
Golden mausoleum and quietly removed
the screws that held the top on the
black casket beside him. he found that
combination of silence and gloom and
unsavory surroundings little more Of
strain on his nerves than he had
anticipated. Yet as he lifted back the
sable cover of the casket he did so
with Q hand that was still steady.

Thence he took UP his fiashlight, and
pressing close to the collins side,
stood studying the pallid face that lay
surrounded by its even more pallid
drapery of white satin.
He stared at that pallid face long
and intently. He stared at it with stu
dious and narrowing eyes. Then he
did a strange and an inexplicable
thing.
Lifting his MANNED right arm that
ended in its shank of steel, he brought
1t down with q crash on the glass
cover of the casket. Then, as though
Infatuated by some unreasoning hatred
for the pallid face still staring 80 i'm
passively up at him, he struck again.
This time the blow fell directly on the
head between the white satin swath-
ings. But that failing arm, instead Of
striking human head Of flesh and
bone, crashed down through a thin
shell of fiber and tinted wax.
Legar, focusing his light on that
shattered mask, emitted q short bark
of triumph as the meaning of it all
came home to him. He leaned for
several minutes over the violated cas-
ket, staring at 1t with insolent yet abb
stracted eyes, bordering just what
move could lie beyond so intricately en-
gineered a subterfuge. And the an
swer to that question came more
promptly and more directly than he
had anticipated. For as he stood
there, turning piece Of the wax-cov-
cred tissue meditatively over in his
fingers, the electric bulbs that strung
the mausoleum roof broke into sudden
light. From different quarters of that
shadowy building, at the same time,
stepped q group Of hidden officers,
headed by David Marley himself.
So quickly and SO quietly did that
Transformation take place, indeed,
that the man leaning over the casket
had neither time nor chance to change
his position. He merely blinked q lit.
tie stupidity at the revolver which
glimmered in Manley's hand. Then,
with a gesture that seemed equally
stupid, he reached for his watch and
held the heavy gun-metal case medi-
tatively between his fingers.
Stick 'em up!" Marley was at the
same time commanding with . curt
head movement towards Legar's
hands. 1T may have taken some
work. but this u the time We gather

Clarence Emery Of NJ. c. I. came
fully upto the expectations OF his ad-
mirers in the 18th annual Bowdoin col
lege Interscholastic meet held on Whit

the meet with a total Of 35 points. EN-

the record in that event, captured the
low hurdles in 81 As sec. and easily
won both the hammer and the shot.
The presence Of Concord High of
Concord N H., made the meet far more
interesting than it would have been had
the competition been limited to teams
from the Pine Tree State. outside OF
Hebron. Concord took second with
% 1-3 points, Bangor third with 18 l-3.
and Portland fourth with IL. The re-

the 100 yard dash trials, the heat going
10 2-5 seconds.
The meet in general was rather slow,
and although we'll conducted was not
up to the standard of pep usually
manifested at such times. The alb
sence of Hebron Academy and her al

orally felt Saturday by those expert

siderable excitement to he spectators.
The work of Gray Of Bangor, who
took first in the high hurdles, and won
the high jump; and that of Sawyer of
Concord who captured the half. took
