cessity cannot be settled finally. until
sufficient information as TO approxi-
mate numbers Of marchers is in the
hands OF the chief marshal.
Tentatively. the route, though sub
iect to change, will be from some
initial point on the east side of town,
to Front, to Market to Ninth, TO King
to Eleventh. to Market, to Tenth, TO
Delaware avenue to Broome, 10
Fourth, to Monroe and dismiss.
It was announced that the Cham
ber OF Commerce should provide a
band. TO be placed in the line wher-
ever the chief marshal should con-
slider its services the most essential.
Colonel Theodore Townsend and
the field and staff officers and COM
pany commanders OF the First Della
ware Infantry. held a meeting at the
State Armory last night for consul
tation regarding the participation Of
the regiment in the parade The
meeting was called by Adjutant Gen
eral l. P. Wickersham. and arrange
ments we're made for the participa
tion OF the militiamen, and the de-
tails OF their transportation and sub
sistence.
Two kinds OF parades in Wilmington
have never failed to crowd the entire
line OF march with spectators. One is
a hremen's parade, and the other a
military parade
The Preparedness Parade" on Sat-
urday June 10. will have not only
military and firemen's divisions, as
representative as any single parade
Of either. which has been held in Will
mington. heretofore. but these divi-
sions will be outnumbered by civilians
who. on similar occasions before this
have satisfied themselves with side
walk positions behind the ropes.
In fact, this parade will be COM
bnation on one day Of all that was
shown on seven days during viii
mingtons famous "Old Home Week"
celebration.
/ The fact that the militia Of the State
will participate in the parade, without
cent of expense to the city. and will
/ be reviewed with the rest OF the par
ade by their Commander-in-C Chief
Charles r. Miller, adds to the enthus-
iasm. In this division will be the Del
aware College cadets. and other semi
/ military and military organizations.
The fraternal organizations are
evincing unusual interest In the dem
Onstration, and from present indica-
tions the turnout of all fraternities
in this category will be surprising
even to those who are in close touch
with the arrangements.
Plans are rapidly shaping for the
participation OF the thousands OF chill
dren of the city, over II years of age:
the men and women in business, in
dustrial and mercantile pursuits
legion IN number, AS soon as possible
detailed plans concerning these divi-
siOns will be announced
The spectacle Of thousands of pa
triotic citizens. marching TO the music
/ OF more brass bands than have been
/ in Wilmington for many day, all of
them carrying the national colors. Is
sure to draw TO Wilmington people
from miles outside Of the city. and for
a day il will be another ingathering
OF the Chickens OF the Old Blue Hen.
