WASHINGTON, March 5.-Enthusi-
asm ran riot in the ovations accorded
AtIanta's Loyal. Legion as 1t paraded
noon. and passed through the pictures
que court OF honor in review before
President Wilson. The Legion. march
ing with precision Of a well drilled COM
pany OF soldiers, to the martial muslc
OF the Atlanta Drum and Bugle corps,
was at the front of the first brigade Of
the civic organizations. facing the Tam
many Hall contingent and the militant
marching club of the Cook County De-
naocracy.
Little Miss Dorothy Lzvshe. daught-
er OF Bob Lawshe, leading the drum
corps was the toast Of the town, and
was greeted along the line Of march
with noisy demonstrations. The drum
corps. in their attractive uniforms shone
resplendant In contrast TO the regular
army and military bands IN their more
sober uniforms The sight of them fill
ed the eyes Of the thousands Of specta-
tors in the reviewing stands. and their
music was provocative OF patriotic ell
thusiasm.
The Legion. lead by Mayor Asa G.
Gambler and the venerable Judge George
Hillyer. was acclaimed with popular
plaudits from the moment it swung into
line al the capitol behind the drum corps
until after il had passed through the
d. court of honor and disbanded far down
Pennsylvania avenue, beyond the White
House. The natty business suits of the
Legion members. the armpieces bearing
the word ATLANTA" the white hickory
walking canes and the black derby hats
made combination alike attractive and
impressive.

The inaugural parade was more than
e mere procession as part Of the cere-
monies; I was a patriotic demonsJra-
ton.
As the marching host OF some 80 900
tramped from the capitol to the White
House before thousands of Americans
the martial music and unmistakaDI,
note Of national patriotism recalled 10
many the days of more than so years
