Three Generations
Of American, Soldiers
Parade Riuerside Drive

Under the soft green on the trees of
Riverside Drive marched three genera
tions of American soldiers yesterday.
Drums beat, bugles blared, colors fut-
tered as Of old; but there was a new
meaning IN the historic procession, for
the men who recalled Gettysburg and
Santiago were prophetic of the I'M
named battlefelds that await the men
Of 1917.
They came on first. these men who

as their sires fought for the Union and

them as they swung along with the easy
stride of youth-the crack Eth, the

Battery IL their gray cars.
Behind the 9TH Regiment trailed sew
eral lines of recruits in civilian dress,
their only insignia an armband bear
ing their regimental numeral. At their
heeie came the 22d Engineers, led by
Colonel Cornelius Vanderbilt.
The cheers that greeted those units
reached a climax when the colored
Guardsmen Of the 18th Regiment came
In signt. The newest unit in the New
York National Guard was fresh from
target practice somewhere in New
York; II was seasoned, and there
wasn't fiat chest in the outfit rs il

the Drive.
Then the demonstrations ceased. The
skies were bright and the holiday spirit
was strong. but there was something in
the sight OF the men trudging along be-

from me five boroughs OF the Greater
City, marched proudly by the review
ing stand, in front of the Public
Library.
There were boys in khaki, with
rifles en- their shoulders, boys in red,
white and blue or the colors of the
hundreds of schools, boys in athletic
uniforms. and even a few boys, mem
bers Of swimming teams, in bathing
suits.
At Intervals in the long column girls
had places. Most of them had some
part in the many floats in line. One
float was of girls alone, dressed in
the Tags Of the Allied nations and
wearing the colors of the nation from
which they or their forefathers came.
A japanese girl wore the flag of
Japan, a dark haired Italian the red,
white and green of her motherland,
and so it was with the flags of all the
enemies of Germany.
Notable features of the parade were
a review by state officials. city Off
Gals and National Guard officers. and
singing by the columns Of boys, three
miles. long. When the lines had been
moving for an hour and a half they
closed up, divided, and. marching to
the sides of the avenue, turned to
face the centre. Through this living
lane of boys, eight deep, the review
ing party rode slowly in automobiles.
IT included Governor Whitman, Mayor
Mitchell, Major General Organ. Will
lam G. Wilcox, president of the
BOARD of Education, and General
George W. Wingate, president of the
Public Schools Athletic League.
The reviewers were greeted with a
roar of cheers and the avenue became
a sea of red. white and blue as each
boy waved his cap in the air Each
company as 1t marched was divided into
three rows, the first wearing red caps,
the second white. and the tallest boys,
in the rear line, blue.
When the automobiles had passed the
chorus singing began, aided by bands
three blocks apart on either side of the
avenue. More than 100000 persons
stood with barred heads until the last
echoes of the music's strains had died
away.
The mounted troop OF Curtis High
School, Richmond, riding with the pre-
cision Of trained cavalrymen, gained
the greatest applause from those who
watched the parade.
Gustavus T. Kirby. chairman of the
leagues athletic committee. was grand
marshal OF the parade. His aids were
Michael A. Jones, Rowland A. Patter-
son. John J. McHugh and Edward j.
O'CoHnel.

and businesslike patriotism the hour
demanded.
At many places through the South,
as well as at points in the North, G. A.
r. and Confederate organizations
joined their services for the day. At
Chattanooga Field, at Richmond, at
Mobile, the spirit of harmony and fra
ternalization prevailed between the de-
tenders OF old causes.
Societies of foreign-born citizens,
anxious 20 show their patriotism, took
part in the demonstrations in several
cities. At Milwaukee, where they were
heavily represented in the parade, the
marching eliminated in a patriotic
mass meeting.
Throughout New England there was
little noisy celebration. In Boston the
services on the Common were impress
sive. At noon the six-pounders on the
old frigate Constitution doomed the ma
tlonal salute of twenty-one guns.
In Pittsburgh thousands filed past

Shortly after noon Mayor Mitchell,
with Mrs. Mitchell, Borough President
Marks, Major General Wingate and
members of his committee came along

climbed the starboard gangway to the
quarterback the city flag was broken
out on the mizzen. A platoon of ma

Rear Admiral Nathaniel r. Usher, of

which had conveyed the Mayor. They
gathered in the "eyes" of the dry land

Then Mayor Mitchell, in a brief
speech, offered the Recruit, with her
200 feet of length and her AS feet of
beam, her wooden guns and her real
compass and searchlight and sema-
phores, to the navy, and Admiral Usher,
even more briefly, accepted her. The
marine bandsmen played "The Star

that blocked traffic in the square stood
with heads barred the blue jack broke
out at the Recruits bows, the Stars
and Stripes astern and the two-starred
rear admiral's flag appeared at the

The Recruit will have complete equip
ment for examining applicants for both

baths and all modern improvements.
There will be gun drills on her decks.

AS the sound Of the battle cry OF the
war with Spain, shouted by 700 vet
Grams of that war, died away at a
memorial service held yesterday in the
Hotel Majestic. a voice near the door
shouted: "Sigsbee!"
Instantly 700 uniformed figures arose
and burst into wild demonstration as
Rear Admiral Charles d. Sigsbee, re-
tired. who commanded the Maine when
she was blown up in Havana Harbor,
walked down the aisle to the speakers
table. Hats were hurled in the air,
and the cheering did not cease until
the Rear Admiral, who was in dress
uniform, had taken his place at the
table.
Monsignor John P. Chadwick, who
was chaplain of the Maine. made an
eloquent appeal for volunteers to
crush the power of Germany.
"Please God, we will see every man
in Furope free" he said. 1--WE must
crush the despotic government Of Ger

minutes the crowds found their threats
and cheered these vivdlN dressed SOL
diers vigorously.
A band of Highlanders piped their
way through the lines to the tune OF
"Tipperary" and called attention to
the approach of another cOlored unit.
No young guardsmen these. though, for
they wore the faded blue coats and odd
little caps with patent leather peaks
that denoted the army of Grant and
Sherman. Eight of them walked. eight
others rode in open carriages.
Rarely five hundred soldiers OF the
once great Grand Army of the Republic
marched in the parade. They disbanded

Young leaves whispered softly in the
wind Of spring; through the city

had fought for America and lived

Ninety-second Street.
Some limped and some leaned heav-
lily on the arms of comrades. but deter
mination was written on their mouths
and pride CLEANED in their eyes as they
followed their tattered, faded battle
flags up the sunny street. There was
Captain Norman Leslie, who marched
with the survivors Of Phil Kearney
Post. No. s. His army coat was but
ternut shade and it hung in rags below
his knees. A great black hat covered
his face almost as effectually. but not
so that he could not look up at the
remnant of the colors he was bearing.
There were the Anderson Zouaves, a
surprisingly youthful looking squad of
veterans in their tasseled caps and poilu
trousers. For the first time in many
