Start From Peace Monument.

The parade proper is to start from
the foot of the Peace manument. All
will be in readiness to march promptly
upon the arrival of the President, and
as he is noted for his punctuality, 1t is
expected that the start will be made
exactly on the hour of o'clock.
Points of vantage will be from 9Th
street northwest on, however, as some of
the participating units will not join until
5th street is reached. Arrangements for
the evacuation of the line by the several
organizations have been completed in
such a manner that no slowing up may
be necessitated at any point on the line
of march.
The Marine Band is to return to the
front of the reviewing stand after the
President has entered his box, and will
play for any organizations which do not
happen to be accompanied by a band
Every organization has been urged to fur
nish a band, however, and according to
present prospects an abundance of music
will be furnished.
One of the latest government branches
to indicate it's intention of marching
was the food administration which
last night sent word that it would have
a unit of 400 participating.
All members of the Department of the
Potomac. G. A. R.. and all civil war
veterans in general are urged to take
part in the demonstration. in a letter

Senator Martins Effort to Have Sem
ate Recess Tuesday.

Senator Martin sought by unanimous
consent in the Senate yesterday to have
adopted a motion that the Senate agree
to take recess at 80 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon until IL o'clock the following
morning, in order that senators might
participate in the parade. Senator La
toilette demurred, however. fearing that
debate on the war tax bill might he
curtailed, and suggested postponing the
motion, whereupon Senator Martin
withdrew his request
1t will probably be relieved Tuesday,
when the course of the debate is clear
er, and it is thought that no objection
then will be made.

pear in the line to show their appre-
citation of the patriotism of their more

that all who are physically able to do

WILL AID IN HONOR|NG
THE NATIONAL ARMY men
Military Service Legion Members to
Serve as Platoon Chiefs in
: Parade.

Col. Richard d. Simms. president of
the Military Service Legion. announced
last night that all plans had been COM
plsted for rendering assistance to and
lining mp the selective draft men who
will participate in the big parade Tues
day afternoon. In view of the decided
turn out Tuesday, as compared with
the number who participated in the
drill Friday evening IN Convention
Hall. II has been arranged to have as
many members Of the Military Service
Legion as possible to act as chiefs of
platoons and guides In the parade
This decision was reached following a
conference yesterday afternoon 1t is
expected that about 1000 men selected
for the National Army will be in the
parade, and in order to keep perfect
alignment II will be necessary for every
available instructor in the legion to
assist. As a number of members are
connected with the various government
departments they have been ordered to
parade with the department STATS.
Members of the legion also will be de-
boards. which will precede the selected
men in each of the eleven divisions.
Make an Excellent Showing.
The excellent showing made by the roo
men who turned out Friday night proved
very gratifying to the members of the
committee having the big pageant in
charge. While 1t necessitated considerable
hard work on the part Of those engaged in
explaining the various foot movements
turns and marching points the instructors
felt well repaid at the conclusion OF the
drill for their efforts. With the aid of
those draft men who aprticipated in this
Instruction and the large force of men-
6srs Of the Military Service Legion that
Win turn out Tuesday, it is expected that
the 800 or more men who did not report
Friday night will be able to advise the
