Washington. - The President and
Congress of the United States and the
Allied nation, through their diplomatic
representatives, Joined Monday in pay
ing honor to the men selected from the
District of Columbia for service in
Americas National Army raised for
the battle for democracy.
Washington, long used to glittering
professions, to the blare and noise Of
inaugurals, opened its eyes and cheer
ed itself hoarse at the spectacle. For
two hours, while in other cities
throughout the nations other thou
sands moved over the first part of the
long road that may lead to French
battle fields, Pennsylvania avenue
heard the tramp of marching men, the
jingle of spurs and the rumble of
artillery.
About $4,000 men, women and chill
dren passed reviewing stand before
the White House, where the President
and his guests watched the parade.
More than half of the long line was in
uniform. There were regulars from
infantry, cavalry and artillery regi-
ments stationed near by, marines, men
from the Officers Training Camp at
Fort Myer and hundreds of army and
navy officers attached to the depart
ments here.
The Stars and Stripes waved from
the reviewing stand, from the build
ings along the broad avenue, from the
head of every unit and in the hands Of
most of the civilian marchers.
All Honor the Flag.
From the corner of Fifteenth street,
where Pennsylvania avenue turns
around the Treasury, the long mile to
the foot of Capitol Hill was one stream
of flags in the breeze and sparkling
under a cloudless September sky. The
President and those in the stand with
him were kept at salute continually.
No one of the dozens of officers of
foreign armies and navies overlooked
the tribute due the emblem of the
great republic that has lined up on
their side to make the world safe for
the principles on which II was founded.
President Wilson himself, eyes to
the front and stepping out like
freshly-made recruit, marched at the
head of the long line, surrounded by
committee of citizens which arranged
the parade. Behind him, in unbroken
ranks, came most of the members Of
the Senate and House, in such
tribute as they probably never have
given on any occasion in the long
years since this country became
nation.
When he reached the White House
the President left the ranks and took
his place in the stand by Mrs. Wilson
1t was the second time he had gone
afoot over Pennsylvania avenue. The
first was when he led the preparedness
parade before the United States went
to war. Most of the members of the
Cabinet, the Japanese mission, Ambas
sadors Spring-Rice, of Great Britain;
Jusserand, of France; Minister Calder.
on, of Bolivia, and dozens of officers in
the uniforms of the nations that are
fighting Germany were in the stand
with them All stood for the two
hours with eyes steady on the spec.
tacle The President sat grim and
unsmilng most of the time, watching
intently while all trappings of war
came by.

show all men everywhere not only
what good soldiers you are, but also
what good men you are, keeping your
self fit and straight in everything and
pure and clean through and through.
Let us set for ourselves standard

up TO it and then let us live up to it
and add a new laurel to the crown of
America. My affectionate confidence
goes with you in every battle and every
test. God keep and guide youl

Thrift on Toll Roads Only.

Thrift on Toll Roads Only.
The attention of the State Highway
Department was called to an editorial
in "The Philadelphia Record" stating
that in some counties in the State
advertisers had erected along the
roads signs constructed in imitation
OF the standard railroad crossing
warning. to stop, Look and Listen
for the locomotive, bearing thereon
advertisements of merchandise, cal
culated to cause carelessness on the
part of automobile drivers and result
in accidents.
II is stated that 1t has been the aim
OF the department to eliminate all
advertisement from the rights of way
along State highways; but the signs
In question are along toll roads, over
which the department has no juris-
diction until the State acquires them.
Several years ago the men in charge
OF State highways all over the State
were directed to tear down any ad.
vertising signs found on the right OF
way OF any State highway, and there
has been no report Of the orders being
disregarded.

Cities Do Not Cooperate.

Lack of cooperation on the part
of all cities in the Third-Class City
League was blamed at the convention
OF that organization for the failure to
have passed at the recent Legislature
many important amendments and
laws needed in the commission form
OF government. Appeals for extensive
cooperation on the part Of City Coun-
ellis all over the State resulted in
authorization to appoint legislative
steering" committee to report at the
convention next year on the best
method to use in lobbying for needed
legislation. Mayor Miles B. Kits, of
Erie was among the leaders in urging
delegates to do all in their power to
have the needed laws passed.
Erie was chosen for the 1918 meet
Ing after invitations from Mayor
Kits, Coatesville, through Solicitor
W. F. Greenwood, and Hazleton,
through Mayor James G. Harvey, also
had been extended.
A comprehensive report OF all laws
passed and those which did not go
through the last Legislature was pre-
scented by Solicitor james A. Gardner
OF New Castle. chairman Of the Law
Committee OF the League.

to camp. In the rest Of the country
the railroad trip required only few

Next Call September 10.

The remainder will be called out in
increments of 40 per cent. on Septem-
Der 10 and October 3 and of Is per
cent at a date to be set later
As soon as the troops are settled
down in camps President Wilson, will
make a tour Of the sixteen canton
ments TO review the men and see how
they are progressing in their training.
AS commander-in-chief of the Army he
will inspect each camp and get an
idea Of the progress made by the men.
Indications are that at least nine
months training will be given the
draft recruits at the various mobiliza-
tion camps before they are called
upon for active service. This means
that none of the conscripts will be
moved overseas until July, 1918.
Appeals Pending.
Some of the men mobilized and
others under mobilization orders still
have appeals for discharge from mill
tary service pending, These appeals
have been rejected by the local and
district boards but the men are carry
ing them to the President. Mr.. Will
son has as yet made no arrangements
to handle these appeals, the regula-
tions providing that pending action
upon them the men must go to camp.
General Crowder also issued a ruling
that while drafted men may go only
to the camp of the district within
which the local board with which they
registered is located, to prevent hard
ship and undue expense in certain
cases, where men would have to make
long journeys to return to the original
jurisdiction they may be permitted to
transfer to the local board where they
now are and 90 to the camp where the
quota of that local board is mobilized.
