Given Warm Welcome.

There was one organization in the
parade that prided itself on being the
most important unit that marched up
Pennsylvania avenue. One hundred
and fifty strong. this unsssuming
band was loudly cheered by those who
knowing OF its accomplishments hail
ed the heroes of 16.
These marchers were the Central
Democratic Club of Harrisburg, Pa.
In cutaways, silk hats, and wearing
rosettes, they carried light canes and
American flags.
The $50 modest Pennsylvanians
were proud of those flags and proud
Of the man elected to uphold them,
Woodrow Wilson, who was being in
augurated and in whose honor they
were marching.
Woodrow Wilson put himself
where he is" said one OF their lead
ers, "but Vance Mccormick, the Demo-
cratic national chairman, stood be-
hind him to see that he got there.

ATLANTANS IN LINE
Loyal Legion of Georgia Includes
Prominent Men.


The Loyal Legion of Atlanta pa
raded today in honor Of the President,
whose days of early law practice
were spent in that city. The march
ers were led by a fife and drum corps
from the Southern city.
The Loyal Legion is a civic rather
than patriotic organization, and
numbers among Its members many
men who were personal acquaintances
and fellow strivers with President
Wilson in his younger days.
Among these are Asa G. Chandler,
the richest man in the South, the
mayor OF Atlanta, and said to be the
only man in the South paying an in
come tax on mora than S1,OO0.O 900:
Judge George II. Hillyer, eighty
years old, who admitted President
Wilson to the Georgia bar, and Forest
Adair, a prominent realty broker of
the South.
The banner OF the phoenix, which
symbolizes Atlanta's rising from the
flames by which Sherman razed the
beautiful city, was carried by two
stalwart employees OF the Atlanta city
government, Lafayette Carter, OF the
Atlanta police force. and Robert c.
King, Atlanta firefighter. The At.
lanta delegation was dressed in busi.
ness suits with black derby hats and
yellow gloves. They carried yellow
silk umbrellas, wrapped tightly 20

GUARD RAIL AVERTS WRECK
Saves Train From PIunging Forty
Feet Into River.

STAMFORD, Conn, March "a
railroad disaster was averted yester-
day on the 1000 foot New Haven rail
road bridge over the Mianus river by
a yellow pine guard rail about six
inches square running along the
track.
An express train, eastbound, with
about 300 passengers on board, was
making twenty-five miles an hour over
the bridge when the third and fourth
cars were derailed. For a moment it
seemed certain that the two cars at
least would plunge into the river
forty feet below. But the guard rail
and safety chains joining the cars to
the rest of the train held. For $50
feet the cars plunged along the ties
before the train came to a halt.

BAND INSPIRED MEMORIES
Stirring Strains of Martial Air
Wiped Out Half Century.

The crash Of drums and the blare
of brass instruments as a band burst
into a martial air brought the crowds
which lined the Avenue early this
morning to military attention, un-
consciously.
Two men, old, gray-bearded, lean
ing heavily on canes were among the
namber. As the first strains OF the
music doomed forth, each ceased talk
ing. Their heels shuffled together,
their bent backs partially straight
ened. their heads were lifted a little
higher.
As the contingent came abreast of
them, both stood at rigid attention.
Then the band began to play "Dixie." :"
With a glance at each other the two
old men, limping to the curb fell in

our politics, and our social action. To
be Indifferent to 1t or independent Of
1t was out of the question.
Drawn Closer Together.
And yet all the while we have been
conscious that we were not part Of 1t.
In that consciousness. despite many
divisions, we have drawn closer to-
gether. We have been deeply wrong
ed upon the. seas, but we have mot
wished to wrong or injure in return;
have retained throughout the con-
sciousness OF standing in some sort

able we have still been clear that we
wished nothing for ourselves that We
were not ready to demand for all
mankind-fair dealing, justice, the
freedom to live and be at ease against
organized wrong.
Must Fortify Peace.
1t is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more
and more aware, more and more cer-
tain that the part we wished to play
was the part of those who mean to
vindicate and fortify peace. We have
been obliged to arm ourselves to
make good our claim to a certain
minimum OF right and OF freedom of
action. We stand firm in armed neu-
trality since it seems that In no other
way we can demonstrate what 1t Is
we insist upon and cannot forego. We
may even be drawn on, by circum-
stances, not by our own purpose or
desire, to a more active assertion of
our rights as we see them apd a
more immediate association with the
great struggle itself. But nothing
will alter our thought or our pur.
pose. They are too clear to be OBJ
scured. They are too deeply rooted
in the principles of our national life
to be altered. We desire neither con-
quest nor advantage. We wish moth
ing that can be had only at the cost
of another people. We have always
professed unselfsh purpose and we
covet the opportunity to prove that
our professions are sincere.
Many Things to Do.
There are many things still to do
at home, to clarity our own politics
and give new vitality to the indus
trial processes of our own life. and
