THIRD GRAND DIVISION.

Accumulation of the debt of gratitude

Tended the Union in the civil war was
expressed after the Grand Army of the
Republic, leading the third grand di-
vision, had swung into line of March

the Potomac. Some Of the more feeble
Of the veterans did not get into the pa
rade until the column was passing 14th
street. Meanwhile they had been gath
ering in the offices of Col. John Nc
Elroy, at 14th and E streets. During
the five blocks that these enfeebled
veterans marched full of zeal to again
salute the chief executive as they pass
ed his reviewing stand they were given
a constant ovation by the thousands
dent Wilson was especially gracious as
the veterans passed, leaning forward
and bowling sympathetically in response
to their salutations. The veterans
echoed their service of half century
ago by the legend on the banner behind
which they marched: Ready Again for
Any Duty
Following the veterans of the civil
war came those of the war with Spain

the entire parade was the participa tion
of thousands of cadets from more than
score of military schools and col

emphasized the preparedness spirit of
the times. All of these were uniformed
and most of them wore gray. patterned

Departure From Capitol.

The thousands were still applauding
the Presidents inaugural address, ex-
pressive of his realization of the great
duty imposed upon him for a second
term, particularly at this hour so mo-
mentous in the nations welfare. as the
chief executive walked from the stand,
took his seat in the waiting carriage,
and the parade started at signal from

grounds at the corner of Delaware ave-
nue. and street, the parade passed
down street until 1st street was
reached. when it turned south, and,
wheeling about the Peace monument,
started up Pennsylvania avenue.
The formation of the presidential
party and its escorts on the return trip
was the same as when going to the

AS the carriage left the White House
grounds by the northwest gate, the Off

salute given by any of the escorts in

Early Assemblage on the Avenue.

As early as S O'Clock this morning
groups began to gather along the
Pennsylvania avenue curbing, to hold
vantage points for cloSe-to observation
of the parade. Hundreds of flags were
waved by these watchers and by groups
of pedestrians. The downtown streets
were gay with the national colors and
the air was filled with the music of
many bands as they marched to their
respective stations in the streets radi-
ating from the Capitol.
The departure of President Wilson from
the White House for the Capitol was sig
nalized long before the event by the
gathering in the neighborhood of the
troops for the different escorts of the
procession. and eager throngs anxious to
see the chief executive.
In contrast to the inauguration four
years ago, when Princeon students lined
the lawn in front of the White House
and sang college songs in honor of the
principal figure of the occasion, this morn
ing the crowds were kept at a distance
by tn, closed gates. and the departure

peatedly raised his hat as he passed
the observation stands. As each car
riage passed the Vice President, inau-
gural committee chairmen and the
members of the joint congressional
committee for the inauguration also
returned salutes to the greetings of the
enthusiastic crowds.
Arrival at the Capitol.
AS the presidential escort swung at
Peace monument to circle the Capitol
grounds the Marine Band, making a
vivid picture in their red uniforms. fell
in behind the platoon of police and fol-
lowed them through 1st and B streets,
entering the Capitol plaza from the
north at Delaware avenue.
As the grand marshal and his staff
reached the plaza they executed
movement that threw them into dou-

the President and those of his party
