Wilson, President Of the United
States immediately after the star
spansied Banner was played.
One Of the biggest musical hits Of
the evening came when the Camp
Meade Glee Club. composed OF fiye
Washington young men, sang several
OF Their famous songs. They were
repeatedly encored. Especially pop-
ular was their song, THE Boys of
Washington" which recites how sin
ninety days wen sail away: Yea, Bo
Miss Law ON Scene.
A pleasant surprise was enjoyed by
the audience when Chairman KEEPER
introduced Miss Ruth Law, ayiatrix
extraordinary. Miss Law, who was
dressed In her flying clothes, acknowI-
edged their approval by chic military
salute.
Between each Of the addresses were
sandwitched spiriting songs and vocal
numbers. For the first time In their
history the Kallipolis Grotto Band ana
the Fraternity Band last night played
together. Julius Hamper, director OF
the KallipoIis Band, led the aggrega-
ton OF musicians.
george +. Moore, sovereign grand
commander Of the A. A, s. R. of the
southern jurisdiction. and the second
speaker on the program, impressed on
his hearers the fact that their craft
was seldom seen In public except for
ritualist work. but in such unusual
times as these they were happy to use
unusual methods to gain America &
goal.
Pandemonium reigned when the rep
resentatives of the allied armies spoke.
the audience repeatedly voicing its ap-
probation by cheering. Those who
talked were Capt. ]. Rouvier, of the
French army; Gen. Guglielmotte, mill
tary attache of the Italian F'mh" rr''.
and Col. A. c. Murray, military at
tache of the British Embassy. Lieut..
Col. Herbert A. White, of the United
States army, and Arthur Brisbane, edi-
tor of the Washington Times, also
made brief address.
Receive Hearty Welcome. 9.
The District committee on train
ing camp activities co-operated with
the Masens and every man in uni
form received a hearty welcome. Col.
L. 7. Hess. chairman Of the COM
mittee on arrangements. took care
Of this feature.
Another musical feature of the pro-
gram was cornet solo by Walter
Smith, of the United States Marine
Band.
Before the rally began there was a
meeting of the Ashlar Club Of Master
Masons of the State War and Navy
Departments, the White House and
the Civil Service Commission. Presi-
dent Hubert g. Mclean. presided at
this meeting.
The Masons staged this grand rally
in honor Of their country's sol2iers
and sailors and to emphasize their un-
bounded interest In them and in all
that pertains to their comfort and
welfare. When the last speaker had
been heard it was the unqualified
opinion of every Mason present that
their high notified plan will bear
rich fruitage.

THE INTOLERABLE ROOSTER.

The hen Is not at all proud -spir-
tied. She differs in that respect
from her rooster spouse. Whether
her marriage vows bind her to love
and obey him and to drudge and
lay for him, as in the case of human
mortals, I am not ready tos-state.
but 1t would seem very much that
way by the naughty air chanticleer
assumes toward her ladyship.'
Married roosters are far more sell
fish than husbands of the human
tripe. A man, even though he de-
tests housework. will sometimes
condescend to carry a scuttle Of
coal or turn the wringer on wash
day. But you'll never find a rooster
willing to interfere with hens do
mestic affairs.
