SEEN AND HEARD ALONG
THE LINE OF PARADE

AS the Districts contingent of
selective draft men strode down the
Avenue, a woman onlooker expressed
the thought that was probably on the
minds of many others. when in call
ing attention to their far from per-
feet alignment she said: They
certainly are mixed up, but they'll
get there just the same"
Among the standees along the side
walks were fathers and mothers and
cousins and aunts OF the soldiers ard
selective men who were there to see
their particular bill" or Walter
so by. See If you can see Walter in
there?"
Isn't that Joe in the front rank?''
Such were the questions they asked
And the answer was more than likely
to be, II can't make them out, they
all look alike
There was only one real reviewing
stand, but ther were OF hundreds of
improvised ones. One either side of
the upturned boxes, chairs, barrels,
buckets and even sacks OF -four and
grain borrowed from an obliging
groceryman added many inches in

Washingtonians had a view Of dis

prominently against the white con-

At Fourteenth street and Pennsyl-

eating penny ice cream cones. and
speaking words of wisdom regarding
the marchers in the parade.
When the division containing the
kiddies OF the Districts Fairgrounds
arrived at this spot. the small critics
were loud in their denunciations Of
the "sIssies," as they termed the boys
holding the hands of the little girls.
When the older boys carrying
wooden guns appeared, however. the
young audience ceased their criticism
and. with wide eyes. spoke the praises
OF the boys who were initiating the
real soldiers.
Another Of the first time" views
for Washingtonians yesterday was
the silken banner of the police de-
partment which appeared in public
for the first time yesterday. At a
little informal sort of a ceremony, in
the presence of several officials of
the police department. the flag was
taken out OF its castings and wrap
pings by Maj. Pullman. 1t will ap-
pear hereafter in all public cere-
monies and occasions in which the
police department appear as a body.

The Gayety popularity contest. in

The first seventeen officers who are

officers intraining. ambulance units,
and the like, passed the stand. As the
coIors of each regiment passed the
box, he saluted.
And so it went with the review
ing of the rest of the miles of
marchers. For each feature, from
the tiny tots in the playground di-
vision, to the gorgeous float that
ended one of the divisions, the
President evidenced the most in
tense interest. Every few moments,
as some new unit of the big process
sion passed him, he commented on
it to his neighbors in the box.
At 20 minutes past o'clock. aft
er two hours of standing at atten-
tion, the end of the parade came in
sight and the President made ready
to lead the party from the stand.

Probably the latest novelty in
portable grandstands was seen yes
terday afternoon, directly opposite
the Presidents reviewing stand. So
small was it that it could easily and
comfortably be carried in the hand.
What was it? Simply a common
garden variety of cigar box. And
used? Say-if Clark Griffith's s

patronized in proportion to that lit

Keeping right up to modern
styles. the Goddess of Liberty's
skirts were fully as short as the
law of fashion demands. Not many
years ago, the Goddess was dressed
a la Barthold's statue. in long
flowing draperies. But even Liberty
had to be remodeled at times. and
yesterday in the parade she appear
ed in the latest-and they were
fully fourteen inches above the

Smiles as Pages Pass.

To look their best before the big
Boss" President Wilson, it was not
iceable that the Senate and House
pages smoothed their hair after re-
moving their caps. The President not
iced the quick movements of hands
to head also. and smiled to himself.
Big heartedly-vitally interested was
President Wilson in the honor divi-
sion of the parade. the 1900 selective
men of the District, who followed
close after the members of the Sem
ate and House. The Presidents smile,
pleasant before, took on a sadder,
grimmer look as he watched the ranks
of the hundred of prospective MEM
bers of the new national army come
10 attention and execute Eyes Left
in honor to him.
Again the President stood at atten-
ton without paying more than a spec
tators interest in the spectacle that
was unfolding itself before him, until
the active forces Of the army, regu-
lars, marines and militia, marched up
the Avenue. Then his eyes lighted
with patriotic zeal as he reviewed HIS
fighting forces.

Arrives at Reviewing stand.

The line OF parade was stopped
while the President stepped TO the
front of the ranks of his party and
led the way through a lane of secret
service men to the reviewing stand
There. after shaking hands with other
members of the presidential party
who had long before taken their seats
and had waited for the parade to

place to review the procession.

OF SOLUTION THAN AVERAGE
CITIZEN REALIZES

Washington. Nov. 30.-Austria's decis
ion to line up with Germany In open.
ing peace negotiations with the Rus
sian Bolsheviki, may have some effect
on the administrator disincination
toward a declaration of war on the
dual monarchy, but it is thought in of
fetal circles here that it will not bring
about any tangible development for the
present. at least.
Administration senators nave found
on conference with the executive
branch of the government that there
is no disposition to ask congress TO
make another war declaration at this
time. They found the hope of breaking
the central power alliance had not been
entirely abandoned.
President Wilson continued to work
on his address to congress today, and
the fact that he had before him a great
quantity of material bearing on rela-
tions with Austria, caused some spec
ulation as to whether he would touch
on the subject.
One official today said the problem
of whether the government should de-
clare war on Austria was not so easy
of solution as ii looked to the average
citizen.
