We have no respect for the profess
sional man who, under pretense Of
"ethics," withholds his card from the
newspaper, yet is always looking for
notoriety and 'boosts" through the
reading columns of the paper. We
always question the sincerity of such
professional men, and look rather to
the condition Of their purse-strings
than to high regard for professional
ethics for an explanation of their mo-
tives. We are glad that we have none
such here.

One of the objects of this new de-
partment of The Record is to stimulate
interest in advertising on the part of
merchants and other business con-
Germs and the public. We just thought
we would forestall the "wiseacres" by
making this statement and saving
them the trouble.

 Potentate Frank c. Shepard wishe; it to be distinctly understood, however, that the ceremonies of laying the corner stone are the big event and that not until they have been concluded will the Shrine be in evidence. All Shriners have been requested to j,in in the parade as Blue Lodge Masons and no 'fez" or other Shrine regalia will be allowed to be displayed or worn ui..il the corner stone ceremonies have been eng-ety con- cluded. Potentate Shepard stated that lie has appointed provost guard to patrol the city and see that the above rules are strictly obeyed.
 But-as soon as the big event is over, then the Shrine will come into it's own and in all it's resplendent glory. Start ing with a banquet at the Tutwier hotel, followed by q short business ses- sion, the decks will be "cleared for &C., tion" at the Jefferson theatre, and a class of some 250 candidates gathered from the northern section of the state will start on the perilous pilgrimage to Mecca, across the blistering, burning sands of the desert. Included in the class will be a number of soldiers from Camp Mcclellan. It is stated that the directors of work have everything Tn readiness for the entertainment of the candidates.
 The following proclamation has been issued by the "pote:"
 To the Faithful Nobles: It has come to the ears of your potentate that thou sands Of unregenerate sons of the Desert" will invade our fair oasis and with deep and painful pleas they will clamor at our gates for shelter under the protecting dome of our temple that they may rest and refresh themselves before taking the journey across the hot sands of the desert to Mecca. ], therefore, have set aside Wednesday, May b, as day of rejoicing, and as the shadows of evening fall we will enter into the banquet halls and refresh our selves for the journey We will be as one big family during the ceremonies of the day and your potentate asks that no fezzes be worn until after the busi- ness with reference to the laying of the corner stone is over, then the evening becomes Shrine night, and the floor is yours. Let's make this gala day ana genuine Shriners night. So I cal | upon you one and all. to assist in every way to make this our greatest night in the history of Zamora temple.

 Hesday on a practice hike of 80 miles to
 return to camp without delay and to be-
 gin a period of intensive training. The

Simultaneously with the issuance of the order Major General Farnsworth stated that all organizations will be put through gruelng period and that their training will touch the highest point. Heretofore. the infantry organizations have gone to the rifle range by bat talions In the future, entire regiments will go and will remain on the range six days.
 eve have heard nothing to indicate a move from Camp Sheridan" said Gen eraI Farnsworth, but when the call comes the division must be ready and only by hard work can we reach the necessary point of efficiency. The men are in excellent physical condition and
 will not find the increased training worN l too hard. It will just mean the tylns up of all loose ends and the utilization | of every hour.
 l A wild rumor spread through camp and Montgomery that the division would | be placed in quarantine early Tn the week. which would indicate move, as the soldiers are kept in quarantine ten
 days before departing from any camp , in order that camp diseases may not be taken with them to another camp. Great improvement in health condi. tions has been made during the past 1 few days, but division headquarters Sat urday announced that social diseases were greater and that the division or ficers would insist that campalsl pe wa red sin Montgomery proper against social vices in order that the soldier: may be protected Several women are now confined in the Montgomery county iail on a charge of vagrancy as resul of the campaign of the military ponce and city nnlice of Montgomery.

The weather was perfect and London turned out en masse and lined up along he broad avenues of "The Royal Borougn of Westminster"
 The crowds were even greater than on the occasion when the American en- gineers mached over the same route several months ago.
 There was difference in the welcome which London gave today's marchers. When the engineers marched American troops were curiosities and were cheered as something novel and new. Today London has become accustomed % American khaki and today's marcne-s were greeted as friends and brothers
 ALL NEW WORKERS
 The Americans, who were virtually all from New York city, marched III columns of four from Wellington bar racks over a three-mile route, cireling that part of London in which are To- cated the government offices, the em- basses and the principal public build ings.
 With American preciseness the parade kept exactly to the time table which was laid out for it by the British and American military authorities. The first men filed out of the parade grolnd at Wellington barracks into the famous bird-cage walk at exactly HAS, passed the war office at 12:15. the United States embassy at 12;i5 and reached Bucking ham palace at 1:05.

 PRESS COMMENT
 The Star says of today's ceremonies:
 London is giving the Americans a right real London welcome; she is cheer ing the tall lads who have come three, or four, or five thousand miles to help our brave lads in this struggle.
 London is a shy old lady, but today she is throwing her bonnet in the air She is not staring at the American boys like stepmother; she is taking them into her arms like a mother. Their own mothers will be comforted when they hear how London has hugged these gall lant American boys
 Nothing is too good for them. We must all get busy so that every Ameri- can boy in every camp will feel that this is his second home; every British mother his mother; every British girl his sister,"

Immediately after Secretary Daniels finished speaking, the conference adopted resolutions 'pledging both to to our watchers at home our prayers that their faith fail not.'
 We greatly deplore the necessity of war, but since through the vicious ambitions of German leaders, it has become necessary for us to fight if righteousness and honor are to be de- manded among nations, we declare it to be the purpose of the poole we repre- sent that nothing shall be left undone that will assist in bringing victory to us and our allies as representatives of the idea that the purpose of the gov ernment is to secure for the people the opportunity to pursue the will of God and security"
