 New York District

New York, October u.-President Will son came to New York today to join with New Workers tomorrow in paying tribute to the discoverer of America with a spectacular military pageant which will establish high water mark for the Liberty Loan campaign in the New York district.
 The President was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Miss Margaret Wilson, Rear Ad- miral Cary T. Grayson and Secretary Tumulty. No notice had been given in advance of his coming, but the news that he had arrived spread quickly and he was greeted with tumultuous cheers by crowds at the railroad station. The who entertained the President and Mrs. Wilson at dinner tonight.
 From the station the President motored with his wife and daughter to the quar- ters of the American Geographic society From there they went to the home of Colonel House and this evening attended a musical comedy.
 No announcement had been made to- night of the Presidents programme for tomorrow, but it is expected he will re- view the great parade in which will march soldiers of 22 nations, veterans of all the fronts on which the armies of freedom have fought the forces of the central powers. In the evening he will attend a benefit at the Metropolitan opera house for Italian soldiers blinded in the war.
 25,000 TROOPS IN LINE
 Approximately 25,000 troops will be in line in the parade which will traverse the Avenue of the Allies" The first division of the allies will be composed of troops representing Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain, China, Cuba and the Czecho- Slovaks. The second division will be led by a detachment from the French foreign legion, followed by sol- diers of Greece, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras. In the third division, Italian Alrini and Bersaglieri will have the place of honor. They will be followed by sol- d.ers of Japan, Liberia, Montenegro, Nicaragua, Panama Poland, Porto Rico, Portugal, Russia, Serbia and Siam.
 The United States army division will be composed of approximately 70O0 troops sent overseas. The navy department. commanded by Rear Admirals Nathaniel R. Usher, Albert Gleaves and John Me- Donald, will number $500. It will be the most impressive exhibition of the strength of the navy ever given in New York.
 The tragic side of the war will be brought home to the spectators by mud spattered, camouflaged engines of de- struction captured from the Germans by American troops in their advance through France.
