Composed OF Men from Tennessee,

Commanded by Colorcd

Baltimore, Md, April 11.-All
Baltimore Is still talking about the
great impression that tho 36Sth
Infantry mado last Saturday, when
twelve thousand soldiers from Camp
Meade marched in the big military
parade. Tho day was memorable
one in that 1t not only marked the
first anniversary of the entrance Of
the United States into the world war
and the launching OF tho Third Ii
berry Loan, but for the fact that
President Wilson was here to review
the marching troopers and at night
delivered an address that clearly set
forth the aims OF the country in its
efforts to crush the Germans.
There were four divis ,ons in the
parade, the thirty-siX hundred men
Of the 36Sth Infantry being the only
cOlorcd one. These men included
draftces from Tennessee, Southern
Maryland, the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Pennsylvania.
From tho time the parade started
at Central avenue anu Jefferson
street until 1t passed the reviewing
stand at Mt. Royal avenue and ST.
Paul, where President Wilson and
Mrs. Wilson and n party of distin-
guished white citizens sat, the col
ored troopers were given an ovation
that far exceeded that givon the three
divisions of white troopers.
Tho spectacular feature Of the day
was the bearing Of Sergeant Lander,
drum major eof the infantry band.
Tho band played airs that caught the
fancy Of tho 100000 persons who
watched the boys who will soon DO
Over There to got tho Kaiser and
showed we'll the fine training that
Bandmaster A. ]. Thomas had given
them.
Drum Major Lander was the hcro
Of tho day all along tho line, showing
rare Skill In handling his staff. He
is Philadelphian and fine cake
walker and as tho band jaZzed he
swung his staff in majestic style.
Then the mon in the regiment showed
that they were the equals OF any. If
not superiors of all, in marching
ability, so erect was their carriage
and even their steps.

CITY OFFICIALS CHEER.

AS the twelve thousand troopers
passed in review before Democratic
city officials, the 36Sth came in for
tho lions share Of cheers. Up Bal
timore street to Howard, where they
turned northward, was one contin-
nous ovation. At Howard and LeX-
ington streets, the regimental band
struck up Over There The popu-
lace, white and colored, simply went
wild. At Howard street and Druid
Hill avenue, where the spectators
were backed all the way back to
wild.
AS tho marchers swung into staid
and fashionable Mt. Vernon Place,
George Washington, into Charles
Volleys OF cheers greeted them as
they passed the Baltimore University
Commonwealth and Maryland Clubs
and the Bclviderc Hotels, the win
dows Of each place being lined with
spectators. On out Charles street
to Mt. Royal avenue, where the pa
rade turned East, the plaudits came
in storm, and when the 36Sth
reached the stand where President
Wilson was, Drum Major Lander put
on his SWEETEST didoes. The band
tarried awhile, playing patriotic airs,
while the presidential party reviewed
with bcaming faces the soldiers of
African descent, showed that they
were tho equal Of any in military
bearing.
COMMENDED BY PRESIDENT.
President Wilson paid a high com
pliment to the men and no one
looked happier than Colonel w. p
Jackson, the commander of the regi-
ment. The bearing of the men
showed the splendid results obtained
by the company officers who had been
trained at Fort DesMoines. Captains
Peeks, Seward, Sanders and others
along with Lieutenants Bernard
Webb, Curtis Carpenter, James B..
Williams and Edgar a. Love, the
four last named being Baltimorcans
Lieutenant Williams, who is con-
nectcd with the headquarters COM
pany, was mounted, as was also
Lieutenant Love, who is the rcgi-
mental chaplain.
1t was a tired but happy lot of
soldiers that returned to their camp
at Druid Hill Park, but all were
proud of the fact that they had one
continuous ovation from white and
colored Baltimoreans.

Americans Yield Nothing.
With the American Army in
France, May 31.-Four German coun-
ter attacks yesterday against the
American troops at Cantil. ~, west of
Montdiddier, were repulsed after
sharp fighting. Machine guns were
especially active during the day. A
wounded German captain was cap
tured.
German artillery in the course OF
the night severely bombarded the
new positions of the Americans. They
fired as many as 1000 high explo-
sive shells in brief space Of time.
Several attempts made. by the Ger
mans to come over were repulsed
with heavy losses by the Americans.
Enemy airmen were active last
night and this morning bombing vii
lagos behind our lines without regard
to military detectives.
The SD German reserve division
from which the Americans took pris-
oners in the fighting at Cantigny Is
commanded by Gen. von Lorne, under
Stauge. This officer served on both
the Russian and western fronts and
came to Cantigny between May 18th
and 18th. His division participated
In the German offensive on the San
river in May, 1915, which pierced the
Russian front In Galicia. ;s =
In one Of the counter attacks
launched against the Americans in
Cantigny the Germans tried to use
tanks. American artillery opened a
heavy fire, driving both the foot SOL
diers and the tanks back In disorder.
The new American positions in
Cantigny are being improved con-
stantly. The Americans have not
budged an inch since they gained the
town. Every time the enemy artillery
starts a bombardment the American
gunners smother the opposition fire.
German airmen, flying at a~great
height, penetrated many miles to the
rear Of the American lines. They
were driven off by anti-aircraft guns
and were unable to drop any bombs.

Twelve Fishing Boats Sunk.

London, June 3.-TWelve Of the
fleet Of 80 or 40 fishing vessels which
left Irish ports on the night of. May
80 were sunk by German subma-
rine, says a Belfast dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph. The submarine
suddenly appeared in the midst Of
the feet and ordered the fishermen
to take to the boats and row ashore.
1t then sank the vessels by shelling
them.
The fishermen say that the sub
marine was interrupted in its work
and submerged, which probably pre-
vented destruction of the entire fleet.
The fishermen lost all their gear, but
there were no casualties.
