the Pennsylvania Railroad police In
blue, and the company police from
Central Iron and Steel, in blue, were
remarked for their appearance.
The Y. NJ. c. A. war secretaries
in olive drab, attracted favorable at
tention, as did several contingents
Of Boy Scouts. The Selective Serv-
ice headquarters was also repre-
sented, Major Murdock leading the
office force. The Western Union
messenger boys in olive. drab were
in two platoons. The firemen in
their blue trousers, scarlet shirts and
bleaming helmets were one of the
brightest units in the formation.
The girls from Kaufman's store,
with red, white and blue parasols,
and the men with the colors OF the
allies, showed up well. The Globe
lineup, with each girl carrying a
shield bearing one letter, to make
up the names of the store, and white
swords, was admired.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce open division, led by Warren
r. Jackson secretary and Andrew s.
! Patterson president was well filled.
| Mothers and Wives
The wives, mothers, sisters and
relatives of the soldiers at the front,
bearing their service stars on white
caps, was as usual received as the
most impressive contingent in the
| parade.
The Pennsylvania Railroad wom-
ems War Relief organization had q
large turnout. The colored Red Cross
chapters of the city and Enola were
represented. The Y. w. c. A. and
Navy League, and domestic science
turnouts. added to the femininity OF
Hrs. Reilly's fine divisions. Women's
Suffrage was not forgotten, either,
and an attractive float made its
silent appeal for votes.
The fraternal division was a
bright spot in the lineup. The In

uniform, and odd Fellows in full
dress. gave the pleasing appearance
of fancy dress costuming.

The Carpenters and Bricklayers'
Unions, in white overalls and blue
and red shirts. made up a pleasing
division. They represented organ
lied labor, and as such expressed
their thorough Americanism.
The Military End
The second division, the military
division, was unusual in that it con-
tanned the three branches of the
armed service of the country and the
veterans of the wars. 1t was the
smallest but the most varied and
business-like of the whole parade,
attracting much attention all along
the line. 1t was marshaled by Cap
tain ]. j. Hartman. assisted by Cap
tain r. Laubenstein and Lieutenants
John Good and G. I. Trullinger.

country and evoked much applause.
Immediately after them came Cap
tain Paul H. w. Harm with his COM
pany of the Pennsylvania Reserve
| Militia, Company I of the Second
Regiment, the city's representatives
in the new National Guard, men who
showed the result of careful instruc-
tion and hard work. Next came two
companies of the Harrisburg Re-
serves commanded by Captain L. v.
Harvey, the units being commanded
by Captain w. A. Moore and Lieu
tenant w. L. Keller. The Reserves
were represented in many parts of
the parade, their membership being
in business and industrial sections,
while in the administrative end they
were represented by Captain +. H.
Hoy Jr., and numerous aids. In
spite of these heavy drafts, the Re-
serves turned out nearly 100 in their
gray shirts.

been told. But the fact was i'm
pressed upon each and every one of
us with slightly greater emphasis
yesterday when almost in the very
front of the first division, on the
shoulders of two husky sons of
sunny Italy, a replica of that great
bell that 142 years ago yesterday
peaied out the glad news that a new
tangled state, a democracy had been
created on this earth.
Just as in Italy their fathers and
grandfathers fought ferociously to
achieve the aims of the statesman
Cayour and the King of Piedmont
whom he served, that a unified Italy
might be served, so these sons of
the southern suns yesterday showed
that they are now lending their ef-
forts, financial and physical. to help
the United States and incidentally
their lative land and other lands OF
democracy. to maintain lands free
from cruel oppression.
Seven hundred of these Italians,
men and women, old and young,
were in line to lend force to the big
AmericaniZation scheme and the de-
ffal of Hohenzollern autocrocy. Three
Sons of Italy lodges, led by the Sons
of Italy Band, other Italian organiza-
tions and several hundred unattach-
ed individuals. made up the southern
Kingdoms representation of Amer
icaniZation subjects.
Jewish Race Loyal
With its rabbis and hundreds of
Harrisburg members of the race in
line, the Jewish nation was well rep
resented. That this nation with
out land" is serving and will con-
tinue to serve the country that has
given to them a haven of safety, was
well evidenced by the wording OF
the few banners that they carried,
The Jewish organizations of Harris
burg but await the orders of Presi-
dent Wilson was the substance OF
one of them. The Jews of Har-
risburg are ready to lay down their
lives for democracy" was the cpl
tome of the statement on another.
Seventy-five Greeks are in Har-
risburg and practically every one oi
them was in line yesterday. Their
small delegation did not nearly
match the American spirit which
they showed and the wholesome re-
spect that went out of them as re-
suit of their show o yesterday

of their banners told. That their
nation IS doing it's part to help pre-
serve the nation which has brought
, about the preservation of their free
dom was shown by another of their
banners which told of $4,000 Gre
clans already in the United States
Army with $4,000 soon to be under
the colors and another which told
of 100000 in the service of the AL
lies with 100000 expected soon to
be battling along the Macedonian
front for the preservation of demo-
cracy.
Sons OF Every Nation
While the vast majority of those
in line in the foreign-born division
were sons of one of the Allied coun-
/ tries, there was a place too for those
| born in the lands with which the
Allies are at war. Germans and Aus
| trians, of course, made up the great
! er part of these representatives. but
other enemy countries had repre-
sentatives. None showed yesterday
that they desired more earnestly the
downfall of the Hun and his cohorts

nationalties anu activities which
marched in Harrisburg's epoch-mak-
ing pageant, there were a number of
things which instantly attracted uni
versal attention by their novelty and
originality. When the thousnds of
spectators turned regretfully away
from the street curbs as the last unit
in the great spectacle swept proudly
into history, they carried home with
them the memories of individual ef-
forts which created special attrac-
tons long to be remembered.
The floats particularly attracted
attention. There were battleships,
tanks, cannon and small munitions
factories on wheels. In its presenta-
ton of clever replicas of huge war
machinery, the parade was interest
ing to a degree.
The Harrisburg Welding and
Brazing Company had a huge white
/ battleship in line. In the same di-
vision was a large dial phone, with
the bell ringing all along the route.
Blue Devil Marches
The Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe
Bending Company had a number OF
floats that illustrated vividly the
work they are doing to supply the
sinews of war to the American
armies. The floats were a reminder
of what the 1900 men who marched
are doing at the great munitions
works every day. The open hearth,

jectile finishing and other floats

marched next with their bugle corps,
the men wearing the uniforms which
were so much seen twenty years ago.
In their ranks were men who had
fought in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines with veterans OF Chinese
and other wars. It was an interest
ing body. Nicholas Tack marshaled
the veterans of the old City Grays,
the men who had marched with
General Hutchison and Captain Ma
loney, and the veterans OF the Civil
War, the Grand Army of the Re-
public, then came in automobiles, the
only paraders to be so honored. The
veterans were cheered all along the
line. There were ten automobiles
and the men of the sixties made an
interesting link with the great war
for the Union.
The United States Government
was next represented, there being
the post office force, carriers and
clerks, marshaled by Postmaster
Frank c. Sites, a gingery bunch who

crowds.
Railroaders in Line
The Berryhill Nursery Company
had an attractive float in line. 1t was
an automobile decorated with green,
and carrying Columbia, Uncle Sam
and other historical characters.
The Pennsylvania Railroad had
one of the largest contingents in the
parade. Every branch of railroad ac-
tlvity was represented. Banners,
Uncle Sam. soldiers, sailors and Red
Cross nurses, figured largely in the
costuming of the marchers in this di-
vision.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Luck

of the parade. They were led by an

forty-eight gorls, representing forty
eight states of the union. ]. d. Rees,

crowd, his resem olance to the ma
tons President was so complete. E.

Following the Lucknow employees,
the always faithful Spirit of '76''
marched with flies and drum, MAX
ing merry along the line of march.
A company OF minute men and
colonial soldiers added to the his
toric appearance of the Lucknow
division.

The Reading Railway was repre-
sented by its force of clerks and
closed with a banner which said:

tractive young women clerks. These
