HOPES TO WELCOME
D. c. SOLDIER UNITS
Washington Wants Chance
to Greet Her Own Heroes
From cover There"
PROGRAM IS SUGGESTED

Every one has heard rumbling of
the "grand review recommended for
the principal thoroughfares of the
National Capital when the bulk of the
American troops are home.
But how about some preliminary
parades Of District heroes from time
to time and beginning pretty soon
The suggestion has been heard from
several quarters, and in hopeful
language, that as the various units
representative of the District Of Co
lumbia now overseas are returned to
Camp Meade, nearby in Maryland,
their journey include a few hours
stay in Washington before they go
to camp.
Plan of Welcome Suggested.
If the War Department authorities
are willing, it is pointed out from
numerous sources, each of these units
could stay here long enough 20
march up the Avenue and be seen by
eu~hly and appropriately welcomed.
1t is probable that the bulk of the
District boys will come back as units.
For instance, one battalion of the
10th Field Artillery is composed OF
former guardsmen. The 312th Ma
chine Gun Battalion, the 104th Field
Signal Battalion and one of the Kos
pital Corps units in the Army are
made up of District of Columbia Sc
lectives or volunteers. Then there
is the former 1st Separate Battalion,
three companies of which are in one
colored infantry regiment and three
in another.
Coming in Company Lots.
The troops are being sent home ap-
parently in company lots. Why not
let a company, or several of them,
when they reach this their home
town. hold a small parade? is the
question being asked. If this is not
done the men will go at once straight
to Meade Then in all probability
they will be granted furloughs of a
few days and will head for home by
twos and threes and in other small
groups and on different days. There
will be no chance to get enough of
them together to do them honor in
any way.
The District of Columbia boys who
are already home or en- route are
mostly members of casual companies
ever, citizens will begin to read items
that such and such a company or bat
TALON has reached New York or Nor
folk, as the case may be, and will al
once be sent to the Maryland demob-
i1iZafjOn camp.

Wounded Yankees Call Out.

AS soon as President Wilson and his
party entered Buckingham Palace the
crowds o<ltside, including several hum
dred wounded soldiers in the palace
ward, began cheering. Then came
shouts of 1--WE want Wilson! We
want wilson,"
In response the President and Mrs.
Wilson, together with King George
and Queen Mary. soon appeared on
the second-f1oor balcony. Their ap-
pearance was the signal for renewed
cheering and the crowd. especially the
wounded men, began calling for a
speech.
President Wilson laughed and
waved his hand, indicating that he
would rather not Speak. Mrs. Will
SON waved a small Union Jack. The
crowd, however, insisted on a speech.
so the President waved the chorus
of voices to silence and then ad-

Efforts to Obtain Release.

Efforts to Obtain Release.
Urgent messages sent through many
channels, when the report reached
Washington that Roger C. Tredwell,
American consul. had been arrested by
the Bolsheviki at Tashkent, in Rus
sian Turkestan, brought word today
that the consul. while in custody, was
well treated, being confined to his
room instead of a prison. Efforts to
obtain his release are going forward.
Just what caused the consuPS arrest is
not known, but it may be that the hos
tile bolshevik authorities took him in
charge for no other reason than the
fast that he was an American consul
lar officer.
Learning of the arrest the State De-
partment got into touch with 1rkutsk.
Teheran. Peking, Calcutta and other
points in an attempt to procure the
release of the consul.
Indian Government Helpful.
Assistant Secretary of State Phil
lips said today that the Indian gov
ernment had been very helpful.
The last regular post held by Mr.
Tredwell was consul at Petrograd.
Since his withdrawal from Petrograd
he has been assigned with rowing
commission to various points in and
near Russia and has made exhaustive
reports to this government of condi-
tions as he found them.

patch today from Paris. The sit

German counter attacks against

been unsuccessful. Fourteen
hundred prisoners from four div
sons, several cannon and numer-
Gus machine guns were taken.
"The battle which has been CO.
ing on for four days" says tho
dispatch, "is continuing with the
same intensity without bringing
any notable change in the situa-
tion."
Realisnment Of the French
