Taft Passes Reviewing Point.

While the President was watching-,he
parade former President Taft walked
through the space roped off for the pres
dental party, on his way to his new
office at the Department of Labor.
During gaps In the parade line the
President watched the aerial svolutions
Of Rutt Law and the big Caproni air
plane. Both swooped low over the
White House grounds. and Miss Law
flew so low at: one time that she could
be seen waving, apparently at the
presidential party.
Bands seemed scarce in the early part
Of the parade, so Maj. Pullman at the
suggestion of Secretary Tumulty, start
ed forth to hunt up the Marine Band,
which was the first band in the line. He
could not find it, but got another, the
band of the 304th Engineers. and it
took it's stand in front of the White
House. A little later another section
of the Marine Band came along at the
head of the marines, and that was
pulled out Of the line, and the two
bands alternated in playing when there
was no music from the line of march.
Among the selections of the Marine
Eand was Somewhere in France Is the
Lily" the patriotic song written by
Philander Johnson and Joseph r..
Howard.

to buy more bonds.
Although the parade was arranged
as an event Of gayety over the prog
unexpected number of soldiers, sailors
and marines seemed to keep before the
minds of the thousands Of spectators
the thought that miles away in France
other boys in khaki were graphing
in a death struggle with the Huns.
And. while they did not applaud, 1t
was evident every time a division in
uniform went by that the thousands
on the side lines were thinking Of their
loved ones in the service and how
much a liberty bond might do to hclp
them hold the enemy.
Realize Grim Business Of War.
When the 4s2 Washington boys who
have just been drafted marched by,
without uniforms or discipline. there
were spasmodic outbursts Of applause,
but no loud "hoorays." The majority
seemed to realize that the grim busi-
ness OF war calls for a feeling deeper
in the heart than vociferous applause.
The drafted boys were led by District
Commissioners Brownlow and Gardi-
ned. and came Immediately after a
delegation of members of the Senate,
House of Representatives and District
Supreme Court. The Senate had ad-
journed at 1880 o'clock, and was well
represented, but only few members
OF the House were in line, as the lower
body remained in session.
The parade was led by Grand Marshal
Melvin C. Hazen, a section Of the Ma
rine Band and the members of the
District liberty loan committee. con-
sisting of John Poole, chairman, and
Eugene E. Allies. B. F. Saul, Corcoran

things to tell their war lord about him.
self the next time they write home for
money. for although the parade was
arranged primarily to boost the sale of
liberty bonds it developed into a
kaiser-knocking contest.
From beginning to end the serious
impression left by men in uniform was
Offset by scores of humorous banners
telling how the people OF Washington
feel toward Kaiser Bill.
"He1mit Kaiser" was the banner
which man carried at the head OF
the government printing Office con-
tingent, and under the banner was an
old German helmet carried on a stick.
Five thousand Indians are hunting
the Huns was the banner which hung
from the side of a float representing
the Redmen's part in the war. Beneath
this banner was another which read
Twelve million Indian dollars are

One womau from one of the govern

a banner, THE kaiser shall not take

around for him to read and he nodded
