President hfoOt
 in Victory Parade
Function Was the First Org anized Tribute to Service Men From District of Co., Iunbia,

Washington, Feb. 7-Pennsylvania avenue, re-echoed today, for the frs time in many years, to the tread of victorious American soldiers-men who fought in Europe under the Stars and Stripes to help clear the way for the spread of democratic ideals.
 President Wilson, back only a few days from the peace conference ir Paris, led the parade on feet and af- ter marching through cheering thous- ands from the capitol to the White House, took his place in the reviewing stand.
 The parade was organized as a trib- Ute to soldiers, sailors ana marines from the District or Columbia, but it soon became apparent that this first review in Washington since victory was won, had more than local signifi- canoe. Men from every state and ev- cry service took part, but especially the presence of hundreds of wounded. who Ut Cht9au Thierry, St. Mihiel and the ArGonne, helped write the stirring chapters of American participation in the war. made the parade a testimon- i2l of the nations pride in all its fighters, regardless of Ioeality.
 Three genaFatiOns were represented in the pageant the fighters Of todaS the veterans Of yesterday and the high school and college cadets in
 training to take their places under the
 flag if need be. Blue and gray walk ed together in the section of veterans followed by younger men in the uni
 forms of Spanish war days Resplen- dent in their tribal war garb, Indians
 joined with their white brothers in the parade, as they joined them in fight
 ing on foreign fields 10 crush autoc- raCy.
 Enthusiasm of the spectators was unrestrained, but many t,me touch. eG a note too deep for mere cheering In memory of "the boys we left be Hind us the returned victors carried a great white silk flag with a single gold star b.,hind which ca me blacI draped and flower -gada9 eaisson. tht traditional bier of a soldier Silence misty eyes and barred heads greeted the flag.
