Is Army Tractors Lost
I'm Wilds of BROOKLYN
They Finally Arrive at Their
Base After Police Alarms
Are Sent Out

Seventy motor tractors drawing the
guns and caissons of the 1st Battalion
of the 5th Field Artillery set out from
Washington Square after the parade
yesterday for the army base at the
foot Of Ffty-e eighth Street, Brooklyn
One got jammed at Ninth Street and
Third Avenue, but sixty-nine tractors
kept on and reached the Manhattan
end of the Williamsburg Bridge.
Civilian traffic on the bridge broke
up the column, and when Captain
NJ. W. Tupper counted his tractors on
the further side there were only forty
four. The forty-four tractors went
their way and arrived at the army base
The wandering twenty-five did not
appear, and as nine of them were to be
shipped to Washington last night Cap-
tain Tuppcr, sleepless since Sunday
instituted a search. He stopped at
every police station along the way TO
send out an alarm for twenty-five army
tractors lost between Manhattan and
Brooklyn" and at intervals to tele-
phone to the army base.
More than two hours after his de-
parture he learned that the missing
twenty-five had appeared, having fallen
IN at the tail end of a horse outfit
bound for the army base. After re-
questing that policeman be stationed
for the night beside the disabled
tractor on Ninth Street, Captain Turner
counted his tractors again and went to
bed.

Heroes of '65 Join
With 'l8 Veterans
I'm Victory Parade
Thinning Ranks of C.. A. r.
Swellcd by Men Who Were
in Cuba and Mexico at
Columbus Encampment

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 1O.-Veter-
ans of four American wars to-day
Joined the Victory parade of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which is
holding its national encampmcnt here.
This is the first time that veterans
of other wars have been invited to par
ticipatc in a G. A. r. parade.
The marching veterans passed before
the reviewing stand in front of the
State House, where they were reviewed
by Clarendon +. Adams, of Omaha,
commander in chief Of the Grand
Army, and by Governor Cox.
George A. Hosley, Of Boston, led the
parade with former Brigader General
John c. Speaks, of Columbus.
First in line were the veterans of
the overseas fighting of the World
War. The Ohio soldiers carried their
battlehass for the last time before
they Will be put away in glass cases
in the state capitol. Next came the
veterans of the Spanish War.
All these units received their share
of applause, but the crowds seemed to
go wild with enthusiasm as the vet
Grams of the Civil War filed past. The
first of the older veterans were cav
alrymcn, who rode erect on horses
Then came line after line Of marchers,
grouped as to states. a few aged vet
Grams of the Mexican War also took
part in the parade riding in automo-
biles
When the parade was about half over
it was interrupted by a rainstorm.
Most of the marchers broke and fed
to cover. After the rain was over most
OF the contingents rcasscmbled but the
G. a. K. veterans alone entirely re-
formed their lines and continued the
parade.

complement as we'll as it's human.
Therefore, it was more to the equip
ment of the fighting unit than
to the men themselves that the city
gave its most enthusiastic welcome. 1t
had seen thousands upon thousands Of
soldiers in olive drab, foot-slogging
through the streets. Yesterday it
thrilled to the sight of three regiments
of artillery--guns, caissons, mounts and
all-canking and rumbling over the
asphalt. Here was something new, and
New York welcomed the gunners with
the frenzy she reserves for new things
AS unit followed unit in the steady
flow of men down the avenue the spec
tators saw how much Of war IS
mechanical, how specialized pro-
!fession fighting is and how nation
wheels and levers and boilers as 1t
does on human bravery.
They saw the snorting tractors which
have replaced the horses that former
ly drew the guns of the 9th Field Ar
tillery. They saw the motorized bat
talon of machine guns, the motor
tanks Of water for men on the fir
ing line, the travelling kitchens that
cooked dinner as they rolled along;
the delousing machines, mobile repair
shops, the laundries, the mobile vcter-
mary unit, the mobile surgical unit
the bakery, the supply trains, the am
munition trucks
Those who pictured war as the lith-
ographs portray it went away from
the parade yesterday with an entirely
altered viewpoint. They saw what a
technical mechanical matter war was.
Some of them even suspected that
General Pershing, after leading his
fighters down the avenue, on that alb
solutely obselet thing, q war horse,
sank with a sigh of relief into the
cushions of his limousine that waited
for him Washington Square.
