TWO MILLION THRONG ROUTE

New York, Sept 1o-The First d.
vision, first in France and first in bait
tie, today was first in the hearts of its
countrymen.
With Pershing at their head and
with the cross Of war twinkling on
their storied banners, the First
marched down Fifth avenue today.
The colors of the three regiments of
infantry were twined with the four
ragere of France, symbol of gallantry
and on the breasts of hundreds of
marchers were the gay ribbons be-
tokening medals bestowed for heroism.
Growing Military Spectacle.
1t was the crowning military specta-
Gle of the world war for New York
and it was unique in American annals.
Behind the stalwart doughboys, their
bayonets cleaning, rumbled field ar
tillery Of every type and back of the
guns came the divisional trains In
the surging, swinging, rythmic stream
which poured down the avenue were
$4,000 men, fun panoplied for battle
the flower of the American army. the
peers of any soldiers in the world
At the head of the five mile line
rode the commander OF all the soldiers
under the Stars and Stripes. Behind
him as a guard of honor swung
| ''Persf1ing's own" the composite reg
iment of six foot infantrymen who had
followed him thru the flower decked
streets of foreign capitals
Never Such a Reception!
Enormous crowds have packed
Fifth avenue in days gone by, for this
was the fourth division New York has
( seen on the march, but never in the
citys history had such a multitude
turned out for any pageant. 1t wa:
a holiday for the metropolis and II
seemed that all New York was there
with half the nation besides.
The broad avenue was banked from
! the far end of Central park to Wash.
ington square with dense masses OF
humanity. Thousands stood where
! there was room only for hundreds

LARGER STANDS
NEEDED TO CARE
FOR FAIR CROWD
This Years Growth Shows Ne
cessity for Accommodations.
Tuesdays Crowd on Grounds
Estimated at $4,000.
EXHIBITS CROWDED TO GATES
Secretary Eastman Says Fair
Is Using All Space.
Kansas Exposition Is Patron
lied by Entire State.

Phil Eastman. secretary. stated to-
day that Tuesdays crowd was the
largest second day crowd on record,
being much larger than the second
day crowd last year. The morning
and early afternoon attendance was
| light, but in the late afternoon the
visitors began to pour in and the total
figures showed the attendance at 37,-
600.
Kansas Free Fair officials admitted
I today that the only concern they now
have is that of taking care of the
crowds and the exhibits the rest of
the week. The 1919 show has already
proved such a success that the Off
cials realize they must have greater
grandstand accommodations next year
IL they are to continue to improve and
make larger their great fall festival.
Never before has there been such a
show in Topeka and never have the
grounds been so crowded. There is
1 hardly an inch of ground that is not
occupied and for the first time the
concession and display tents are
pushed up against the street car gates
at the front of the grounds and back
to the fences in the rear. The farm
machinery field has been extended un-
1 til 1t almost touches the grandstand.
! But it was the Tuesday night show
crowd that convinced the fair officials
they will have to provide more grand
stand room in the future. During

IN SEARCH
Chautauqua Co. Being COmbed
Today for Bank Robbers.
Two Men Looted Chautauuua
State Bank of $1,000.

Wichita, Kan. Sept. 10.-A sheriffs
posse was securing the country in and
around Chautauqua county early to-
day In search of two bandits who late
yesterday robbed the State bank of
Chautauqua. The men escaped in a
roadster with $1,000 in cash and ap-
proximately $4,000 In liberty bonds.
The bandits, unmasked, entered the
bank just after the blinds had been
drawn at the close of business, but
before the door had been locked. They
forced the cashier. H. L. Burns. to de-
liver the currency and bonds to them
then locked him in the vault With
the window shaded the men worked
leisurely and made no effort to conceal
their features, tho neither spoke dur
ing the robbery. Leaving the bank,
they departed in the roadster which
was later reported to have been seen
at Cedarvale. Kan 1t was nearly
thirty minutes after the robbery be-
fore the cashier was able to escape
from the vault, and give the alarm.
A telephone message from the sher-
ifs office at Sedan Tuesday night
stated that Sheriff J. L. Powell and a
posse were securing the country for
the robbers. In the belief that they
were headed toward wichita, local Of
/ ficers are searching for the car.
The same bank was robbed about
four years ago.

SHOE DEALERS VICTIMS
Retailers Tell Governor Wholesale
Prices Are Being Boosted.

Prices Are Being Boosted.
Retail shoe dealers have complained
to Governor Allen because of the
skyrocketing of wholesale prices.
They declare that wholesalers and dis
tributors plan to boost prices 81 to
$3.50 again this fall.
The retailers declared that they
were selling shoes at a blanket profit
of 25 per cent. This percentage of
profits was declared to cover all over
head as well as low margins on shoes
at less than regular retail prices at the
close of the season. Governor Allen
asked the shoe men to submit invoices
and selling costs. He may then ask
congress to look into the matter.
