SPEED ONLY SALVATION
(By John T. Parkerson.)

Paris. April 3.--Speed is the only
salvation of the peace conference II
it hopes to find any semblance of a
stable German government with
which 1t can deal, according TO views
expressed this afternoon by members
Of the American delegation. The Sc
riousness of the situation was en-
phasized by reports from Germany
that the Spartacans are gaining.
Added to this problem is the con-
fusion of views emanating from the
conference as to what attitude should
he adopted towards the bolsheviki.
II is admitted that the secrecy with
which this matter had been handled
is causing grave concern.
Serious implications have been
made in the British house Of com
mons regarding the Subtle Influence
OF international financiers interested
in German concerns.
In the meanwhile the discussions Of
the big four upon German reparations
remain a profound secret. one guess
on this subject is apparently az good
as another. The "cnliGhtening'
statement was made from source
close to the president and the pre-
mlers that cit was not known whether
any progress had been mace or not"
King Albert of Belgium called upon
Col. E. NJ. House, of the American
delegation. at the Hotel Crillon to-
day. Thus. by calling upon the
American instead OF inviting the
American to call upon him, King Al
bert bert shattered 81 another precedent of
Late today the king and President
Wilson conferred.
It Is understood that the king and
the president discussed Belgiums

many and the question of Belgium's
seat on the league of nations.
The American soldiers and sailors
at the Hotel Crillon gave the king a
noisy ovation

while others had as many as two Oh
three.
A committee of young girls undel
| Mrs. L. w. Llewellyn, of the Red
! Cross, were present during the en-
tire parade and served fruits, soft
drinks and smokes to the wounded
soldiers.
There were something like ten OF
eleven wounded men. members OF the
| Thirtieth division, who were unable
to come in for the parade. However
they were not forgotten by the COM
| mittee in charge. A half bushel bas-
ket chuck full of fruit, candy and
other eats, as well as smokes, was
sent out through the courtesy of
the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs to each
of these men.
After the parade the wounded SOL
| diers were taken to the K. of +. hall
/ on Walnut street, where they were
served a regular feast.
The young girls who were preesnt
in the stand wearing their Red Cross
aprons and colts were Misses Eliza
beth Jones, Margaret Davenport, Dor
ris Carter. Kathleen eager and Mar
garet Hunt.
Having taken advantage of the
holiday declared by Commissioner
Huffaker for the city schools, and
Supt Roberts for the suburban
schools, several thousand school chill
dren had gathered on Market street
by $3.50 o'clock Thursday morning.
From the time they began together
at the end of the parade school
yells and noise of all kinds from
horns. bells and whistles was kept
going. Every automobile that passed
their applause and three cheers.
In addition to the school children,
thousands of people from the nearby
towns, as well as hundreds of Chat
tanoogans, sought out their places
along the line of march early in the
morning. In fact, many persons were
standing on the streets long before
many Chattanooga people were out
of bed. Men selling noise making
novelties were on the streets by 80
O'Clock, and decorated automobiles
passed back and forth on Market
street all during the forenoon up
until the hour OF the parade.
Chattanooga will again have the
opportunity to extend the welcoming
hand to units of the Thirtieth diyi-
sion on next Tuesday. While nothing
definite has been received by Maj.
Whitaker. chairman of the welcon-
ing committee. as to the time the
117th infantry and the 115th field ar
tillery will arrive. there is a possi-
hility of the 117th infantry coming
Friday night or Saturday morning.
The 1l5th field artillery will not be
here until Monday of next week, ac-
cording to the latest reports.
Following the parade Col. Lea and
cff,cers and visitors
were entertained at lunch at the
Hamilton club

marched forth under command of
Maj. E. B. Cantey. Many of these
sturdy looking soldiers were rec
ognized by the immense crowd of
spectators as being from Chattanooga
and there were some few that were
hardly recognizable, owing to the
great change in their physical ap-
pearance since they left their home
town about a year ago; these were
the ones who had gained from If
teen to twenty-five pounds, and IT
was often necessary for friends of
these young men to look at them
twice before they could believe that
they were the same boys that left
here.
Capts. Douglas N. Mcmillan and f.
W. Mcmillan were the two command
ing officers from Chattanooga. These
two young men, who are brothers.
left their home town together and
returned on the same date. They led
their companies down Market street
with great credit to themselves and
made the Chattanoogans very proud
of these two stepsons of w. B. Gar

Every one in the city wanted to see
the parade and entire families were
gathered on Market street and other
streets in the heart of the city to
view il. 1t was a perfect mass or
black and white, intermingled with
rcd, white and blue. Market street
never looked better, as every build
ing displayed the colors OF the
United States OF America. Several
of the buildings had special welcom-
ing signs stretched across the entire
length of the building. The majority
of the flags and other forms OF DEC
orations used was that OF the stars

flags of the allied nations, including
those of France and England. as well
as Belgium.

The event Thursday marked the
official welcome of the Homecoming
of the Tennessee heroes of the Thir-
tieth division. They had marched
through cities in France which the
Germans had ruined and through,
Belgium in the dead of night to the
battle front, with the shells falling
all around them. Across no mans
land among all of the horrors OF
the battlefield, but today they
marched, many of them in their home
towns, others in their native state
at least, and were cheered by the
thousands of their loved ones and
friends.
1t was a different walk than the
one experienced many a time across
the sea. HheS were relieved from
the yoke of the kit bags and accouler-
ments, and their feet were not drag
ging with each step they took. II
vas the time that they had looked
forward to many a day when they
lay on the battlefield in a she'll hole,
or were marching with the heavy
burden that made their square shout
ders round. The only things the SOL
diers carried were their helmets,
first-aid packs, gas masks and can
teens. Each first sergeant carried his
pistol, but they didn't have to be on
the guard every step they took for
fear Of gas attack, nor was it ne
cessary for them to wear their nol-
NETS. .
One couldn't help from wondering
what they were thinking of as they
passed. When the whistles shrilled
forth. no doubt, many of them were
thinking of the time they left, and
the same whistles told the whole city
that they were on their way to save
the world for democracy. Still others
were thinking of scenes many miles
away on the .battlefields. They were
thinking of those who were not there.
but were left on the battlefelds of
France after making the supreme
sacrifice.
The Chattanooga Railway and
Light company was kept busy the
entire morning up to few minutes
before the time for the parade to
form in bringing the hundreds of
soldiers to the city. The formation of
the parade took place on Rossville
avenue and Main street.
Promptly at II O'Clock, Col. Luke
Lea, commanding the units of the
Thirtieth division, and Col. James A.
Gleason gave orders for the troops
TO fall in, and off they went down
Market street.
The procession was led by an escort
of mounted police, with Chief w. H.
Hackett in charge.
Long before the hour for the pa
rade TO pass the people began to
gather on Market street and waited
restlessly for the head of the pro-
'cession to come into view.
When Col. Lea and Col. Gleason
reached the reviewing stand, in which
was seated Gen. Scott, commanding
officer at Oglethorpe, and his staff,
together with ex-Mayor T. C. Thomp-
son and Mai. Phil Whitaker, general
chairman of the welcoming cornriit-
tee, the crowd broke out in s~ud
cheers. When Ch a I ia n o g as
soldiers, in Battery B, first came into
view the cheers grew louder and the
heroes from Flanders were given a
welcome that far surpassed any that
has ever been shown in Chattanooga
Following Col. Lea and Col. Glea-

of Capt. Frank p. Evers, regimental
sdjutant; Maj. Larkin Smith, COM |
