The WELCOME
HOME PARADE

Contributed by K. C. Hoeneveld
Thursday, Feb. 27, dawned
bright and beautiful and early
this morning everybody was a.
stir betimes making ready for
that long looked forward to We'll
come Home to the D. c. boys and
incidentally to the President of
the United States and Washing
ton surely was a fit place to well
come them in. Flag and bunting
everywhere, not only our own
Stars and Stripes but also the
flags of the Allied Nations were
seen everywhere. Bright new
flags floated in the breeze from
every public building and every
building along the line of march
was decorated as a fitting tribute
to the boys who had fought a
brave fight and returned home
to again take up their duties as
civilians.
Early in the morning throngs
lined up against the ropes and
when Government employees
were let out at II, Pennsylvania
Avenue was packed and standing
room was at a premium. AS you

Presidents stand and in a very
favorable position to see every
thing that was going on.
At one o'clock sharp the pro-
cession started from the Peace
Monument led by Police Force
on horseback, then the famous
Z. S. Marine Band, then Presi-

two members of the arrange

when they came from Aberdeen
Proving Grounds here. The
dynamos and electric light plants
on trucks, the Engineering Di-
vision with their bodybuilding
material their So inch search
light, sound detectors, etc. A.
bove lowered aeroplanes and
they circled over the crowd all
afternoon, also a great dirigible.
There was some excitement
when one aeroplane fell down,
but as no one was injured this
soon passed off. The big mach
inc guns all camoufaged came
in for their share of admiration
and comment. A number of In
dian Chiefs who are here repre-
senting their tribes for affairs
in congress were there in full
war paint and feather, beads and
blankets and received no little
admiration.
Across from the Presidents
stand were 500 wounded boys
from Walter Reed Hospital and
they sure enjoyed the day. They
stood at attention and then gave
a most hearty cheer for the few
members Of the G. A. r. who pa
raded, and also for the Spanish
War Veterans, but l think the
heartiest cheer Of all was given
the Salvation Army lassies who
lhad been over there and that
they had done their share was
very plainly shown by the well
come they received from the
boys. The Walter Reed Band
which has but lately been start
ed among patients there came in
for a good share of applause and
made a very brave showing.
Then came Red Cross, War
Community Service, Y. NJ. c.. A.
K. c., Jewish Welfare, etc., then
different labor organizations
and last Of all one of the life
boats of the Gunston Hall, the
first ship to be launched from

while there have been more elab-

the stand where already were
cOngregated members of the
Diplomatic Circle and officers
and representatives of every ma
ton. Flowers were strewn a.
cross the path in front of the
stand, and promptly as the Pres
ident stepped out the chorus
started the Star Spangled Ban
ner, led by Percy Foster who has
led six inauguration choruses,
also the chorus that welcomed
the men back from the Spanish
American War and is perhaps as
we'll known as the Marine Band
with which he works in unison.
The chorus was led by four cor
nets, one from the Army, one
from the Navy. one the Marines
and one the Aviators.
Then came the boys who had
come back, wearing their he'll
NETS, ETC., and carrying German
helmets, and some even wore
them. And cheering, the boys
surely could hear the welcome
and JOY in every voice. All the
ID. c. Regiments which had re-
turned were in this parade, col
ored as we'll as white and the
black also got their share and no
distinction was made in this
case. Every voice was hushed
and sobs could be heard, howev-

Of those who had come back, and
carried by soldiers, a banner of
white silk with a large gold star

behind. Following this was the

there was a dry eye in the crowd
for moment, and the realization
OF the war was felt very keenly
by every one.

Liberty and Victory. On this
float were dogs that had taken
an active part in No Mans Land

welcome was genuine and a very
