Welcome.

BY IL 80 o'clock the crowd. sufficient
in itself to populate a fair sized city,
began to straggle in to the big stadium.
Early Corners got out their thermos bot
ties and baskets Of sandwiches and pre-
pared TO fortify themselves for the COM
ing strenuous hours. The stars OF the
personnel including the Secretaries of
the Navy and of War and Gen. Pershing.
had their luncheons in their respective
hotels, and appeared on the field less
than half an hour before the game was
called.
The demonstration that had been
planned for Josephus Daniels. Secretary
of the Navy, failed to materialize. The
Secretary and his party got lost In the
jam in the space in front OF the field
boxes. The police that accompanied the
Secretary into the arena were so much
like hundred other policemen in sight
that the guard of honor lost its signifi-
canoe. Then, when the Secretary and
iiis party reached the Iield stand in
which he expected to sit he was in
formed by an usher that his tickets were
for box up on the lofty grand stand.
! Mr.. Daniels was accompanied by Mrs
Daniels. former Senator and Mrs. Archi-
bald Mcneil. Jonathan and Frank
Daniels. sons OF Mr.. and Mrs. Daniels
and Commander Percy w. Foote.
BY the time the Secretary of War
and Mrs. Newton d. Baker arrived the
cadets from West Point were in their
section OF the grand stand and they
gave their executive chief a rousing
welcome. They also treated the Secre-
tary to one OF their favorte tricks a.
the expense of freshman OF the mill
tary academy. That freshman was
given the roll from the top of the
grand stand to the bottom over the
heads OF the other cassmen the PROUD
but much mussed freshman went bound
ing from top to bottom. Secretary
Baker and thousands of others laughed
merrily over the diversion. The victim
got back to his seat eventually, minus
his hat and dozen buttons from his
new uniform.
