Under the serene sky of most
perfect day, Olympia turned out
yesterday to see it's annual Memorial
parade. One hundred or more
marchers gathered at the Veterans
hall with Captain E. c. Dohm, COM
mander Of the American Legion, as
parade master, and passed in review
along the streets Of the downtown
district. There was enough wind
blowing to keep the hundreds of
flags stirring which gave a beautiful
background for such a day. The
procession eliminated at the new
Fourth street bridge where services
were held for the sailor dead.
The parade was received in a
mood of profound reverence. Those
who lined the streets, bareheaded in
the presence of the American en-
blem Of liberty, watched the ranks,
composed of the "boys in blue" who
remember the battle Of Gettysburg,
the Spanish-American War veterans
many Of whom fought in the battle
of San Juan Hill, and the World War
veterans with the memory Of the
Marne-Aisne and Scissor offensives
still fresh in their minds.
Foreign Veterans Lead Parade.
The parade was led by the Vet
Grams of the Foreign Wars and the
American Legion after which came
the handful of Grand Army men,
bearing years as bravely as they did
their colors. After the G. A. r. came
the w. r. c. with their flags then
the Ladies Of the G. A. r. and
Daughters of Veterans. The Wo-
mems Auxiliary of the Ameican
Legion came next in line carrying a
large silk flag. School children with
flags and flowers and the boy scouts
followed
At the bridge the ritualistic serv-
ices for the sailors were in charge
OF Mrs. Maud Shupp, president Of the
Woman's Relief Corps.
Rev. Charles T. Goodsell led the
singing.
Taps were sounded, then the
American Legion firing squad, I'M
Ger command of w. w. Rogers, fired
the salute. Rev. Goodsell pro-
nounced the benediction after which
the patriotic organizations marched
back to Capital park where P. M.
Troy gave the Memorial address.
