Another demonstration of youthful pa :
triotism that pleased the President was
serenade by the boys band of 400
Pieces. Returning to his hotel in Man
haitian from the reginental review, he
ordered his car stopped while he spoke
a few words of appreciation to the young
musicians.
At the conclusion of the military re-
view in Brooklyn, the President walked
across the hall to a group of So wounded
soldiers from the Fox Hills hospitals
Staten Island.
How are you boys? I wish I could
shake you all by the hand he said.
Mrs. Harding meantime stopped to
shake the hand of a paralyzed soldier
and her eyes filled with tears as she
took a pink rose from her gown and
pinned it on his blouse.
Speaking extemporaneously at the con-
clusion of his prepared address, the
President said:
Il would like for you captains of in
dustry to know an aspiration of the
present admnistra tion--it is to inaug-
urate an era of understanding. I want
an understanding between the govern
ment and the people, and understanding
between nations.
Il want our America to have nothing
to do with any nation that is not willing
to sit at the table and show it's cards. :"
