toric Frederick, "green-walled by the
hills Of Maryland"
The leathernecks at daybreak left
Camp McCawley. one mile south Of
Rockville. and as the forenoon pro-
gressed their hike TOOK on the aspect
of a triumphal procession.
Automobiles full of cheering
Marylanders moved alongside the
tramping ranks in a steady stream,
making ordinary traffic along the
road an impossibility. Farmers and
merchants watched their passage
from doorsteps and fences. Pretty
girls waved and blew kisses.
The hike today will end at Camp
Feland, on the county fair grounds,
and the marines expect to reach 1t
by shutdown.
News of the coming of the trooOs
has aroused warm interest in Fred
erick, and efforts are being made TO
have the marines stay over tomor-
row for review by Governor ,1itchie.
Governor Ritchie, 1t was learned,
has his hands full with a political
squabble and Is seeking to excuse
himself from coming to Frederick
tomorrow. The Frederick folks,
however, won't listen to a refusal,
and II Is probable that moral force
will be used to make him come.

burg to see the boys up there at the

ment in Frederick. "Well, he's a
Maryland governor. and he'd better
pay some attention to Maryland"
According to the itinerary planned
by Brig. Gen. Smedley d. Butler, in
charge of the hike, the marines will
only halt for the night at Frederick.
Whether they will or not depends
upon the strategy Of the Frederick
patriots, who are determined that

things Ward insists he did.
