Veterans of 81 Turn Out in
Large Numbers for Memo
rial Exercises.

Undaunted by the long years that
have passed since the dark DAYS
when they fought on bloody fields
for their country, the aged veterans
of the Grand Army Of the Republic
today turned out the largest single
unit in the veterans parade which,
left G.. A. r. Hall for Arlington al
$50 o'clock.
Buoyed up by the enthusiasm OF
once again marching together. the
white-haired men stepped out firmly
behind the Marine Band and not
one Of them faltered for a moment
during the long march around the
White House and back through
downtown Washington to Twelfth
and d streets northwest, where they
boarded cars for Arlington.
The parade was delayed in form
ing by the ceremonies conducted by
Vincent B. Costello Post, American
Legion. In front OF the District
building and moved away in sec
tons.
The first was led by the Marine
Band and the civil war veterans
The Boy Scout band and a detach'
ment of the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars followed. The second largest
unit, the United Spanish War Vet
Grams, many wearing the distinctive
campaign hat OF that conflict, was
next in line, closing the first
section.
The second section was composed
OF American Legion posts, led by
the Boys independent Band.
Following the conclusion OF the
ceremonies at the District building
the last section began moving. II
was headed by an army band from
Fort Hunt and by the band OF the
Vincent II. Costello Post. The
massed flags and colors of the va
rious Legion posts were the most
colorful portion OF the procession
One of the most heartily cheered
sections was that of the women,
including army nurses, members OF
the women's naval reserve, marin
cites and Yeomen CD.
A long column OF District officers

life. and he scarcely expected to
lose that. People who are not
afraid OF their own fate are
anathema to those who value pub
lie respect, self-respect and peace
Of mind. In a quarrel, such a man
can go to any lengths, for he has
known and does not fear mis-
fortune.
Did Ward suddenly wake up to
the danger of his association with
Peters and kill before his supposed
nemesis could spread the story he
threatened to reveal?
Money sometimes proves cumber-
some. When poor man breaks
with an associate, they may call
names and indulge in fisticuffs
without fear of prosecution or long
drawn out legal troubles. But let
q rich man even as much as hint
that his poor enemy is not all he
should be and there follows a libel
suit, demands for hush money and
endless trouble. The unscrupulous
always are alert to see how they
can separate the well-to-do from
their surplus securities.
But why did Ward confess TO a
struggle in a secluded spot7
why not u btIuBBlo dt MS own
door II II took place there? Ward
must have been desperate indeed If
he thought his disconnected story of
the shooting would be believed and
that investigation would not bring
to light its flaws.
Did Ward kill Peters at his own
door?
Or did he kill him on the road
uhara tho alain mana hOdv vUa a
found, or even at some other place?
Or did someone whom Ward is
shielding kill Peters?
Is Ward a justified slayer OF a
foul blackmailer or the hectic pro-
tector OF the innocent7 Or is he the
guilty come to Judgment7

The insurgent victory was re-

Returning together TO the old Will

Logan as we sat in our parlor the
incidents OF the trip and how deeply
touched we were by the devastation

seemed occupied by the graves of the
