 Under the command of Vice Ad- mlral J. $. McKean, the battleships Utah, New York and Wyoming steamed into the harbor last night and were saluted by Battery D of the 1o2 field artillery from old Fort SeWan.
 Thousands of visitors were expect d to crowd the streets of this quaint old town. Hundreds had ar rived last night and the unaccus- toned throng was further aug mented by attachments of men on shore leave from the fleet.
 The memorial which Secretary Wilbur was to receive told the story Of Marblehead's claim to naval pri- ority. On it were inscribed these words: The first American warship regularly commissioned by authori- ty derived from the United Colonies of North America. commissioned by Gen. George Washington. command cd by Captain Nicholson Broughton of Marblehead. Fitted and manned by men of Marblehead, June 17, IT'S.

 This morning We had a tiring ex- perience. I have made friends with the champion of Oklahoma state and we climbed the 990 steps of the Washington monument. From the top we viewed all Washington.
 The bus then took us to the White House. We entered the Social Wing and passed along the corridor. see- ing many portraits, including that of Mrs. Coolidge and her beautiful white collie, painted by Howard ChaLdIer Christy.
 The East Room was very beauti- ful, with it's lovely draperies and a beautiful gold piano.
 We obtained passes to see the pri- vate wings Of the White House. in cluding the state dining room. the Red Room. the Green Room and the Blue Room. The latter, I thought. was the prettiest.
 We then crossed the avenue to the War and Navy building. We saw the pictures Of statesmen, but most important was the last American flag to be lowered in Germany, also the flag that draped Abra ham lin coln's coffin and the flags that flew over Fort Sumpter in the Civil War. These are all in glass cases hanging on the walls.
 This afternoon We visited Arling- ton Cemetery, the grave of the "Un- known Soldier" and the Curtis Lee mansion, also the Arlington Memo rial Amphitheater which seats 5000 and has standing room for 5000 more. On the way to Arlington We passed the Rock Creek Geological Park. the homes of eX-President Taft the late President Woodrow Wilson, the home of the tate Mrs. Harding and those of many other notables
