HOLD RITES IN CIRCLE

More than ten thousand Indian
apolis persons today united to cheer,
sing and stand with bowed heads
while a Methodist minister, rabbi
and a Catholic priest prayed for
world peace as Indianapolis hons
ored her war dead in the greatest
armistice anniversary parade and
ceremony since the pandemonium
of ten years ago.
To-day, after ten long years, the
ideals for which millions died have
not been attained" declared the
Rev. Edwin w. Dunlavy, pastor of
Roberts Park M. E. church, in an
address from the reviewing stand
at the south steps of the Soldiers
and Sailors Monument. War is not
ended. Permanent peace is still
beclouded. 1t still is only an Ar
mistice we celebrate-an Armistice
which, if nothing more be done, is
certain to end in another World
war"
The speaker then expressed hope
that the new Kellogg pact would
be the actual beginning of an unin-
terrupted movement completely to
Danish war. I'VE are on the thresh-
hold of a new era Of peace which
can be maintained only through a
spirit of friendly cooperation among
nations" he asserted.
Parade An Hour Long
Rev. Dunlavy's address was pre-
ceded by an invocation from Rabbi
Morris Feuerlicht of the Indian
apolis Hebrew congregation. The
Rev. Father M. w. Lyons, pastor of
Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic
church, pronounced the benediction.
The parade required more than an
hour to pass the reviewing stand.
Enthusiastic cheering greeted each
of the eight sections as they
marched down the same streets that
ten years ago were jammed with
hilarious citizens shouting their ap-
proval at the conclusion of a four
year conflict.
Headed by a police escort, the
long procession made an impressive
showing as uniformed members of
military. civic, fraternal and juven-
nile bodies marched in a line ex-
tending from st. Clair and Merid-
ian streets south to the Memorial
shrine and on to Monument circle
where the brief ceremony concluded
the celebration.
LassieS Throw DOughnuts
Particularly significant in the pa
rade was the Elks' float, which car
ried Salvation Army lasses throwing
doughnuts to the crowd. The
Eleventh Infantry band, which led
the military contingents, and the
Murat Temple Shrine musicians, at
tired in red, green and yellow, added
color to the greatest parade held
here since the troops came home
from France ten years ago.
1t was Indianapolis opportunity
70 see the traditional animosity Of
soldier, sailor and marine pushed
aside to honor the fallen members
of all fighting forces. Red Cross
nurses received a continuous ovation
along the line of march, as did the
disabled veterans and war mothers
in automobiles in the third section
of the procession.
The juvenile division of the
parade included Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts and Girl Reserves, followed
by R. o. T. G. cadets and bands
from Arsenal Technical, Manual
Training, Shortridge and Crispus
Attucks high schools.
Place Flowers on Shrine
Soft, slow music accompanied the
placing of flowers on the steps of
Memorial shrine; then blared forth
in rhythmic martial measure as the
long lines swung down Meridian
street. A similar floral tribute took
place at the Soldiers and Sailors
monument in the Circle.
Eleven bands combined in a
mighty symphony, playing Amer
ica," and 1.-The Stars and Stripes
Forever" The services were broad
cast over WFBM, Indianapolis Pow
er and Light station.
DR.. George w. Bowman, general
chairman of the Armistice day pro-
gram, today issued a statement
thanking chairmen of various COM
mittees, individuals and firms who
contributed to the success of the
celebration.
