air fleet lined up Tor the review.
With only a few planes visible
at first, the line grew in visibility
as the procession dropped down
to a low elevation upon reaching
the city.
In elements of three and squad
rOns of .18, their powerful wings,
gliStening in a glaring sun, the
planes fIOated above the river.
Approaching the Memorial Bridge
the lowest planes were only about
500 feet up.
So low did the pilots bring
their ships that spectators could
easily distinguish many of the
markings of famous flying units.
There was the Kicking Mule"
the Hat in the Ring" and others
which have gained fame for the
daring and skill of the men who
flew them over the battlefields Of
France.
Cadets in Line
Lined up with the hardest vet
Grams, with years of flying be-
hind them, were the Kelly Field
cadets. Youngsters scracely out
Of their teens, the cadets have
flown, the thousands of miles re-
quired of them without accident.
Virtually every type of air
worthy craft at the disposal Of
the Army engaged in the impress
sive spectacle. Little single
scatter monoplanes took their
place in the sky alongside
cumbersome biplaned bombers.
Speedy pursuit craft mingled
with other hawks of the air.
Traffic Heavy
Crowds, gaily dressed, swarmed
throughout all the downtown
parts, sitting in the shadow of
the Monument, Lincoln Memorial,
and public buildings.
Arlington Memorial Bridge was
completely covered with Specta-
tors.
1t was extremely hot on the
bridge and even in the surround
ing parks, but the crowds did
not seem to mind the heat.
Traffic was exceedingly heavy
but was moved fairly we'll by
the Park Police. All parking
space within approximately half
a mile of the bridge was occu-
pied by the time the planes
started.

cially announced by the French

Labor Trouble Cause
Miss Guinan's troubles arose

Of cabarets and music halls.
While the French lines an

Harry Pilcer, continued his ef-
forts to have the Ministry Of
Labor sanction Miss Guinan's
contract.
Texas Still Hopeful
Anticipating these efforts
would end in failure, officials Of
the line said the Guinan troupe
would be sent home either on
Wednesday or Friday.
Meanwhile, Miss GuInan.
still hopeful, remained a
prisoner" in the seaport Of

public her detention made JOS
