Escort for Parade.
As. an escort to the veterans Of
1876, the Army, Navy and Marine
Corps will turn out all available mill
tary units in and near the District
for Wednesday mornings parade.
Troops will assemble at $50 am. in
Constitution avenue on both sides Of
Twelfth street and the column will
move into Pennsylvania avenue from
Twelfth street at 10, marching west
to the reviewing stand in front Of the
White House. It will disband at
Eighteenth street.
The column will be divided into
three divisions, the first composed of
the Grand Army of the Republic. This
division will be led by Maj. Ernest w.
Brown and a platoon of metropolitan
police, and by Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen as grand marshal. Hazen
and his staff will be mounted. Col
John w. Oehmann, commanding the
District National Guard, will act as
chief of staff.
The United States Army Band will
precede Commander in Chief Nelson
and his staff. The official escort will
be composed Of Sons of Union Vet
erans under Commander in Chief
Locke. A band of Civil War musicians
will lead the Al participating depart
ments of the G. A. R.
Though many of the veterans will
be on foot, a large number of them
will be unable to stand the strain Of
marching and will ride in automo-
biles. An appeal to Washingtonians
to provide sufficient open touring cars
to carry the veterans was issued last
night by the general civic group in
charge of arrangements. Owners of
such cars may drive them in the pro-
cession themselves or donate them
for the purpose. Those willing to
furnish cars are asked to commune
cate with Louis G. Carl, GA H street,
telephone District 2775.
