If the spirit of George Washington cohid have been abroad In New York 'this afternoon and. there were many who felt it Van, the) soul of America's tlrst ereat chieftain must 'have thrilled with pride. There wa a parade of soldier on Fifth avenue, nearly '10,1)00 of'thesii. Uut Fifth avenue has seen so many parados there was nothing novel in a military pageant; New Yorkers have cheered loyally all kinds and condi tion -or soruiers. 'iney did not Cheer today. They felt more like weeping. What; they saw was more than a pa rnde, 'it seemed to them like a sol emn dedication. Five hundred thousand men, wom en and children stood for two hours or more In a sweeping, mowstqir.i and stinxing wind to see their sons and brothers and sweethearts march ing by men of the national army. The men In line were New York's own and they were typical of the great polyglot city. Swarthy Armen ian strode aide by side with fair haired Scandinavian. Irish boyi rubbed elbows w.Ith Jews. Italians trudged beside roles. Here and there was a Chinaman and here a'nd there a face that was typically Yankee. Sons of sons and daughters of the revolution marched with boy whose fathers were immigrants a generation ago. But every one of them was a citizen of the United State and' they i were soldiers all. Tbey had beerf fused In the great melting pot of war. , Five months ago the same boys had rambled, throujrh the same street, a nondescript throng of indi viduals clerks and, mechanics bookkeepers and brokers, grocers boys and longshoremen represent ing almost every trade and profes sion and ;lmost every race under the sun. . They were the raw mate rials from which armies are- made. They came back today men of the 77th. division, national army, Camp Upton, welded together in compact military units. Brigades, regiments, battalions. Batteries and companies strode through the wide street In heaVy marchfhg order with the swinging stride of veterans. Their bronzed cheeks glowed with health and their clear eyes shone with pride as they stepped briskly through the haze, of falling snow to the stirring music of their regimental bands. Not a sword nor ait inch of gold lace .. was to be seen. Brigadier General Edmund Wlttenmeyer, with a single gold star on the sleeve of his service overcoat,' marched at the head of the "line like the humblest doughboy of the lot. They were grim, determined, businesslike. Young captains and lieutenants who were carving out peaceful careers a few months aeo. barked commands which were obeyed1 with 5 machine like precision, i POLK POMS BECOMING WARM Uglow Would Be Clerk and Orr Is Again Candidate for Sheriff DALLAS.

' Action to be taken depends en tirely upon whether the men tinder arrest were apprehended while still in the military service after they had been discharged previously on grounds of holding enemy sympathy. If still In the service they would be dealt with under military law.. If, however, the plotters were dis charged from the army and then ar rested the . military ahtborlt!e would simply report the case to the de partment of JiiRtlcej and then hold the prisoners for the disposition of that tribunal.

In this work the secret service an 1 other branches of the department of Justice have cooperated with the war department. Upon the dismissal of a suspect from the army his name, description and place of residence Is sent to the department of Justice, or. if the msn comes within the clas sification of "danaecou enemy al ien" he is held .for transfer to a detention camp. . No statistics have been made pub lic as to the number cf men dis charged a a result of this campaign.
