Rose Petals By Bevies of
Pretty Girls.
BUT 5,000 OF THE BOYS i
IN LINE; 20,000 OTHERS
Crush Of People Along line
of March Cheer "The
Boys In Blue."
Portland, Or., Aujr. 2t).-I5arely 5,0o0
mm in bin., tramped over a easpet of
rose petals through Portland streets to
day in the annual Orand Army parade.
Invigorated by the bright 811,1 ''rut
in r northwesf air and inspired by
" Marching Throiisrh Georgia," they
threw back feeble shoulders anil stretch
ed stiffened limbs for the long march.
The veterans appreciated the novelty of
the shower of rose petals that greeted
then). Pretty giiU t'linig natures eonfet
1i at them for all the world like they
were fending sweethearts off to a new
war.
There was th,. accustomed crush, of
people alonir the line of tnarrh, but the
cheering and smiles were marked by a
new sentiment. There was the thcught
thar. the parades, shortening rapidly ia
length, would be superseded soon by
ntnitbUr columns of victorious Yanks.
Closely following the column of civil
war comrades came a unit of ambu
lances rtady to aid any soldier who had
over estimated his strength. Hut the
cool air was their best friend and ur
piisingly few of the men nf 80 years
dropped ftom the line.
Ttie scarcity of veterans was camou
flaged by a swarm of camp followers
from allied organizations, together with
' ' "leu's f the spruce division and
homo guard. Twenty thousand people
marched. A fif, and drum corps frou
M icoi,sin was a decided hit.
Iowa, Iiidinaa, Kasna had the larg
est delegations. New York had 129 men
in line and they all looked fit. An low-
M';cii.ii favored everybody with a ji-j
