BISMARCK: DAILY - TRIBUNE MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1917. PARADE FORMS CALA PAGEANT FOR INAUGURAL Moves Down Pennsylvania Ave- nue Which for a Spacious Mile Is Gorgeous THOROUGHFARE REAL TRIUMPHAL COURT By J. R. YODER. (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, March 5.—With a spa- cious mile of bedecked and bannered boulevard stretching before it from the Capitol to the White House, the great inaugural parade started slowly from the capitol west front shortly af- ter noon today. Long before, all traffic on Pennsyl vania avenue had been suspended. Straining against a mile of steel cable, separating the street from the sidewalk, turbulent seas of people there since early morning to hold a place of vantage, awaited the proces- sion. Women suffragists here the thousands announced today they would take no part in the happenings of the events of the day. At 12:15 o'clock the thousands of spectators, who were crowded on the! big plaza on the east front of the capitol, got beyond the control of the police and boy scouts, A troop of cavalry from Ft. Mayer was called upon to hold back the crowds, The gray skies cleared at about 9 a. m, today, two hours before the’ Pres ident was to start for the capitol and weather bureau officials said there would be no rain or snow today. Others of the more fortunate taxed the flag-draped wooden stands, erect- ed along the way, to capacity. The avenue was a veritable trium- phal court, Graceful columns, decked in garland wreaths, lines the way|] while regal arches, suggestive of an- cient Grecian spendor, were reared at intervals. Masses of evergreen, and endless folds of bunting and drapings, adorned them, Advanced Slowly. Up at theWhite House, as the par- ade advanced slowly. down the ave- nue, the presidential: party. assembled to review. With thecWhite \Hause.in the back- ground dnd in the center of the grand court of honor, extending one square along the north side, of the Executive grounds, the. president’s pavilion, en-| } closed: in glass, electrically heated and furnished, was erected. Before it on the street, a military guard stood at attention, As the parade swung around Penn- sylvania avenue at the Treasury turn, President and Mrs. Wilson, with Vice- President and Mrs. Marshall, Chief of Staff General Wood and his personal tlaval' and military sides, took their station in the reviewing pavilion. As the »president; appeared the vast throngs seated in the White House stand and the Lafayette stand oppo- site, cheered. Court: of Honor, The court of honor running along before the reviewing stand was of classic design. Arching pavilions, reared on white columns, guarded the two entrances at the intersections of Madison and Jefferson places. Con- nected with swinging festoons of ever- by academy; colors of the Virginia Polytechnic in- stitute; Washington High School corps; Cul- cinnati, Newark, cracy, Illinois; club, school; Trenton contingent, Trenton, N, J.; Wilson and Marshall Democratic asso- ciation, District of Columbia; many Hall, with band of 50 pieces, of ‘New York City. Teas civilians; club, Harrisburg, Pa. crowned with gilded American eagles, lined the court. Both the White House stand, containing in the center the president’s reviewing pavilion, were heavily draped in bunting of the national colors, The first section to enter the trium- phal court was the vanguard of mount- ed police, headed by Major Pullman, chief of police, following was the first of the bands—the United States Mar- ine in scarlet coats, and white belts. Grand Marshal. Folowing came the grand marshal of the parade, with his staff, the Pres- ident’s escort, the Second United States cavalry, and the Vice-Presi- dent's escort, the famous black horse troop of the Culver Military Institute of Indiana.

Marching clubs in fancy costumes lent variety to the pageant. One en- tire division of the parade was com- posed of veterans of the Civil and Spanish wars. The fast-failing “old- timers” brought forth storms of ap- plause from the crowds as_ they “stuck to their guns” up the tedious mile of asphalt. Some few, unable at their advanced age to meet the exertion, dropped by the way and were hurried into First Aid stations maintained along the route of the pro- cession. The bluejacket section from the At- lantic fleet decidedly caught the fancy of the throngs, and elicited the never- failing remarks anent, “land-legs.” Various and sundry were the ac- countrements carried by the march- ers, They ranged through striped umbrellas, fiourished with mechanical precision by umbrella brigades; canes of multiple description, balloons, and banners galore. All advertising was barred from the parade, As the grand marshals and com- manders of brigades passed the re- viewing stand, at salute, the president responded with an acknowledgement. More cordial, however, was his greet- ing to the Annapolis and West Point cadets as they swept past in irre- proachable formation, and to the Grand Army men, straggling in no such perfect order, but erect and grimly responding to the president's welcome. Many paused briefly ‘to wave individual greetings to the com- mander-in-chlef of the army and navy as they passed. The vice-president and Mrs. Mar- shall paid particular attention to the Culver Military cadets—their escort to the capitol in the morning, as they clattered by on coal black horses, The president appeared also deeply impressed as a group of aged Indian chiefg,,,in .

MARSHALL PAYS HICH TRIBUTE TO COVERNMENT Vice-President in -His Inaugural Address Gives His Own Na. tional Creed (Associated Pres: Washington, (March 5.—Vice Presi- dent Marshall made his second in- augural address before the senate to- day—a statement of his creed of citi- zenship under a government for which, he said, “I ought to be willing to live or to die, as.God decreed, that it may not perish off the earth through treachery within or through assault from without.” The address follows: “Custom calls for the utterance of a few words upon this occasion, other- wise I would gladly remain silent. It may not be inappropriate to express my gratitude fof the little nameless, unnumbered and oftimes unremem- ‘ered acts of courtesy and charity shown to me by the members of this body during the last four years; to express my regret over the vanish- ing faces of those who are leaving and to welcome those who in a few moments are to become our co-work- ers in the cause of constitutional free- dom. Faith in Government. “Everywhere in America are claim- ant and strident voices proclaiming the essential elements of patriotism. He who seeks out of them all to se- lect, one, clear note of love for coun- try, may, fail. 1 conceive it'to be far more important to examine myself than to cross-examine another. May. I make bold to insert in the record some elements of the creed which I have adopted in this period of retro- spection and introspection? ‘It does not embrace what I know, but holds parts of what I ‘believe. “I have faith this government of ours was divinely ordained to dis- close whether men are iby nature ‘fit- ted or can by education ‘be made fit for self-government; to teach Jew and Greek, bondman and free, alike, the essential quality of all men before the law and to be tender and true to humanity everywhere and under all circumstances; to reveal that ser- vice is the highest reward of life. I cannot believe otherwise when I read the words and recall the sacrifices of the Fathers. If ours is not the Gold- en Rule of government, then Wash- ington wrought, and Lincoln died, in vain. World Advancing. “I beliece that the world, now ad- | vancing and now retreating, is never- theless moving forward to the far- off divine event wherein the tongues of Babel will again be blended in the language of a common brotherhood; and I believe that I can reach the highest ideal of my tradition and my lineage as an American—as a man, and a citizen and public official— when I judge my fellow-man without A malice and with charity when I wor- ry more about my own motives and conduct and less about the motives and conduct of others. am liable to be wholly wrong is when I know that I am absolutely right. In an individualistic republic, I am the unit of patriotism and if I keep myself keyed in unison with the mu- sic of the Union, my fellow-man will catch the note and fall into time and step. “I believe there is no finer form of government than the one under which we live and that I ought to be willing to live or to die, as God decrees, that it may not perish from off the earth through treachery within or through assault from without; and I believe that though my first right is to be a Lester that my first duty, when the only principles on which free govern- WILL ERECT BUILDING The time I; Tonight ONLY A WOMAN---THE LAW---LOVE world in Five Stupendous Acts “Metro Travelogue ORPHEUM 2 GRAND NEW BANKING INSTITUTION FOR CITY ANNOUNCED First Guaranty Bank Makes Purchase of Lahr Property for Its Home TO COST ABOUT $30,000 Offi announcement of ihe pur- chase from the.

BRITISH PUBLIC FAILS 10 FATHOM AGTION OF SENATE (United Press) London, March 5.—For the first time today, the British public and press alike seem to have arrived at the complex situation which President Wilson faces because of the senate rules which permitted filibuster. Con- sequently, comment of the British press reflected a more sympathetic at- titude toward the executive and his problem than at any time in recent weeks. The average Britain finds it hard to understand the American feg- islative and political system, and in such a mix-up as the senate found it- self in the last two days, neither Brit- ish newspapers nor the public have been able to fathom.
