Anchored off the point is the de- stroyer division, No. 26, consisting of the Worden, Reid and Reuben James. The division is commanded by Com- mander L. W. Townsend of this eity, who also Is captain of the Worden. The U. S. S. Langley stood down stream from the navy yard shortly after 10 o'clock and anchored at the mouth of the Anacostia river. In Washington channel ahead of the destroyers are the coast guard ship Apache and the coast guard training ship Alexander Hamilton, the latter having come up the river at 10 o'clock and taken her place at the head of the column. Between the line of vessels and Potomac Park are moored nearly a score of sea- planes. The Navy mine planter Sand- piper is anchored in the Anacostia river off the naval air station. Drills Begin Early. Early today the destrover division started in_with drills, and the sea- wall was lined with people, many of whom were getting for the first time a glimpse of the Navy in action. Early morning was given over (o the usual routine of cleaning ship, following which there was a muster at quarters, and then the day's drills began under the direction of Capt. Townsend, division commander aboard the Worden. One of the most spectacular drills was when the ships sent fire and res- cue parties ashore. This is a duty in which the seamen are trained to an. swer quickly and promptly calls for aid from the beach to_assist in fighting fires or rescuing. Men equipped with axes, lines, fire extinguishers, hose, smoke helmets and other valuable fire- fighting and rescue equipment are sent ashore in boats from the vessels. Later a dummy was thrown over- board, and the “man overboard” signal was hoisted and promptly answered by the Worden, whose lifeboat was lowered and the “man” was rescued in &8 minimum of time. Then came the drill, which is the basis of all work in the Navy, “general” quarters, when the men, on signal, rush to their battle stations, and man the guns ready for use against the enemy. During these drills small rifies only are fired; guns firing separately and in salvos on signal from the flag- ship. Later in the week the gun crews will fire blank charges from the big guns. ‘Work of People’s Navy. Capt.

Loulsville won another do; er Sunday from the Brewerf making five straight wins and dem®hstrating that the team has recovered its con- fidence. De Berry and Tincup were the winning pitchers, both keeping the visitors helpless most of the time. Brottem, Hame and Tincup contrib- uted ‘ong hits, and Betzel made a supera~tch, which probably saved the first game. The scores were 5 to 3 and 9 to 2. “I will make a public downtown speech favoring the Ku Klux Klan, at 8 o'clock, ‘Thursday, and if any- return “Louls- an and le-head- ibedy forbids me to do it; I will do it anyway,” the Rev.

One hundred and twent; “hardest boiled” drill sergeants of the Marine Corps, together with twenty-five officers who are experts in drill and the science of marching, will marshal the hosts of uniformed Shriners who will take part in the parades of tomorrow and Wednesday and superintend the marching, so that it will be conducted in the most mili- tary method possible. Use of the marines for this purpose was requested by the Shrine com- mittee as a result of the experience in the parade at the Shrine conven- tion last year In San Francisco, where, due to the lack of organized RAIL COLONIES GAY WITH 10,000 NOBLES Brilliance and color eclipsed dull, drab, sooty raflroad yards at Alex- andria, Va., and Eckington today, fol- lowing the arrival of about 10.000 Shrine pilgrims at both places, and monotonous stretches of tracks and ties where the customary siren- shrieking and steam-hissing held sway yesterweek have been transformed into a hive of buzz- ing visitors. Where the routine called for occa- sional clashing of cars being shunted around the yards by engines, today music from br: bands drowns out almost every other sound; the view of patrol teams marching to the en- joyment of cheering spectators blurs the vision to the silent ranks of everyday Pullmans and a sea of crimson fezzes relieves the landscape from a distance. At Alexandria, approximately 3,000 are arriving today. As soon as the trains come in there is a rush for soft drink stands, information booths, telephones and telegraph offices. Each of these temporary institutions be- comes as popular as all-day suckers at a kindergarten picnic. Hundreds - Arrive Hourly. Allow five minutes after the arrival of a train for the red-thatched visi- tors to get their bearings, and all turn their eyes to the American Mecca. Gasoline, steam and electric- ity are bringing hundreds of them up the roads, and along the rail routes every hour. The road from Alexandria to Wash- ington is moving throughout its en- tire length with touring cars, busses and sundry types of the improved horseless charfot. To look on the road from a height one imagines that it is nothing but a huge, moving con- veyor belt with machines parked on it at intervals, twisting between hills and valleys from Washington to Alexandria and back again. The Southern railroad is running a fifteen-minute shuttle service from the Shrine Park to the foot of 14th street—and finding capacity crowds for each trip. By far the most popular route, how- ever, is the electric_line which will bring visitors to 12th street and Pennsylvania avenue every few minutes throughout the day. Every car is packed. “Temple station” has been established elDeMlH{ for the accomodation of vlllflnx&lgrlml.

Supervised by a body of military experts, it is believed thers will be no such incidents in the Washington parades. The detachment will be command- ed by Maj. James Meade of the famous 6th Marine Regiment. For several dayvs the commander and his officers have been in conference with the Shrine authorities and have gone carefully over the route of march Wwith their men so that every man will know the desires of the Shrine parade committee and will - be familiar with his own personal task in the work of keeping the parade in proper formation of ma; > schedule tim, e Feet Only Allowed to Stand on During Parade Tomorrow If you are going to be one of the thousands who will stand along Pennsyl a avenue to- morrow, bring nothing but your natural pedestals to stand upon. Maj. Sullivan, superintendent ©of police, todny issued a final reminder to the public that the police will not permit the use of boxes, barrels, echairs or other obstructions along the line of march. This rule is essential, the police say, to permit free move- ment of the crowds along the sidewalks and to prevent acci- dents. —_— tioned at every principle corner of the Arlington county metropolis and’ on the roads heading toward the city. Half of them are imported men from Washington, doing special duty for Shrine week. It's a 50-50 chance that the first one met on the road doesn't know the town of Alexan- ria. At Eckington, an idea may be ob- tained of the throngs by multiplying Alexandria’s contingent by 2. The Baltimore and Ohio yards, ‘fronting on Eckington place, at New York anq Florida avenues northeast, where au- tomobiles, vegetables, carioad lots of paper and similar ftems are ordinarily the cargoes handled, are devoted ex. clusively to traffic of the human spe- cles. Freight sheds are eating houses. Box cars have become shower-bath houses. A few timbers and a bunch of bunting become an information booth. Tracks are jammed with sleepers. Street cars are the principal means for transportation to the downtown sec- tion, although the pedal extremities and taxicabs and private automobiles are finding ready acceptance from visitors. A group got in at midnight last night, demanded a mlidnight lunch and ‘routed out of bed some dozen waiters or so for services. They ate so much that the breakfast ra- tions for a while were thought to be impaired because of the inroads made on them. The freight shed eat- ing house today was accomodating approximately 1,200 persons per meal, And this is in addition to those fed in dining cars attached to special trains. Restaurants in Alexandria are being crowded for every meal. Stands are orected in the streets and on fleldy near the park.
