Results to Be Rushed to War Depart- ment for Study Tonight; Day Marks Pershing’s Retirement. The Nation's defense machinery, in- tended for actual use only in the event of a war emergency,, was given its first test today, accompanied by patriotic demonstrations in every part of the United States and its posses- sions. It was a limited test, the actual ex- pansion plans of the War Department being designed to cover a period of months, but dealing only with the question of personnel and not with supply, equipment, housing or train- ing, the progressive stages were con- solidated into this one da The day's program called for a trial of the decentralized defense ma- chinery set up since the National de- fense act of 1920 was substituted for the pre-war system. The demonstra- tion of the success of the new scheme of defense will signalize the separa- tion from the military establishment, at least so far as active service is in- volved, of Gen. John Pershing, who has devoted his time since 1918 to perfecting it. When the Defense day tests actu- ally got under way today, it was ap- parent to War Department officials, after #udying reports from outlying commands, that their hopes had been entirely justified by the response throughout the country of men, who for the day had reported for “duty” to corps area commanders and in the 'VAST LEGIONS JOIN DEFENSE PARADES | Hundreds of Thousands Par- ! ticipate in Middle-West Ob- servance of Day. sociated Press.

The flyers over the city seemed to be the eignal for the outpouring of a great crowd which lined the thoroughfare to hail the marchers as they passed on the way to the reviewing stand behind the White House on the Ellipse. An hour before the start of the parade a busy squad of policemen, clearing the line of march of automobiles parked there, was the only sign of preparations. But with the appearance of the flyers the depart- ments began emptying thousands of clerks upon the streets, who lined the | curbstones. When the head of the parade started up Pennsylvania avenue, more than 50,000 persons had congregated on both sides of the historic thoroughfare to ‘witness Washington’s contribution to the Nation’s great peacetime military demonstration. Lined two and three deep along the entire route of the pro- cession, the throng was considered by the police as the most orderly it has | ever handled. Half Women and Children. There were no taunt ropes to keep the spectators within bounds, and but very few made an effort to go beyond the curbstones while the parade was passing. Larger and more enthusi- astic crowds have cheered other mili- tary bodies as they passed along the Avenue, but none has been more orderly. More than one-half of the 50,000 spectators were women and children. The President, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge, left the White House en- trance at 2:20, took their seats in a White House automobile and were carried to their places in the review- ing stand directly behind the Exec- utive Mansion.

OPENS DRIVE TOTAKE WISCONSIN Attack Foilows Dawes’ De- nunciation of La Follette Doctrine in Milwaukee. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, Wis., September 12— Republican organization leaders in Wi consin took steps today to carry on the fight launched against La Follctte's in- dependent candidacy last night by Charles G. Dawes, Republican vice presidential nominee, in an address in the Milwaukee Auditorium. Plans for the contest in Senator La Follette's Progressive home State were discussed informally between local party leaders' and Willam M. Butler, Republican nationai chairman, after last night's meeting, which was attend- ed by an audience that overflowed the auditorium. The hall has a seating capacity of 9,000. Republican national committee offi- cials who accompanied Mr. Dawes here were afforded obvious indications of the trong political feeling that exists this | ear in Wisconsin. Cheers for Senator La Follette were heard frequently be- fore the meeting got under way, and these cheers grew somewhat in volume when Mr. Dawes in his opening sen- tence mentioned the name of the Wis- | consi Senator. The atmosphere seemed to be charged with the feeling existing in the State, several of those on the platform cast somewhat apprehensive glances over the audience, and those in the audience in many cases sat forward in_ their seats, all feeling tha: there might be an open demonstration of these diverse eentiments. Speech Lessens Strain, As Mr. Dawes proceeded with his analysis of the attitude of the La Follette-Wheeler ticket toward con- stitutional questions, particularly the independent platform’'s declaration for congressional veto of Supreme Court decisions, those in charge of the meeting sald they noticed a les- sening of the strain. There were few interruptions from unsympathetic members of the audience thereafter except about midway in the speech, when those sitting in a section near the back of the hall got up and walked noisily out. The Republican organizatios officials estimate the number who did this at 200 or 300 and pointed out thw* their places were taken immediately AT Zn equal num- ber from among the érowd waiting outside. Mr. Dawes declared that “in the mass of clap-trap accompanying the La Follette effort we can see one | steady purpose always in mind—the attack on the Constitution of the United States,” and it was to this at- tack” that Mr. Dawes devoted most of his attention. Calls Semator Demagogue. The Republican nominee described Senator La Follette as “the master demagogue”; warned against any party attempting to take a position in the half-way ground between “those who favor the Constitution of the United States and those who would destroy its essential parts”; declared this division to be the greatest issue of the campaign, and appealed to the voters of Wisconsin to decide the issue “by a full vote of the registered voters, not by the fractional vote which, for the last four years, has been cast in Wisconsin.” Mr. Dawes said he recognized that there were in the country ‘“‘many men who are justly discontented but who are patriotic at heart.” “They may be oppdsed to certain (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.

Envisioning memories of the gray days of 1917 and 1913, when he led America’s fighting forces against a menacing foe, Gen. John Joseph Per- shing today spent his last full day of active service in the Army he loved by witnessing with mingled emotions a satisfying peace-time reiteration of the patriotic spirit of civic' America that enabled him to emerge from the conflict overseas a world hero. It seemed that the National Defense day demonstration was an appropriate farewell to the man whose personal qualities had elevated him from the ranks of the “shavetails” to the high- est military office of the Nation. ‘Will Retire Tomorrow. Tomorrow at noon the United States Army’s only full-rank general of the armies and chief of staff, will become plain Jack Pershing, his title handicapped, but nevertheless hon- red, by that little parenthical word, “retired,” that an appreciative Gov- ernment gives to her soldiers for long and worthy service. As Gen. Pershing tomorrow steps into retirement he will have attained the age of 64 years, 42 of them passed in the vigorous service of the military. Except for the gray hairs and furrows that bespeak the burdens he has shouldered during this long career, this remarkable mar will end his formal activities at the War Department in excellent physical trim, despite the rigors of a war that rocked nations, killed and maimed millions of men and broke down the health of many national figures. He will re-enter the civilian lite With as little ostentation as he left it to enter West Point back in 1886, a 25-year-old normal schood gradu- ate uncertain of his future. Ne Plans for Future. It was said at the War Department today that he is as devoid of definite plans for the future as he was the day his eyes were attracted’ to an announcement of an examination for entrance to the United States Mili- tary Academy and was impelled to slight a career as a teacher for that of a soldier. For the time being Gen. Pershing will continue to be a resident of the National ‘Capital. He is known to like Washington as a residential cen- ter and it is not unlikely that he will make his permanent home here. His closing hours in the service have become a round of felicitations from old and new friends, most of them former comrades overseas. Yesterday officers of the General Staff tendered Gen. Pershing a farewell luncheon in regret at his retirement. With Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, dep- uty chief of staff and choice of Presi- dent Coolidge as the new chier of staff, presiding, the retiring otficer's “family circle” of high ranking offi- cers reminisced of their associations and heard many tales of Pershing's nag career recited by' the guests. And in his typically modest way the guest of honor asked his retire- ment be made no occasion for fow- ers or regret. This morning some 500 Reserve offi- cers who are participating in the de- fense test passed through the gen- eral's private office and on to the stdne portico opposite the White House to shake his hand and give him a word of greeting. Standing bare- headed and smiling broadly, Pershing gave a firm grip to every outstretched hand, and as he recognized in the long line some familiar face he chatted briefly. Greeted by Hays. Prominent among the uniformed guests was Col. Will Hays, erstwhile Postmaster General, and now czar of the motion picture industry, who, with molst eyes, remewed an old friendship and expressed a wish that the general's future might be as suc- cessful s his past. “He's a great man,” Hays zemarked, with choking volce, o & Newspaper man after he had padsed from the portico. “I am glad he considers me a friend.” ‘Another member ofithe group whom Pershin, reeted cordially was Bish- op Ch: Henry Brent, chief chap- lain of ‘the American Expeditionary Force.

The auto was wrecked, but the driver, who identified himself as William S. Cush, a contractor of Third and R streets northeast, Washington, escaped injury. Cush, according to the authori- ties, blamed the accident on a heavy fog.

TWO MEET DEATH INSTOLEN AUTO Youths on Joyride Killed When Car Crashes Into Roadside Tree. Two youths are dead after a joy- ride; one boy is in a serious condi- tion' at Casualty Hospital, and four minor injuries were recorded by po- lice as a result of traffic accidents last night. The deceased are James Hunter, 21 years old, of 24 Foxall road north- west, and Cyril G. Timothy, 22, of 4564 Conduit road northwest. They were in an automobile reported stolen by Hobson Hardee of 3328 M street northwest, and were traveling along New Cnt road near the juncture of Foxall road, when the machine swung off ta 'the side and crashed into a tree. Police were unable to learn what caused the accident. The victims were picked up and taken to Emergency Hospital in the seventh precinct patrol automobile, where Timothy was pronounced dead on arrival by Dr. Searle, while Hun- ter survived for about an hour after- ward. The accident took place at 11:20 o'clock last night. Ten minutes later the report that the automobile had_been stolen was given to police at the seventh_precinct station by Mr. Hobson, who said it disappeared from in tront of his house at about 11 o'clock. Coroner Nevitt will conduct an in- quest into the deaths this afternoon or tomorrow. Has Skull Fractured. At Casualty Hospital Wayne K.

By the Associated Press. JOLIET, 1ll, September 12—Rich- ard Loeb will be assigned to work in the prison chair factory and Nathan Leopold in the rattan factory, War- den Whitman announced this morn- ing. They go to work tomorrow. The announcement was made by the warden immediately after the prisoners. Dressed in blue denim Jackets and trousers and with their hair closely cropped, the boys sat almost in the middle of the prison auditorium. They stared straight ahead, and refused to smile when other prisoners laughed at some re- mark of the speaker. Stared at by Others. When they rose to pass out, all the prisoners turned to take a long look at the latest ccupants of the institu- tion, No 9305 and No. 9306. The boys, Warden Whitman an- nounced, will be kept in different sections of the prison, and will have cells alone for a time. This morning they sat near each other, but the natty appearance and swaggering air of the past was gone. Leopold kept his face down and Loeb did little more than glance over the auditorium. The report of guards to Warden Whitman this morning showed that the boys paseed their first night in prison uneventfully. Leopold went to his bunk at once, and Loeb before 9 o'clock, and both slept well, al- though Leopold appeared down- hearted, according to the guard's re- port. Isolation Is Planned. They listened this morning to a concert by the prison band and to a Defense day address by Rev. Arthur Hamilton, prison chaplain. Warden Whitman told newspaper men that the prison authorities hope to guide and remodel the characters of the prisoners, and added that to this end the youths will be kept en- tirely apart from any outside in- fluences, including friends, relatives, newspaper men and interviewers, The *length of the restriction will depend on their development, he said. After their first night in prison, spent in the “court solitary,” where all prisoners must spend their first night in_the Joliet penitentiary, “Dickie” Loeb and *Babe” Leopold, “dressed in" last night as prisoners Nos. 9305 and 9306, began the first day of life imprisonment for the murder of Robert Franks. Having forfeited a life of ease in their palatial Chicago homes for the routine scheduled for all “lifers,” the prisoners face manual labor in the prison factories. Attepd Exercises Today.

Goddard said he had no conclusions to state at this time, as his work was solely observations and findings, which must be corrected with deduc- tions at Washington. He stated, how- ever, that he found the magnetic dis- ]lurbantas lesgened when the sun dis- appeared and increased when the sun came back, proving the theory of the solar effect on terrestrial magnetism. Donald Mix, radio operator on the Bowdoin, had no explanation for the strange phenomenon which caused his radio signals to travel south- westward from Etah, to be heard best on the Pacific Coast. He said he Zot best results on a 220-meter wave length, but could make no observa- tions on the possible effect of the northern lights on radio, as the lights were mainly invisible from the ship. Signals came through better, he said, in the dark Winter nights than during Summer, and his inability to work steadily with the stations of the American Radio Relay League he at- tributes to some cause still to be ex- plained. Engine Worked Perfectly. John Haynes of Somerville, Mass., the engineer of the Bowdoin, reports the internal combustion oil-burning 45-horsepower engine of American make worked perfectly during the entire voyage. Dr. MacMillan is well known throughout this region, and his land- ing here created much more interest and comment than did the recent ar- rival of the American world fivers. He expects to leave Battle Harbor Friday morning, proceeding via Sydney, Nova Scotia, to Wiscasset, Me., wher: it is hoped the Bowdoin will arrive by September 29. Copyrizht, 192 (O Amert United States and Canada by ewspaper Alliance.) OWE LIVES TO FINE SHIP. Editor's note—The following mes- sage from Capt. Donaid B. Macillan is the first received from the noted explorer since his safe arrival in Labrador last Wednesday. ON BOARD THE BOWDOIN, BAT- TLE HARBOR, Labrador, Sepetmber 11.—We are safely out of the Far North, but we probably owe our lives to the stanch timbers of our good ship Bowdoin. All the way up the Labrador_and Greenland coasts dur- ing the Summer of 1923 we dodged and bucked the ice, finally choosing Winter quarters about 50 yards from shore in Refuge Harbor, Smith Sound, near Etah. By September 7 we were locked in solid by the ice and the al test of the Bowdoin began. The little ship was subjected to a tre- rendous fce pressure and we feared he would give way, but the special construction of steel plates below the water line suved her. She creaked and groaned, but held Iher gun azuinst the st acreas- ing menace of the ice wall around her. Foreed to Cut Way Out. The most perilous adventure of the voyage came on Augues L when we saw that possibly our lives depended on getting out of this ice trap. The harbor was surrounded with a wall of granite rocks. The radiation from these rocks had thawed & narrow belt around the edge. We gought to reach (Continucd on l'age 5, Column 2.) Le Cointe Won’t Race in U. S.
