Several trucks were parked at in- tersections, loaded to capacity with soft drinks, ice cold, which were pur- chased by the Klansmen at 10 cents a bottle.

About 1 o'clock a representative of this newspaper asked the information committee at the Peace Monument just where the different State deleg: tions were to form. “Sorry, brother, came the reply. “It's a secret—just a minute (turning to a Klansman who just came up), “You say you're from Pennsylvania? Well, you join your crowd at Second street and Maryland avenue northeast, right up this way (pointing to Capitol Hill. We are not allowed tspeaking to the reporter) to tell where these men are.” “It's not hard to find out,” was the reply, “for all we have to do is go up in that section and read the ban-| ners.” 'All right,” said the Klansman, 'vou can, but this is secret.” And while this conversation was going on “gecrec, rade w 120,000 | band | closed | tended to Twelrth and East Capitol - parade.

An inspiring sight was witnessed at &tanton Park during one of the numerous halts in the Parade. At Massachusetts avenue and Fourth street a band struck up the “Star Spangled Banner” and instantly every ! head within earshot of the music was uncovered. Civilians in the park, slow to obey the patriotic observance, final- ly jumped to attention when they saw the example set for them by the Klan. When the anthem was con- cluded a roar went up from hundreds of throats that could be heard blocks away. SHADE BEATS SCHOELL.
