Tanks, Planes and Everything. Scores of tanks, great and small, crawled over the asphalt. Squadrons of airplanes in battle formation and giant dirigibles followed the proces- | ion overhead, the thunderous drum of their motors drowning the shouts of the crowd and the martial music of eighty bands. The fire and smoke of the battlefield, the wail of sirens, and | shattering explosions of bombs, hand | grenades and guns brought a sense of the grim reality of war. -More than 300 cleverly devised floats showed the | army’s activities in a way never be- fore understood by the layman. A Peep At Front Linc. Trenches, machine gun emplace- ments, dugouts, camouflaged artiller positions, signal stations and lookout | posts, all manned by fully equipped ! doughboys, were shown.
