HEROES' RELATIVES IN RUSH FOR SEATS Mothers and Wives Of First Dftrision Men Eager To I I - See: Parade. k More than 400 mothers and wives of First division men, proud women from nearly every State in the union, practically stormed the T. iL C A. Eagle Hut from early morning until late last night that they might obtain free tickets for seats in the T" .special -grandstands at Pennsyl vania avenue and Ninth street and Louisiana avenue and Eighth street. Tickets for virtually all the ceats of the Ninth street "Y" stand had been given to-wiu!s and mothers of First mcVi at 8 o'clock last night and tickets were being issued for the second stand. It is expected early today the hundreds of out-of-town women will have taken the entire block. Many persons, not mothers and wives of First men, were out of luck yesterday when, they applied to C. -$L Harrington at Eagle Hut for tickets. Mr. Harrington, wrote out tickets all day yesterday' and had a "wpoden arm" last night. Washington residents featured a local talent vaudeville last night in Eagle Hut and First division men packed the building to the doors.

LIBERTY BOND LIBERTY BOND Ho Bed Tape Pershing Has Love Affair With Girl on Stage But She's Only Five Years Old Gen. John J. Pershing was one of "the boys" last night and he had a gay time. If you think he didn't listen to this bit of enthusiasm from the lips of the General: "It has been a long while since I have seen so many pretty girls at once." And to demonstrate that he knows what he is talking about, and that his judgment of feminine loveliness Is on a par with his military Judg ment, General Pershing kissed one of them, not once but several times, and hugged her for good measure. "He is just too grand for any thing;" that's what the lucky girl thinks of General Pershing. His face turned redder than the background of his flag at the com pliment. He played with the ends of his coat with youthful embarrass ment. It was not exactly what might be termed military bearing, but then what was that anyhow compared with a throbbing moment like this. ,. Happened at Theater. It all happened at Poll's theater. The General and his party attended a performance of "Nothing But Love," and it was all of that as far as Gen eral Pershing was concerned. He wandered behind the scenes during one of the Intermissions and complimented the principals and the manager on the excellent perform ance. Among the cast flocked about him was Miss Mlllicent "Kcwpie" Gleeman, five-year-old member of the cast, who nervously clasped his hand and looked up at him admiring ly. She carried Cupid's bow and ar row, in her other hand. The general was vulnerable. He submitted to love's glances, clasped the sweet tot in his arms and hugged and kissed her. "I got what 1 wanted. I kissed Free "Eats" Smokes, and All Home Comforts For First Division Men Here j The various welfare organizations I arc all working for the comfort of (First Division soldiers tomorrow.

Participating in the lino of inarch, tomorrow, will be a fully equipped Red Cross unit, consisting of over seas Red Cross workers, commanded by Major Clark Williams, the chief Red Cross representative. Major Wil liams served with the First division in the Sommerville, the Anscauvillc and the Montdidier sectors; Cantigny, Solssons. the eecond battle of the Marnc, St. Mihiel, the Argonne, the Mouse and Sedan. He never was rounded, although often under heavy fire. Following this unit will be thp famous rolling kitchen. Just as it was at the front, that fed the Twenty seventh division when it helped to break the Hindenburg line. This kitchen is camouflaged and bears marks received from shells and bul lets. 'Y" Workers In Line. Washington will be well represent ed in the First division parade by Y. M. C. A. men and women, who served with the First as , welfare workers in France and in Germany. O. H.

Made Record Selling Bonds. During the drive for war funds .Kewpie" made a record on the streets of New York city for her sale of Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps. She was known tq many as "General Pershing, jr." She became an ardent admirer of the general, and her one hope vas that some day she would have the opportunity to meet him personally. The opportunity came last night, and it knocked but once. That's all it had to. Smiling and still blushing. General Pershing, with his aide-da-oamp. Col onel Quackcneyer, who had accom panied him. returned to their scats. In General Pershing's party were members of his btaff and Senator and Mrs. AA arrcn. They occupied the resident's box. Time and time again the general was given rousing checr3 by the audieacc. Ovation -on Leaving. When the General left the theater he received the same enthusiastic greeting with which he was received when he entered. A young woman in the foyer broke from the crowd to say something to him. A police officer sought to in terfere, but the General himself stepped in front of the policeman and with military precision removed his cap and shook hands with her. Early this morning General Persh ing was at his desk in the Land umcc .uuuaing disposing or a mass of accumulated business. He was frequently interrupted by calls from officials and Congressmen.

PRESIDENT INVADES CALIFORNIA ON TOUR (Continued from First Page.) of the train away from the station lights and rambled back to his private car. This was only the second walk of more than one hundred yards that he has taken since he left AVashing ton. Hopes They'll See the Llghjb- Prcsident AVilson. In his relent speeches, has seemed to be addressing his remarks partly to those Senators who oppose the treaty. At Portland last night he said flatly he had no "respect for some of his opponents, but with regard to others he said: "I pray God that these gentlemen who are de laying this thing may presently sec it in a different light." The President's train left the North ern Pacific lines last night and was placed on the Southern Pacific. Pres ident AVilson. strolling about the plat form, was introduced to and chatted a few minutes with the Northc'rn Pa cific officials who have accompanied the train from St. Paul to stake di rect charg"c of arrangements for Its safety, telegraphing their orders ahead. These officials left the train here. President Wilson, In his ramblings around the Portland railroad yard, was interested in (he names ot some of the Pullman cars. He accosted a porter and asked him for the pronun ciation of one. Tho porter failed to recognize him in the dark and did not know until later that he had been talking with the President. Voices Nctt Creed. President Wilson uttered a riew creed today in a few short addresses at points along the route between Portland and San Francisco. The President said: VLet us, every one of us, bind our selves in a solemn .league and cove nant of our own. that we will let no man stand in our way of leadership, and that in leading we must not lead along paths of national' advantage, but along tho lines of human rights and the salvation of the world." Demands United Action. The creed originated last night late in Portland, where, under the in spiration of an audience that cheer ed his every uttsranco to the echo, tho President demanded united action In demanding that the Senate ratify the Versailles treaty as it stands without any amendment that would require the resubmission of the treaty to the signatory powers. fTnll Tn Pnirtntt Mrn. Tho President today was engaged in rallying to his support, and to the support of tho treaty, the so-called mild reservationista" of the United States Senate. It is understood h believes they will back him up when the final show down comes, and there will be no amendments or reserva tions adopted that will change in any" way the actual text of the treaty so that It will have to be submitted again for consideration to the Paris conference, or to Berlin. That was what the President had in mind in his -speech last night,. it was pointed out today, whon.Jiq said: "I call upon, those patriotic men to whom I have referred; and they are honest patriotic men. who have been critical, ot tho details of the treaty, to forget those details and to stand with mo to redeem the promise of the United States. Truth must al ways be triumphant- America was willing to sacrifice her all in the war, and she is willing1 now to sac rifice It. but not only for her own people, but that freedom may reign throughout the world."
