MAX HARDY TELLS OF WASHINGTON
Canon City Boy Bees Famous War-Bcarred Marines March <n Review
Before President Wilson on Pennsylvania Avenue.
Washington. D. C.. Sept. 3. 1919.
Dear Pete—Every since I bit Wash
ington 1 have been in a crowd. Just
now it is hard to remember when I
last got u seat in a street car. From
the time 1 shove my way into the
street in the morning until night
when I fight the crowd to get out
again. I am pushed along
around by the thousands*of govern
ment workers.
By far tne largest crowd ! have seen
here was on the day that 8.000 marines
of the Second division paraded. These
men are the heroes of Belleau Wood.
Soissons and St. Mlhlel. They are
all wearing three and four gold serv- j
Ice stripes, and many have as many !
wounds. A lot of them have been j
decorated by the Vnlted States and 1
foreign governments. When these
men marched down Pennsylvania ave
nue they were cheered by every per- j
son in Washington who could possib’y j
get out to see them.
'I went down early so that I could
find a good place to see. The em
ployes in every department of the gov
ernment were given an hour off so
they might have plenty of time to see
the parade. AH along the avenue
from the capitol to the White House,
a distance of about 2o blocks, the peo
ple were packed against the ropes 20
or 30 deep.
The reviewing stand was built in
front of the W r hite House. President I
Wilson. Mrs. Wilson. Gen. March. Sec-J
rteary Baker and some others were to ,
be in the stand. To the right of the J
I stand was the United States Marine i
j Band. This band is also ca’led the
; "President's Own.” It is said to be I
| the largest and best equipped military j
j band In the country. It p ays for all
i official affairs and gives concerts
i three or four times a week. While ,
the crowd was waiting for the parade
| to appear this band gave a concert i
Although the Marine band Is a very |
' good one. I couldn't help noticing the dlf
i ference between it and the bands of
| the regiments that paraded. To a rau
: Biclan. I guess theirs was the best
music, but It was the other bands'
! playing that put the pep into the sol-
I dlera. and that made the biggest hit ,
with the crowd.
On the other side were the soldiers !
from Walter Reed army hospital ;
There were over 100 of them there j
who were minus either a leg or a band ;
or arm.
Across from the stand were the Yeo- j
men (F), the female stenographers
and clerks in the Navy Department.
They all wear uniforms of white duck j
and white straw sailor hats Most
of them look very nice In these uni- !
forms or In anything else for that mat
ter.
During the last part of the war It
was getting to be the fad for differ
ent departments to adopt uniforms j
The Yeomen (F) were the first to do
this. Then the girls who were c erks
and stenographers for the Marine
Corps began wearing marine uniforms i
with skirts and overseas caps. There i
were several other departments that j
planned the adoption of this idea when
the war ended. There seems to be a ,
lot cf opposition to the uniform idea
among the girls. The argument is
that anything done by any girl in uni
form Is credited to ail who wear that ,
un form. In this way some of these ■
organisations have gotten the reputo- ]
tlon of being a bnnch of wild women.
Now very few uniforms are seen on j
the streets.
I managed to get myself fairly near
the rope, and believe me. my height
no handicap. Every one in the
front row seemed to have an umbrella
or s targe hat. Just before the head
of the column appeared, the President
and his party entered the stand. This
was the signal for everyone to cheer
and for short women in the rear to
shove and push.
Then the marines arrived, led by
one of their 75-plece bands. Each
man wore his tin hat. a light pack and
marched with bayonets fixed. They
took nearly 45 minutes to pass. A
good many of inem are from the Dis
trict. Virginia and Maryland. They
were aqxlous to show up well at home, j
and every man put Into it everything ,
he had.
As soon as the parade had passed ,
everyone near crowded across to get j

a closer view of the President and the
party. All of the women wanted to
size up Mrs. Wilson's clothes. I saw
one man lifting his wife up so she
could see wlua kind of a hat Mrs.
Wilson wore. There seems to be as
much comment on Mrs. Wilson’s
wearing apparel as there is on Mr.
Wilson's league.
Wherever the President goes he
draws a big crowd. The church he
attends does a rushing business now,
and Keith’s vaudevi le is always sold
out on the nights Mr. Wilson is there.
When his car arrives to take him a
drive, the people who are passing be
gin to line up at the gate to see him
take off his hat to them. This is all
right for any one who has never seen
him. but I don’t think I would walk
very far or stand in the rain to get a
second look at him. Yours very truly,
MAX.
