Fifty Thousand Persons March to Demonstrate Patriotism in Liberty Line on Anniversary of War Declaration. . (Continued From Pat One.) at more than a score of points the ticlJ marshals and captains and their aids were collecting their forces into units and before the starting gun was tired, at 2. o'clock everybody was ready. And promptly at 2 o'clock divisions , Nros. 1 and 2 began the march. Divis ion No. I, with Major R. E. Firth as gradn marshal, and Joseph Kelley, as sistant marshal, started at Tenth street and marched west on Farnam street. Simultaneously, division No. 2, Colonel F. A. Grant, grand mar shal, and Robert Manley, assistant marshal, and headed by the military, started at Twenty-fifth and marched cast on Farnam street. The divisions reached the review ing stand in front of the city hall al most at the same time and but a few .' moments later the desired effect of the parade organizers was achieved, the two long lines of marchers were passing each other. Throngs Cheer Marchers. It was an inspiring sight and when the first company of wholesalers in division No. 1 came face to face with the Fort Crook Soldiers leading divir sion No. 2 cheer upon cheer arose from the watching throngs. As divisions Nos. and 2 came tq the: end of their first march, the parade halted for the moment, .while the military dropped 6ut to form di vision No. 3. And, while divisions Nos, 1 and 2 stood in, review, division No. 3. marching eight abreast, marched up Farnam Btreet from Tenth to Twenty-sixth streets. , Then divisions Nos. "1 snd 2 re turned their march, division No. 1 counter-marching back down Farnam street to Tenth street and division No. 2 counter-marching back up Far mm street to Twenty-fifth street. V , Score of Bands. More than a score of bands were interspersed thronThoi't the march-' ing divisions. Five of the bands were regimental army bands, one from Fort Crook and four' from Camp j Dodge. The Fort Crook band is the ' 41st infantry band. The Camp Dodge hands are tlic 352d regiment, .Wth raiment. 163d depot brigade and the .viiili field artillery, A dozen bands from out in the state and Iowa and several Omaha band? a!Q marched ami pl.iycd patriotic airs. Colonel Pickering, commanding Fort Crook', Colonel Mersey, com manding Fort Omaha; Mayor Dahl man, city officials, members of the Grand Army of tbe Republic, Dr. E. E. Violctte, who is to speak at the Liberty loan mass meeting at the Auditorium tonight, and others occu pied the reviewing stand opposite the city hall and reviewed the long pafade of marchers. It was an imposing spectacle, the most imposing ever held in Omaha, and a new chapter was written in the Ifistory of the Gate City in the few hours during which the great parade took place. The whole parade moved with clock-like precision. There may have been slittle slips or delays here and there, but they went unnoticed In the magnitude of the pageant. Army Officers March. Division 2, perhaps, was a little more impressing than division No. 1, tor it was in division Noi 2 that the uniformed marchers were found. At the head of the section was Colonel Grant and Robert Manley, followed by Major John G, Maher, Major Wal ter Stern, Captain William Faringby, Captain Ada Lepphardt, Captain Wal ter Krusie; Captain E, G. Kerfoot, Ensign F. G. Condict and several vis iting officers from Camp Dodge. Then came the 41st infantry band and the entire 41st infantry from Fort Crook, heads erect, knees high, stepping in perfect military marching form despite the bothersome cobble stones between the car tracks. Close upon their heels came a Fort Dodge band and the Fort Omaha troops and the force of the Omaha naval recus ing station, in company with a num ber of navy lads who are home on furloughs. - , Following the jack tars came the high school cadets and the Crcighton cadets, a crack Boy Scout drill team, and the members of the force at Jhe Omaha quartermaster's depot. I bus was the first section of the second division exclusively military. Impressive Joan of Arc. . Later in division No. 2 came the wo men's division, which rivaled the mili tary section in impressiveness. At the head of the women's section two groups of pages, onein blue and the other m red. heralded with silver trumpets the coming of Joan of Arc. Mrs. Henry Doorly impersonated the French heroine. Miss Gertrude Young designed this part of the pageant, taking a page from an old French book as a model. The Maid of Orleans was mounted on a snow white horse with trappings of sky blue and clad in silver coat of mail. Over her shoulders fell a white satin tunic and her head was covered with a steel helmet from whfch waved a white plume. Then came the Red Cross workers. Then, too, there were other sec tions not so spectacular, perhaps, but every bit as impressive. There was the little company of newsboys, the street urchins who sell daily papers on the corners. Their uniforms were their more or less worn and frayed business clothes and in some in stances they were little better than tattered rags, but those 200 marching newsies, faces and hands shining with new cleanliness and proudly waving their American flags, served their. purpose just as well as the immacu lately uniformed, perfect marching soiaier troops. Business Is Suspended. All in all it was a wonderful spec? tacle; a spectacle unequaled hereto fore, and a spectacle1 the Ijke of which probably will not be seen again in Omaha for many years, at least until the "boys come marching home." All Omaha turned out. Those who did not march in the parade paid their homage to those who did. It was practically a holiday, for the business of the city came to an almost com plete halt during the hours of the pa rade. All of the big industries closed to permit their employes to march in the parade and those who found their business too absorbing to permit of the halt-holiday shut up shop lor the hours of the procession. It was a truly wonderful event, one which will live within the memory of an entire city. , Following is the order of the pa rade. '"'' . -DIVISION NO 1 ; Msjor R. B.
