conducting the fight against the cheaper

Agricultural experts and consumers' rep

T. Henry Walnut, Assistant United States
District Attorney, who Is directing the
round-up of draft slackers, assures every
new army candidate In the city that he
will receive a square deal.
He made It plain that the lawyers ap
pointed by Goernor Brumbaugh to counsel
local draft boards would nlso protect the
Interests of men who nre fighting for ex
emptions, and was emphatic in his asser
tion that no man would be "railroaded into
the army."
"There are fifty-one 'oral draft boards
In the clly." said the Federal prosecutor,
"and each board has an attorney, it will
become the duty of these lawyers to extend
legal advice to the draft olllclals whenever
necessary and also tn lmndln exemption
appeals that are made to the district boards.
"Each board has scores of exemption
claims to handle, and It Is only natural that
many of the decisions will be qtiRslloncd.
Men who nre denied exemptions by local
boards have the rlfiht to nppeal their clalmn
to ths district appeal boards, nnd hundreds
have done an. Such appeal are made. In
the form of Hflldavlts, and to protect the
district appeal boards against frauds, the
attorneys reprcfentlng the local draft
boards wilt examine the adldavlts.
"The attorneys will receive definite In.
structlons on Monday "
Labor leaders who, on Thursday, made In
timations to Appeal Hoard No, 2 that mu
nitions makers In this city were using the
draft as a club to force workers to accept
unfavorable working and woge schedules,
will have to be specific with their charges
and put them In the form of allldavlls be

vestigation. Officials of the Mldvalc Steel plant, who
Wero named by the labor unionists us the
mer who "ought to be watched," have de
nied the so-called charges and today an
nounced that they would file affidavits dis
closing their attitude toward the draft and
tin! workers who have been requested to file
Industrial claims.
"We want nil the Information obtain
able." said Walter Willard, chairman of the
board, "but the Information must be pre
sented In affidavit form. The labor men
who appeared before the Board on Thurs
day did not make specific charges, but
were very fair In their treatment of the
board and promised to co-operate by pre
senting any evidence which they may ob
tain In connection with lneguloritles in the
exemption of Industrial workers.
"Officials of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works and Mldvale Steel plant did the
same. We have nothing to Investigate un
til somebody files specific charges."
NATIONAL GUARD UNITS
STIR THRONGS TO LAUGH
Field Bakery Company Kneads
Bread on Float Baked on
Line of March
Nntlonal Guaid units In the line of
parade today, being thoroughly familiar
with the temper of Philadelphia crowds
from previous expcilence, brought down
many a laugh. This was especially true of
the field bakery company.
Seven members of this company aboard a
big truck were kneading dough for all they
were worth, nil the time keeping time with
the trune, "Where Do We Go Prom Here,"
played by a band following them, as they
left the starting point. They were knead
ing a big pile of dough about four feet
across and as they finished it men on foot
with uniform of khaki, white caps and long
white aprons passed It back to another
truck, where an oven was kept hot. The
loaves were taken out as the parade pro
ceeded. Much disappointment was caused by the
First Pennsylvania Cavalry troops A. I
and G, which appeared dismounted. The
disappointment was apparent as soon as
their Identity was discovered all along the
line. One mother commented, "What Is an
army without mounted cavalry?"
The field hospital unit, with stretchers
folded for distance marching, were greeted
with a kind of cheering entirely different
from that of any of the other marchers.
The crowd managed to create the feeling
that these men were truly of the unit of
mercy, and many persons remarked that
they "hoped there would be little for these
lads to do."

SIDELIGHTS, GRAVE AND GAY,
ON GREAT MARTIAL DISPLAY
Women Wistfully Watch Marcher With Final
Chance to "Be a Man" Needlework Con
tinues Briskly on Sidewalk and in Auto
Two women one old and giay-h.ilred
atid stooped, the other oung and uray
hnlred and stooped stood and watched the
long column, apparently unmoved by any
thing that they saw, unmoed by the sober,
determined faces of the men that marched,
unmoved by the martial music, unmoved by
the patriotic cheering of tho throngs. Hun
dreds and hundreds of men passed by and
then thousands. Still these two women
watched.
After a long time a mm passed that they
knew, lie was looking for them, and when
they saw him they acd their handker
chiefs and smiled, but did not speak. The
man smiled, and ho did not speak. He was
a big fellow, strong of body but he had a
weak chin. You could see his hands were
used to work and he was not good-for-nothing,
but lie was weak of will. You could
see that. Whisky had made Its marks on
his face
After a while the younger woman said.
"Well, its his chance. Maybe It will make
a man of him."
"I shouldn't wonder." said the other, not
ery hopefully. That was all.
Maybe they were mother and sister;
ma j be mother nnd wife.
rialn may have reduced t lie number of
men that marched and It may hae teduced
the number of women that knitted while
they waited for the marchers, but those
who did participate in tho columns or on
the "side lines'" were full of enthuslusm.
Women of all ages, sires, shapes and colors
wero busy with their needles while they
waited for the parade, using what shelter
they could find or using none, nnd laughing
Just tho same, if they could find none.
The spirit of democracy was among the
women, too. Here and there one could see
a woman of humble station showing some
new "stitch"' to a "fine lady," here and
there a weman smiling from a parked au
tomobile at one standing on the curb lie-
cause they were both making mufflers. It
seemed that the colonel's lady and Judy
O'Grady were sisters under their skins, and
more.
One of the marchers, who took the whole
thing as the most serious business, ap
peared to be marching just because it was
the thing to do, nnd not because he really
wanted to. He looked as if he thought
the parade was a kind of foolishness that
Blmply took everybody's time nnd didn't
accomplish any good. He was a man with
no Eentlment Just a sense of duty and a
disposition to do what his Government told
him to do.
A shower of capsules bearing the city's
good wishes fell from an airplane far in the
air. His comrades scrambled for them, but
the man went on, smiling Indulgently.
Presently the wind caught one of the cap
sules and droc it againM the man's cheek,
slinging him. Ills hand went up involun
tarily nnd his face winced with pain for an
Instant. A few members nC the crowd,
maybe two or three who had seen laughed.
The rest of the crowd laughed, Just because
when two nr thiee do nearly everybody else
Just has to. Then the man grinned mid his
fellows In the column began to laugh. Not
moio than a dozen perilous knew what the
cause of the mirth was In the beginning, but
soon everybody was as "tickled" as If he
knew all about It.
One of the drafted men who assembled
at Thirteenth stieet and Allegheny avenue
was n tall mulatto, who had been hand
some vet lecently. lie was straight ns un
at row. well dressed, clean looking and had
one of those stylish little moustaches. Hut
lie had a lot of bandages around his fote
head. Questioned, he said he came by the
bandages this wny:
Ills wife had planned a trip to Atlantic
City for today, but when she told him
tc- get up and dress this morning ho said
he guessed he wouldn't go to the shore ;
ho preferred to march with the ret,t of tho
drafted men, But his wife was more mus
cular than patriotic. She seized a clothes
line prop nnd wielded It with telling effect.
Tho patriotic draftee recovered conscious
ness in a hospital nnd went out to march.
He said he hoped lie would meet Hlnden
burg before he met his wife again.
While the selected service men were foini
Ing In line at Broad and Cumberland streets,
nn aged, white-bearded man suddenly called
out, "There Is my boy !' A policeman of
tho KlcveiUh nnd Winter streets station,
who was standing nearby, turned toward
the aged man, pointed at the recruits, and
said, "There goes my boy. too." The two
proud parents clasped hands and wept si
lently for several minutes.
A feature of the parade was the elaborate
display of the Baldwin locomotive Works"
Kddysjone plant, which was led by an auto
mobile bearing a banner. "Our Knergles are
Concentrated to Help Win tho War."
There followed a float bearing a full-size
model of a gasoline engine, such as are
being sent to Kurope by Baldwin's. Over
It was a banner saying, "These Will Carrv
Food and Supplies to the V. S. A. Boys In
the Trenches."
Another float showed the 200 separate
parts of a rifle, and in the middle was a
Mack of complete rifles. "This is What the
I". S. A. Hoys Use When They Go Over the
Top" said the banner. On this' float was a
target, and men In soldiers' uniforms demon
strated rlfie tests.
The Baldwin display was completed by
two floats bearing steel and brass shells
from three to twelve inches in size. A ban
ner said, "These Will Clear ths Way for the
I. S. A. Boys When They Go Over tho Top "

Elaborate System, Devised by
Chief of Electrical Bureau,
Keeps Crowds Informed
By a most elaborate system of tele
phones, devised by Chief McLaughlin, of the
Electrical Bureau, the thousands of persons
that thronged the sidewalks were kept con
stantly Informed as to the progress of the
parade both while It was In process of for
mation and while It was passing down
Broad street to the place of dispersal.
Telephone booths were erected at twenty
four of the principal street Intersections
along the route of the big procession.,, In
each sat nn employe of the Electrical Bu
leau, with a telephone, headset crowning
him like a helmet. His mouth was close
to a transmitter that hung before him.
As each division passed, he icported the
fact to the Electrical Bureau. When some
one In the crowd asked a question about
any division, he queried the Electrical Bu
reau and received the Information that had
been supplied by one of the other sentinels.
Frequent announcements of the movements
of the line were made to the crowd by
megaphone,
"How soon will she start?" shrilled a
small boy at the southeast corner of Broad
and Chestnut streets, some minutes after
It had been announced that the head of the
line had left Lehigh avenue. The man on
duty In the booth consulted with the Elec
trical Bureau for a moment then shouted
through his megaphone.
"The head of the parade has Just arrived
at Qlrard avenue, It will reach Chestnut
street In twenty-five minutes."
Throughout the afternoon, while the
marchers were sweeping past, mothers,
fathers and other relatives and friends of
the conscripted men kept up a constant
flow of Inquiries.
"Did the Frankford. boys pass yet?"
called a womsn,
The men of the Thirty-fourth District,
which Includes Frankford, are now passing
Arch'Street," was the answer.
One woman,, greatly wrought up by ex
citement, pride and grief, merely demanded,
"How soon will my boy passT"'
"Where does he liver' asked the Elec
trical Bureau man. "When the woman re

GERMAN MOTHER SENDS
SON TO FIGHT FOR U. S.
Buptist Conference Hears How
Missionary's Wife Proved
Loyal to Adopted Land
How one German mother decided the
question of loyalty was told today at the
Atlantic Conference of German Baptists,
which closed Its business program at the
Klrst German Baptist Church, Ninth and
Luzerno .streets.
It was the recital of Mrs. Jacob Heln
I'lchs, who Is on furlough with her hus
band from the German Baptist mission at
Itamapatam, India.
"I received a telegram, while my hus
baiiad was In the West," said Mrs. Heln
richs, "from my son In Boston, stating that
he had been called to France nnd was to
sail in three days, and asking me to meet
hin- in New York. 1 hurried to catch the
ntxt train.
"At the end of the three days my son
asked that he might have my blessing be
fore he went. My boy, going to fight the
people I loved.
"I, Bald 'Yes, you are going with my
blessing, because we must be loyal to our
country, no matter how we'feel about th
war.'"
The question was brought up privately
among the ministers at the conference on
the advisability of sending a message to
1'resldent Wilson assuring him of the? loy.
alty of the German Baptist churches The
consensus of opinion was that such a tteo
was unnecessary, likening It to the reoetl
Hon of the marriage pledge of loyalty and
faithfulness which Is not deemed necessary
after having once been given.
They had nothing to thank the Kaiser for
they said; he did not help them get their
dally bread and butter. This country gave
them better conditions, a better future and
they were thankful to the Government tinder
which those conditions might be maintained.

PHILADELPHIA GIVES GLORIOUS
GREETING TO HERO-SONS ON PARADE
Continued from race One
white In spite of the. rain earlier In the day,
who flowed by and looked like a great white
river disappearing In the distance down
Broad street On every hand the croviJ
mado comments upon theso wonderful look
ing, vigorous, determined young men, who
marched with a snap which sent n rever
beration of footfalls back up Broad Btreet to
that other army of young Americans who
will soon be marching with tho same pre
cision and tho samo determination to do or
die for Uncle Sam.
The great column fifty thousand men
moved away on time from Diamond street
down Broad between lanes of cheering
thousands waving flags, smiling and laugh
ing In admiration and love for the men who
vv'ero going away to fight for them.
In the line were approximately 7000
drafted -men and thousand"! of former Na
tional Guardsmen. Civic and patriotic or
ganizations and thousands of men In service
swelled the ranks.
Mayor Thomas B. Smith, grand marshal
of the parade, with a platoon of mounted
police, nnd Brigadier General William O.
Price, Jr., headed the column.
On both sides of Broad street trom City
Hall to Arch stret tut nged veterans of the
Civil War In chairs, cheering the men who
nro going Into the new National Army.
Many of these hoary veterans were mere
boys when this country was threatened with
destruction as a result of Internal strife.
Many of them falsllled their ages to gain
opportunity to help preserve the Union and
there were nmong the draftees today some
that had done the same for the same pur
pose. DRAFTED MEN IN LINN
A llio linn nim-pd south on llload htieet
the ranks were swelled constantly by draft
ed men, who, by Invitation of the district
boards, had mobilized along the route.
The ofllclal reviewing stand was located
on the west side of Broad street Just
below Arch. Besides Governor Brum
baugh's staff, the reviewing party Included
Adjutant General T. .1. Stewart. Bear Ad
miral Tnppan, commandant of the navv
yard; Colonel Montgomery, commandant of
the Frankford Arsenal; Major lletherlng
ton. Mrs. George Qulntard Horwltz. Mayor,
of Moorehaven, Fla., who vrns recently made
n major by the Governor of Florida ; Judge
and Mrs. J. Willis Martin. Mr. nnd Mrs,
Thomas ftobins and Mr. and Mrs. Henry C.
Hoycr.
The city stand, with a seating capacity
of 1200, was. erected on the north plaza of
City Hall, facing up Broad street. It was
occupied by Councllmcn and city and county
officials with their wives and friends.
Gl'NS SOUND TB1BUTE
Around City Hall moved the marchers,
nnd as they swung Into view of the Union
League a great cheer rose from tho throng
assembled on reviewing stands on either side
of the entrance. A cannon boomed n salute
to them at a signal from John Grlbbel,
president of the league, nnd thereafter the
great gun spoke in tribute to the drafted
men and other soldiers at minute intervals.
Women were grouped In one stnnd at the
Union League and men In the other.
At least half of the drafted men took
part In the great procession, which required
five hours to pass a given point. They
were divided into three battalions, the first
carrying red banners, the second bearing
white and the third blue.
After the salutes were completed the guns
kept booming, giving to the event a note
of battle realism, which was strengthened
bv the appearance of United States air
planes, soaring nbovo In the most elaborate
flight ever made in Philadelphia. Little
capsules or "bombs," containing the city's
good wishes for the soldiers, were dropped
from the 'planes.
MARCHED LIKE SOLDIEItS
The drafted men were an Ill-favored lot,
so far as uniforms were concerned, but thej
marched proudly nnd like soldiers. They
wore all kinds of clothes and all kinds Df
lints, from cheap straws to pure beaver
sombreros. Some were well nnd fashion
ably tailored men of affairs; others, labor
ers In "hand-me-downs."
But they marched with martial tread,
keeping straight lines, chests out, shoulders
square, heads up.
The crowds cheered at times and nt
other times only clapped hands. The peo
ple that watched wera sober and serious.
It was a solemn nnd dignified event, not
something to be gay over.
The Emergency Aid Commltteo was repre
sented by Boy Scouts and Campflre Girls,
who carried two forty-foot United States
flags and smaller flags of all the allied
nations.
The Snellehburg Band, playing all sorts
of airs, from "Onward Christian Soldiers"
to "Yankee Doodle," and the Snellenburg
Red Cross Auxiliary of young women made
good showings. The St. Francis do Sales
Boys' Battalion, manly little fellows In uni
form, won great applause.
"Where Do Wo Go From Here?" was the
most popular and most often heard music
during all the march. Tho Foldlers and
soldlers-to-be are making it as popular as
"Tlpperary" was.

POLICE TAKE SPECIAL
CARE OF GREAT CROWDS
Arrangements Make It Possible
for Older Folk to See Patriot
Sons Parade
Many of the older folk among the spec
tators might have been unable. In the
dense crush, to obtain n. glimpse of their
marching sons had It not been for the
splendid police arrangements, which were
the most elaborate, officials say, In tho his
tory of the department, Adopting as n slo
gan, "Give everybody a Chance," they ab
stained from the shoving tactics of former
years and Instead took pains to Insure
that each person in the vaBt crowd should
obtain a view of the parade.
Superintendent Ilobinson took personal
charge of tho parade arrangements, motor
ing about during tha progress of the demon
stration, accompanied by several aids, to
nee that all was going smoothly.
Just before the line began to move Cap
tain Mills sped down Broad street In a
motorcar on a trip of Inspection. It was
during this trip that he voiced the slogan
for tho policemen. When he called out to
the men stationed along the curb, "Give
everybody a chance !" and the hluecoats
saluted and called back, "All right, boss,"
the throngs on the sidewalks burst out with
a great cheer
Throughout the afternoon the police fol
lowed out Captain Mills's Injunction. Fre
quently a bluecoat would step up to a robust
man closo to the ropes and sav: "You don't
mind stepping aside, do you? This lady
would like to see her hoy go by!"
Superintendent Robinson said there were
forty.two lieutenants on parado duty, and
about 1700 patrolmen on foot, thirty on
bicycles nnd twenty-five on horses. Lieu
tenant Buehler was In command of tho
mounted men. It took BOO cops to stretch
rope barriers along both sides of Broad
street from Somerset to Tasker to hold tho
crowds ln check.
Captain Mills and Captain Kenncy were
stationed nt the assembling place 'of the
conscripted men nnd tho Home Defense
units to assist in getting them ln line ex
peditiously. Acting Captain Jolly was in
charge of formation.
The numerous women who fainted at
sight of their sons passing into the grip of
the nation's war machine wero quickly re
vived by the forty-one police surgeons and
twenty-eight civilian physicians on duty
along the line of march. In each of four
teen patrol wagons statlonod at street In
tersections sat two doctors and a nurse,
with restoratives and first-aid kits, ready
to minister bo any victim of emotion or ac
cident. The police of the Tenth nnd Buttonwood
streets station nrrcsted several men for sell
ing boxes for people to stand on. They
were charging twenty-five cents each. To
stop tho practice a ban was put on all boxes
The Baldwin Locomotive Works was
closed down and fully BOO workmen and
their friends occupied tho 200 windows
along Broad street.

Time in the Old 'Town Tonight,"
Scores Biggest
While the martial music In the parade of
the soldier boys aroused the patriotism of
the people It was the popular tunes of

to the highest enthusiasm.
When the bands played "Where Do We

answereo -to france. "Blghto" was echoed
here and there mingling with applause and
prolonged cheers.
Lusty hurrahs greeted .the air "If I Had
a Son for Uvery Star In Old Glory" and
many mothers and fathers whose boys
were among the marchers could not stop n
starting tear.
With all due regard to the latest craze
In tunes It remained for "A Hot Time In the

The Submarine Corporation will lay (ys
for building twenty-eight ships Simula-'
ously and will have facilities nnd ejp.
ment toturn out ono 6000-ton ship try
two days after the first vessel is compfid.
The origin of the plan for construing
fabricated ships was outlined last nlgfby
the National Shipbuilders' Associations a.
statement which said: '
Tho plan wa3 first suggested by Hey
Rutphon, vice president of the Submaie
Corporation, to tho hmergency Fit
Corporation, last April. It called r
utilizing the facilities of structural el
ships that heretofore have been fur i.
ing fabricated steel for bridge-bull c,
structural steel buildings, water ti rs
and other construction.
Owing to tho scarcity of ship sU, n
plates and shapes, on nccount of' fe
, large naval program under way, ani'the
limited rolling capacity of the eel
plants, the ships built of structural te.it
with parts fabricated from standardzed
patterns, thereby utilizing a large amiunt
of labor both ln the shops and ln the Old
not employed In shipbuilding, has made
possible the carrying out of the hugt un
dertaking which the contracts awirded
today call for.
By the standardized methods, and em
ploying this class of material and lalwr
lu the Qovernment-owned yards, steel
tonnage will be obtained on a scale and
In a period which has never before been
contemplated.
