AGED VETERANS , MARCH IN PARADE Thousands in Regimental For mation Follow Tattered Flags in Kansas City By Associated Press Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 30.—Thou sands of veterans of the Civil War. not a man of them less than sixty-five years old. marched through the streets of Kansas City, in regimental forma- Fon, behind the tattered flags the* had followed as defenders of their country, in the annual parade to-day, of the Grand Army of the Republic. Some of them, the older and mor. feeble leaned on canes or on the shoulders of an atendant khaki-clad Boy Scout. It was with drums beating, bands and life corps playing and faded blue uniforms brushed spick and span, that to-day's march was made. Led by Commander E. H. Monfort and his staff the thousands wound through crowded streets. A public holiday had been proclaimed in Kansas City, in honor of the war heroes and reviewing stands were erected throughout the business district. Emergency hospital units were stationed at numerous cor ners. Pennsylvanians in Van Clear and cool weather made it easy for the veterans to withstand the hardships of the twelve blocks of tramping. They marched by State De partments although regimental for mation was kept as closely as possible. Bands preceded almost every section and there were several fife and drum corps. The Illinois department led by W. F. Calhoun, department commander, held the advance guard honor of the parade, being immediately behind the commander-in-chief and his staff. Following came the Wisconsin, Penn sylvania, Ohio and New York depart ments with the New England States and the remainder of the forty-four divisions bringing up the rear. Several hours were required for the slowly moving parade to pass the official re viewing stand. Indiana, "The Verdun of 1916 Political Campaign/' to Notify Fairbanks By Associated Press Indianapolis.

It is* a lead ing stage property for the tictionist who writes of Egypt, and a favorite haunt and recourse of the Nile touc -Ist. The dahabiyeh is a shallow-draft river boat of a pattern devised by some enterprising naval constructionist four or five thousand years ago. The Phara ohs and Cleopatra used them, and the Egyptian aristocrat uses them to-day— a striking example of the continued popularity of a high grade article. There is, however, apparently little foundation for the report that some of the original craft are still plying the river. A trip up the Nile in a dahabiyeh is a soothing and restful experience, with a quiet and insidious charm peculiarly its own. Every day that you float southward seems to turn back the clock of time by a century. You slip into the past that Egypt has never quite come out of. There is a wide roomy deck on your boat, with cushioned chairs and fans and awnings. They build steam daha biyehs nowadays, but he who charters a craft with such a power plant has respect for the shades of the Pharaohs. The sailing boat floats quiet ly and without noise, as though it moved through som& element smoother and less resistant than water. Now and then it grounds gently on one of the innumerable Nile sandbars, and the dark-skinned crew push and sweat over the poles stoically, with a tuneless song. On such a trip you glimpse the heart of the land, for Kgypt is nothing but a narrow belt of life clinging to Father Nile. The shores slip by like a slow pageant, with their stiff dreamlike out lines of pyramids, ruined temples and sphinxes under a white sun. Now and again you pass a mud village of to day, strangely mean and poor beside the ruined splendor Of the past. The world's greatest changes have played over the land and the people; only the coffee-colored stream that bears you along and gives life to both has never changed.
