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.

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH
THE DAHABIYEH
s
The dahabiyeh is one of the leading
Egyptian institutions and one of the
most prominent features of the scen
ery along the river Nile. 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.
