CITY BACK TO NORMAL STRIDE [Continued from First Fagc.l order of events It was through fault of the mind and not of the heart on the part of those whose task, self-appointed and altogether one of affection, it was to carry out the order of the day and evening. The day was crowded with in teresting events, the parade, the baseball game, the banquet in the river front park, dancing, fireworks and the theaters for those who wanted to sit down qnietly and re joice in the company of those tor whom the program had been ar ranged. The crowds were every where. chiefly in the places or amusement when the formal wel come celebration had come to its conclusion. Flier Thrills Crowds Not the least interesting feature of the day was the airplane flying of a single aviator, who performed hair-raising stunts all over the city and the loud whirring of whose motor could be heard with startling distinctness in nearly every home. This blrdman gave his exhibitions between four and five o'clock. At times he flew so low as to send a thrill up and down the spines of the thousands who watched him and who frequently wondered whether his daring was prompted by the im liPl 8 'gii! llppi y!

I | j TUESDAY EVENING, portance of the occasion or whether his stunts were feats of skill that had, by reason of long practice, become easy of performance. The number on his plane was 36. It could easily be seen from the streets, more easily some times than others, especially when he darted close to earth. Thousands Enjoy Chicken Banquet on River Front Senfad at long rows of tables stretched in the River Park from Locust street 'north to the Civic Club, thousands of Harrisburg sol diers, sailors and marines, enjoyed a big banquet last evening, given to them as guests of the city during their welcome home. After a parade in the afternoon and a 12-inning ball game on the Island those boys certainly were hungry. It didn't take them long to take their places at the tables. Then the banquet started. Ten double ' Army kitchens were scattered along the curb in the park and about 400 volunteers kept the boys busy with the plates of chicken and other good things to eat which they serv ed. No Standing In Line There was no standing in line with a mess kit, no calls to the K. P. to "get a move on." No indeed, this was a banquet with each and every soldier and sailor comfortably seat ed and being served. "It sure is good to have it brought to you," one remarked. "About all I can remember of the Army is the K. P. service I had for weeks." Big halves of fried chicken ap pealed to the men most. When the main course was served the talking almost stopped except now and then when the boys joked about the meals they got in the Army with "slum" at the head of the menu most of the time. Women Volunteer Waiters V. Grant Forrer, who had charge of securing the tables and arranging ! them, divided them into ten sections I with a big kitchen for each unit, i At each of these from thirty to forty j women volunteered as waiters, ■ whole scores of others served cake : and ice cream. | Boy Scouts numbering more than ! 260 were on duty and aided in keep ling order and carrying messages to ! various persons In charge. While j the soldiers were banqueting many | thousands of relatives and friends I crowded along the edge of the park • just to see how the "big' army" : would be served. I Enough For All I Mothers, wives, sisters and sweet . hearts acted as waitresses and there . was so much to get that finally even | the coaxing of those who were serv ing brought the answers "Couldn't ] eat any more if I wanted to. It | certainly was fine." j From colonels to privates the . same expression was heard many times during the evening. Every | thing that could be furnished to tempt the appetite was on the tables. Fruits of all kinds, cigarets, soft drinks, cpffee, cantaloupes, the chicken course, ice cream bricks and cakes "Three stories high" were some of the things to be enjoyed. The variety of cakes showed that many fond mothers, wives and sweethearts had been busy for there was na end to the assortment. Plenty of Music Four bands, the Municipal, Com monwealth, Moose and Eighth Regi ment, furnished plenty of music, giving programs of popular song melodies and lively band nnmbers. Mrs. Florence Ackley Ley with a flying chorus of women, sang for the boys and one of their numbers that just fit the occasion as one of the men remarked was "A Perfect Day." Entertainers who are appearing at the Majestic also sang for the sol diers. A more picturesque scene could not be imagined than the one pre sented in the park. Under scores of tall maples were stretched the tables, covered with snowy white cloths over which had been laid fern and fruits. Seated here were the thou sands of boys in khaki, with an oc casional navy blue uniform showing that Harrisburg had men in that service also. Lights After Sunset Women, most of them in white, and Boy Scouts in khaki, moved about, and out over the rippling Susquehanna the sun went down, sending a dull red glow across the water and the park. After the sun set hundreds of electric lights stretched along the park for the occasion, were turned on. One Thought Tppcrmoxt From the time the parade began to form until the last inning of the game on the Island, the uppermost thought in the minds of every unl- TEIEGRXP3 i formed boy was the chow line to be formed at 6 o'clock. Long before the appointed hour the crowd began to gather, leaning against the ropies and gazing hopefully at the groan ing tables. "When Do We Eat" From Many Throats The old-time cry, "When do we eat?" arose with Increasing fre quency until at 6 o'clock the party began. Soldiers who started from the bridge and tried to get a place near the Walnut street part of the feast found themselves out of luck, foi by the time the. baseball crowd arrived the best places had been usurped by men with greater appe tites and less baseball enthusiasm. The best thing about the whole performance was the service ren dered by the women and girls of the National War Aid. The banquet could not have been more efficiently served if a corps of waiters long trained in the gentle art had been used. And it's a good bet that if that corps had been used instead of the feminine contingent, the dough boys wouldn't have enjoyed their food half so well. In fact, many of them had a bad time trying to eat and keep their eyes on the waitresses at the same time. The 15,000 chickens, 500 home made cakes, and all the rest of the good things that made up the feed, disap peared like a bugler after reveille. With the finish of the food, the old timers lighted up the cigarets placed at their elbows, and were all set for the evening. Parade Wim Notable The parade itself was a long-to remembered sight. Long lines of khaki and blue, broken here and there by the brilliant uniforms of bands or the darker colors of war workers, marched by while Harris burg stood on the side lines and ap plauded. The veterans went by with their heads, up, march'ing with the fast marching step which is used in all reviews. The veterans of the Civil War preceded the veterans of the World War and received cheer after cheer as the automobiles ill which they were riding passed along the line of march. The Veterans of For eign Wars likewise had a contingent in line. Welfare Workers Busy The welfare workers had a busy time yesterday and certainly proved their worth to the boys. The Y. M. C. A. was busy all day with its group of secretaries, going from one place to another where the boys were con gregated and serving them with cig arettes, chocolate bars, and all man ner of gifts. At the parade, the ball game, after the banquet, and late in the evening, untiring secretaries worked to make the clay a complete success. Ten thousand packages of Triangle Mints were distributed. The Knights of Columbus secre taries were likewise putting out a good deal of work to make things pleasant for our soldiers. In addition to the canteen service the K. of C. had ten secretaries in line, two of them having seen service overseas. They used many cars to take wound ed soldiers from the Carlisle Hospit al 'to the ball game. Comrades Meet Again One feature of the parading yester day was the greeting of comrades In arms who had not seen each oth er since they went away two years ago. This happened in a number of cases, particularly of the later drafts as many of these were used as re placements for divisions which came from all parts of the country. It was unfortunate the crowd was not handled more efficiently by the police, as the linal act of the parade was to have oeeii to inarch under the victory arch erected for that purpose. On account of the huge crowd which surged forward and made it impossible for the marchers to countermarch in the Square and pass through the arch, this part of the program had to be abandoned. Lead Old Companies Several commanders led the same companies yesterday which they headed in the battle line. Captain Robert A. Jenkins and Lieutenant Charles W. Thomas led Company I 01 the One Hundred and Twelfth, and Company D had its leaders, Captain John Bretz, and Lieutenant Rippey T. Shearer. The Jewish welfare workers had a big hand in making vhe day a big success. Many workers were through the crowds handing out picture post cards which contained plntographs of the army transports which were only too familiar to many an eye. Rabbi Louis J. Haas was their rep resentative in the parade yesterday. The planes which stunted over the city held several members dt the Carlisle Hospital staff. Dr. J. H. Kreider, formerly of Harrisburg, was taken up by the pilots from Middle town, as were also Miss Rose and Miss Kinney, nurses at the Carlisle institution. All of them declared they had never seen such a beautiful sight as Harrisburg presented from the air. Evening Span of Joy The evening was just one grand span of joy for the many soldiers and sailors who made the most of the dancing at Winterdale and the' Chestnut Street Hall. Orchestras at both places were playing the latest ] tunes, and playing them with the greatest amount of "pep", so that it is not to be wondered that the gobs and leathernecks, to say nothing of the doughboys, had a large evening. The Rfd Cross canteen service put out the best effort of the day, too, when they distributed gallon after gallon of cider and doughnuts, cakes, pretzels and apples to .the dancers. The number of barrels consumed has not yet been tabulated. Division Insignia . y Seen Everywhere Insignia of but few American divisions of the past war, were miss ing yesterday in the big procession of former service men as they proud ly swung over city streets before the eyes of admiring Harrisburg. The red keystone of the Twenty eighth and the Lorraine Cross of the Seventy-ninth divisions predomin ated, but the representation of other divisions was large. Practically every American division had a representa tive in line. Insignia of foreign divisions were included, a number of men having been attached to for eign divisions during their overseas service and by reason of this fact be ing entitled to wear the unit's in signia. f Not a branch of the service was unrepresented and not an Army rank from that of colonel down failed to have a representative in the big procession while both com missioned and noncommissioned men of "the Navy and Marine Corps were included. Three thousand persons, veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World Wars, were in the line of march, with the veterans of the past war, quite forming the bulk. The representation of all former service men, however ranked high in the percentage scale. There were few city men who were not in line. Thousands as Witnesses Thousands of persons thronged the sidewalks and portions of the streets all along the route of parade, balconies, windows and roofs were thronged to capuclty long before the procession moved off. So eager did the city people and their guests become to witness the march of the soldier brave that they jammed the streets to such a degree that the parade was delayed consid erably in moving off and in proceed ing along its scheduled route. In Market Square the throng became so thick that the marchers were un able to proceed until the crowd was cleared away by city police, and men from the Harrisburg Recruiting Sta tion, riding in motorcycles and au tomobiles. All along the way dif ficulty was experienced in keeping the throngs at a satisfactory distance for the marchers to pass. Cheers Greet Marchers All Along Parade Route Cheer after cheer burst from the prqud crowd as it witnessed its sons who went out to fight and its daugh ters who went out to save, some two and one-half years ago, some two years ago and some lesser lengths of time, swinging down the street. Captain Joseph Thompson, direct ing a platoon of police, lead off the procession, followed by the famous [Spring Garden Band, of York. Then came George W. Uhoads. depart- I ment commander of the G. A. R., who served as chief marshal, to gether with Captain Francis H. Hoy, Jr., his chief of staff. The aids, Captain George C. Jack, Captain A. M. Porter, Captain E. I Laubenstein, Captain Walter K. i Thrush and Lieutenant Samuel Fit- I ting, serving as aids, followed. ! Then came divisional marshal ! Harry S. Watson and his aids, Michael Floyd,• Francis H. Hoy, Sr., Joseph Runkle and James Auter. G. A. It. Men In Procession ' G. A. R. men, almost 200 of them, riding in 33 automobiles in double column, lead off the division. Each one of the three city posts and sev eral out of town posts had repre sentations riding in the automobile. A. burst of applause greeted these Veteran wearers of the blue as their thinned ranks passed by. The Moose Band followed in the wake of the Civil War survivors and were followed by delegation from Captain Howard L. Calder Post, No. 21, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and of Harrisburg Camp, No. 8. United Spanish-American War Veterans. Company I, Pennsylvania Reserve Militia, and the Pennsylvania Re serve Militia Truck Company and motor trucks of the unit, brought up the rear of the division. Interest In Second Division It was in the second division that most of Harrisburg's interest center ed, for it was in it that were found j the greater number of the city's! veterans of the country's most re- J cent war. Colonel Frederick M. | Ott, former prominent Pennsylvania | National Guardsman, acting as divi- | sional marshal, led off. followed by j his aids, Captain Paul W. Harm. Captain Ross A. Hickok, Lieutenant j David McConnell. Harry E. Earp! and Howard Myers. Old Rand in Lino The old Eighth Regiment Band of j Pennsylvania National Guard, which j became the Sixtieth Pioneer Infan- j try Band following the reorganiza- 1 tion of the Pennsylvania National | Guard, as which it was preparing to go overseas when the armistice! was signed, led off the division. | Colors of the allied nations, each j borne by an overseas veteran of i either the Twenty-eighth or Seven- 1 ty-ninth division, appeared in the I rear of the old Eighth Band. Overseas Nurses Cheered Overseas nurses, more than a l score In number, each attired in a j natty uniform drew thunderous! rounds of applause as they passed j by. Workers of the V. W. O. A., > Y. M.

A big delegation of Keystone Division men followed, after which came the Liberty Band, of Middle town. Officers and service men fell in behind this band. Following came the colored veterans, many of whom saw service overseas with the vari ous units of the Buffalo (92nd) Division. Then came the Municipal Band after which marched service men, marines, a big contingent of "gobs" and a single yeawoman. Other dele gations of service men were inter spersed throughout the remainder of the division and some few Har risburg service men, as yet unable to be about by themselves because of injuries suffered on foreign soil, were carried in automobiles.
