Many Believe Parade Tuesday American legion Mill Never Be Seen Again
CHICAGO, Oct. 3, (UP) — The power and the glory that was America’s greatest battle legion lived again
today.
One hundred and fifty thousand men of the millions who rallied to the nation’s colors in ’17 rallied once more under the blue and gold banner of the American Legion. These were the men from the cornfields of Iowa and the skyscraper offices of New York who fought as comrades in French trenches. These were the men who came back. Today they marched with blaring hands and trumpeting bugles down the broad pavement of Michigan boulevard, past the bannered buildings and into the concrete amphitheater that is Soldier Field. With the 150,000 men marched another legion—a legion that never came back. In the measured tramp of thou-

Mrs. Hanna is w’ell known in this city, being a sister of the late Jesse Weik and Mrs. Frank Hays. She formerly lived where the postoffice now' stands and later the Hanna home was located on the site of the De-
Pauw gymnasium.

foreign lands, one resting under a simple block of stone in Washington that bears no name but is a monument to them all. Once a year the legion marches in memory of the day it served Amer-
ica.
Today the march was the greatest the one-time men of war had ever
made.
Many believe such a parade would never be seen again, for the mark of age lies on the Iqgion that was the flower of America’s youth in ’17. Five hundred bands, drum corps, bugle corps ami fife corps beat a crescendo of martial music for feet whose rhythm was not as perfect as it once had been. It was no monotone of olive drab, burnished gun stocks and gleaming rifle barrels, but uniforms of scarlet and cream with silver helmet-, or sleep trap-
pings of powder blur.
The scene attracted Chicago’s mil-
lions and thousands from over the country who came to see- dad or husband march again. At dawn the legion was assembling. It would be dusk before the last man marched in salute around the amphitheater dedi-
cated to his fallen comrades. Great mile areas were blocked off.
Chicago's boulevard lakefront. gem of civic possession, belonged t*> the veterans. Half the city’s police force was detailed to handle throngs such as never had assembled here l>efore.
Parade melted into parade as the
legionnaires celebrated. A few hours before they had turned the boulevard
