street floor. Peoples National Bank EL, PASO. Sept. 21. Soldiers of" the Union from the North, South, East and Weat marched aide by side here today In the greatest military review since the Federal army tramped down Pennsylvania avenue in "Washington at the close of the Civil war.

Nearly 30 000 National Guardsmen from seven states and five regriment of regulars swept through tha streets for eight hours. The line of march was more than 20 miles long. Forty military bands and a score of drum corps played rattling quicksteps as the long lines of dusty, khaki-clad soldiers rolled by in a seemingly never-ending stream. Tens of thousands of spectators cheered them impartially as they played "Yankee Doodle" and "Dixie." Veterans of the sixties. Northerner and Southerner alike, watched the brown ranks with glistening Long before daylight immense squadrons were moving to the stations assigned them in the line of march.

Sdme troops had to march 12 miles before getting to their places. At 8 o'clock the general marching order passed down the line. LINE STRETCHES MILES. For miles and miles along the cactus plains east of the city stretched the troops of artillery, cavalry, infantry and all the other units that compose the American fighting machine as it stands today. Full field equipment was worn.

The rhythmic tread of the tramping feet could be heard echoning dully through the streets Jong before the head columns of the marching troops hove into view. Tanned by the months of border service, and looking fit for any task, came the National Guardsmen raw boned, husky farm lads from the Middle West, followed by their leaner brothers from the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee. Hundreds of flags and thousands of children flung a colorful welcome to the marching men. An old- gray-haired woman, standing near the reviewing stand shouted, loud enough for the officers to "God bless 'em! My husband fell at Gettysburg, and I had a boy with the Rough Riders." Even the faces of the stern officers relaxed at her outburst, and they smiled. INFANTRY HOURS PASSING.

It was hours before the infantry regi ments passed. Then came the artillery, rumbling by. and following that the cavalry, a mats of tossing heads and glistening equipment. Major General Charles M. Clement of Pennsylvania, the reviewing officer at Fort Bliss, and General Bell, commander of the Eleventh Division, looked wrth pride on the troops.

"Nobody can say those boys are not fit for service when called on." exclaimed General Clement. Mexican army officers from Juarez gazed with wondering eyes on the brown columns swinging by like smoothly running machinery. Now and then there were nudges and nods. At noon, the troops halted for lunch. Many of them had been marching since dawn and all carried their rations with them.

Nearly all of the Pennsylvania guardsmen at Camp Stewart went to Fort Bliss to watch the review, given for General Charles M. Clement, commander of the Pennsylvania guardsmen, by General George Bell, commander of the forces In the El Paso district. There were in line 25.142 men, "99 officers and 8,000 horses. There were 18,449 infantrymen in line. The line was 22 miles long and in order to fill out a full brigade of artillery.

Batteries and of the First Pennsylvania Artillery were detailed by General Clement to take part in the march. KEYSTONE MEN IN REGIMENT. The Pennsylvania division also furnished a regiment of infantry at war strength, organizations from all of the regiments being selected. Next week. General Clement will give a review of the Pennsylvania division for General Bell.

Now that the Pennsylvania guardsmen are scheduled, for an early return to Pennsylvania, General Clement has been required to change his program of training. The division maneuvers probably will be held next week, and instead cf the division taking a 12-days' march across the plains, a five-days' march will be taken. The war department was anxious to put the Pennsylvania division to the test of a 250-mile march, but since so many of the Pennsylvania officers and guardsmen are anxious to return to their homes and have used their influence In Pennsylvania and Washington to effect an early return, the War department was compelled to abandon that feature of the training. It would have been the greatest test ever given a division of national guardsmen, and it was the desire of the war department that th Pennsylvania division make it. as the men.

are in excellent physical condition. Just as soon as the guardsmen from other states on the border are physically fit, a provisional division will be organized to make the march. M0SELEY DISAPPOINTED. Colonel George Van Horn Moseley, chief of staff of the Pennsylvania division, who directed the training of the. Keystone state boys, is greatly disappointed over the Pennsylvania division losing this opportunity.

The First Artillery, under command of Colonel Wilqliam S. McKee of Pittsburgh, made an extllent showing yesterday in the review along with the Fifth and Eighth United States Artillery regiments at Fort Bliss. The Pennsjlvania artillery regiment differed very little in appearance from the regular "army artillerymen.

Solon Stevens of Boston, for many-years organist of the supreme council, who was unable to be present on account of his advanced age, was unanimously elected grand organist emeritus. Two honorary members of the council were crowned, with the full ceremonial, active members ad vitam.

Anderson says: "Your son died for his country. He is as great, a hero as any American who has succumbed to the bullets of a foreign foe. While he did not die in battle, he sacrificed family ties, home and business connections and all that is near and dear to a young man, to go to the front, and. if necessary, sacrifice his life, also in defense of those rights for which his country stands. Even in the hour of grief therefore you can find some relief in the thought that he was a martyr to the highest duty which an American citizen can have.

The city he Was born and reared is proud thnt it produces such men as Christopher Masree Anderson, and in the name ot this city and its hundreds of thousands of patriotic citizens, I offer to you most heartfelt and sincere sympathy."
