and review of a parade, he will board hla train in the evening for the return trip over the same route to Washing¬ ton, landing here Thursday.
Mrs. Coolidge will accompany him nnd his party will Include Everett Sanders, secretary to the President; | Major Oenenil Le.Ieune, commandant I of the Marino Corps; Mrs. James A. Drain, wife of the Licgion Commander, Col. S. A. Cheney, military aide. Cap¬ tain Adolphus Andrew.s. naval aide. Major James C. Conpal, the President's physician, besides the usual corpa of secret service men, newspapermen, photographers and messengers.
With military and naval affairs oc¬ cupying much of the r*reaidcnt atten¬ tion In recent monlhs, it is presumed that tbe President will tako the oiipor- I tunity afforded by tho a.s.sembiy of world war veterans to air his views on some of the topics that have been I current.
Sees Polilical l':iT«'ct The President hus chosen the more southerly roule to Omaha to seo a section of Iho cotintry less familiar to him than the route to Chicago whicii he has traveled twice in each direc¬ tion since he became President and moreover to give the people of that section who live along his itinerary a chance to see hirn. ,
Mr. Coolidge is not unmindful of the ] curiosity of thc average American to see the chief executive and be gratllles It whenever possible. It Is wholly probable th.at he will spend much of his time on the observation plalform of his train. In full view, weather per¬ mitting.
