| main roadway and branching streets
| and lanes all led to the main entrance
ways to Browkaw Field. as truly as
ever all roads led to Rome From curb

To modern wire fence, the ways were
packed with a od-natured, jostling

neighbors, and now and then sending
| up cheer for the boys whose colors
they wore.

matter of fact. nobody appeared to
care for this, for the masses and the
classes had come to see the struggle
between the mighty arms of war and
of peace that extend throughout the
world, preserving the honor and Dig
nifty of the nation. 1t was wonder

on the field. and were hailed by their
