Visit

The executive officer of every Allan
tic fleet battleship will be hended the
following communication from the Los
Angeles committee in charge of the
sailors entertainment, when the squad
ron arrives at San Diego today.
The communication is important, for
the granting of its request means that
the school children of Los Angeles will
be permitted to see the great body of
sailors and marines, numbeing over
14,000, in street parade.
The communication is signed by Mot

LOS ANGELES, April 10, 1908.
Executive officer Battleship -, San
Diego, CAL:
my Dear Sir-I beg to hand you
herewith program of entertainment for
the $4,000 enlisted men of Admiral
Evans fleet, which L trust you will
look over carefully and note that we
are endeavoring to give the enlisted
men the best entertainment possible.
Our committee is very much opposed
to any formal parades of the enlisted
men, deeming it necessary that we
should entertain them and not they en-
tertain us. However, Los Angeles is a
city of some 100000 people, and we have
a great many thousand school children
who would like to see the enlisted men,
and If not tresspassing too greatly on
your kindness / would appreciate very
much If, through the proper officers on
your ships, you would advise the en-
listed men that Immediately after the
barbecue in Chutes park if they will
march from Chutes park to Agricul
tural park, where our great wild west
show will be held at 2 p. m. each day,
we will arrange to have thousands of
school children along the streets so that
they can see the brave boys of the
navy.
Bands will be on hand to furnish
music for the men, and we do not desire
a regular parade but simply a forma-
tion of the men for marching from
Chutes park to Agricultural park to
continue the program.
please understand that we do not
desire to interfere with the good times
the men are having, but are very
anxious that our school children have
the opportunity of seeing a large num-
ber of enlisted men in line, If it is pos
sible to do so.
"Anl assistance you can give in this
matter will be greatly appreciated. If
the within suggestions be approved
please advise if it is possible to detail
an officer to take charge of the In
formal parade. Very respectfully,
MOTLEY H. FLINT,
Chairman committee entertain the
14O00 enlisted men OF Auinirdi Evans

"P. S.-Fourteen thousand programs
similar to that inclosed have been
shipped by express to San Diego, di-
vided into sixteen parcels, one for each
battleship. Col. Tom c. Thornton o.
my committee will be in San Diego to
see that these programs are placed on
each battleship. If you can arrange
for the prompt distribution of these
programs to the enlisted men 1t will be
greatly appreciated by the committee,
