with prompt action on the part OF
the soldiers.
NO JEERS ALLOWED.
A group of young fellows shouted
something about the little tin SOL
diers" and were also pressed into the
line of march towards the police sta
ton. No attempt was made tc close
the theatres and other places of
amusement, but the business was
uniformly light, partly because Of the
general impression that these places
would not be open and partly because
of the fact that the greater part of
the citizens remained quietly in their
homes. After 1920 the militiamen
travelled in pairs and several shady
looking characters hanging around
the outside of the saloons who
could not give sufficient evidence
that they were possessed of bona
fide vocation were promptly locked
up.
The soldiers were massed around
the police station and extra men put
on to patrol that particular neighbor-
hood. No one was allowed to loiter
for a single minute. By II o'clock
aside from few belated citizens, the
streets were practically deserted.
