granted, only such men as were fully
equipped with the khaki uniforms being
allowed to participate however. Over
5000 took part in the parade and review
and the boys were cheered to the echo

did make a fine showing for the short

alcohol lamp to sterilize it, squirted a
tiny spray to open the tip, stuck it into
the arm sideways about ID inch, 1-8
inch deep apparently and squeezed out
about 3-8 inch of colorless fluid.
The prick was hardly perceptible, as
was the force of the fluid. It smarted
about half minute. The heat weakened
many of the boys but none we're seriously

slightly disconnected. A heavy rain
storm came up about mid night and the
boys with their stiff arms had a hard
time keeping things shipshape. Nurse

of the evening and later on with dry
overcoats. The boys were all feeling
