 It was decided today to parade all the available companies of the First through the principal streets of the city this evening, starting at ' o'clock. It's object will be to promote enthus- iasm and encourage enlistment. A part of the First Ambulance company marched the streets today carrying a large banner on which was the in scription: we want more men. Rally to the flag, boys"

A fine, soldierly command, we'll mounted, well trained, prepared for the field from saddle bags to curry combs and from rifles and sabres to colt automatics, was applauded everywhere along it's line of march.
 When the troop left the armory there were hundreds of men, women and children, including relatives and friends of the troopers, to bid them good bye and good luck. Many auto mobiles followed them along the whole line of march, and few of them went beyond the outskirts of the city. AS they passed the municipal building, Mayor Hagarty, several members of he board of aldermen and other mem oers of city boards reviewed the troop Each side of Main street was dense- y crowded.
