 How many large American flags there are Ma Juneau at this time the preparedness. parade committee does not know. but~it is convinced that there are not half enough. The committee is not particularly con cerned whether the flags are Of SIX or bunting, SO long as they have thir- teen red and white stripes, with stars on blue field in the let hand upper corner.
 Very gratifying to the committee is the warmhearted support which the preparedness parade idea is re- ceiying from the business men. From the present outlook the parade will receive as nearly a unanimous sup port from the merchants as any civ ic scheme has ever received in the capital city of Alaska.

 The Alaska Native Brotherhood and the Juneau City Bremen have applied ! for places in the parade The Alas ka Native Brotherhood is composed of young natives who have been edu- cated in the government schools, many of whom have applied, and all of them intend to apply, to become American citizens Patriotism Co the United States is one of the princi- ples inoculated by the Brotherhood. President Seward Kuntz. in a letter 10 Chairman Jackson. of the Pre- paredness Parade committee. refers to the fact that practically all of the young natives are out in the camps, and that probably only G. few Of them will be in for the Fourth and for this reason the organization can not be so well represented as to num- bers as it would if the demonstra- tion were held in the fall or winter The offer of President Kuntz has been especially welcomed by Chair man Jackson and the Parade com mittee. on account of the unique fea- ture it will add to the parade.
