Only that country is really great

is that inner consciousness which eX-

there is no greater stress for a na-

ENTIRE COMMUNITY JOINS IN
GRAND PATRIOTIC DEMONSTRATION
Flag Presented by People of Eko to Company Raised With
Fitting Ceremony; Patriotic Speeches Made by Citizens
and Soldiers; Citizens Join In Singing National An
thems; Grand Street Pageantry

Never in the history OF Elko nor
perhaps in the State of Nevada was
there such a splendid and impressive
patriotic demonstration as was held in
Elko today. The entire community
and hundreds from the outside par
ticipated, and the event will never be
forgotten. Fifty years hence little
children of today will tell their chill
dren's children of Elko's Loyalty Day,
and their bosoms will swell with pa
triotic pride when they recall the pa
triotic scenes and utterances that they
this day Witnessed and heard II was
all very beautiful. for II impressed on
the mind the sacred truth that all of
the people of this great country of
ours. those whose hair has been
kissed with snowy whiteness, those
who live in the morning OF youth,
those blessed with gold and lands, and
those who walk the humber walks of
life. all are willing TO give their all
and all for the preservation of human
rights and liberty.
The program started with the rails
ing of the flag presented to Company
II, 5th California Volunteers. by the
people of Elko. After Assembly" had
been sounded and the soldiers, cadets
and red cross girls had fallen in,"
the assembled hosts sang America"
Hon. Z. J. l.. Taber then made a short
address Of welcome, after which Pro
fessor George C. Jensen delivered an
address on THE Spirit of Lincoln"
In this address many beautiful senti-
ments were expressed. For the bene-
fit of those who did not hear it we are
reproducing It in full elsewhere in this
issue. Then came the presentation OF
the flag by Judge Taber to Captain
A. II. Morris. The Judge made a
splendid presentation speech and the
captain made an appropriate reply.
While the bugle sounded the flag was

raised, and then a salute was fired by
a squad. The Star Spangled Banner"
was. then sung by Mrs. ]. II. Keyser
and a male chorus.
The prettiest feature OF this morn
ing's program was the red cross girls
of the Elko High school. They were
tifty in number and all dressed in uni
forms, presented pretty picture. The
High School Cadets. forty-eight in
number. also in uniforms. looked very
nifty.
One OF the participants in this
mornings demonstration was Mr..
James Russell. one of the few sur
viying members of the Grand Army of
the Republic, that glorious band,
whose membership is now depleated
to a feeble few with faltering step
and silver hair. Mr.. Russell, who
served four years in the Civil war, is
one of the oldest residents of Nevada.
The twenty-ninth of this month he
will pass his eighty.eighth milestone.
The parade this afternoon was per.
fectly splendid. II was made up as
follows:
Children's Pageant in the follow
ing order. Miss Newman on pony,
living flag of 100 school children, au-
toes loaded with babies. floats.

The Spirit Of Abraham Lincoln
We are not met today for the cele-
bration OF gala festival; but upon
the most solemn and serious occasion

still keenly alive in American hearts.
Today we are at war; subjected to
the supreme test OF human kind. We
do not yet fully realize that the test

counter attacks throughout the night

All through the brilliant moonlight
night and again today the British SOL

tenaciously holding to the positions

counter attacks of the foe.
In some places the fighting has
ebbed and flowed as in old days on
the Somme and in Champagne, when
the casualties inflicted on the enemy
we're regarded as more important than
specific gains OF ground.
The present fighting is more in.

battle front shows that the Hinden.
