Carl f. Kuelanle was then called up
on for an address and he explained to
the people that this was not war
against the German people but against
Kaiserism and military cast and that
the war would be fought until the

United States of Germany. In his re-
marks he paid his respects to the
Kaiser and his military leaders whom
he blamed entirely for bringing OH

" The Trip to Ida Grove.
At the conclusion of the program at
schleswig, the cars started out on
the last lap of the trip to Ida Grove
and it was a wonderful sight 70 see
the long line Of machines winding
along over the hills north OF Schles-
wig. Not an. accident happened along
the road to mar tie trip and the head
| of the procession pulled into Ida
Grove in about forty minutes. "a
Cold Reception at Ida Grove. p
Evidently nc preparation had been
made by the citizens of lda Grove to
receive the Denison crowd aor no
band was in evidence nor was there
any one to escort the cars into town.
| The procession was halted5two blocks
from the armory where the soldier
boys formed in line, two abreast and
the procession moved down past the
| armory and through the business sec
ton of the city headed by the band.
We doubt whether or not Ida Grove
over saw such a demonstration as
was put on there by the people OF
Denison and Schleswis and we ven.
ture to say the next time they will
make some effort to do their part.
The Denison boys swinging down the
street to the music Of the band
brought cheers from the citizens OF
Ida Grove, who happened to be on the
| streets. ..-
After the parade the cars were park
ed about Me armory and the boys
gave an exhibition drill Capt. Lind
sey. OF Co. B., was on hand and eX-
pressed himself as more than pleased
with the. showing made by the Deni'
son RECRUITS. Capt. Lindsey stated
that sthe DeNson boys made much
better showing than did sthe boys a
Ida Grove. { ~ I III y
Program Carried Out
Mr.. Rohwer, prominent Ida Grove
merchant, and a brother Of Thee. Rob
wer, of Schleswig, welcomed the re-
cruits and visitors to Ida Grove. He
stated that had the people of Ida
Grove, but known of the preparations
made by Denison to escort their boys
there they would have had fitting
welcome for them.
Mr.. RohWer then introduced Mr..
WEIGH, who stated that Denison had
delivered to Ida Grove it's forty-eight
recruits to Company B safely and
now the people OF Denison would look
to Ida Grove to see that they were
we'll cared for He believed that the
people of Ida Grove realized the re-
spcnsibiity placed upon them and
would do everything for their comfort
and welfare possible.
Senator G. l.. Caswell then made a
few brief remarks in which he crit
icised Ida Grove for its lack of cntlu-
siasm. He intimated that Denison
would again visit Ida Grove before the
company was called to service and
that they could expect pilgrimage
even larger than that of Sunday. MI
Caswell said he was proud OF the
showing made by Denison and he was
glad that they had furnished about
one-third of the Ida Grove company.
When he visited the border last fall,
he said Company B had the reputa.
ton of being the crack Iowa company
and that Iowa had the reputation OF
having the best trained and cleanest
lot of men on the border.
Recruits Check In
While the speeches were being
made the Den;son recruits checked in
at the armory and were given their
supplies. Each boy was given an
army cot and kitchen utensils, con-
sisting of frying pan, plate cup and
knives and fork. Army cots were
furnished each and they were given
the privilege of either sleeping in the
armory or in tents just across the
