Parade This Evening
The first of the weekly battalion
parades Will be made this evening
on the island at 6.45. Because of
the large number of people who have
witnessed the former events on the
island, company commanders ask
spectators to be seated on the grand
stand on the lower end of the island
at $50. 1t is said this will prevent
confusion and interference with the
event. Lieutenant Colonel Frank E.
I'Zeigler will act as reviewing officer.
The Eighth Regiment band who
last evening furnished the music for
the drive for recruits at the army
station will lead the review. After
the evening ceremony the usual con-
cert will be given by the band.

gressor," Bagley.
An effort will he made in this city
to have the military organizations
conduct movement for the erection
OF n monument in the city to com
memorate those who have gone to
war. The principle as expressed by
those agitating the movement being
that while the men are living and
| fighting is the time to erect monu-
ments not years after they have re-
turned.
