Panama and Cuba responded nobly.
| Wednesday, by national and state proc

as Liberty day. Great parades were
| held in every city and smaller ones in
| every town and village, and in the
army training camps the boys carried
out special programs and handed in

In some places the people dealt in

ing was done to Mayor Bill Thompson
| OF Chicago, who took no part what
