PATRIOTIC PARADE.
The Largest Parade Ever Seen IN
Wauwatosa Was the One Held
Last Friday Afternoon.

The largest parade ever held in the
CITY of Wauwatosa was the one gotten
I'D and managed by the women of
Wauwatosa last Friday afternoon
The procession formed at the Wauwa-
tosa High School and was led by Chief
of Police Battles and his two assist.
ants.
The Cutler-Hammer Fife ana Drum
Corps was present and busy, their
services being donated for the occa.
sion (hurrah). The Oscar bunker
brass band was also in line, efficiently
rendering very appropriate music,
which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
both in line of march and among the
bystanders. Seventy ladies marched
also several of our Wauwatosa influen-
tial business men. There were thirty.
five automobiles filled with women
(thirty of them driven by woman) in
the line of march and the school chill.
dren, accompanied by their teachers,
certainly made pretty sight. There
were over 900 children in line, and the
way in which order was maintained
among these children was d matter of
favorable comment. Every individual
marching carried a flag and every au
tomobile was prettily decorated with
| the colors.
The column marched down Wauwa
| tosa Avenue to North Main Street and
| then to State Street and down State
and around the loop up to the Public
Library and back to the school
grounds, where they disbanded. !, If
any one thinks Wauwatosa is not a
loyal city they should have seen this
procession. 1t was the forerunner of
the big Loyalty Legion meeting which
was held in the assembly room of the
High School, which meeting was large
| ly attended.
Addresses were made by Mr.. Leon
b. Lamfrom of Milwaukee and Chas.
B. Perry of our own city. Mr.. Lam
from in no uncertain terms, denounced
the despicable and atrocious methods
being used by the German government
in the war and spoke in the highest
terms of President Wilson at the
head of our national government, and
the stand taken in the questions now
before the whole world. I'VE have al
the helm of this great nation a really
great man." was one of Mr.. Lamfrom's
statements and many others equally as
strong and true might be quoted. In
speaking of the Liberty Bonds now be-
ing issued in response to the second
call, he brought out the point very de-
| cidedly that it is not only our duty but
it should certainly be pleasure to
each citizen to respond freely to this
appeal from the government for addi-
| tional funds to finance the war; each
| individual should feel proud to think
the government is willing to take his
money and offer to pay interest on 1t
| instead of simply demanding the
| amount needed.
| Mr.. Perry spoke in very pleasing
and forceful manner of the bonds for
the second Liberty Loan, and fully ex-
planned the various phases and urged
all present to subscribe promptly and
as freely as possible to these bonds,
Mr.. Perry in closing read the names
of all the young men who have enlist
ed, and been called to service from our
midst in number prolonged applause.)
Before the meeting closed, motion
was made and unanimously carried,
authorizing the Secretary of the 10y
atty Legion to send to each one of the
camps where Wauwatosa boys are To-
Gated the good cheer of the Wauwatosa
Loyalty Legion.
