Men who have travelled extensively, whose mem ories record many outbursts of pa triotism, doubt there has ever been witnessed anywhere such spontaneous display of popular desire for sacri- flee in the name of humanity as the people of Pine Bluff are displaying this week. Tonight's parade will simply emphasize this attitude; this willingness to serve Aod thru ser vice to man.
