OPERA HOUSE CROWDED TO
CAPACITY FOR THE BIG MASS
MEETING LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
DISTINGUISHED SPEAKERS
Held Close Attention of Great Audi
ence While Patriotic Selections by
Band and Vocalists Inspired the
Hearts of Every One.

The Patriotic Mass Meeting at the
Opera House last Friday night was
all and more than had been anticipat-
ed. The building was packed to the
limit, and the patriotic addresses and
enthusiasm manifested was enough to
inspire the most ardent Pacifist in
the land
Before the meeting the Paw Paw
Volunteer company headed by the
band with the G.. A. r. in the position
of honor in the line, marched through
the streets and then to the Opera
House. The G.. A. r. were seated on
the stage while the center section was
reserved for the company. The Opera
House was beautifully decorated with
American flags, while at the back of
the stage hung the presidents picture,
with the inscription, "Stand by the
President" /" The High School band
played the patriotic airs while Old
Glory was thrown on the screen. The
audience then rose and sang America
with John Haworth as leader and Mrs.
w. r. Sellick at the piano.
Mayor Glenn Warner officiated as
chairman of the evening, and in few
well chosen words introduced the first
speaker Colonel f. NJ. Irish, who was
followed by Hon. Dallas Boudeman
both of Kalamazoo. Both addresses
We're listened to with intense interest,
and they were frequently interrupted
by applause. Messrs Blaine Warner,
Robert Dillon and John Haworth then
sang "My boy will be a soldier when
he's needed" The words and music
of this song were written by Mr..
Boudeman, speaker of the evening.
The closing address was made
by our own Olivia J. C. Woodman,
and with all due respect and Difference
to our distinguished guests, her ad-
dress was the crowning feature Of the
great meeting. She dealt with
"Woman in the War" and paid glow
ing tribute to the many valorous
deeds of members of her sex through
out the years that have passed and
gone. The sentiment conveyed
throughout her address was "That
while woman had hoped and prayed
thatsthe United States might be kept
out of this dreadful conflict; yet if
war must come to maintain the honor
dignity and liberty which is our
heritage, woman's heart will beat as
true and loyal; she will make just as
many sacrifices, and do her duty what
ever it may be just as faithfully as
man."
The audience sang the Battle Hymn
of the Republic, and the Star Spang-
led Banner, and the great meeting
was closed and everyone in the audi
ence taking the following pledge to
the Flag.
81 Pledge Allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Country for which it stands
! pledge my head, my heart, to God
and my Country. One Country, one
language and one Flag"

PLENTY OF ROOM YET AT
MILITARY TRAINING CAM

1t has been rumored that many
more applications have been received
at the Military Training camp at Fort
Sheridan than were wanted. This is
not true according to advices received
by Frank Miller, chairman of the
local committee. There is yet room
for many more and those who would
like the training with view of re-
ceiving officers commissions are urged
to send in their applications. The
headquarters are urging older men to
apply for admission. Men are wanted
up to forty-four years of age. Mr..
Miller is also advised that the Army
Appropriation bill provides all expen-
ses and $4,000 per month for officers
training camp students, and full pay
according to rank for all those
recommended for officers commissions.
