signifed by the red and white hat
cords.
The colors of the 10th Regiment
of engineers were saluted by the Of
ficers on the reviewing stand. Civilians
on the stand remained standing while
the colors passed
Behind the engineers was the 10th
Field Battalion Signal corps. Then
came the 164th regiment of infantry,
led by the infantry band. This was
followed by the 163rd, lend and
161st regiments of infantry, each led
Dy their respective bands, and the
colors. Then came the provisional
machine gun regiment. Infantry is
distinguished by the blue hat cord.
The 146th, 147th, and 148th regi-
ments of field artillery were next in
line. Gun caissons and guns were in
the line of march with the artillery
men. The field artillery branch Of
the service is distinguished by red
hat cords. Each regiment of field
artillery was led by the regimental
colors and the bands.
The 10th trench mortar battery,
next in line, was of much interest to
onlookers. AS in the field artillery
regiments, gun caissons and guns
formed part Of the procession, each
caisson and gun being drawn by eight
large, spirited horses. The supply
train of the battery followed This
comprised long line Of covered wag-
ons. The wagons were drawn by
mules.
Bringing Up the Rear
The 10th sanitary train was be-
hind the supply train. Bringing up
the rear of the procession of soldiers
was the sanitary corps, composing
several hundred soldiers, connected
with the base hospital and regimen
tai infirmaries at Camp Greene.
Each regiment was led by it's
colonel and staff officers; each bat
talon by it's commander land each
company by its commander and lieu
tenants.
Owing to the systematic way in
which traffic was handled, there were
very few halts during the entire pa
rade, and these only for a moment or
so.

$4,000 TROOPS SHOW PEOPLE OF
SOUTHLAND WHAT WAR
REALLY MEANS NOW
CITY is TANGLED UP
MASSES OF SOLID HUMANITY
LINE STREETS WHEN SOL.
DIERS MOVE THRU STREETS
(Charlotte Observer)

Never before in her history has
Charlotte witnessed such parade as
that of Thursday when $4,000 SOL
diers from the forty-first division, in
cluding cavalry, artillery, infantry
and machine gun battalions marched
through the principal streets of the
city, followed by thousands of citizens
marching by organizations, an argu-
ment for the sale Of the second Lib
erty bond issue. Never before in her
history has Charlotte seen her streets
so densely packed with people, as
thousands upon thousands jammed
the sidewalks and side streets along
the line of the parade. For once in
her life the citizenry of the city was
hushed into silence, while what ap-
peared to be great army of soldiers
passed by. For the first time, no
doubt, hundreds upon hundreds Of
people realized that the United States
is at war, realized that the men, some
of them at least, were taking the
long hike as an appeal to the people
for funds to purchase ammunition
and other necessities for them in
their battles against autocracy.
Fourteen thousand soldiers doesn't
sound like many, as figures Of armies
90 nowadays, but when $4,000 men,
marching by platoons and all in step,
pass with the never ending "crunsh,
crunsh, crunsh," upon the pavement,
it's different matter and sight
most too large for the average citi-
zen. Such it seemed yesterday to the
densely-packed throngs, for there
were but few cheers, but scant hand
clapping. Even the most blase stood
silently as the manly fellows from the
northwest went tramping past in a
never ending stream, their khaki uni
forms blending into long-stretched,
ribbon-like, serpentine line and their
guns forming the spikes Of what
looked like some gigantic monster.
They passed through the great ave-
nue. of human beings, more than two
miles long, with never "a sound to
break the noise of the tramping feet,
except the martial airs played by the
half a dozen regimental bands.
No Delay
The parade passed the reviewing
stand, erected on the courthouse
lawn, in shorter time than had been
estimated, for within an hour and a
half aften the head of the parade had
passed, the rear-guard had passed in
review.
1t was 2:1O O'Clock when the 10th
Engineers band reached the review
ing stand, occupied by Brigadier Gen.
eral Jervey, Brigadier General Voll-
rath ard Brigadier General Coulter,
with their stats, Mayor McNrich, and
other officials both military and civil,
their wiwes, and other prominent men

The following is a copy If a IbdlletM,
received at the library this week:
To the librarians of the United
States:
The libraries of our country are so
organized as to keep in touch with
all of our people. Many of You are
already performing real service for
the country along a3e line Of food
conservation. To encourage those
who are now at work and to stir to
endeavor those who are forgetting
the national necessity for food con-
servation, because Of their absorp-
tion in other things, the Food Admin
istration will establish direct COM
munication with you through series
of monthly "Food News Notes for
libraries"
This will enable you to know the
food facts that are to be stretched over
that particular period and will give
you suggestions as to lists of books
and pamphlets and other usable ma.
terial and where it can best be OBJ
tanned.
We ask for your loyal support and
we feel sure that you will give it.
(Signed): Herbert Hoover.
With this bulletin come "Ten Les
sons on Food Conservation" the best
thing in print that has yet appeared
on the why and how to save and con-
serve. The lessons are brief and run
as follows:

supper when passed them out There
was scramble for them and we pro-
ceeded to spend an hour in Williston.
MY last letter was sent out in a
hurry and I fear was incomplete.
Hereafter shall attempt to make it
in the form of daily diary, writing
each evening the events of the day.
Captain Evans has rather large
family to look after now as Co. f is
composed of 250 men, the new addi-
ton being made from the Crosby Co.
of the End regiment. We also have
additional officers as follows:

There is a grand rule for the mess

way, but mess Sgt. Pavey is handling
the mess in first class shape and
everyone gets those 3 Squares reg

the Cooks Nearing, Thompson, Derry

Last Saturday at 10 a. m. we had
our first inspection of men, arms,
quarters, etc., and everyone was
"dolled up'' for the occasion, every
thing passing in first class shape.
Saturday afternoon was pay day for
everyone but North Dakota companies
and the streets of Charlotte were
mass of soldiers all evening. Our
pay day was delayed until Thursday
and Co. E. and other North Dakota
boys went sightseeing then.
On Sunday nearly everyone attend
ed church either in camp or in town
and nearly all those who attended
church in town were invited out TO
dinner at some private house.
Capt. Evans says that at the rate
the sergeants and others of the Co.
are getting acquainted, especially
with these Southern Bellies, the fair
sex of Williston will have to hurry
and that there will be few letters of

rush at the post Office every mail and

CHRISTMAS MAIL FOR AMERICAN
FORCES ABROAD

Washington D. c., October 3, 1917.
To the Public:
The time is approaching to give thought to bringing
Christmas cheer to the American soldiers and sailors
abroad.
Arrangements have been perfected whereby the
Christmas mail to the American Expeditionary Forces in
Europe is to be delivered by Christmas morning Without
the fullest cooperation the part of the public it will
be impossible to accomplish this result.
The three essential respects in which the public
aid in assuring happy Christmas at the front Mail

it is urgently requested that all persons having
Christmas mail for the soldiers and sailors and the civil
ian units attached to the in Europe observe closely

COMPANY f BOYS TAKE PART IN
BIG PARADE FOR LIBERTY LOAN

and women. The band was playing
Dixie, and as usual the crowd was
cheering. Just before reaching the
reviewing stand, however, they ceas-
ed playing the south's immortal mel
ody and struck up that Of the French,
the "Marseillaise." Immediately every
one on the reviewing stand stood and
the military officers stood at atten-
ton and saluted.
Once the great crowd, almost as
one, cheered as Brigadier General
Wedgwood, officer in charge of the
military feature for the day, passed
along accompanied by his staff. Of
ficers on the reviewing stand stood
and saluted. AS each stand of regi-
mental colors passed the reviewing
stand, the officers stood at "attention"
and saluted the flag. Several thous-
and soldiers, not in the parade, were
mingled with the throngs upon the
sidewalks, and these too stood at at
tention and saluted, and before the
long procession had passed, citizens
in civilian clothes found themselves
following the example of the men in
khaki, doing honor to the national
emblem.
Artillery Impressive
Perhaps it was the field artillery,
the guns and caissons that attracted
the most attention, Charlotte people,
and those who live in nearby cities
and towns have been accustomed for
a long time to infantry organizations
and have seen many Of them in pa
rades here, but such was not the case
as regards field artillery. The dead
ly field guns that play such an i'm
portant part in the celebrated 'bar-
rage fire" were closely observed by
citizens generally. The cavalry, also,
came in for close scrutiny, for few
cavalry units have ever been seen
upon the streets Of Charlotte. The
cavalry was drilling by platoons just
as the infantry and machine gun
companies were.
The head of the parade, so far as
the military was concerned, formed at
Tryon and Bland streets. 1t moved
promptly upon the appointed hour, 2
o'clock
Through Human Avenue
The crowd was somewhat scatter
ing beyond Morehead street, but after
the soldiers had passed this point, the
sidewalks presented perfect avenue
of faces through which the soldiers,
in platoons, marched straight up
Tryon street The streets were alb
solutely clear of all traffic, even the
street car schedules being tempor-
orily suspended, not mt even pedes-
trains were allowed to break across
the line of march.
Past the reviewing stand the long
column went and at independence
square the order "Column, right"
was given and the soldiers swung
down East avenue one block to North
College street, where the order "Col-
umn, left!" was given and they turn
ed into North College street. They
passed up College street to Ninth
street, where once again they turned
to the left and went up Ninth to
North Tryon street. Again the order
Column, left was given and the
boys marched back towards Indepen-
dence square, turning to the right,
however, at Fifth street and passing
down this thoroughfare to Church
