spur line, will carry pictures of th'
| United States soldiers in France the,
will be manned by real red bloodet
soldiers and sailors; they will have
| modern war machines mounted OF
flat cars and trained fighters will
/ demonstrate a bit of trench life alonl
the route. Each train will have a mil
itary band, and efforts are being made
to have Lieutenant John Philip Sous;
travel over the route with his splen
did naval band, the largest in thu
| world, from the Great Lakes Nava
; Training school. They will carry wa
: trophies and flags and four minute
speakers will give brief stories abou
the loan and it's purpose.
There is another side of the cam
