butt the kaiser.
:E1S mArcherS took to the water at
tna. and NJ the countermarch and the
peonls along the sidewalks dispersed,
expressing their thanks to the admiral
and his men for the treat given them
and feeling safe that with such men
to defend them there need be no fear
of the outcome of the war with the
central powers.

werR and his aides. Flag Lieut.. Mar
rit Hudson, Capt. e. H. Watson and

j. L. Hughes and aides and Capt.
Bennett and Capt. E. F. Fitzgerald.
The parade wendell it's way from
one end of Palafox street to the other
and was reviewed by thousands OF
citizens.
The officers of the Liberty Legion
who participated in the parade We're
all supremacy confident that, when
their regiments finished their assaults
upon the vaults and Strong boxes of
the city during Pledge Week, Uncle
Sam would have every dollar that he
has asked Pensacola and Escambia
county to secure in w. S. s.
Aviation Division
The Rotary and Treasury divisions
of the Liberty Legion have each been
boasting that theirs would have the
honor Of turning in the greatest num-
Der of pledges. Another contender for
this honor has entered the field. The
service men at the Naval Air Station
have watched the various stages of
- he I ORR
with keen interest and finally demand
ed to know why they had not been
given a part and permitted to invest
their money as well as fight for their
country Arrangements were made
for them to organize an additional di-
vision composed Of the service men
and their officers at the Naval Air Sta
ton, and these boys are making no
secret of the fact that the other two
divisions of the Liberty Legion will
have to hustle IL they expect to turn
in as many pledges as the Aviation
Division.
There will be a big meeting at the
Naval Air Station at $50 p. m. tomor-
row when the new organization of
the Aviation Division will be perfected,
and the sailor boys say they Will only
need a couple of days to show the
civilians how to go at gathering
pledges.
