happy speeches and said he would like
to talk all his life to such a group.
Miss Halle Queen Brown of Wilber-
force was the next speaker and she
certainly thrilled the crowd when she
said: "The young men I am address
ing, represent the only race in history
which has never produced a traitor

tribute to the loyalty Of the colored
people generally and those of Mime
sofa in particular.
Before the Governor had concluded
his remarks the 18th Battalion band
of sc pieces appeared having come
from Minneapolis where they escorted
the draftees to the depot. The parade
was formed and led by the band pro-
ceeded to the depot where the men
entrained.
Many women caught step with their
sons, husbands, brothers or sweet
hearts and marched side by side with
the men.
Banners carried by the draftees bore
such optimistic messages as, We've
been fighting all our lives, one more
won't hurt Were the patriotic
league of loyal rooters"
The men continually broke into
cheers as they marched.
At the depot the men joined 126
draftees from Minneapolis and 80
from Duluth.

Y. M. c. A. accompanied the men to
