Enthusiasm Aroused by
Liberty Loan Parade

1QENEATH lowering skies men,
~ women and children of Birming-
ham, thousands of them, marched yes
terday in the Liberty Loan parade. A
cold wind that bore down some of the
large flags carried by women, and
flaws of rain, did not dampen the en-
enthusiasm of the marchers nor still
the cheers of throngs who stood along
the streets and watched the imposing
spectacle.
1t was great outpouring of people
who testified to their faith in this
government of ours and showed in
many a determined face resolution
to fight here at home until the power
of Prussianism is overthrown and the
world is made safe for democracy.
Gallant men in khaki, who came over
/ from Camp Mcclellan, with several
bands, to take part in the parade, won
applause by their soldierly bearing.
they We're great factor in making
the parade success and Birmingham
lis grateful to them for coming. 1t is
@fn carry our soldiers across the At
lantic, feed them, clothe them and
provide them with arms and ammuni-
ton that Liberty Bonds are sold. The
hundreds of troops on the streets of
Birmingham yesterday afforded
striking illustration of what this
country is doing to win the war by
sending the flower Of its young man
hood to France.
All walks of life were represented.
There were thousands of school chill
dren, white and colored; there were
Birmingham's most prominent ,citi-
ens-and everybody walked. 1t was
not day for automobiles. The object
of the parade was to give concrete
example Of democracy. Practically
every society and organization in the
Birmingham district had its quota in
the line of march. The large business
houses of the city were well repre-
sented. Admirable management pre-
vented tiresome delays and there was
no confusion. And before the parade
ended government airplane took to
the skies and scattered Liberty Loan
literature to The four winds OF heaven.
No one who witnessed the stiTing
scenes of yesterday can doubt for a
moment that Birmingham will Ego

Loan campaign.
