OMAHA MARCH|N
GREAT PARADE
Military Pageant Takes Place
Amid Great Demonstra-
tion: Boys in Khaki
Given Honor Place.

1t was an army that moved
through the downtown streets yes
terday to the music of a dozen
bands and before the admiring eyes
of tens of thousands of people,
packing the downtown streets. 1t
was the Ak-Sar-Ben military parade.
Four "whippet tanks" were fea-
lures of the parade that particularly
interested the crowds. They were
built by Gus Renze in correct imi-
tation of the real "whippets" that
are causing such CONSERVATION
among the Germans.
The Liberty loan float, which was
in the electrical parade, did duty in
the military parade also. 1t showed
the kaiser covering at the foot of
cliff unaware that American citi-
zens at the edge of the precipice
above him are prying heavy safe
with large plank labelled Thrift
and that the safe, filled with Liberty
bonds is about to crush him.
A company of more than 100
Omaha soldiers from Camp Funston
marched with swinging stride and
amid much applause.
Not all the marchers were in
khaki. In fact, only a fraction of
them were. But the others were
soldiers, just the same, because
they are engaged in various lines
of work necessary to- the welfare
and health and comfort of the real
soldiers
from the Ak-Sar-Ben board Of
governors who rode their fiery
steeds at the head of the parade,
to the fire department, which
brought up the rear, there were
plenty of things that reused en-
thusiasm and interest.
Boys In Khaki Inspire.
Major Rodgers was in command
of a regiment of men from Fort
Omaha and Fort Crook. This regi-
ment was headed by the Fort Crook
band. Company after company of
splendid young soldiers marched
with inspiring tread.
All the various appurtenances of a
regiment were along. There was a
big observation balloon, all inflated
and ready to go up but held down
by many ropes. There were truck
winches by which the balloons are
held when they go up into the air.
A travelling kitchen passed along,
the cooks busy. apparently prepar-
ing "chow." There were machine
guns ready to bark their messages

JOLLY THR0NC
OF FUN SEEKERS
ON KINGS " WAy
ReveIers Have Gay Time,
- Throw Care to the Winds
and End Evening in a
Riot of Fun.

1t was a jolly crowd of fun seek
erS that visited the carnival grounds
last night, and unless one was pos
sessed of chronic attack OF in
disposition, he could not help but
laugh. Everyone else was laugh
ing. and why not YOU? 1t was the
style, and better be out of the
grounds than out of style.
And yet laughing was not alto
gether a safe indulgence, for as
surely as you opened the laughing
spot, someone took it for a waste
paper basket and proceeded to fill
it full.
Then perhaps you thought you
would be congenial and entertain
your friends in conversation, but
with no better result, for again that
particular portion of your anatomy
became target for the playful
sportsman.
So now having decided that you
will neither laugh nor talk you at
tempt to watch others partake of
their evening meal, when 10 and
behold, someone pours whole sack
of confetti down your back and
again the fun is on.
Finally you turn to the shows,
and here you have the time of your
life.
Say mister! What shows! Why
there was that little girl, Alma, who
weighs only US pounds, a perfect
living example of that ancient adage
laugh and grow fat"
And then one might go on
through the entire list, but it would
take too long. If you have not been
there, you had better 60. and if you
have, go again, it won't hurt you.

Washington, Oct. Sit is be-

On the contrary there seemed
every reason for this barrier to

by the enemy that the linden
