Two great white airships hoated over

New York'a Liberty Day. celebra-

Avenue and its Liberty bond parade.
From the Battery to Van Cortlandt
Park and into Yonkers; across the
river in Brooklyn and to the West as
far as Newark, the spirit of Liberty

Brooklyn's celebration was preten-
tious. 1t t'began with a series of death

H. Gardiner, known as the human
fly" who crawled all over the Borough
Hall from the base of the big columns
guarding the entrance to the very tip
of the tlagpole, $50 feet above the
sidewalk. Later in the day there was
a parade of students from Erasmus
Hall High School, drills by the soldiers
at Fort Hamilton and in the evening a
monster mass meeting at the Academy
of Music.
At the College of the City of New
York Liberty Day" was celebrated in
the form of a French holiday At
Yonkers there was a parade, with over
ten thousand persons, and rally
afterward in the new state armory.
Newark Exceeds Its Quota
In Newark, N. j., the day was given
over to small celebrations 1t came to
a fitting climax when the chairman of
the Liberty Loan Committee announced
that the city not only had exceeded its
quota, but that every indication pointed
to an oversubscription of several mill
ion dollars. Among those who spoke in
the New Jersey city were Governor
Walter E. Edge and Abraham S. Elkus.
