The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-28

With what will probably be one of the greatest pageants ever seen in Birmingham the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign will be launched this afternoon. The weather man has promised fair and cool weather, the of ficials and workers of the loan drive are enthusiastic, and the people of Birmingham and vi cinity are on edge for the drive to start.
 The greatest collection of floats, as well as the most unique that has ever been presented to the people of Bir mingham will be interspersed through out the parade, and bands and singers will play and sing their way along the route.
 The head of the parade will form at Sixth avenue and Eighteenth street, with the different divisions forming along Eighteenth street from First avenue to Sixth avenue, with two or three divi. sions forming on Park avenue.
 UNIQUE PAGEANT Chairman George McCleery and his pa- rade committee have not overlooked any thing that would tend to add interest or uniqueness to the pageant, and in this work they have had the hearty cooperation of all other committees and workers who could possibly be of help. Birmingham and Jefferson county have been allotted very large quota in this campaign-over ss0O0,0O0-but with the enthusiasm already existing and the in- tensely patriotic programme for the opening of the campaign, will no doubt lessen the work of those charged with the responsibility of raising this great sum of money.
 Everybody in the parade and all spec tators have been requested to wear American flags, and merchants and res idents along the line of march are ex- pected to display from their houses flags during the entire afternoon.
 City authorities have taken precautions to prevent accidents and facilitate the movement of the parade by forbidding the parking of automobiles and other ve- hicles in any part of the streets over which the pageant will pass, and of ficers will be on duty to see that the order is not disobeyed.
 SALUTE THE FLAG
 Grand Marshal McCleery issued state ment yesterday in which he requests spectators to salute every flag as it passes; men by. removing their hats, women by raising their right hands; to keep on the sidewalks behind the ropes to be stretched by Boy Scouts; "don't cross the street while the parade is passing" said the general" join in singing; don't be afraid to express your patriotic sentiments: clap your hands, wave flags and cheer
 The Liberty Chorus, the Sacred Harp organization and choirs from colored churches, with 100 voices, will sing pa triotic songs, in the singing of which the spectators are urged to join.
