SERGEANT MARSHALL
MADE A GOOD SPEECH

At 7:30 Friday evening, it looked
like Sergeant Marshall would not
have an audience at the bandstand, as
a considerable shower fell at that
time. Altho this kept a good many
away, when 8 o'clock struck, there
was good-sized crowd on the square,
and by the time the speaker was fair
ly started there were nearly a thou
sand people to hear him, good many
coming in their cars from out in the
country.
Sergeant Marshall is a we'll set-up
young soldier, and in his neat khaki
uniform he particularly impressed our
people, few of whom had ever seen a
man from the fighting front before.
On the platform with him were Mayor
Chace, Messrs. L. w. Duval, w. T.
Gary and Miss Porter with her high
school singers. The exercises began
with "America," beautifully rendered
by Miss Porter and her class, after
which Mr.. Duval introduced the young
soldier, who Immediately began his
talk.
Sergeant Marshall is not an orator
and didn't try to make an grafton. He
had a plain, Straightforward talk,
which he delivered as man would
in making a statement to his friends.
We do not think we ever saw any
other man who has spoken from that
bandstand receive as close attention
as he did, He brought the war home
to the people, and his words went
home, and those who were there went
away realizing what Amreica is up
against as they never did before. His
talk lasted almost an hour and half,
during which time no one made a
move to leave.
At the conclusion of the address,
Miss Porter and her class rendered
the first two verses of the Star
Spangled Banner, after which the au-
dience dispersed. As the speaker
came down from the stand, scores
came forward to shake hands with
him.
Sergeant Marshall left this morn
ing for st. Petersburg, where he will
speak tonight. He truly has a mes
sage to the American people, and
they are listening wherever he goes.
