land-Other Ohio News.

CLEVELAND, O., April IA shrill
scream rang out above the welcoming
shouts of deliriously glad thousands
when veterans of the 145th infantry
were marching through Euclid avenue
Friday. The cry came from Miss H1lda
Johnson, of Steubenville.
Staring intensely for few moments
at the khaki-clad group marching by,
Miss Johnson suddenly threw gold
service flag into the street, brushed
aside policeman, who sought in vain
to stop her, and dashed toward the
column of soldiers, interfering with
the front rank of marching men, heed
less of the protests, straight into the
arms of Private Elmer c. Johnson.
She Rugged and kissed him time and
again and then cried for joy
"Of Course I'm Crazy"
You're crazy" shouted onlookers.
"Of course I'm crazy" shouted Miss
Johnson. What girl wouldn't be
crazy when she saw her brother
mourned as dead marching along
bright and clipper in a parade?'
The crowd cheered as Miss Johnson
walked along with her brother.
The family was notified Of the death
of Private Johnson last November.
His mother died later.
Miss Johnson said she came here
because the papers said the spirit OF
the dead heroes would march with
the living and l wanted to be near.
