Big Demonstration
The recruiting party from the
Harrisburg recruiting station, is al
ready reporting highly successful
results during the short period 1T
has been at work among the pa
triotic residents of the district. Al
ready a half-dozen of men, many OF
them overseas veterans who served
with various divisions which made
records for themselves, have signed
up for re:enlistment.
The gigantic demonstration of sol
dier life in Europe, scheduled TO
take place this evening, promises to
be one of the most spectacular
events of the entire three-days cele-
bration. Living in tents for several
days and practicing faithfully, two
full companies of veterans, most
of them of overseas service, will to-
night stage a well-prepared trench
raid. One company will endeaVor 10
capture the trench, while the other
will act on the defensive. Large
quantities of trench guns, held
pieces and other war material have
been furnished by the Harrisburg
recruiting station.
Fireworks have been furnlshed
and will serve to illuminate the sky
throughout the presentation OF this
spectacular demonstration. Blank
cartridges have been supplied ana
their ringing out will serve to pre-
sent but only in a minor degree,
some of the slight horrors of war.
Preparations are being made to-
day for the accommodation of thou
sands of people tomorrow, which
nromises to be the really big day
of the entire program. The mon
ster street parade in the morning,
naturally. will be the outstanding
event of the days events.
