TO YOU WHO SERVED:

For the first time in the lives Of most of Perth
Amboy's residents, this city welcomes troops re-
turned Since our conflict with Spain much OF
Perth Amboy of today has been built. Thous-
ands of dependable and hberty-loving men and
women from across the sea, seeking better con-
dtions, have here found home and occupation.
Here also have come industrial specialists, and
men of science and of trade.
Here the children of east, of west, of north, of
south of Europe, of Asia, and the islands OF the
sea- have grown to manhood and to womanhood,
with no menace to terrify and blight until the
grasping hand Of a far distant monarch cast its
shadow, an sounded the tocsin of war
The sons of Perth Amboy went forth to serve,
on land and sea and on the wings of the wind
Some of her daughters went forth to nurse or to
cheer. Mothers fathers, sisters, brothers, wives
sweethearts and friends remained to support and
supply.
1t has been a wonderful thing in this city
of many tongues and religions of divers inter-
ests and conflicting habits, of thought, to know
the submersion of all such differences by the
one great tide of interest and concern--O Our Boysl
Our Boys! Taken from peaceful occupation
and congenial society, hustled into camps, sub
eeted to unbending discipline, taught strange
things, fed strange food, forced into strange
habits, many hundreds of them jammed on
transports, landed on strange soil, subjected by
wars necessities to unspeakable discemforts and
a thousand perils! To us, who staid behind, the
greatest sacrifices, the hardest tasks, the strong
est of war---imposed conditions could be counted
as nothing to what you were enduring, whether
in American camp or facing foreign foe.

With weather conditions at their
best, the parade honoring Perth Am
boys sons who fought in the worlds
war, started shortly after 10 o'clock
this morning, going over the line OF
march decided upon last week by the
committee.
Fraternal organizations, labor
unions, patriotic societies, and the
celebration committee, werc well rep
resented, and with hundreds of school
children in line, the procession made
a marked impression upon the SER
vice men an dtheir relatives as the
parade passed in front of the re-
viewing stand on the high school lawn.
Shortly after o'clock the seats on
the high school lawn began to be oc-
cupied and by 10 o'clock there were
few vacant seats to be found. "A true
military touch was given the occasion
b,s the service men who appeared In
their khaki and blue uniforms. Over-
seas men and those who were not for
tunate enough to be sent across We're
honored alike by the Perth Amboyans,
who marched.
Never before in the history of the
city has there been such an enthu-
siastic demonstration, so many bands
and so many in line as in the parade
this morning which was given to show
the soldier, sailor and marine sons or
Perth Amboy, and also her nurses,
with what great appreciation the resi-
dents here valued their services.
The service men were the guests OF
the city. The residents here were
passing in review before them as
slight token of their debt TO them.>,
All along the line of march were
jubilant crowds and flag waving
throngs who were not fortunate
enough to have seats. Stores, build
ings and private residences were be-
.decked with flags and bunting Wnile
American flags carried by young ana
old alike were to be found in large
numbers. -,
The reviewing stand on the high
school lawn made an imposing sight.
Sons who had fought in the greatest
of wars sat and watched with intense
interest the marchers, fathers ana
mothers contentedly witnessed tne
procession and proudly thought that
their son was one of those being non
ored. Wives, sweet-hearts, and in
some cases children of service men,
were also interested spectators.
n was estimated that between 10,-
900 and 1900 paraders were in line
and the line of march made II possi-
Bile to cover the city quite thoroughly.
After the parade itself had completed
IT'S march past the reviewing stand the
service men were escorted to the Rar-
itan Copper Works by the general
COMMITTEES and a band where the clam
bake is being served this afternoon. a
band occupied the reviewing stand
throughout the parade and Kept the
occupants of the reserved seats in
cheerful mood, with popular war ana
peace selections.

Today Is the day chosen by the city
to celebrate. 1t Is to be her recoBni-
ton of the end OF the greatest war IN
the history of mankind and the victory
won by the Entente Allies, as wen as
to honor the local men who took
part in 1t.
only once in a life time is there the
opportunity to share in so great and
multiplex a demonstration, for, by a
fortunate coincidence the citizens OF
Perth Amboy celebrate not one
epochmaking event only, but celebrate
at least five universal and everlasting
achievements.
on this occasion Perth Amboy pays
tribute to her returned soldiers; does
honor to her brave, beloved dead; cell
ebrates the victory won: re3oices over
the peace that has been accomplished,
and joins in the nationwide toast TO
the promise-laden future.
1t Is for this day that the city
would seem to have been waiting
through all the long months OF the
war. When her sons were sent over
seas It was with the promise that
some day they might return and share
In the results for which they were 10
make the supreme sacrifice.
Today brings the fulfillment OF that
promise in the warmest, heartiest well
come home to her boys that the city
ever saw. And by the same token
the boys are not asked to parade In
uniform with heavy marching regalia,
but are the guests Of honor, attired
as they please and decorated with the
city's badge. 'Guest of Honor"
The work of the decorators was nm
ished last week with the result that
all of the public buildings and the
main thoroughfares are completeIy
covered with gay bunting. Private
stores and residences have shown
equal public spirit in the manner IN
which they have hung the stars and
Stripes at every possible window ano
from every flag staff in the city.
The congregations of the city
churches paid silent homage TO the
dead heroes in services OF the chureh-
