Who Wore That Helmet

One of the D. c. men had a German
helmet dangling on the end of his
bayOnet, and it attracted more atten-
tion than the paraders. where's the
German that belongs to that" one or
the spectators yelled. Boy. there $

shouted back.
The Salvation Army shared in the
most of the applause that was handed
out to the welfare organizations of the
war. They opened up their headquar-
tcrs on the Avenue to a free blow
out" for men in uniform after the
parade, and doughnuts and coffee at
tracted an overflow crowd.
The whippet tanks attracted more
than their share of attention as they
catcrpillared up the Avenue. As one
dusky soldier among the spectators
described them to his companions,

When the cOiored troops were pass
ing Fourteenth and the Avenue a
negro man rushed from behind the
ropes and kissed one of the returning
soldiers in true French style.
Policemen rendered a small boy un-
comfortable when they pressed the
rope roughly against his face. The
boy produced a small pocket knife
and was cndeavoring to sever the
rope when a policeman took the knife
into custody.
Perhaps the parade feature that
brought the brightest smile to Pres

REV. ENTzM|NGER
TALKED ON THE
POLITICAL SITUATION

Proceeding the sermon at First bap-
list Church last night the pastor, Dr.
Louis Entzminger, made some very
pointed remarks on the local poilticai
situation.
He expressed keen disappointment
that his remarks a week ago had been
taken as a joke by some, when it was
a matter of too much seriousness ana
inheritance to be treated as a joke.
On the former occasion he stated
that he would not vote for any man
who was not capable Of filling the
office he sought, nor would he voe for
gambler or booze fighter.
Some parties, he declared, had made
it all a Joke and said the preacher hao
illuminated all the candidates by his
restrictions and therefore he could mo-
vote.
He declared emphatically that ther'
were good men, clean men, honest mel
in the race for every Office. Men WIZ
would give Lakeland a clean buslnes
administration. you know who the
are" said the minister, Il need nc
call their names

been claimed that Lakeland has 81
