ECHOES OF THE RECEPTION TO
RETURNING SOLDIERS 3

Mr.. John Thompsons speech was
not only possessed of the full quality
of "brevity," but Possessed all the
other qualities of Spice, flavor and
spontaneity, which make up the "soul
of witt but it also possessed the
charm of accent Chat made it the
more delightful When Ocala wants
an humorist hereafter she will know
where to put her hands on him.
-
The speech of A1r. Alfred Green
was thoughtful aAd in every way
creditable. His young friends warm
ly congratulated him It marked him
as one of Marionss coming men .
Imbued with the Isght ideas he may
well equip himseH for leadership
Grave problems require thoughtful
elucidation.
Z.
Capt. Edward Nake's speech was
in every respect al admirable produe-
ton. It was Intensely interesting
and held the audience with gripping
attention. He has a good, carrying
voice, knew whaGto say and said it
well. Having served in the Boer war,
in the Spanish american war and
having gone withEour forces into Ger
man territory, hk was well equipped
to tell something of the American
Army" After Is delivery one had
a more profounh knowledge of its
grandeur and in5mensity. Its growth
and accomplishments were marvel
Gus. That maybe better understood
when it is kndwn that there were
spent from Apfil 6, 1917. to June /.
1919. s15,544,61f,oeo. War is a costly
luxury, so-calhd to the tax payer,
and peace ought to be great relief.
