Senator Sherman says:
II have your letter of June 4
with resolution. l am in sympathy
with your views on this matter.
There is no excuse to offer for the

Your letter, inclosing copy of

This matter of the persecution of

VETS OF THREE
WARS MARCH IN
APOURINC RAIN
Parade and Bonfire on Levee Is
Carried Through in Face OF
Bad Weather Conditions.

Despite rain, which came neaf
ending the parade of welcome to
returned world war veterans last
night, the celebration was carried
out practically in full.
Assembling at the court house
square at o'clock, the line OF
march was formed in advance OF
the time arranged and the column
was in motion by $40. The pro
cession included the Grand Army
of the Republic. United Spanish
War veterans, soldiers of the world
war, and civilians.
AS the parade reached Twentieth
street the rain broke out. Some
dropped out to shelter while many
others continued in the midst of
the rain. the Spanish war veterans
remaining firm on the march. The
rest of the march was a baptism
in one of the hardest rains of tie
season.
Flags and decorations were ar
ranged on the line of march by pa
triotic citizens. The route of
march was as follows:
East on Third avenue to Eigh-
teenth street.
South on Eighteenth street to
Fourth avenue.
East on Fourth avenue to Tween
tieth street.
North on Twentieth street to
Second avenue.
West on Second avenue to Six
teenth street.
North on Sixteenth street to
First avenue.
East on First avenue to river
front near the Milwaukee station.
Most of those who had fallen
out during the rain rejoined the
marchers on the river front.
Schriver Presides.
Mayor H. NJ. Schriver of Rock
Island was master of ceremonies.
He gave a short talk of welcome
to the veterans.
The principal speaker of the oc-
casion was. Captain @. E. Carl
strom of AIedo. Ill, commander of
Battery B of the One Hundred
Twenty-third field artillery. and
former states attorney Of Mercer
county.
He startled some in his criti-
cism OF methods employed by the
regular army officers during the
world war.
The people should get busy
with congress and head this off. >"
was one of his statements.
He told OF the treatment receiv
ed by the national guard at the

hands of the regular army officers,
who, he said, seemed to place their
own power above the sentiment of
the people. Instead of the "divire
right of kings" Of the old days.
there seems to have been a belief
in the divine right of the regular
army, he pointed out.
ED Dunayin former command
er of the Rock Island boys, who
went across as major, should
have come back a lieutenant colo
mel, but he was still a major when
he reached this side, although 9TH
er promotions were made over
him." Captain CarlstTom said.
Speaks for Small Army.
Captain Carlstrom spoke for a
small army He said that if mill
tary training is favored by the peo-
pie. it should be carried out by
students in the colleges and other
institutions, under civilian direc-
ton, and should be in no way IN
lar establishment.
Again came the doom of the
kaiser. Although the veterans
couldn't execute him will a firing
squad, as was planned earlier ill
the day, he was burned in effigy
amid the shouts and cheers of all.
Many commented on the success
of the celebration in the face of
weather conditions. 1t was one of
the first occasions where veterans
of three wars met together and it
brought out a cOmradeship among
them which can only come after
trials and struggles in arms for
ones country.
