TURKISH WOMEN WEAR
 PAJANfAS IN THE STREETS

Bucharest, June 17.-Turkish woni- en. many of whom live in villages along the Danube River in Rumania are wearing in the streets, with the greatest of pride, American pajamas bearing the label: Gift of the Amer ican people" The garments, if worn on the streets of New York, would cause a sensation, but the Turkish women here usually wear a form of trousers and the pajamas excite little comment.

BIGGEST Crowd

TIONS, HANDSPRING AND
REVERENCE.
BEST CELEBRATION EVER.

Lancaster entertained 10000 Grant
county people last Friday the occa-
sion being the 4th Of July and the day
set for the Welcome Home to the SER
vice men of this county.
The city was beautifully decorated
in honor of the visitors. BY daylight
almost the crowds began to pour into
the city and by noon the streets were
masses OF people.
The court house square was wisely
sel aside for the public and as a re-
suit the side streets III every direc-
tiOn contained great numbers Of mo-
tor vehicles. Some came with teams
but they all came and they all had
a good time
The recital of the program is told
elsewhere. Needless to say not Wis
itor was disappointed and not /. word
OF anything but approval was heard
from anyone. All were enthusiastic.
Lancaster doesn't do things often but
she does them WE'LL" that's the city's
old slogan and this time she vert ev-
en- better.
At least 10000 people visited the
city.
Toward event. g-abcut six clock
"a thunder shower put a stop to the
conclusion of the outdoor program.
AS a result the big, free open-air min
strel show had to be postponed. 1t
was given Saturday night.
A good many cars drove home
through the mud and a good many
others waited over to Saturday. But
no one was unhappy
1t was a. great day in Lancaster.

The Morning Parade.

The morning parade was the best
ever seen here and would have done
credit to city of metropolitan size.
There we're about eighty different sec
tions to the parade, all different in
idea.
Heading the line was the leader
with a bugIer escort. Next were
three men on foot representing the
three Revolutionary, Rebellion
and World War.
Following these was the American
flag borne by Colonial soldiers and
danes. Then came the Monroe 8th
regiment band of 80 pieces. The next
feature was striking and beautiful
an immense banner of silk with a
gold star On it was the inscription,
<'To The Boye We Left Behind" Sol
diers carried this banner. Behind them
were column after column of march
ing soldiers and sailors in uniform.
The next was peace" with her
handmaidens. This float drew much
applause Then the list Liberty Loan
horseman. Following was the Grant
County Service flag showing a star
in white, silver or gold for every man
in the service from the county. 1t
was handsome feature Austin
Dewey, z feet tall, as Uncle Sam came

The Morning Program.

The morning program opened with
songs by chorus of girls led by Mrs
S. S. McNelly with Mrs. Bessie Clark
at the piano. The choruses given
were: Freedom For All Forever, !"
and America Triumphant" The work
was strikingly we'll done and too good
to lapse without being given at least
Cnce again so that others may hear.
Senator G. H. Baxter introduced the
speaker, Justice Marvin B. Rosenber-
ry. Following a tribute to Grant
county and its people Judge Rosen-
berry traced the history of American
progress from the declaration lab
years ago to the present day. He
spoke of the various conflicts endured
in establishing liberty, the civil war,
the Spanish-American war and said
that Of the great crises of the world
none compared to the World War.
The Judge stated that the world had
passed through two struggles one be-
ing for religion and the other pOlit-
ical freedom and that now it was fac
ing another for economic freedom
Judge Rosenberg touched upon the
duty of the living to the dead and felt
sure that some new method such as
the league of nations was necessary
to prevent war; During his life the
world had not been without war at
some time or another.
Judge Rosenberg is not an orator
but he is simple, forcible speaker
who constantly betrays mastery of
his subject and keen logical powers.
The people of Grant county made no
mistake in giving him big majority
last spring.

Service Men Register.

w. ]. Brennan in charge of the reg
istration, says that GAL Grant county
service men registered and nine from
the outside. These were mainly sol
diers but there were some sailors and
few marines. One nurse register
ed. She was Mrs. Leo j. Brechler
of Fennimore, formerly Miss Cert
rude Gunderson Miss Gunderson
served during the war as nurse at
Camp Custer, Mich.
Mr.. Brennan noted a great differ
.ence in the bearing of the men COM
pared to year or two years ago
when they went away. In every in
stance the men were quietly respect
full and willingly took their turn in
line. Not one soldier evidenced in
fiuence of liquor. Mr.. Brennan be-
lieves that the army discipline has
been great factor in creating man
hood.

The Moving Pictures.

A Lancaster company was formed
last Thursday to take pictures of the
big celebration. ]. F. Rockwell of
Richland Center, a moving picture
artist, was engaged and he was as
sisted by Geo: Louthain Of the Pathe
Freres company. The men took LOO
feet of film. They snapped both par
AIDES, the flower pavilion, the sports,
and in fact pretty near all the events.
The film was sent to Chicago for de-
velopment and upon its completion
and tryout sub-titles will be arranged.
Then the picture will be shown here.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1919-07-09

The most impressive feature the
one that drew the most attention
was the flower memorial building in
honor of Grant county's soldier and
sailor dead of the World War. This
structure on the pergola style was
erected on the southeast corner Of
the square.
A picture speaks more than any
words may tell and the handsome
half-tOne engraving accompanying
this story gives good idea of the po-
etc beauty and idealism expressed in
the memorial The flowers that came
in huge quantities until they filled the
mammoth urn and were banked along
the sides and walls, do not appear in
the picture as the photograph work
was completed the day prior to the
celebration
At 4:3O sharp the flower service be-
gan with appropriate music by the
Monroe band Following that the
Rev. Arhelger gave simple but
splendid address. The speaker used
Lincoln's address at Gettysburg as
his keynote: Let us here resolve
that these dead heroes shall not have
died in vain"
Rev. Arhelger told his audience that
they were standing before their sol
der dead just as surely as if they
stood above their graves on the bat
tlefeld or camp. "The blood OF eight
million dead and the spirits of eight
million dead call to the living to make
this better world he said.
In conclusion the speaker made an
appeal to the people to extend their
walls" meaning that the world called
for greater brotherhood. He drew
a ouching comparison by telling the
story of he American boy who was
killed near French town but whom
the priest could not let lie inside the
cemetery walls-consecras to the
members of the pastors faith. The
boy was buried outside but vt.ry near
the wall by his cemetery The next
morning they found that the wall had
been extended during the night to
take in the body of the dead soldier.
During the service bowl of flow
ers burned carrying out the idea so
beautifully expressed in the pavilion
When the great clusters dry they will
be burned and the ashes preserved in
suitable manner. At the conclu-
sion of the service the bugle gave
TAPS"
To say again that this feature of
the program drew the most attention
would not be amiss. The idea came
to v. L.. Showalter, chairman of the
celebration, and his assistants, John
Calls, the designer, Geo. @. Sykes,
the artist, and Gene Woodhouse, the
builder, did their work reverently
we'll Every visitor came silently to
the pavilion and quite a few went
away with misty eyes. Mothers of
dead sons who could not be here sent
heart breaking letters. During the
long day the pavilion was the center
of reverent attention.
The Victory srches and columns
and the flower pavilion drew much
praise from visitors here on the 4th.
The work of designing was done by
j B. Calls OF this city. Gene Wood
house and BROKER Bros. did the car
penter work. The electrical effects.
were the work Of F. S. Orion Of the
Interstate company.

The Zero Hour.

AS the line of parade swung past
the Congregational church the gun
shot signal was given for the Zero
Hour" For three minutes the par
ade halted while the service men
stood at attention and the crowd barred
it's head. The church bell tolled sew
enty-two times each tap representing
a Grant county son who had made the
supreme sacrifice Then the bugler
played TAPS" and the band pcaled
out with the Star Spangled Be- lner.
Then the parade swung on its way.

The Promise.
By Charles r. Galbreath.


In Flanders fields the cannon boom,
And fltful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce Gestroyers Of the sky,
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Fland rs fields.
Sleep on, We brave, the shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The Iury OF the battlefield Z
Shall wake you not, for all is we'll;
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning hearts and oath we
swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through,
To crush the foe, or sleep with you,
In Flanders fields.

The FuIflment.

BY James A. Williams.
In Flanders fields the peoples bloom
Above your lOwly, hallowed tomb
That your brave deeds may never die.
The torch of freedom, lifted high,
Shall shine forever where you lie.
No more in Flanders fields will grow
The crosses, endless, row on row;
For crushed and conquered lies the
foe
We kept the faith, we've seen it
@ through,
EOur myriad brave lie dead with you
In Flanders fields.
Sweet be your rest! Our task is done.
The tramp of armies, boom of gun,
And furious cry of savage Hun
Are silent now. The victory's won!
Peace to your souls The victory's
won, In Flanders fields.

In FLANDERS Fields.
By Colonel Joan D. McCrea.
(Tia CalIl

In Flanders fields the peoples blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are dead. Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we. lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
If We break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though peoples
grow,
In Flanders fields.

and the audience loudly appreciative
The sOlOists all got "a big hand" and
the audience was convulsed when the
four entertainers who are wasting
their time selling farm implements
life insurance, clerking courts and
maintaining water systems, appeared
on the scene. Dr. Doo1ittle made his
decorated with the colors, through
thin air. Various theories were heard
afterwards but the truth is that he did
what he said-separated the spirit
from the body and transferred them
one at a time. Especial thanks are
due Messrs. HOskins of Bloomington
for their valued assistance The show
was big success.

A notable feature of the 4th this
year was the absence of firecrackers,
torpedoes and the like. The reporter
saw but one instance and this was a

children. The mass of the crowd
went back to the true spirit of Inde-
pendence Day and seemingly cared
little for the silly and dangerous use
