officers of high rank who were In Pitts

toward a feeling that the action OF vete-
Fans who left the line of march was TO
BE regretted
While their supe-iors In the service
were for the most part condemning the

parade was the forerunner of the break

refused to go by the reviewing stand.
Issued a statement in which they in
dorsed the demonstration against Mayor

the affair. the statement said:
The purpose for which the Cargo
Club fought has been achieved. The
principles of Americanism, which the
club fought for, have been upheld by
the people OF Pittsburg. This is as it
should be. We want to thank the SOL

have proved that Pittsburg is an Amer
lean city. Beyond this we have no

view when he said:
THE conduct of q comparatively small
number of those who participat in the
parade yesterday was unsoldierly and
undignif1ed indeed. / am disagreeably
surprised thai some of the high type Of
American lna nhood who served overseas
would take part in any such demonstra-

cock Is Mayor of all the people OF the
city of Piltsburg. AS such he should
be treated with the degree of respect
that the office he holds commands. II
some of Pittsburg's citizens have a diff
ference with the Mayor certainly they
should not have attempted to settle 1t
on such an occasion as an Arm!stice

Gen. LOgan's Statement.
"As Chief Marshal of the parade, my
self and my staff organized and gave
orders for the Armistice Day celebra-
ton. The men In the parade were not
under military orders. consequently any

nature. In view of the fact that these
experienced soldiers volunteered to take
part in the parade as compliment to
the people of the city of Pittsburg and
the county OF Allegheny. II was. their

these words 81 think the action was
very unpatriotic, very un-American. and
! can think of no reason why they did
It. I have entertained a number of the
visiting military officers in my home this
evening, and they have expressed them

Judge u. Paulson Foster. chairman OF
the Armstice Day committee voiced
this opinion:
Tho celebration was a wonderful sue

reviewing stand that were more or less

there might be trouble. But the soldier

right stuff and had the courage of their

 When your kidneys feel like Jumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy nervous spells ,acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather lis bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used fol generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders.
