There was a native of Denmark. d
Mexican Russian, a Poe. a Aus
trian. Spaniard, one who gave as
his nativity the state of Kentucky
and one the CITY of Chicago. They
were in command of sergeant, who
told how he had come from SwitZer-
land 10 months ago and had joined
the r. f. G.. in order to learn the
American language, after having
spent several years in the Swiss
army.
At command Of the sergeant the
squad went through number of CO.
Ordinated movements which were ex-
ecuted with mechanical neatness and
dispatch, drawing rounds of pro-
longed applause. They did Squads
east and west" the manual of arms
physical jerks" and a number Of
other stunts much to the delight Of
the contingent Of former service men
who were doubl> delighted with the
performance by virtue of escaping
the duty Of going through 1t them
selves.
Following this exhibition, Ensign
Thompson introduced State Land
Commissioner Clark v. Savidge, who
thrilled the audience with an elo-
quent and stirring eulogy of the boys
who fought in the war. He also pan
egyrized the mothers of the Amer,-
can boys as 1.-The greatest heroes o:
them ALL" and paid stirring tribute
to the mothers of those Olympia bud
dies who now sleep the dreamless
sleep beneath the poppy fields of
Flanders" lone must pay eloquent
tribute to the brave mothers Of Bel
GUM and France, who sacrificed
their loved ones with wi ling hearts
in the recent great conflict" said
Commissioner Savidge, but even
more heroic was the spirit shown by
our American mothers, for they will
lingly gave their boys to the service
Of their country, in behalf Of liberty
and justice for the world. The
mothers of France and Belgium saw
their land invaded. the Germans
were knocking at the very doors CT
Paris, their hearthstones were en-
dangered, while American mothers
gave their boys at a time when they
had to travel many thousand miles
from home to fight on a foreign soil
for those elemental principles Of
human liberty for which our forbears
fought in the Revolution"
