Vntlnti Imp come mid gone Registration Dny, nl.t .1 . n..i i . i ' iiiismiy whs imiugiy ouserveu ami the program that had been arranged by the committee in charge carried out in full. F. V. Cowden, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, was mar shal of the day. The parnde was formed nt l:.1o p. m., at tho corner of Fourth Aveiuio and Webster street, which was composed of city olllcials, members of the G. A. R., V. R C, Boy Scouts, school child, ren, the band, members of the Com mercial Club and lust but not least tho young men who had registered in compliance with the ruling of the gov ernment, who marched in a body through the principal streets or the city, thence to the court house, where the balance of the program was given. County Attorney F. J. Munday was master of ceremonies, who afterabrlef tribute to the (lag of the nation, intro duced the various speakers. The Red Cloud Concert band, which wo are pleased to note respondod to the call of patriotism with every member was present, rendered appropriate select ions, after which America was sung by the entire audience, under the lead ership of N. B. Dush. Dr. K. P. Iloxsey, who by the way, has volunteered his service to thecaaso and awaits the decision of the govern ment medical board, as to whether or not his services will be accepted, was the first speaker. He outlined the various departments and duties of the large medical corps that is required to look after the wants of tho army, on the firing line, in the hospitals, the training camps and rccruitingstations. Rev. Druliner then came forward nud delivered a very imprcsslvo and interesting talk, tolling the audience his private opinion, which was based on careful study and perusal of various classes of literature since the beginn ing of the war, concerning the needs of the nation, in order to defend our country and to establish freedom of speech and government on both laud and sea; speaking highly of tho young men who had registered; nppeallng to everyone, who was financially able, to purchase a liberty bond; and citing the example set by the allies in the huge sum of money they had raised in order to defend their country and con cluded by saying that all he had in this world was his family, for whom he would give the last drop of his blood. Mr. E. J. Overlng's address proved to be both interesting and instructive. He stated that he wished to impress upon the minds of the people just what this war represented; autocracy against democracy, or to come right down to facts, right against wrong. Autocracy demanded that the power of govern ment should be handed down from one ruler to another, while democracy was a government for the people, and by the people. Also that we held no mal ice against the German people-, as In dividuals, but that It was tho prin cipals of the rulers that we were fighting. He concluded by reading a piece of poetry Unit he had secured, which outlined the duties of three men. one was In the trenches fighting for his country, one was in the mill labor ing to supply the lighting men with weapons and clothing, while the third was in the Held behind the plow, his duty being to supply the soldiers and nations with food. A mixed choir, composed of several of our patriotic men aud women, ren dered several vocal solos, which was highly appreciated by the audience. A very large crowd was In attendance which bears evidence to tho fast that when Red Cloud sets out to accomplish any glvcu mission the same is always crowaed with success. Much credit is due to tho marshall of the day and the committee In charge, for tho flue pro gram that they arranged. The Chief on behalf of tho young men who registered on Tuesday wishes to express their appreciation and thanks to the committee in charge, nnd the young Indies who stationed them selves at the places of registration in the two wards, and presented each futuro soldier with a Red, White and Blue Ribbon.
