The only aristocracy we rec ognize here is that of honesty and effi ciency. The only upper class we know is that of the men who are wil ling to do a full day’s work and who will pay 100 cents on the dollar when they owe a debt. For all who will ac cept our standards we open the door marked ‘Welcome.’ ” Judge Harding v/as rousingly cheer ed as was Colonel A. C. MacComb, Camp Greene commander, who also addressed the soldiers.

"You have taken the,oath to fight any of the fellows in Europe if called upon. You will not be called into an unjust war. The United States wull never wage war for gain or profit. In the contest from which we have just emerged victorious we we:e ready to give all we have because we battled for those undying principles of Liber ty and Freedom. “In the American army' your offi cers will not strike you or abuse you. They are your friends. They are sup posed to be the exponents of the square deal. “My final plea to you is to be good Americans and as such I welcome you into the citizenship of the United States.” THANKSGIVING DANCE CAN USE PAVILION.
