Fine Demonstration by School Children and Citizens
Generally—Inspiring Music and Speeches Arouse
Great Crowd to High Pitch of Enthusiasm
Moscow from center to circumference was aroused to a high pitch of patriotic enthusiasm by the events of today. First came the demonstration by the school children of the city—upward of 1000. These in double file, headed by the High school band and officered by the teachers and some of the older pupils, the children formed in line near the school houses, and marched through the principal streets of the city evoking applause from all who witnessed the beautiful sight.
At the end of the line of march in front of the Hotel Moscow the children massed about the band stand and there formed the nucleus of a great patriotic mass meeting participated in by the citizens generally.
Response to the proclamation of Mayor Gibson public offices and places of business generally closed, and as the weather was delightful there was a great outpouring of people.
The Chamber of Commerce was in session at the time but the strains of the "Star Spangled Banner" from the band in the street broke up the meeting and a recess was taken to enable all members of the chamber to take part in the street demonstration.
President G. P. Mix acted as master of ceremonies for the mass meeting.  and introduced the speakers, each one of whom was applauded for the inspiring sentiments expressed.
