gathered i'pr ir> annual celebration of
Fiag Day. This is $L'7.00o in excess
of the goal of $"?o.rt!>i) ser for the
lodge's campaign for Liberty bonds.1
The report of tin- Klks' liberty loan,
campaign was presented by tin- Uon.l
J. W. ('tj!tu?tin> ai an opportune mo-'
mem during the Klau day exercises.
The Klks of Wheelmg truly have
cause to he proud of this achievement

ed. Hut deep-roted patriotism took|
hold of the committee, headed by At- ,
torney J. B. Handlan, and instead of,
barely accomplishing the task, tbel
committee. -thanks to the liberality of j
the Klks. secured subscriptions for;
more than half as many more bonds j
as the lodge pledged itself to sell. 1 '
The result of rhe Klks, campaign;
for Liberty bonds- is all the more grat-j
ifving when it is noted that many of
the subscribers are Klks who had al i
ready subscribed heavily before the,
lodge undertook the sale of bonds. j
Judg^ Nesbitt On Patriotism.
Judge frank \Y." Nesbitt was the!
orator at the Klks Flag day exercises!
last nevenine at which this result of
the Liberty loan campaign was an-i
nounced. His address on 'Patriotism"!
was a stirring oration, which pre-j
pared his hearers for the thrill they,
felt at rhe announcement of the Klks i
patriotism display of loyalty in the j
Liberty, loan canvas.
Kxalted Ruler J. Harold Brennan '
presided over the unusually impres
sive exericse, "with the other officers
of Wheeling lodce in their chairs. I
The ihstorv of the flag was read by j
Harry Corcoran, and Pas t Exated i

.tribute -to the flat;. The ritualistic
flag day services were unusually |
pretty. ;

PARIS. Wednesday. .June IS.? Paris
opened its arms to Ceneral Pershing
and his staff this afternoon and wel- I
coined them with au outburst of spon- i
taneous enthusiasm such as only Paris j
is capable of. No conquering hero re- j
turning home could have hoped for or i
received such a tremendous reception
as greeted the American commander I
as his automobile sped through hun- I
dreds of thousands of cheering peo- i
ple. j
Paris, and particularly the French j
authorities, had planned and hoped for j
a great reception, hut it is doubtful
whether even ihe most optimistic pic
tured the almost frantic crowds that I
nil but blocked the progress of the
automobiles. Men and women cheered I
themselves hoarse, and flung masses j
of Mowers into the cars. Parisians tie- j
dare fhal the only event in their life- 1
time that approximates the reception j
in enthusiasm was that accorded to i
King Ceorge of England, in 1011. i
When the special train readied the.
station Ceneral Pershing and Field ?
Marshal .loffre were the first to up- j
pear. Hehind them came a siring of.
American officers, each with a French j
officer as liis host. The first shout of 1
welcome became a continuous roar i
that seemed to shake the station to its!
foundations. The police hurriedly be- [
gap to clear a lane through which half)
a dozen automobiles moved at a snail's :
pace through the frantic throngs.
From hundreds of windows Ameri- :
can flags were waved by men, women ]
and children. French girls with flags j
pinned to their breasts and their arms;
filled with flowers, bought from their l
scanty savings, fairly fought for a!
chance to gel near enough to the ma-[
chines to hurl their offering? into the
laps .and on the shoulders of the as
tonished American officers.
The Americans apparently had not j
Imagined the heights to which Parisian i
enthusiasm could arise Boys, men j
and girls, and even some old women.,
si niggled to jump on the running!
hoards of general Pershing's car to'J
shake hands with him
The demonstration was the more -ig- j
Tiiticatm -because it catne from a great
outpouring of people who for the time)
being seemed almost to have forgot-;
ten that war was in progress.
It was not Ceneral Pershing alone ;
who came in for unprecedented ova !
lions, but .every American caught sight !
of by the people was almost hardened ;
with flowers. I'rowds shouted them- i
selves hoarse with cheers for Ameri !
ca. From even housetop all along the ;
route, from every window, from every j
elevation, and from ?h" thousands ;
upotv thousands who choked every >
thoroughfare in the vicinitv of the line;
