OFFICIAL REVIEW OF CO. M

Many People Present to Witness Military Maneuvers. Quito a large crowd turned out Wednesday evening to witness the official review and public parade of Company M at Riverside park, but the announcement was made such a short time before that many did not know of»t|ie event. The parade was a revelation to many of those present who had not before seen the troops in action. In the reviewing stand was Lt. Col. George H. Healey and Major H. B. Tuteur with C. A. Tuteur, former battalion lieutenant, acting in that capacity. Company M was divided into four divisions, and these were commanded by Captain Jerry B. Garland, - First Lieutenant Watson, Second Lieutenant Nowels and Sergeant Warren. Many of the drills and maneuvers of war were gone through, and were genuinely appreciated by all present, who little thought it possible to mold sucffi an efficient body of men from so many raw recruits in such a short time.
