Tell us when. That la all we want to

This is the latest word from Brigadier
General W. J. Nicholson, concerning the
big patriotic demonstration In Philadel
phia at which Philadelphia soldiers are
to play tho stellar r'e.
Approximately 6000 men who will
have the honor of taking part In that,
demonstration, Individually and col
lectively, send a similar message, for
like their vcteian commander, they are
readv In fact, antlous to go back home
and demonstrate toTi grateful city how
they have developed from raw rookies
Into well-disciplined troops.
That tho plan struck a popular note,
eoes without caving, for every man In
the regiments 'that will participate Is
on tiptoe today. They want Philadelphia
to reach a decision quickly and complete
details for the parade So far as Gen
eral Nicholson Is concerned lie would
be willing to have the entire division go
to Philadelphia, on February 22, but
because that would necessitate the up
setting of the regular tralnlnr program,
such a plan cannot be executed.
Furthermore, It must be borne In mind
that only two organisations, namely the
313th Field Artillery and the HE Infan
try, are Simon-pure Quaker City units.
of the 313th Infantry, when discussing
the plan today, 'Every man In my
company Is very anxious to go," said
Captain Patterson, 'and I am certain
that every man would be benefited. The
bo)s have not been given an oppor
tunity to display their ability in tholr
home city, and now Is the time to ex
tend such an opportunity."
Although General Nicholson Is making
It possible for the city to see Ms gallant
soldiern In action, it is extremely doubt
ful whether he will be able to participate
Just who villi be given this honor Is
a question, and one that will Iiot be de
termined until General Nicholson re
ceives definite Information from Phila
delphia, concerning the parade plans.
That honor may be glien to Brigadier
General Hierard K. Hatch, qommander
of the 158th Infantry Brigade, which In
cludes tho 313th Infantry, or it may be
given to Brigadier General Andrew
Hero, Jr. who commands the ittth
Field Artillery Brigade, which Includes
the 3i:th
Whoever Is selected, Philadelphia will
have tho satisfaction of seeing n real
fighting rran In the saddle, for both com
manders are veterans of the Spanish
War and Philippine campaigns.
Heading the 315th Infantry will be
Colonel O B. Rosenbaum. one of the
senior colonels In the National Army and
a man who figured in many lively fights
with the Filipinos. Colonel James I'.
Brady, commander of the 313th Artil
lery, will go vi 1th Ills regiment, and a
single peep at this square-Jawed fighting
man will convince the Quakers that their
artillery men have an efficient leader.
