Paraded Minneapolis streets an
hour or so, in a snowstorm, yesterday, to
celebrate the anniversary of the War and
the opening of the L. L. [drive?]. Gov. Burnquist,
Maj. Gen. Swinton of the British Army (said to
be the inventor of the "Tank") our Colonel and
a bunch of Canadian, British, U.S.G. and
U.S.N. officers [reviewed?] the parade. Lots of
joy! Heard the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonic Society (190 voices) put on Mendelsohn
Elijah this afternoon. It was fairly beautiful.
David Warfield is to be here in the "The Music Master" this week. Don't see how I can miss it.
Next week "Private Peat" is to Talk.
Our Regiment (that is the officers) are
beginning to call this the crack home guard paraders, and threaten to buy green hat cords. Major Farrell has been ordered to "an Atlantic Port" to join a battalion bound for France. He is the seventh officer to
