Right is might. As soon as the news had reached'the upper floors of the Lipman, Wolfe & Co. store, the balconies facing the Teon building were crowded with clerks, who waved American and allied flags and cheered the soldier workers in the army headquarters across the street. At this the soldiers left their desks and went to the windows where they returned the greeting with a huge cheer. Soldiers .Parade Streeta They were immediately excused from work and soon the stpeet in front of the Yeon building became the .as sembling place for a small regiment of boys in uniform and they then started to parade in college lockstep fashion up and down the streets. A city official, however, drove up and requested the boys to disband as their celebration was creating . a crowded situation on the streets, which was directly in violation of the health de partment rules for prevention of in fluenza. "You'll have to pay your fare to Ber lin" was the taunt hurled at one nifty young officer, down on Broadway. "Well," he answered. "I don't care If I do.
