...uniformed men could be seen only when they emerged from the multitude along Boylston street as the column swung into Park square. Presently a flag came floating along in full view above the throng. It seemed a living presence--a radiant embodiment visualizing the impelling cause of the unseen array. Men and boys bared their heads. "Why don't women find some way to salute that flag?" a feminine voice was heard to ask, somewhere amid the shoulders round about...
This whole haphazard business must stop now. A few more such occurrences will show us unworthy of the Government's patronage, for we do not want to have the R. O. T.
