Soldiers Released In Fort McInish Arrival Parade
About 2,500 new soldiers who arrived at Fort McInish in the past two weeks were released from quarantine and allowed to roam Laredo. Most came via Illinois, with a few Creek Indians and Indiana men, joining infantry hospital and other units. They flocked to town at 7 pm to visit refreshment parlors, motion picture shows, and plazas as warm weather encouraged outdoors. The rookie crowd, seen as the new riff of the draft, drew locals’ welcome amid joking banter about street sightseeing and chilly weather. Deputy Collector Mary C. Devine sets June 14 as auction date for seized goods at the port’s customs house.
