Streets Named For Heroes Proposed In San Antonio Letter
A San Antonio Chamber of Commerce secretary urges renaming streets to honor fallen World War I heroes. Main Avenue could become Ogden Avenue to memorialize a captain who died in action, with other streets bearing names of democracy’s martyrs to keep the memory alive in the city. The idea aims for low cost and public familiarity as a lasting tribute. In other news, Austro-German prisoners are to be transported to France as internment powers are asserted, with Admiral Gros Amet directing transport.
