Asheville, Sept. 12—Loyal support to the ideals of national defense day were exhibited today in Asheville with the outpouring of thousands of citizens to witness the test parade and hear the address of General A.J. Bowley, U.S.A., the principal speaker at the mass meeting of the city auditorium.
The parade was one of the most successful ever held in the city and the mass formation which followed it on Battle Square was also well attended. The public meeting and address of General Bowley followed the mass gathering on the square being held shortly after 11 o’clock.
Patriotic civic and veterans’ organizations joined in the parade and with them were thousands of school children.
