Greensboro, Sept. 12—Parade of various units, filled with civilian volunteers and an address by Colonel Henry D. Styer, commander of the first American forces to land in Siberia, when a Red army under German command threatened to overrun that country, featured the national Defense test day celebration here.
In response to a proclamation of Mayor Claude Kiser, the streets are decorated with flags and this afternoon many places of business were closed for the parade and speaking.
