Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States: Addresses Delivered at Banquet to the Commandery-in Chief at the Hollenden Hotel, Cleveland, O.; October 9th, 1912 Dr. Harris R. Cooley - Mr. Toast-master, members of the Loyal Legion, and their guests and friends, I regret very much that Mayor Baker is not able to be present in person to welcome you to Cleveland. But I count it an honor that the pleasure has fallen to me to welcome you to our fair city. I want to ex plain to you that the weather bureau is managed at Washington and that the municipality of Cleveland has nothing to do with it. What memories are here tonight of the crisis which con fronted our country, of the call which came to service, of the decision to obey that call, of the parting from friends and homes, of the going to the front, of the noise and strife of battle, of the wounded and of the dead - what memories are here tonight gath ered under these gray hairs, about these tables! And then, when the war was over, and following the greatest of all our generals, came the words, Let us have peace, and the blue and the grey came together not to fight, but they are here to dine in a fellow ship I think unequaled in the history of the world - the people who led the battles have become the advocates of peace. And then there followed the growth and prosperity of our land, made possible by this sacrifice, a growth and prosperity beyond the dreams of all of our prophets of the past.
