    3. Buffalo Evening News Erie County, New York State August 3-1917 Guard to Parade in Gotham Thursday. New York.--New York will probably say farewell to its thousands of national guardsmen going to the training camps at Spartanburg, S.C., next Thursday. This announcement was made here to-day by Major General O'RYAN, commander of the 27th division, who said that plans for the parade to precede the departure of the troops were virtually complete. It is estimated that 30,000 soldiers will march over one of the longest parade routes in the city, from 110th street down Fifth avenue to Washington square. The usual length of the route, it was explained, had been decided upon in order that all friends and families of the soldiers might have front rank positions from which to view the parade. --- There have been reports that Buffalo national guardsmen would participate in the parade to be held in New York, but Colonel Arthur KEMP of the 74th infantry said this morning that he had received no orders on the subject. + Appeal for Smokes Meets Good Response. The 'News' is conducting a campaign to supply smokes to Buffalo boys who will go into the trenches in Europe. If the first contingents of American troops have used up all the available American tobacco, as reports indicate, what will happen when hundreds of thousands of men go from the United States, unless smokers remember the soldiers. It is certain that hundreds of young men will leave Buffalo, and a great many cigars, cigarettes and packages of tobacco are needed. Why not, then, when you are in the cigar store, pharmacy or confectionary shop to purchase tobacco or a smoke, buy an extra one and drop it in a 'News' box? Buffalonians are making generous response to the appeal for smokes. There still is an opportunity, however, for many others who have not contributed to do so and to continue to do so. + Marriage Licenses.
