mttee OF the London Old Boys associa-
ton. today ordered down all American
flags in street decorations. Poles along
the main streets had been draped with
bunting and on top of each wore four
Canadian and four American flags, the
latter being included because many of
those returning to their home towns for
the Old Boys celebration are now resi-
dents and citizens Of the United States.
So much feeling developed II was feared
an unpleasant flag incident might occur.
Alderman Mitchell's action was sus-
tanned by the East London Progressive
association. which voted, after a warm
discussion to writo to the city council
