/ Situation Must Fail.
Remember that nearly 300 years
ago the Pilgrim fathers crossed the
ocean to peacefully achieve peace
that $50 years later they were forced
to fight for liberty-that 81 years later
they had to fight to retain II; that so
years ago and TO this very day they
foolishly lost and have thrown away
their liberty; that such semblance Of
/ liberty as we Of the United States of
America possess is by the sufference
of nations to the east and west OF US
/ Can this situation continue and we{be
respected? Are We to be guided by
/ sycophants? III so, We shall meet the
logical end OF sycophants.
The problem is not one of varied
synpathies for others, or interference
in the national family relations Of
other nations. but whether our nation
al independence, manhood and self.re-
spect shall prevail.
Keep your private and public
spirits wise, simple, clean and just
Keep your own right arm. and that of
your own country, the United States

The principal address OF the evening
was by Capt Paul B. Malone, I'd In
fantry. U. S. A. He said in part:
Nearly three centuries have pass
ed since the occurrence of the events
which We are gathered here tonight
! TO commemorate. To others naturally
falls the privilege of presenting the
civic aspect of this historic period; to
me the honor of dwelling upon the
part played by the military in the
great drama, the first act of which
was staged on the rock at Plymouth.
The role of the military was indeed
important and dramatic. Down in the
cabins Of the Mayflower when she
found herself off the inhospitable
coast near Cape Cod instead OF New
Jersey, to which she was bound, in
the miserable huts Of the Pilgrims dur
! ing that first terrible winter when
half their number perished through
hunger and disease, the dominating
character who gave courage to all
about him was Miles Standish, the
stout-hearted soldier, famed alike in
song and story. In those early days,
indeed, every settler was a rifleman,
but by mutual consent a portion of
each community was organized as CO.
lonial militia and stood ready at a mo-
ments notice to take the field against
the enemy.
Organized Protection Necessary.
Thus between the savage and the
settler stood the soldier, armed and
ready to give his life that others might
live. The atrocities Of the Indians
soon made organized retaliation neces-
sary, and less than II years had pass
ed In the history of the Plymouth col
ony when we find the adjacent tribes
/ combining to exterminate the hated
l white man, and hang their scalps over
the doors of their tepees.
Recalls Early Struggles.
! "lI this rough school of experience
were produced the men of iron soul
who constituted the beginnings OF the
American army and the founders of
the republic. So It was that the
DEGREES of kings and queens from
their gilded thrones across the wide
Atlantic sounded like silly gatherings
to the ear Of the colonist as, with
flint lock strapped across his back,
he felled the virgin forest to make a
stockade for the protection of his wife
and babies against the attack of skulk.
i ne savages There was no room here
for the artificialities of kingly rule,
1 hut the old country did not recognize
lit
And Just as a place for bare exist
ence on the soil of America had been
ern the new domain in defiance of the
king made laws which had triumphed
over the inherent rights Of man since
the beginning of recorded time, must
be won by the same agency. Only by
violence and bloodshed does it seem
possible to tear the shackles from the
limbs of suffering humanity"
After referring eloquently to the
| Revolutionary and Indian wars, he
closed with the following ringing
words:
The Lesson Of Today.
