This was in tribute to the thousands Of
young Americans who have enlisted with

whom have already given their lives for
the cause"
In the first contingent, which numbered
5000 men, it is estimated that over one
third were Americana and the regularly
organized american Legion" has in
creased tremendously the liking OF Cana
dams for everything American.
Before the war started. and even after
1t had been in progress for some months.
there was marked antipathy in Canada
to everything American. and when In
motion pictures or on the stage the
American has was displayed It was sure
to be hissed
Through the influence of the American
Legion all this has been changed. and
