HUGHES RAPs DIVIDED LOYALTY
Justice Makes Address at Washington
to Young Woman Graduates.

Washington.-In the seclusion OF
the National Cathedral school lawn,
where he was presenting an American
flag to the honor graduate, Justice
Charles e. Hughes on June made his
first public address since the opening
OF the preconvention campaign. He
told the young women graduates that
the flag meant America first, an un-
divided allegiance, and a nation unit
ed and equal to its tasks"
This flag means more than associa-
ton and reward" said the justice, 1T
is the symbol of our national unity,
our national endeavor, of our national
aspiration. 1t tells you of the struggle
for independence; of the union pre-
served; of liberty and union, one and
inseparable; of the sacrifices of brave
men and women to whom the ideals
and honor of this nation have been
dearer than life.
1T means America first; 1t means
an undivided allegiance. 1t means
America united, strong and efficient,
equal to its tasks. 1t means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and de-
votion of your ancestors that to each
generation comes its patriotic duty,
and that upon your willingness to sac
rifice and endure, as those before you
have sacrificed and endured, rests the
national hope"

the letter states, "but we are armed
