that wanted to 60 than had been re-

The procession that formed at the

Mayor Flint presided at the meet
ing in Elks' hall. He introduced as
speaker Ex-senator Steel, who said,
in opening his address, that the oc-
casion was one of the most impress
sive that he had ever experienced. We
are all on one plane, we realize, when
such time comes. There is the
side of grief, the transient side. But
there is also the side of reality, the
side that persuades us that the strug-
gle now being waged is one that will
make human liberty reality. To
that task America was dedicated and
American sons are faithful.

other lands.

county are very dear to u.s." said Mr..

them is all the wealth, resources,
skill, and above all. the spirit Of
America, and that It is the Ameri-
can spirit that is going to carry the.
war thru to successful termination.
