hearers to put into the hands OF the
American boys returning from Franc

teract a lot OF this religious Junk which
has been handed out that isn't worth
three whoops this side OF Hoboken."
He termed the Bolshevlki, I. W. W.
IND other radicals a dirty bunch" and.
~clenching his fists, he cried that he was
