are against the principles for which
they died are enemies of mine and l

with Germany was premature" said
the speaker. 81 did not want an
armistice. I had seen that hell hole.

fighting and I came back to this
country to find lot of Americans

speaker made the statement forcibly

Frequently interrupted by vociferous
applause and at the conclusion OF
Ibis address was rendered an ovation
lasting several minutes while hun,
hundreds crowded to the platform to
shake his hand and to reaffirm their
appreciation of the sentiments ex.

some in the immense audience whose
predominant color is red but whose
backs are yellow, who failed to en-
thuse and did not join in the ovation
to the speaker.
