/ 81 SD Iguace
Mr.. Browns address was master
piece he dwelt upon the signif-
cance OF the day; what II means tc
the Legion members, what it meani
10 those who were in the second
ranks, the men and women at home.
and what II means 10 the world In
general. AZ Mr.. Brown proceeded
/ with his discourse. as he drew out the
meaning OF the day in eloquent, but
simple language, that all who listened
might have no difficulty in compre-
hending his meaning he was listened
TO with great interest by the large
audience and his climaxes were
roundly applauded.
The address was a scholarly one
and the speaker handled his subjec
logically and impressively. The great
thought that he left with his audience
was that no matter what the peace
treaty may contain, the object for
which the boys fought and the peo-
pie sacrificed was won and won so
positively that what our men did IN
France can never be undone.

two eloquent appeals that brought

vocacy OF deportation was roundly
cheered by all. especially by the Am
erican Legion members. Mr.. Mortar.
tvs second plea was for the Red
Cross He told OF the necessity for
the continuance OF that agency ir
Europe for time at least. and asked
that everyone enroll as a member for
the coming year.
