rhe answer to the Horrors on the
psjuer mass meeting was voiced by
1900 persons in Madison Square
c.raen last night. Ten thousand more
satside in the open air made the same
reply.
ii repudiated Mayor Hylan for per-
sitting the pro-German demonstration
d be held. 1t greeted with deafen-
~ chorus of Kisses a mention of DR..
sdmond yon Mach, the promoter of
:se Horrors meeting. 1t condemned
syphenism, linked German propa-
,sn.iyts with pulling pacifsts," "be-
sjldsred Bolshevists" and Sim Fein
ssitators.
The meeting broke into a pro-
lsnsed outburst of patriotic fervor
vhen Martin W. Littleton, pointing to
General John ]. Pershing seated near
II on the speakers platform, de-
dared that. the only mistake the
Allies had made was that they had
not marched to Berlin to perfect a
Potsdam peace instead of Yer
aes armistice.
Two hundred patriotic and civic or
CARNATIONS joined with the American
Legion to give a fitting rebuke to the
German meeting held in the Garden
On February %, and to condemn the
holding Of any further ''poIyglot
propaganda and to spread Theodore
Roosevelt's gospel, cone tongue, one
country and one flag" 1t was called
an all-American meeting in contrast
10 the German event.
