ing, speaking before a crowd which
packed Madison Square Garden at
one of the greatest patriotic demon.
strations here since the signing OF the
armistice, bitterly denounced persons
Of foreign birth who seek the free
dom of this country to spread "polit.
ical and warlike propaganda" to
weaken the ties of friendship between
the United States and her allies in
the late war.
The meeting was held under the
auspices OF the American Legion and
other patriotic societies as a protest
against the recent mass-meeting ar
ranged to voice objection to the pres
ence Of French colonial troops in oc-
cupied Germany, described as "Fhe
Horror on the Rhine"
Fifteen minutes before the meeting
was called to order by Col. Frank
GaIbraith, Jr., national commander OF
the American Legion, the Fire De-
partment officials ordered the doors OF
the Garden closed. More than $4,000
persons were then packed into the
structure, while thousands swarmed
around the building, frantically en-
deavoring to enter.
General Pershing, paying tribute to
foreign-born citizens who served
under him in the Philippines, Mexico
and France, declared it was entirely
proper that foreigners should cling
to the folklore, literature and music
of their native land, but he assailed
those who seek to dictate American
questions and political policies by the
standards of their countries.
I'VE have no quarrel with the
American of foreign BIRTH he said.
I'VE want them to know that Amer
icanism is an inspiration, that it is
something spiritual, goal toward
which we aim. But we do object to
the foreign-born citizen who attempts
to decide an American question for
a foreign reason, whether he be OF
German lineage and proposes to de.
termine an American policy because
of German prejudice, or whether he be
Irish, Italian, Hungarian or Russian,
who seeks for similar reasons to de-
eide American questions.
II bitterly resent the abuse OF
American citizenship or residence fol-
the purpose of political or warlike
propaganda in foreign countries.
'In America there can be no place
for those who while claiming equal
citizenship with us and enjoying its
privileges under our flag yet continue
their allegiance to another country
There can be no such thing as dua
citizenship in America. Under nc
guise can this country be made the
breeding place Of intrigue"

Stockholm.-Details Of the fall of
Kronstadt before the repeated on

command of Leon Trotzky, the Soviet
War Minister, have been brought here

In the citadel, according to the
refugees, some 100 men were left en-.

leaders among the military forces and
civilians were Immediately picked out
and on Trotzky's orders, given before
the final attack, were executed.
Their bodies were thrown on the ice
Of the Gulf Of Finland with stones
and scrap iron in the pockets so that
they will sink when the dee breaks
up, probably fortnight hence. All
the other rebel soldiers interned are
awaiting the future which, according
to the refugees, most likely will bring
executions AS food is scarce and the
victorious Soviet army is on half ra.

easily understandable, the refugees
point out.

young, man or woman, with or with

was hunted up by the Bolsheviki was
killed Immediately, the refugees as

being given.
The town of Kronstadt suffered Sc.
verely. At the beginning of the re.
treat by the insurrectionists big fires
were burning in five places, but by
Friday no smoke or fire could be seen.
The stream of refugees from Kron.

patches received from Terioki, on the
Finnish frontier, at 4 o'clock this aft.
ernoon. Only few men arrived this
morning after an adventurous night
clad in white, and with badly wounded
hands sustained in creeping for miles
along the ice in order to escape de-
lection by the many Bolshevik patrols.
The Bolsheviki, the refugees say. have
established a circular chain of sen.
tries and patrols around Kronstadt,
through which it is impossible to
break.
Kronstadt had big stores of army
equipment, which explained the good
attire of the soldiers and sailors. ar
riving in Finland. The latter coun-
try will have great difficulty in feed

she must import more than two-thirds
Of the grain and -four consumed. With
exchange rates unfavorable, keeping
