WALTER p. MILLER
On Amerlcanlzatlon

OTHE light of Americanism cannot be
i hidden under a bushel; 1t must be set
up high. SO that its rays can penetrate and
dispel the darkness Of ignorance.
This is the statement Of Walter L. Miller,
chairman of the Americanization committee
of the Chamber of Commerce, who in dis
cussing this city's observance of All-Amerl-
can Day said:
"The citizens Of Philadelphia. through
the medium of great mass meeting anrll
Z, expressed their loyalty to their country
and their government.
1T was n fitting answer to the element OF
radicalism that dares TO fiaunt itself IN inc
public eye throughout the country. Such
meetings as the American Legion has under
taken. supported by the many other organi
cations Of the city. are bound to rout radi i
calsm. to strengthen those who may be
wavcring in their attitude toward the gov;
ernment and bring to the front the loyal and
true Americans, whether native or foreign
born,

series with the exception that Mar
shallton was allowed TO add Coyle
and Morgan. Both OF these men were
eligible according to an explanation
by Leroy Steele. president OF the

been mislaid by the secretary Of the

game with only nine men on hand.
Both the National Guards and

two pitchers. Both Reds Hayward
