BY RAYMOND LINDEMAN

When the American boy of today
looks at our flag and thinks of what it
means, he is at first filled with a
thrilling pride of our great American
country; but on thinking further,
that pride changes to doubt. Just
what does it mean to be an Ameri-
can?
To the loyal patriots of IT'S, Ameri-
ca meant freedom, independence, and
the right to rule themselves. To the
men of 1872, America meant land
that had proved itself worthy of a
trust, and something to be loved,
honored and respected. To the sturdy
pioneers with their faces turned to-
ward the Western horizon, America
meant a land Of expansion, riches, and
destiny. To Lincoln and the brave
men of the Civil War, America meant
a nation Of the people, by the people,
and for the people" with justice as
its foundation and freedom as its
motto. To the down-trodden immi-
grants from Europe, America doomed
as land of hope, of prosperity, and
of peace. To Theodore Roosevelt and
the Americans of his time, America
was great wide country spreading
from sea to sea and respected by the
world as great power. To the
struggling armies of Europe during
the last war, America seemed a saw
Tor in time of distress, glorious land
of liberty ready to sacrifice every
thing for the cause Of justice and
right, and real friend in time Of
