Revnolds of Newport, Norwich Lodge of Elks, No. 430, conducted public Flag Day 'exercises on Friday evening at 8 o'clock on the lawn in front of the Elks home on Main ‘street with a crowd approaching 1,500 people grouped on the lawn and on Main and Park streets within hear- ing. distance of the speakers. A selection by the band from the Submarine Base under director Schultz opened the impressive exgrcises and “Old Glory’ was unfurled from the flag staff on the lawn by Miss Mar- garet E. Purdon as.the band played The Stars and Stripes and the entire assemblage stood at attention. -This part of the exercises was closed by the firing of a volley, by @ squad from ‘Company K, Captain Charles A. Hag- berg, Connecticut State Guard, the| entire company standing in line along the west side of the vard. Exalted Ruler James J. Casey pre- sented Mayor Jeremiah J. Desmond. who said that it was eminently fitting that we should gather to comemorate the origin of the flag that has ever floated stainlessly over the free and the brave typifying the spirit of our great republic. Under this flag our boys are mow cngaged in a struggle that we may pass down to posterity undimmed the heritage that we have received from the past, and in this struggle our flag never will be furled until the cause in which our young men are engaged shall triumph over autoeracy and tyranny. Judge Nelson J. Ayling, past ex-| alted ruler, read the Eiks tribute to} the flag_and after another selection by the band Brother Al Craig Taylor sang “America” with stirring spirit and in fine voice that carried to the extreme limits of the crowd. The| band rendered the accompaniment. Collection For Red Cross. At the request of the Biks; women from Norwich Chapter of the Red| Cross, under the direction of Mrs. Frank L.

Our flag is the oldest flig in the world todey And Our Country, though we think young and.new, is the oldest un- changed form of government in the How rap other governments have changed. Since our birth as a nation, France has been three times a republic and twice an empire. Spain. Holland, Norway and Sweden have been sub-divided and re- united. Persia and Turkey have vielded to democratic tendencies. The flag of Japan is only a little over a half cen- tury old, Russia and China, the oldest and most absolute of monarchies, have recently become republics. We may indeed take pride in the Suecess and endurance of this great experiment in government of the people, by the peo- ple and for the people. Waves Over 100,000,000, But marvel at the growth of our country in thése 141 years. Old Glory then sheltered under its folds, less than three millions of immigrant pion- eers, They were crowded on this storm-tossed Atlantic coast. Today this same banner is carried over a vast continent of 3,000 miles. It protects over one hundred millions of people; the strongest, richest and one of the largest nations the world has ever seen. From ocean to ocean, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, it binds in lovalty and devotion these millions of peonle. It has even cgrried our con- stitution to the Philippines—it waves above the Hawaiian Islands—its colors may be seen by the light of the midnight sun in the northermost Alaska. Streng United National , Spirit. They have called us a mere melting vot, filled with streams from eve corner of Europe. They said we were a patchwork of a nation—we had no bond of national feeling. We wers merely hastily and faultily _stitched together by high sounding phrases of political equality. We had no na- tional ideals, no national aspirations and therefore, no national spirit. My friends, Is there a nation in the world today whose ideals are so uni- form as ous? Is there a people so nearly alike? Is there a united national spirit so_strong? From Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate there lives a restless and pro- gressive .people with only one lan- guage. one literature and one law. True, there’ arc in our large cities, crowded foreign quarters, but how racn do they mingle in the great Ocean F. | home.

The children of those foreigners soon leave the crowded quafters and’ mix with the great flood of Americans. They aban- don forever the squal'd pority of those Sections with their privations and hardships, ‘their jnarrow ‘and-‘cramped ideals, their petty prejudices—the heri- tag: of oppression, and misrule. And what a change is brought about! In a short time you can't tell the foreign born from. the native sqq. Read the names on the casualty lists and you'll get the flavor of the history of every small feudal state in Europe. But try to fasten the names on their owners and you can't do it, because there is no mark of race or birth, The American people are more nearly. aliks than the pedple of any other great nag tion. More so than the German, for it is easy to tell the flaxen-haired Prussian from the square-shouldered, black- browed Bavarian. In Great Britain no- body mistakes the Scotchman for the Irishman. ‘You wouldn't have to trav- €l long in Ttaly before you could dis- tinguish the inhabitant of Florence or Geneva from the Neopolitan_or Sicil- ian.

Where. ever you find a community of Amer cans, whether in Old New England or on the plains of Texas, or in the moun- tains of Tdaho, or on the genial coa: of California, you will immediately observe American ideals of fair play and equal rights.

And What a Proof We Gave Recently of Our Natignal Spirit. une cleven millions of vounz Americans stepped forth from the ranks of the people on the same to defend the flaz.

America proved to the world he had a spirit. My friends, they have of things about us lately. They hurt our reputation before the world. Thev said that we were not united: 'that we had no’ prnciples worth fizhtinz for: that we possessed mo chivalr that we would avoid war at any prica that we wouldn’t give up trade to take up arms for our rights; that had been ‘buried in Bunker Hill and Lexington and Con- cord. Feudalism said these things to Democracy—a, feudalism that had it- self out-lived all serse of honor, all feelings of humanity and all usefuiness of society, tauntngly smeered at De- mocracy. i ul ceremonics | Could Not Sacrifice National Honor. forced us into war. You know They why we entered. It was not to en- croach on the sacred rights of others, { free, and ‘for the sacred rights of men everywhere. Was not that what our flag siood for? We cou'd not sacrifice national honor. We must halt the } march of death, {the wotid the flood gates of life, glorious ife of liber so_long enjoyed. was not that ¢ which we had ustice .was our and justice alone would win Was ever a land more wor- of our love and esteem? God’'s Own Land. Our republic was founded by men who firmly believed in God. Our Dec- laration of InGependence that all men are createq equal, that they are en- dowed by their Creator with inaliena- ble rights ‘means God. Every message of our president means God. Every oath of allegiarce and office from the president down means God. Our very coin on which is engraved “In God We Trust” means God. Tn our public zatherings we always invoke God's blessing. Truly it is God’s own land. Here we have freedom of conscienca and worship. It matters not how many creeds flourish in the shadow of Old Glory. They are all united in Amer- icanism, patriotism and loyalty to flag and country. So if an alien enemy that puts aside God and justice invades our national rights, we are bound in conscience to rise up and vindicate our honor. We have no patience with the snarling critics of our coutry and our govern- ment at this time. They dishonor the flag and all it stands for. Our presi- dent is today confronted with issues o tremendous, that it takes super- human courage to face them, and a great mind to solve them.

Old Glory then is emblematic of the srowth of Democracy, of the power of Liberty, of the’ final triumph ‘of. the principles of -humanity. It spurns the distinction of rank and the tyranny of the strong. It is an emphatic protest against the doctrine that might make right, that some with hammer and sword can impose their will on oth- ers. Democracy must now, it seems, dem- onstrate its right and ils power to live. 1f military autocracy is strong and ef- | ficient enough to impose its will on nations, then democracy must go, ani men must be ruled by force.. De- mocracy can only survivie by proving it is stronger, that it has a stronger hold on the hearts and minds an1 purses of its citizens, than feudalism. Free Government Cannot Perish. We are Americans enough to believe | that free gdvernment cannot perish | from the earth. that Americans today are imbued with the Spirit of 1776, ani are ready to devote their ‘lives, their| fortunes “and their sacred honor on| the altar of their country’s ciuse. | Tt was the idea of freedom of op-| nertunity and freedom: of action that drove to our shores, liberty loving men | of eevry land and clime. Loyalty to!f America today is not a matter of race| or creed, or both. It is a matter of | heart. The true American is true to America’s ideals. The immigrant's son | when he puts on the khaki uniform and shoulders a rifie and marches away, is just as zoed an American aui the man who counts six generations to the Pilgrim fathers.
