New York Oty.—The all-American ass meeting In and around Madison Square Garden was a tremendous dnnoustratlon of that brand of pa-triot..-in which is pure, undilated end unadulterated. Its success was unqualified and unhyphenated, the lavish spread of colo. only one flag was displayed—the S'srs and Stripe*. For once not even the ensigns of tlie Allies si wired In the decorative honors. The American legion gave Its answer to the -Rhine horror" propaganda in a tremendous nll-Ainc. Iran demonstration In which 23,000 persons, most of them war veterans, partici-

pated.

A bugler standing on the flag swathed speakers' stand at Madison Square Garden sounded “Taps” while 14,000 men nr.d women stood reverent-

ly at attention.

In the center of the main floor 000 gold-star mothers stood with their heads high In the beginning but bowed In their hands and bathed In tears as the poignant notes come to The silence ended in a sob that filled the auditorium. A moment later came the call: -On tills solemn night, filled with the Inspiration born of the 'nemorles of ga’lunt men. we have come to pledge ourselves that this nation shall yet hec««ne a land of the one tongue,

one ideal, one flag.

The answer was a passionate oat-

burst of cheering sed a frantic wavl ug of flags, and the all-Atr.eilcan ) meeting of the American Legion sad | e coalition of patriotic societies was under way. Not again during the eveI nlng could It he called "all-American;'' ; It was anti-German and nothing else.
