SPEAKERS PAY HIGH TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN FLAG City Unites in Great Patriotic Ovation at Annual Exercises "The American flag stands for honesty, benevoleence, protection and everything that is right. It has brought about more good than all tournaments and crusades in history. This grand old banner enfolds laugh ter of children, the breath of love, the courage of manhood, the faith of age." No higher tribute to the American flag was possible than that given by Samuel B. Bare, of Altoona, prin cipal speaker last night at the Flag Day exercises at Reservoir Park. He held the big crowd from start to finish with his stirring patriotism and references to Old Glory. He scored a big hit with the members of the G. A.

He suid, in part: Leads All X'ations "This is the flag that has led ail other nations in the march of prog ress and the> humanities. It is the only flag that represents a people, not a monarch or savage. It will in the very near future usher in 1,000 years of peace." He concluded i with: "America will not quit now: she is in the war to implant the laws of humanity in every principality of the world."
