Canada Flies the Flags Of All the Allies.

Monticello Journal. Up in Canada we are recognized as a true ally of the nations engaged in -war with Germany and the American flag is given a place with the flags of all the allies in the decorations on newspaper and public buildings. iM. McFhee, who recently returned to his home in northwest Canada, near Fleming, after spending most of the winter in Monticello, has mailed _us clippings from Canada papers which shows the feeling there over the entrance of the United States into the great.war. Every day since the beginning of the war in manv parts of Canada the flags of all the allies have been intermingled and now Old Glory is with the rest. One paper prints a poem called “The Eagle Joins the Lion Brood,” reference being made to each flag of the entente nations. Old Glory is hailed thus: “Look, another flag is there, Rippling ’gainst the blue! The Eagle joins the Lion brood — Old Glory, hail to you! Rightly ranged with freedom’s flags, Hail to you on high! Welcome with your stars and stripes, To our Canadian sky.” Another pqper dairies a very large American flag in its col quins, printed in the well-known tri-colors, and with it a reproduction of James Rodman Drake’s immortal tribute to the flag.
