SYMBOLIZED IN THE FLAG.

Following is a bit wherein a young American describes to a pro-German the literal meaning of the American flag as it now should appear to all: The stars in our flag mean that the Hun will see, and feel the effects of, after we show them what Uncle Sam’s fighting men can do. The bars in our flag mean what the nro-German will be placed behind forever, if they disobey Uncle Sam Red in our flag means that the Germans will have to shed blood to gain a foothold on our soil. Blue in our flag denotes the clear blue sky that hangs over all Uncle Sam’s soldiers. - White in our flag denote* the white and true character of all his

loyal people. Chicago.
