Americanism of . the truest type per
rotated all through end radiated from
the anniversary banquet of the. Elk

The foreign-bom citizen, no matter

,wbose : lore ' for the country of his
adoption did not far overshadow that
which be might entertain for hie . fath
ers land would not hare been happy
In that gathering. It was not that any
thing was said that would offend hint
but. that he would hare felt out of
llace. The order of Elks Is typically
and essentially an American order
and. the banquet on Saturday evening
was typically American as well. Un
doubtedly It was the entrance of the
nation into war that made the Dree of
patriotism leap, into a great and con
quering flame, From the first notes
of the ' Star Spangled Banner played
by the orchestra, almost at the outset
of the banquet until the last note of
music died away and 'the last word
waa spoken American patriotism' com -
