'iheie are three hundred and sixty five days in the year when the Amer ican flag should be revered and honor ed, but it seems very proper that there t-hould be some one day set apart .nen we pay special homage to the flag of our country. This flag was lilted to it's placed of high honor by the death of men and the sacrifice of women.

This fight, centered on the hospitalization of men in ".-can ditlously unfit places, with half of those needing it not hospitalized at all," a system "rotten to the core," with responsibility fixed upon no one, brought about the passage of t he Sweet bill. l!y forcing the passage of the Sweet bill, the Legion caued the formation of the U.

Mr. Forbe was prom ised, the Weekly declaies, complete co-operation with the ex-soldier or ganization The Legion undertook to withhold public criticism and to fus tend judgement until Mr. Foibes had been given the opportunity to untangle the skein.
