About 800 Americans came over
from Michigan, and during the day
carried the Stars and Stripes
through the streets without unfav
orable comment being elicited.
Tonight the Americans gathered
in front of a hotel, when some one
cried:
"To hell with Canada, she never
showed us jet."
Instantly the American flag,
owned by the Port Huron, Mich.,
Lodge, was torn from where it
waved in the breeze and was ripped
into ehreda and trampled under the
feet of an angry mob.
Port Huron Orangemen say they
did not resent it, as they believed
the insult to Canada was uncalled
for.

eee fishermen by Russians on the

village and escaped.
