It is not entirely without significance that the American Legion was the most prominent thing in the parade, for it bore a strong resemblance to a Legion convention, with, however, one great...

The rum is mixed in a large tub around whose rim, in brass letters, are the words: "The King-God Bless Him." On the King's birthday all hands get a double ration of straight rum. First class petty officers get half...
