Ilishment of proper means to maintain
peace, and the prevalence of a friend.
ly and peaceful disposition among the
people that would induce them to for.
get local preiudices and policies, max
ing mutual concessions, and, in GER
tain cases, sacrificing their personal
advantage to the interest of the com
munity.
1T may be said that these principles
of our Declaration of Independence,
and the warnings of General Washing
ton are the foundations upon which
the republic of the United States of
America was constructed, and is
maintained, and that its flag, for our
citizens, symbolizes all Of them.
American children, upon the awak-
ening Of their intelligence, are taught
in the home and in the school what
their flag signifies, so that before they
have reached mans estate they have
already pledged, as their revolution
airy fathers did before them, their
lives, fortunes and sacred honor in
support and defense of that emblem
and all that it embodies.
THE Americans know that the Gu
bans are imbued with the same rev.
.erence, love and respect for the Gu
ban flag. They know that thousands
of noble and brave Cubans sacrificed
their lives, and fortunes in defense
of ideals similar to those that guided
Washington and his comrades; and
we, today, who enjoy the hospitality
and benefit of this rich, beautiful and
historical country, believe that there
cannot arrive a more opportune day
than the Fourth of July, signifying
what it does for us, nor a more ap-
propriate token, than the Cuban ma
tional flag, symbohzing what it does
for the Cubans, to offer as a testimony
of their friendly sentiments and good
wishes for the prosperity of your re-
public, your people and your army.
In behalf of those who offer this
token, pray you, General, to accept
as a pledge of friendship and good
will they feel for you, your people and
your army.
And finally desire to state that it |
is our sincere hope that these flags
which we offer to your army today
may never be unfurled in war, that
the Cubans and their children, and the
and their children may al
ways be able to look to them as en-
blems of peace, justice and honor, and
If that unfortunate and unavoidable
should arrive when they must
be unfurled on the field of battle, may
they by the side of the American
flag, defend those principles, ideals
and sentiments common to both.
Now, daughters of Americans. de-
liver to the sons of Cubans, these Gu
ban national flags and the regimental
colors that accompany them, so that
they may be delivered to the general
in command of the Cuban army, who
may receive them for the army under
his command and the people of Cuba"

Plrenokosmiam and Adelphic Boys
Play But One Half--Latter's
Girl Team Is Victor.

After the Adelphic society girls
team had defeated the girls of the
Phrenokosmian society last night in
the anual inter-society contest at
Augustana college, the game between
the boys teams of the two rival or
ganiZations broke up in a small sized
riot growing out of a flag rush during
the intermission between the first
and second halves. When the melee
was finally quelled, the basket at.the
south end of the gymnasium had
been broken and torn from its fas-
Jennings, making it impossible to con-
tinue the game.
Because only one half had been
played. Referee Franks called the con-
test &" no game" He asserted that
he had no jurisdiction to place the
blame for the trouble .and award the
game inasmuch as the rush took
place during the intermission be-
tween the halves. The score stood
Il to IL in favor of the Phreno play
ers at the end of the first half.
CoIors start "a Riot.
The trouble started just as the
players We're taking the floor for the
second half. Alvin Anderson, a mem
Der of the Adelphic society climbed
the bars at the south end of the
gym" and fastened a red and white
Adelphic pennant just over the Adel-
phic basket. Exasperated by the
uh Of rix
Phreno members Immediately made
a rush for Anderson in an effort to
pull him down.
While some Phrenos were trying 10
scale the bars to reach Anderson,
others were using the basketball as
a missile of warfare to compel him
to evacuate from his commanding
position. The engagement became
general and the crowd added to the
excitement by it's yells. Every Phreno
who attempted to reach the man with
the pennant was Immediately assail-
ed by Adelphians and pulled down.
At one time the Phreno men had sue
ceeded in forming a human tower
but it was undermined and collapsed.
Finally in their desperation to reach
Anderson they began to scale the
wall with the aid of the basket.
Tear Down the Basket.
The Adelphians seized them inn
mediately and in the struggle that
followed the basket collapsed precip-
itating the combatants to the floor
This put an end to the struggle, for

the floor. 1T was quickly passed
from one member to another and fl
nally disappeared.
A few personal alterations took
place and some blows were exchang-
ed, but otherwise no i'll feeling was
displayed between the members of
the rival societies in the rush" Ev-

Orders were sent out today to the

ers were given their formal order to

to those whose contracts called for

of the most pessimistic fan. Jack

but they all know that they have to

Best TwirIing STAFF Ever.
The pitching staff looks to be
about the best that this city has ever
had at the opening of the year. There
are II men signed as twirlers and
none are unknowns. The old stand
bys in the persons of Wilson, Neal,
Lakaff, Scott and Howard are still
with the Islanders and in addition
to these are such men as Harden
whose chances of going to the majors
at the end of the season appear very
bright, Raymond Webster, the east
ern man whose reputation is second
to none of the new men, Walter War
rem another mighty good man and
besides these there are such men as
Mike Herrick, Whitney Powers, and
]. w. Schifferli, all of whom have
shown that they have the goods. II
is no wonder that Jack Tighe feels
reluctant at having to allow some OF
these men to go to other clubs, as
will have to be done.
