At the first public observance of
Flag Day ever held in this city. Myer
kabatchnick, past exalted ruler of
Scranton Lodge No. 1913, Is. P. o. Elks,
creator of the days observance, be-
fore a vast throng assembled in Res
erVoir Park, made a stirring plea for
greater preparedness for war through
out the United States of America.
LAS we stand here today" said the
speaker, with thought. for our coun-
we cannot dim our eyes to the furious
struggle abroad, nor dull our ears to
the rumble of cannon and the death
song of, shot and shell beyond. the seas.
The people of other lands are writh-
ing in the agony of wars, perhaps the
most appalling in history; royalty and
peasant, castle and hut, are alike suf-
fering from the remorseless hand of
pain and death; men of the same
blood and kin are at one another; the
work of centuries are the prey of a
moments fury; and the golden wheat
fields of yesterday are the blood-soak-
ed backgrounds of today The boun-
teous harvests of other years are no
more. The seeds of war yield their
fruit in widows and orphans, in pain
and poverty and misery. Our sym
pathy goes out to the afflicted of all
nations, and our prayers go forth that
they may soon enjoy the blessings of
peace.
Urges Preparedness
Still, until there will be methods
for peacefully enforcing international
arbitration, there will be war, and
some will be righteous and some un-
righteous. and while we hope we may
with honor be spared the necessity of
becoming involved in any conflict, the
American people will have to be pre-
pared. if necessity compels, to en-
force their rights and maintain their
honor, with all the might and patriot
ism of their historic past.
And, until that day when interna-
tional arbitration shall be made prac-
ticahle through effective enforcement
OF international decrees-if we are
wise. we will instruct the men and wo-
men os our country somewhat in the
lessons of war and warfare. Some

of America, the art of handling a gun
ments of battle, of intrenchment and
tactics, on sea as we'll as land. Not
that we should become a military ma
ton, but that if occasion ever arose,
we would all know something of the
requirements of wartime. rather than
be raw recruits and novices
we must demonstrate as a nation
that we can make sacrifices for pos
terity, until all the world will look
with longing and admiration to this
land of freedom and it's flag, until
there will be no wavering in the des-
tiny and eternity of our nation and
its causes. until the voice of the peo-
pie will resound through the earth
with the praises and joy, the blessings
and patriotism of life under the folds
