unsteadily to the back door and let
herself in. She threw herself on the
bed and lay there, rapidly thinking 1t
was obvious that her absence had not
been commented upon. A few min
utes later she heard the voice of Mrs.
McNash singing out: "You folks kin
all come in an eat" and found her
self, outwnrdly calm, making her way
around to the shed addition which
served Jointly as Kitchen and dining

When she entered the place Flctch

sagged over his plate with the stupid

The RIGHTS OF
THE AMERICANS
PEACE PROPAGANDA BEING
SENT OUT DOES MORE HARM
THAN GOOD. IT is SAID.

A great deal of so-called "peace
propaganda" is being sent out to the
newspapers at this time, with the re-
quest for its publication. A great
deal of this comes from the society
which has named itself The Friend of
Peace, and great deal of it has a
decidedly pro-German color, but the
following resolutions drafted by the
friends of Peace, and which will be
presented at the National Peace Con-
vention in Chicago, which convenes
September SO, have much to COM
mend:
Resolutions condemning Americans
who imperil their nation by sailing
on English munition ships merely to
win plaudits of English society and
secure introduction into English
court circles were drafted by the
Publicity Committee of The Friends
of Peace today and will be presented
to the National Peace Convention in
Chicago, September 5 and for adop-
ton. The resolutions state:
Whereas, A state of war exists
between Germany and England and
English munition vessels engaged in
the traffic of war materials to kill
German soldiers have been frequently
sunk by German torpedo boats, and
Whereas, A war zone has been
declared in the waters encircling the
British Isles and it has been declared
dangerous to travel on vessels, espec-
tally English vessels, engaged in car
rying contraband of war, in the said
war zone, and
Whereas, There are American yes
sells abundant to carry all passenger
traffic between Europe and America
at this time, and our people have
been assured that passengers may
travel on American passenger vessels
under the American flag in perfect
safety, and
Whereas, English society has
made it practice to smile on wealthy
Americans who travel on English
munition ships, and has invariably
secured their introduction into court
circles, and
whereas, we recognize 1t as our
national duty to uphold the honor of
the American flag, and to guarantee
the safety of all who seek protection
under the flag when used in its legit-
innate purposes, and we pledge our
lives in the defense of the American
flag, and
Whereas, British munition ships en-
gagged in carrying implements of war
to kill German soldiers do not said I'M
der the American flag, but under the
British flag, and
Whereas, This country not being

a British possession, we are in no
wise obligated to look to the protec-
ton of the British flag, and England
has no right to call on US for help
IN protecting the British flag, Now
Therefore Be 1t
Resolved, That this Committee of
The Friends of Peace do hereby de-
plore the conduct of wealthy Ameri-
cans who so willfully jeopardize the
safety of our nation by travelling on
British munition ships at this time
of war between Germany and Eng
land, and be it
Resolved, That we call the atten-
ton of these wealthy Americans to
the fact that it is we-the common
people-who vii be forced to do the
fighting and bear the brunt of the
terrible struggle if this nation should
be drawn into war with Germany, and
that many thousands of our lives
would have to be sacrificed, and be
it further
Resolved, That our national pride
makes us appreciate the high social
recognition that English society sees
fit to bestow on our society leaders,
but we do not think it right for our
wealthy classes to imperil the lives
of our people and the safety of our
nation in order to secure such social
recognition, and we do not think it
right that our Government should
call on our sons to sacrifice their
lives in such cause, and be it
further
Resolved, That we most respect
fully and earnestly beseech and i'm
plore the wealthy people of our nation
to consider the awful toll of life and
misery that would be demanded if
their actions should draw this nation
into war, and be it further
Resolved, That we beg of them
for the sake of our sons whom we
love and are willing to sacrifice for
the nations honor, that they desist
from travelling to and from Europe
on British ammunition ships, and in
stead secure passage on American
passenger vessels sailing under the
American flag which we recognize it
our duty to protect.

''To avoid becoming entangled in a
disastrous war with one of the highly
developed fighting organizations of
Europe the United States must APP
propriate $500 100000 for a vast
naval increase at once and must raise
a sta lding army of 100000 young
men between the ages of eighteen
and twenty-one."
This opinion was advanced by Colo
mel Robert NJ. Thompson after he had
been elected president of the Navy
league. The annual meeting of the
board of directors of the league was
held in New York hotel, and Cen
eral Horace Porter rendered his res
ignation as head of the organization
on account of his advancing years.
He was elected honorary president,
and Colonel Thompson, who, is pres
ident of the New York Metal Ex-
change and was formerly well known
as a cotton operator, and who had
been chairman Of the executive COM
mittee of the league since 1904, was
elected unanimously to General Por-
ter's place. 1t was at a dinner ten
dered to Colonel Thompson at the ho-
tel that he expressed his views on the

try.
