When The Flag Passes.
(Cincinnati Times-Star. )

The question of encouraging the outward forms of respect for the na- tional flag and the national anthem is just now frequently discussed. There is a general desire on the part of good Americans to tighten up our somewhat slovenly and care less habits in these matters.
 An evidence of this is seen in or ders just issued to the New York police. Hereafter officers must stand at attention and salute the flag when it passes in the custody of the Unit ed States army or of the National Guard. Officers will also observe the same form when the national

anthem is played. A policeman not in uniform must raise his hat.
 These ordered and official marks of respect to the flag are most ap- propriate. They create an example which the private citizen should find 1t not only easy, but desirable to fol-

 With Admiral Crawford the cores 1 pondent of The Associated Press went | to see the submarine defenses of a | harbor.

 The trawlers plod over plotted sea-squares with the regularity of moving chimes cutting harvest, on their way back and forth sweeping up mines. They were fishermen be- fore the war and are fishermen still. They come into harbors stiff with cold, thaw out, have a rest, and return to their vigils and their hardships.

 Crane Lifts Seaplane
 A crane that once had taken pas sengers' trunks out of the hold lifted a seaplane off a platform and de- posted it on the water, where it bounced on the waves before the motor was started and it skinned across the surface for a hundred yards or more, rose, circled around the fleet two or three times, and then dis appeared out at sea. With its floats it looked clumsy besides an aeroplane- the difference between a duck and a hawk.
 Most of the romance and the action of sea warfare while the British Grand fleet waits for the Ger man fleet to come out are the sea- planes and the destroyers. The dreadnoughts remain in harbor, ex- cept for occasional cruises into the North Sea, but the planes and the de- stroyers are always on the move.

oV, <NitSihOOu u.
The famous motion picture, "The
Battle Cry of Peace" will be shown
at the Edisonia Theatre here Dec. 20
and 30. This masterpiece will draw a
large audience here as it has wher-
ever shown. The following comments
will show how we'll the famous picture
has taken elsewhere:
There is no duty more sacred to
this great society than to work tire
iessly for the proper defense of our
nation by land and sea. Gathered in
this hall dedicated to those who fought
and died in order that the United
States might be born, we should feel,
every one of US, that our best efforts
should be given to bringing about this
adequate defense"
With these words, Mrs. William
Cumming Story, president general of

last night at Memorial Continental
Hall, which was attended by as repre-
sentative an audience, civilian, official
and military, as has gathered in
Washington to consider the defense
question since it has become a para

The rally was devoted for the most
part to the exhibition of the graphic

eastern seaboard of the United States

The audience had come to be enter

more than an entertainment. AS the
tale of the destruction of New York,

Dear Sir:
AS you no doubt know the postoffice

stand, and putting in what is known
as Motor Routes to be operated with
automobiles. There are a great many
objections to this method, and | am
very much opposed to it in my dis

the postoffice department on several
occasions with reference to the pro-
posed changes which they now intend
10 make IN Spartanburg county, but
rs yet have been unable to reach an
agreement with the postmaster gen
erar as to what is best to be done. The
trouble with the situation from his
standpoint is this, he wrote to some of
the postmasters in Spartanburg coun-
~. and he showed me letters from
them stating that in their opinion mail
could be delivered in automobiles for
nine months out of the year, and
Spartanburg county having made this
showing he proposed to start on her.
YOU know and | know that there are
times throughout the winter when il
would be impossible to deliver mail in

partment to send an Inspector to

Of the matter. They have been un-
able in other States to stop the de-
partment from putting on the Motor
Routes, and am informed by the con-
gressmen from those States, where
they are now used, that they are not
