0 God, who holdest In Thy hand
And ddst exalt and bless our land
And gavest it from sea to sea
To all embracing liberty.
We give thee praise
All our days.
For the golden glow of the orange tree,
For the purple grapes, for the honeybee.
For the waving plumes of the yellow grain,
For the glorious sunshine and for the rain,
The coal in the mine, the ore in the hill,
The throb of the engine, the whistles shrll,
The fire Of the forge and the anvl's ring,
For the linking phone and the cable string,
The whin of the loom. the clack of the mill,
For the auto speed and the airship's thrill
For the horse of flame on the road of stee
And the wireless voice that makes loud
appeal,
For our busy marts and our busy streets
Where the white, black, brown and vel
low man meets;
For the strong true arm Of the workman
brave,
For our churches and schools with powe,
to save,
For hearts Of our women, brains Of ou
For the laureled harvest of brush ant
For the wealth of herds on the prairie
wide,
For the new homes rising on every side.
For the law that shields where our IA,

For peace in our land and with all tn.
world,
For our mighty name, in all mems sight
The pledge we must walk for aye in thy
light.
All our days
We give thee praise.

in election returns but it really would
seem that there was slight return
toward Republicanism. The Progress

find little consolation in their vote
since that party loses its right to

"Uncle Ephriam's Summer Board
ers" was played Friday evening, April
18th to a larger crowd than has been
seer at the Dickinson opera house for
some time. The play was full of mer-
riment from start to finish , inter-
woven with just enough sentiment and
romance to give a touch of variety.
There was enough plot to keep a pro-
found interest and enough characters
to bring in all manner of individual
types, each delighting their audience
with their Interpretation. A number
of musical selections were introduced
in different acts and were heartily ap-
plauded. The Dickinson orchestra
furnished the music between acts.
Between the second and third acts
ten little boys and girls sang and
acted a song in a very clever manner.
Aside from being a success as to pro-
duction, the Congregational Aid So
ciety, under whose direction the play
was put on, cleared about $147.

The recent changes in warfare are prob

greatest change Is perhaps in the rifle

writer, instead Of seeking to adapt new
circumstances to old theories, changes
theories to meet new circumstances. So
Germany is manufacturing individual ma

been guns that required two men to han

be handled by one man. The soldiers who

Ends the Debate Over Munitions.
From the Chicago Herald.

Secretary Lansing's note to AUSTRIA
Hungary may be taken as the final am
tnouncennent OF American policy with re-
gard to the shipment OF war munitions
to Europe.
1t places the position OF this government
on the unassailable grounds Of interna-
tional law, naturalization, Austro-Hun-
gafian precedent, and. what Is most Inn
portant of all. plain national necessity.
We are opposed to militarlsm. There,
fore we will not sanction a policy which
puts q premium on armed and prepared
aggressiveness; which will compel every
nation to establish and maintain great mu-
milton plants and keep immense stores Of
war material constantly on hand.
We demand national safety. Therefore
we will do nothing that might shut the
worlds markets against US In that day
when we, too. have war and are compelled
to look elsewhere for supplies 1t has never
been our policy to produce In great guam
titles at home.
We stand for the principles OF interna-
tionaI law Therefore we will continue to
adhere to the plain principles governing
the export Of munitions: principles as
fully understood abroad as here and most
consistently adhere to IL the past.
There will no doubt be further discus
sion OF the question. Blu there Is no pos
sibility OF successful attack on the estab-,
American policy. Discussion will
henceforth ba academic and futile.
The question OF 5exporting war munitions
Id decided. Let US pass to the ext thing
IN the order Of business.
