PREPAREDNESS
AND PATRIOTISM.
The United States Flag An Emblem of
Brotherhood and Not Buster.

The timely topic of Preparedness"
was discussed fully last night at the
meeting of the Christian Socialist
Fellowship.
The discussion was opened by the re-
citsl of an impressive incident which
happened some months ago in Bel
gum. "A motor car belonging 10 the
Commission for Relief in Belgium.
through which American supplies have
heen distributed, was driving slowly
through the streets of Louvain. The
car flew the American flag, A woman,
evidently of goody station, well dress
ed and refined. stepped In front of the
msch'ne, holding up her hand in sig
mai TO the American driver to stop.
He did so, and the woman advanced
toward the car. Paying not the slight
est attention TO either driver or his
companions, who looked curiously on,
she apt reached the forward part If
the car, from the engine hood of which
rose the STARS and Stripes" Simply
shifted one of the folds of the tiny
emblem, bent over and kissed it. Then
she turned d without a word and walk
ed on. And as the car resumed its
Journey there wasn't much converse
tion there either"
For such q spirit of brotherh cd
our beautiful flag waves in the pure
breezes Ger land and water Wherever
that spirit prevails. peace is assured.
This is exemplfed in the 5000 miles
of border line betw cen the United
States and Canada. Not q fort is
erected here, not battleship is per-
mitted on the Great Lakes. Lack of
weapons invites friendship, while arma-
ment inspires suspicion. An Army
and Navy sufficient for police duty ia
all tnat a Christian country needs. Pre-
paredness for duelling between civil
ized nations is as blameworthy as pre-
paredness for duelllng between indi-
vidusl gentlemen.
Aside from this all-importsnt moral
question the question of wastefulness
should wake the American people to
the folly of large expenditures for
militarism. Congressman Kitchln has
displayed a startling diagram show ing
that the United States already spends
a larger percentage of her revenue for
mlit.rism than any of the warning ma
tions. The figures are Germany, 55
per cent. japan. 45 per cent; Great
Britain 81 per cent France. 80
per cent while the United States al-
ready heads the list with 81 per cent.
Shou d the present Administration 9
plan be adopted we will spend the enor-
nous figure of 40 per cent.
That means, out of every 500 col
lected from the people. over so will
go into miIitarlsm and navalism, in
cluding $22 for pensions, leaving less
than $50 for all other functions of
our government and for ali other bene-
fits of the people" Future genera
tions Will stand aghsst that we every
seriously entertained such folly for a
moment.

DRY FARMS PRODUCE
SUCCESSFUL VARIETY

c. Il. Wade, who owns q dry farm
near the clay beds was in town this
week exhibiting sCmc samples of var
ious crops he has grown there He
had some dwarf milo maize. which
he estimates would yield at the rate
of so bushels per acre and kailr corn,
which gives commercial yield His
potatoes are almost as large as those
grown by irrigation and the Soudan
grass stands about four feet high.
Next year he will plant larger acr-
age of Soudan grass, which Mr.. Wade

MORE SHEEP THAN CARS

A. w. Davis returned Monday from,
Cotton where he went to ship a train
load of lambs to the eastern markets
a shortage of cars, however. made if
impossible to ship the lambs now
Mr.. Davis says that when he was in
Cotton there were at least $1,000 head
of lambs there waiting for cars.
These would fill at least 8 cars but
there were no cars available Re-
ports are that the company is using
thee ars for hauling coal The ne
cessity of keeping the lambs at Col
ton, where the range IS poor. is caus-
ing the sheep men much inconycn
fence and loss.

ATLANTIC CITY DEALERS
SUE LOCAL AUCTION FIRM
Action Is Echo Of Mysterious Dis
appearance Of Laces and
Linens Last May.

As an echo of the mysterious disap-

sands dollars worth of fine laces and
at 1909 H street. suit was Instituted to-
day in the District Supreme Court by
Boutross Bros. of Atlantic City against
Paul G. CARRIER and D. H. Roland
Drury, co-partners. alleged to be carry
ing on the National Art Galleries, to re-
cover $4,000 damages.
The plaintiffs in their declaration.
filed by Attorneys Tobriner & Graham.
allege that defendants, who are en-
auction sale consigned to them by
owners and manufacturers on commits
sion, had importuned plaintiffs to con-
sign a large quantity of laces and lin
ems to be sold in their auction rooms;
that May Il plaintiffs sent a large
quantity of goods to be SO sold, and
that thereupon ii became the duty of
the defendants to use ordinary care and
diligence in protecting and safely keep
ing the goods SO delivered to them
II is alleged the defendants were
negligent in allowing the storeroom in
which the goods were placed to be I'M
guarded and unprotected by a Waterman
or unprotected in any manner against
thieves and burglars, although. as
claimed in the declaration. defendants
represented to plaintiffs that the prem
Uses were under the surveillance OF
Waterman.
Boutross Bros. also allege that the
defendants allowed six keys to the
main entrance Of the store to be in the
possession Of various employees during
the time the goods were on the prem
Uses and were otherwise careless and
negligent, IL is asserted.
