Amid the preparations for their
wedding Violet and Walter would
have forgotten Newman, so happy
were they, but for Madge Wilder.
She was the chosen friend of Violet.
When Dale Newman left Rayfield he
was all but engaged to Madge. She
had every. right to believe that their
first correspondence would continue.
It did not. Amid the glare and glitter
of the city Newman apparently had
forgotten all about his village love.

part of American citizens who say tc
those who would interfere: 'You
must not and You shall not But
you are American citizens and the idea
want to leave with you boys today is
this:: No matter what comes always
remember that first of all you are
citizens Of the United States before
you are officers and that you are Off
GERS because you represent in your
particular profession what the citizen
ship Of the United States stands for.
There is no danger of militarism II
you are genuine Americans and 1, for
one, do not doubt that you are. When
you begin to have the militaristic
spirit-not the military spirit, that is
all right-then begin to doubt whether
You are Americans or not.
"YOu know that one thing in which
our forefathers took pride was this
that the civil power is superior to the
military power in the United States.
once and again the people of the Uni
ted states have so admired some great
military man as to make him Presi-
dent of the United States, when he be-
came Commander-in-ch chief of all the
FORCES of the United States, but he was
Conmander-in-C Chief because he was
president, not because he had been
trained to arms, and his authority
was civil, not military. I can teach
you nothing of military power, but I
am instructed by the Constitution to
use you for constitutional and pa.
triotic purposes. And that is the only
use you could be put to. That is the
only use you ought to care TO be put
10, because, after all, what is the use
In being an American il you do not
know what it is.
You have read a great deal in the
DOCKS about the pride of the old Ro-
man citizen who always felt like draw
ing himself to his full height when ha
said I am a Roman but as compared
With the pride that must have risen
TO his heart our pride has new dis
tinction, not the distinction OF being
masters Of the world, but the distinc.
ton OF carrying certain lights of the
world that the world has never so dis
tinctly seen before, certain guiding
lights of liberty and principle and JUS
tice."

Demand OF What Platform Must
Contain. .f -, -, e.

st. Louis, June 14.-Secretary of
War Baker has submitted only presi-
GENITAL Suggestions for the Democratic
platform and not a complete draft
with a demand for strict adherence TO
them. The most bitter struggle will
be over the Americanism plank. SEN
ator John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi has taken stand demanding
the strongest kind Of Americanism
plank. Senator Stone of Missouri
representing many German Americans
Is believed to be trying to have the
platform treat hyphenates easily.
New Jersey delegates, from Wilson's
own State. and those Of West Virgin
Ia, will get places of honor While the
convention is open. The New York
delegation will begin movement for
plank advocating pensions for aged
men and women who served most of
their lives as civil service employees of
the government. This is the first
time this was ever attempted. Many
deiegates are angered because the
leaders are going to hold them in ses-
sion until Saturday. when they could
hnish in two days The leaders saw
they agreed with the hotels and mer.
chants to do SO. therefore they cannot
adjourn earlier.
Baker has officially announced that
the committee on resolutions will be
free to do what it pleases about the
platform.

Militarism does not consist in the
existence of an army, not even in the
existence Of a very great army. Mill
tarism Is spirit. 1t is point Of view
1t is system. It is a purpose. The
purpose of militarism is to use armies
for aggression. The spirit Of mill
tarism is the opposite Of the civilian
spirit-the citizen spirit. In a country
where militarism prevails, the mill
tary man looks down upon the civilian
regards him as inferior, thinks Of him
as intended for his. the military mans
support and use and just so long as
America Is America that spirit and
point of view is impossible with us
There is as yet in this country, so fai
as 1 can discover. no taint Of the
spirit Of militarism.
