 THE MATHEMATICS"
Accuses FOreign- Born Citizens of Trying to Levy Political Black mail. and Says DiSloyalls 10
 J. S. Must Re Crushed.

Washington. June iA.--A charge that foreign-born citizens of inc United States are trying to under mine the influence of the national government was made by President Wilson in a flag speech here today. His assertion sounded the keynote of one of the foremost issues on which he will go before the country for reelection and touched upon Q platform declaration that will be submitted bv the administration Co the St. Louis convention.
 The President spoke before a crowd Of thousands gathered at the foot of the Washington monument, after ne had reviewed for five hours a great preparedness parade at the head of which he himself had marched down Pennsylvania avenue. He declared that not since the Civil War had il been tested as 1t now is being tested whether the stars and Stripes stood for any one united purpose.
 DisIoyalty Must Be Crushed.
 There is disloyalty active in the United states and it must be abs0- mtely crushed, declared the presi- dent. speaking emphatieally. It proceeds from a minority but a very active and subtitle minority lt works underground but il also shows it's ugiy head where we can see it. and there are those at this moment who are trying to levy q species of political blaekmail, say ing, Do what We wish in the inter- est of foreign sentiment or we will wreck our vengeance at the polls.
 That is the sort Of thing against which the American Nation will turn with might and triumph of the sen- timent that will teach these gentle men once for all that loyalty to this flag is iile first test of tolerance in the United States
 Challenge to Hyphenates.
 The Presidents words were taken as an open challenge to foreign born Americans who, ae had learned from foreign languaoa newspapers and other sources, are opposing him for reelection Officials close to him said he was outlining his stand on what ne had determined to make predominant issue in his cam paien.

outlook on life upon which she had
l. rather prided herself, Sally Winthrop
did not differ greatly from other women
Shut up in her room, deep sense of
humiliation overwhelmed her. He had
asked this other girl to marry him, and
when she refused he had come to her!
He thought as lightly of her as that-a
mere second choice when the first was
made impossible. He had no justifica-
ton for that. This other had sent him
to her--doubtless with smile of scorn
upon her pretty lips.
But what was she crying about and
making her nose all red? She should
have answered him with another smile
and sent him back again. Then he would
have understood how little she cared
would have understood that she did not
care enough even to feel the sting of such
an insult as this. For the two days she
had been here awaiting the announce
ment of his marriage she had said over
and over again that she did not care
said it the first thing upon waking and
the last thing upon retiring. Even when
she woke up in the night as she did
many times, she said it to herself. 1t
had been a great comfort to her, for it
was a full and complete answer to any
hayward thoughts that took her unaware.
She did not care about him, so what

he had only kept away

the next ten or eleven

all those things without

must not care, with him
right before her eyes.
She began to cry again.
1t was not fair. 1t was
the sense of injustice that
now broke her down. She
was doing her best, and
no one would help her.

; searching inquiry of Mrs. Halliday's eyes
as well as Don's. For the half hour they
were at table she heartily wished she was
back again in her own room in New York.
There, at least, she would have been free
to shut herself up, away from all eyes but
her own. Moreover, she had to look for
ward to what she should do at the end of
the meal. For all she saw, she was going
to be then in even a worse plight than she
was now. For he would be able to
talk, and she must needs answer and
keep from crying. Above all things else,
she must keep from crying. She did not
wish him to think her little fool as well
as other things.
She was forced to confess that after the
first five minutes Don did his best to re-
lievc the tension. He talked to Mrs
Halliday about one thing and another,
and kept on talking. And, though it was
quite evident to her that he had no appe-
titc, he managed to consume three of the
hot biscuit. After supper, when she rose
to help her cousin in the kitchen, he
wished also to help. But Mrs Halliday
would have neither of them. That made
it bad for her again, for it left her with
no alternative but to sit again upon the
front porch with him. So there they were
again, right back where they started.

just nod or shake your head.
Then you won't have to
speak a word. Will you do
that"
1t was an absurd propo-
sition, but she was forced
either to accept it or to run
away again. Somehow, it
did not appear especially
dignified to keep on run
ming away, when in the end
she must needs come back
again. So she nodded.
Lets go back to the
beginning" he suggested.
"That's somewhere toward
the middle of my senioryear.

that, but about that time
she came on to Boston, and
we went to a whole lot of

A CROSS-WISE COLLISION.

A report that sounded like large
sized bomb caused a commotion last
Thursday afternoon and made some
people wonder where it came from. 1t
was, however, the noise produced from
the collision between VIM. Schneider
of Sou,n Lancaster, who was riding
motorcycle west on Elm street, and
Andrew Lewis, who was driving Ford
automobile north on Madison. Mr..
Lewis turned the corner at the jog and
did not see the other man until he had
almost gotten around. The result was
bent pedal, stay rod and broken rear
tire on the motorcycle, together with
bruised right hip on the rider.
Mr.. Schneider took the vehicle to a
garage for repairs. He was feeling
stiff and sore, Friday.
