New York. July H.-Entire control

pany is about to be placed in the
hands Of the policy-holders as the re-
suit Of several years OF labor on the
part Of the naturalization committee.
The assets are placed at SIS. 900 600.
The committee announced tonight that
Gen. Coleman DUPONT, present owner
Of the controlling shares. offers his
stock. all OF which is to be retired

America in this struggle. We are 60
ing to build great fleets of airships.
When German cities and her people
are destroyed and killed by our air
ships and flying machines. Germany
will be glad to ask for peace. Not
peace upon the Kaiser's terms. but
peace upon the terms of the conquer
ing allies.
The Kaiser's gates OF Hell cannot
prevail against our country whose
patriotism has been awakened by the
diabolical assaults OF the tiendish
enemy.
Germany can have no hope for sue
cess when the people of America have
been made serious by the draft that
has brought the terribleness of the
war home to us.
The Kaiser will have no chance
against this nation when the wrath
of our people has been stirred by the
slaughter of our soldiers on foreign
fields. When American blood is shed
America will arise with all her might
and deal the Kaiser his death blow.
When the boys of our nation are
slain by German soldiers the mothers
of America will rise up like the Spar
tan mothers of old and give to the
cause of human freedom their other
sons. They will do it with the same
stalwart and sturdy hearts of these
Spartan mothers of old, and they will
make this great sacrifice to assure
the world its safety and freedom.
The mothers of America have un-
furled the stars and stripes in this
conflict against the Kaiser by the
giving of their sons, and when the
women of America arise to the ne
ccssity of the occasion, as they have,
Germany cannot win.
Day by day the elements OF Amer
lea are solidifying. With the ex-
ception of France no nation has
taken up the sword against Ger
many, that is as united. as our coun.
try. We are a united. patriotic,
sacrificing, invincible people. We
| stand for the things that God wants
on earth. We stand for CIVILIZATION,
liberty and the rights of all men,
everywhere and the German gates
of Hell shall not prevail against us
Let every American do his part
until the great war shall cease, until
Germany shall be conquered and
scattered to the four winds; until the
Kaiser shall be dethroned and ban.
ished, until the house OF Hohenzol,
lern shall be no more and peace and
prosperity shall again come to the
nations of the earth

Moral Attri6on" in Germany.

This is a reactionary period so far
as hope for an early peace in Europe
Is concerned. The thwarting of liberal
impulses in Germany. the callous de-
| fianCe of the public will by the mill
! tary party, has revealed to the world
/ how far of an actual change of
heart is in the seat of the enemy.
In view of this fact, it is about
time that certain powerful influences
in the United States cease prating
about the encouragement by the
United States Of democratic leanings
in Germany. They have preached the
doctrine that the American govern
ment should play constantly on the
tune OF this is no war on the Ger
man people, but merely on their au-
tocratic government" with the ex-
press object of promoting an internal
revolution in the German empire. The
President himself has disclaimed war
as against the German people, al
though it is now clear that as long
as Germans persist in the delusion
and the folly of thinking as they
are now thinking-and supporting
Hohenzollernism as they now support
1.-THE distinction the President makes
is purely academic.
1t now appears that the distinction
itself is pointless, inasmuch as a rev.
olution in Germany is nowhere in
sight, and the necessity of a crushing
military victory to bring its war
mad people to their senses is clearer
than ever There is to be no peace
in 1917, although the attrition, moral
and otherwise, of fourth winter may
produce a decidedly different temper
in Germany next spring. But only an
optimist would look for a peace be-
fore another mighty smash for a
military decision comes next year.
The new chancellor, who is revealed
now as an inferior Prussian bureau
crat, and a mere cat's-paw for Hin
denburg and Ludendorff, has un-
Willingly revealed what Bethmann-
Hollweg, Won Tirpitz and others re-
vealed before him.-that Germany's
hopes for victory are utterly bound
up in the submarine. And the en-
tente nations willingly admit that this
is their only point OF danger. that
it is the only thing that causes them
anxiety, for there is no doubt they
have the enemy permanently on the
defensive in all other features Of the
situation.
The decadence OF morale in the
German civilian population is one Of
those things which can be safely left
to itself while the United States pro-
ceeds with its military and naval pre-
parations. We may as well cease try
ing to influence the German people.

WORLDS OLDEST FLAG.

The most ancient national flag in
the world is either the dragon banner
Of China or the chrysanthemum flag
of Japan. The former has been used
from very early period, and the
latter Is as old as the present dynasty
In Japan, which is the oldest in the
world. Among European national flags
that of Denmark-a white st. Georges
cross on a red grounds the most
ancient. having been in use since 1918.
No other flag has existed without
change for anything like the same
period as national emeblem, although
there are royal stands that are older.
The Spanish nationl flag dates only
from 11S5, and our own flag. the Union
Jack, was first flown in its present
form after the union with Ireland in
1901. The Stars and Stripes, the ma
tional emblem of the United States
Is older than ours, for it was first
planned and ordered by Washington
Of Betesy Ross, an upholsterer Of
Philadelphia. and formally adopted In
1T7.-Tit-Bits.

SHEEP TO CUT WAR COST.

A Montana man with a good Amer
lean name, Lester Work, has bought
$1,000 sheep in Mexico and is to turn
them loose in Federal forest reserve
section in Montana as soon as they
are sheared. How so many sheep liv-
ed through the hungry wars OF Mexico
is a mystery. but they should be
thrifty ornaments in a section of the
10o. .on0 acres of government forest
reserves of this country. with wool
selling for 80 cents a pound, and that
