Pleads For Conservation
of National Ideas on
independence Day

A plea for a Fourth of July cele-
bration that will make of the day
one of conservation to national ideals
rather than one devoted to amuse-
ment and noisy demonstrations, is
made by G. w. Pepper, chairman of
the committee of public safety of
Pennsylvania.
He asks every member of the or
ganization to exert his influence
against wasteful and dangerous ex-
penditure on powder and fireworks.
Mr.. Pepper suggests patriotic
meetings with speakers who can in
terpret in an inspiring way the mis-
sion of America in the world war
and for bringing it home to every
body that it is purely a fight for
democracy.

Germany Forced to Take
Part of All Profits to
Help Carry Wars Debt

Copenhagen, June 27.-Revolu-
tlonary methods in the raising of
revenue to cover Germany's postbel-
lum budget, were foreshadowed by
Dr. Won Pistorius, finance minister
OF Wurttemberg, in q speech in the
Diet at Stuttgart on Monday. The
minister said 1t would be impossible
Tor the empire to raise by customary
methods the mighty sum required
and that therefore the state must
obtain share of the nations reve-
nue. at the source by participating
In the profits accruing from produc-
ton, importation and trade.
This is the first time that pros
pective resort to government monop-
olies has been prophesied so plainly
by responsible government official.

morning after an all-night session of

bursts Of patriotic fervor from the pub

TO adopt measures to facilitate
navigation, in cooperation with the

The president acted promptly on
the first point and took immediate
steps toward action on the secohd. In
a speech to congress he made it clear
that Uruguay enters the war on the
side Of the United States not because
of any particular grievance, but to
align itself with the cause of liberty
and justice.
Passports were issued on Sunday to
the German diplomatic and consular
officials. Uruguay gives guarantees
for their personal safety until they
are out of the country. At the same
time cable orders were dispatched to
Berlin ordering all Uruguayan off

or winter, Magnet Bill may be seen
walking slowly about the automobile
plant. his eyes fixed on the ground.
He gets his nickname from the fact
that his tools consist solely of tin
bucket and big steel, magnet,
strapped to the end of a shovel handle.
II is his duty TO save automobile tires
by removing from the roadway every
nail and piece Of metal that might
cause a tire puncture. Thousands Of

GRO BE CONTINUED
WASHINGT0N'S WILL POWER
Kept His Puenacity in Subsection, but
Occasionally He Allowed Pas
sion to Have Sway.

1t is related of John Adams that
when Stuart exhibited his portrait of
General Washington, Mr.. Adams went
to see it. After gazing at it for sew
eral minutes he exclaimed, That's the
portrait of a man who knew how to
hold his tongue, which this old fool
never didr
The portrait does indicate that the
original could be reticent, but 1t also
shows that he could control himself.
The square, massive jaw, the full,
brOad-based nose, and the compressed
lips express pugnacity and passion,
such as require strong will to keep
them in subsection.
Sometimes even Washington allowed
his passion to have sway.
When Glover's Marblehead fisher
men and Morgan's Virginia riflemen
were engaged in a rough and tumble
fight, Washington leaped from his
horse over the bars of the camp fence,
dashed among the rioters, seized two
brawny riflemen by the throat and.
them at arms length, subdued
not only them, but the whole band.
1t was the victory due to command
Ing strength, presence and manner.
The men saw that they must obey, and
hey obeyed.
