A WAR FOR PRINCIPLE, NOT FOR
GREED.

If America must become involved in, the
great war of Europe, il will be a consola-
ton to even the most bitter opponent of
war among us TO know that our fight will
be one of principle, and not of greed. We
shall not fight for glory of conquest, not
for acquisition of territory or for trade
rights. not for spoils of any character.
We shall fight for the defense Of the rights
OF our people, and of the rights Of all neu-
trail nations upon the seas. We shall fight
for the rights OF humanity. The American
flag on the battlefield OF this war will be
the symbol of justice. God will indeed
be with us in such a war, and our people
will be proud TO be enlisted in such a
cause.

The Flag in the Church.
From The New York Times.

- - ~" - tAhfFsF
The service and sermon at st. Luke's
Episcopal church Yesterday combined to
make a patriotic demonstration. The
choir appeared marching behind a big
American flag and went through the church
singing national airs. And then the Rev.
DR.. g. Ashton Oldham, rector of the
church, preached q sermon in which he
applauded the presidents action and said
that all patriotic Americans. including him
self, were willing 10 die for their country
and her principles if necessary.
During the service two men left the
church. One Of them was known 10 be 4
German-American. and il is through that
both were offended by the demonstration
Other German-Americans in the congrega-
hoin. however, congratulated the rector
after the service. In his sermon, DR.. Old
ham said:
This course may mean war, and war j.
terrible. but in the famous words Of Pat
rick Henry: Is life 50 dear or peace 50

THE L1TERACY LEST.

Looked at analytically, the ~literacy test

MILITARY TRAINING NOW BEFORE
CONGRESS-.

The universal military training aues-
tion is now squarely before congress. with
the favorable report by the majority of
the senate committee on military affairs
on the measure. The problem is one
which should come home to every Amer
can today. Doubtless MANY who have been
opposed hitherto to universal military
training will realize. as We face the prob
ability Of war with Germany, that the
safety of the nation demands that its men
be prepared for military service. The bill
before the senate calls for only six
months training. which may be either in
the army or the navy at the option of the
person To be trained. nineteen being the age
at which the training is to be begun or in
any year in which the man is liable ia
such service mp to 26. There are to be
exemptions in certain eases. where the
person asking exemption j. the sole sup
port Of dependent persons.
There can be no doubt That this meas
urc or some similarly measure will be
adopted. Six months is little enough time

sity ever arise. every man undergoing such

and morally.
The result of such q law naturally
would be to create a military reserve,
which would give the country a potential
