your FLAG AND MY FLAG"

Your flag and my fla.
And how it flies today
In your land and my land
And half a world away
Rose red and blood red
The Stripes forever CLEAN;
Snow-white and soul-white-
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true-blue, with stars
to CLEAN Alright
The oloried guidon of the day;
A shelter through the night.
Your flag and my flag!
And, oh, how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun kissed and wind tossed
Red and blue and white.
The n fiao-the great fiag-the
flag for me and you
Glorified all else beside-the red
and white and blue.

GERMANY KILLS ITS Pics.

German food experts have come to
the conclusion that dead pig is bet
ter than live one, at least in war
times. Intimate and exhaustive
studies Of the porcine appetite have
disclosed that the pig is mans chief
competitor in consuming valuable
foodstuffs. Consequently about half
the pigs in Germany have been
killed.
The war food bureau at Berlin
says that while the number Of swine
within the empire was diminishing,
census figures of the last quarter
showed that the nation was richer by
100000 head Of cattle than it was on
March 1. On June ] it was said there
was within Germany total of 21,-
100000 head of cattle, while on De-
cember i, 1912, there was 21,1OO,-
600.

Authorities Admit That without Their
Aid Victory IN Present War Would
Re impossible.

A London cablegram gives the fol-
lowing interesting information con-
corning the oath Of allegiance and
work of England's woman recruits.
81, , hereby swear by AL
mighty God that / will be faithful
and bear true allegiance to his maies-
ty, King George V, his heirs and
successors, and that l win honestly
and faithfully serve his majesty, his
heirs and successors"
For the first time in history the
words Of the oath Of allegiance have
been sworn by woman recruits; the
elimination Of the work Of British
women for their country in the war
has been the formation Of the Wom-
ems Auxiliary Army Corps, whereby
women are admitted into the British
army.
Week by week, since August, 1914,
as the insistent call for munitions
came from the army in France,
women poured into the industrial
centers, flooded the improvised fac
tories, steadily filed up the ranks of
the army at home as the men joined
the army of fighters abroad. Now
the highest ministers of the crown
acknowledge that without women
victory would be impossible, labor,
munitions, railways and food pro-
duction would crash to utter failure.
1t has all been done in the British
way, with the maximum of reliance
on private enterprise, and the mini
mum bureaucratic control; and in
the British way it has fallen to a pri-
vate association to watch that the
burden laid ON the women was not
more than human strength could
bear.

Attempts by the German fleet to en-
ter the Gulf of Riga or to operate in
the waters between Oesel and Dago
islands, are meeting with resistance,
respectively from the Russian land
batteries and Russian naval units. In
the latter region the Germans declin-
ed to accept battle and retired in the
face Of the Russian warships. AS yet
no attempts have been made by the
Germans to effect a landing on the
coast of Esthonia and harass the right
flank OF the Russian army and
neither has any effort been made to
