SIDELIGHTS ON WAR

Within the brief period of the Eu-
ropean war, the liberty of the seas
has been put in jeopardy by a system
of submarine warfare that has shock
ed the world and it is largely on this
account Of the fact that the United
States today stands for 1ibery, both
of the seas, and of other nations from
oppression by stronger powers that
today America is embroled in the
great strife. Today many kindly tri-
butes are being paid to the men WING
first secured absolute liberty for
America and to those who later, in
the Civil war, made it possible for the
theory of Americanism to arrive, and
although Abraham Lincoln's famous
speech at Gettysburg was not made
on a Decoration day, but on Novem-
Der 10, 1863. no finer token of the
valiant deeds which brought about
this liberty have ever been spoken.
While a new fight for liberty is ap-
parently at our door, Abraham Lin
coins verbal memorial is worth re-
calling. He said, on that November
Day at Gettysburg:
-Four score and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth upon this
continent new nation, conceived in
Liberty, and dedicated to the PROPOSE
l..
Now we are engaged in a great civil
war. testing whether that nation, or
any nation SO conceived and so dedi-
Gated, can long endure. We are met
on great battlefield. of that war.
We are met to dedicate a portion of
it as a final resting place of those
who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. 1t is altoge8 Ter
fitting and proper that we should do
this. But in a larger sense, we can
not dedicates we cannot consecrate,
we cannot hallow, this ground The
brave men living and dead, who strug-
gled here, have consecrated it far
above our power to add or detract
The world will little note nor long re-
member what we say here, but it can
| never forget what they did here. II
is for us, the living. rather to be dedi-
Gated here to the unfinished work
| that they have thus far SO nobly
carried on. 1t is rather for us to be
kHHn9 dedicated to the great task re-
sx4 sng before us; that from these
T. Unored dead we take increased devo.
ton to the cause for which they here
gave the last full measure of devo.
ton; that we here highly resolve tina,
the dead shall not have died in vain
that the nation shall, under God, have
a new birth of freedom, and that gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people, shall not perish
| from the e1rth."

UNMANIFEsT DESTINY

To what new fates, my country, far
And unforeseen of foe or friend,
Beneath what unexpected star,
Compelled to what unchosen end.
Across the sea that knows no beach
This Admiral of Nations guides
Thy blind obedient keels to reach
The harbor where thy future rides!
The guns that spoke at Lexington
Knew not that God was planning

The trumpet word of Jefferson
To bugle forth the rights of men,
To them that wept and cursed Bull
Run,
What was 1t but despair and shame :?
Who saw behind the cloud the sun?
Who knew that God was in the
flame?
Had not defeat upon defeat,
Disaster on disaster come,
The slaves emancipated feet
Had never marched behind the
dome.
There is hand that bends out deeds
To mightier issues than we planned,
Each son that triumphs. each that
.bleeds, - .3v 4sse5

JOAN D'ARc

Although the popular theory the in
telligent world over is that Joan
Dare was burned at Rouen on May
80. 1431, the French heroine affords
a remarkable instance of historic UNI
certainty. Historians, one copying
the words of another, insist she was
burned at the stake at Rouen; while
documentary evidence of the most
authentic character, completely mega
tiving the story of her being burned
show she was alive, and happily mar
red, several years after she was al
legged to have been executed. Many
of these documents are in the regis
try of the city of Mentz, and prove
she was alive in 1896. The magis-
trates to make sure she was not an
imposter, sent for her brothers, Pierre
and Jean, who at once recognized her.

You overestimate yourself. This is
kind of conceit or spelling from your

like your looks and manners. You
know you should not insult any per-

children will stop teasing. She has
