that profession. Then, too, only
a third-grade certificate may be
granted to one without a high
school education.
Parents, are you interested in
a bigger and better school next

suade boys and girls from town

Today is Flag Day. You probably

the wearing of a Flag the extent Of
your patriotism? Is the decoration Of
your person and premises in the nat.

Do you endorse the action Con-
gress is taking today in declaring a
state Of war between the United
States and Germany? Do you realize
the extent Of the danger that threat
ems this Country should it not take
drastic action toward Germany? Have
you studied the question and are you
conversant with the condition of
American preparedness?

army?
The Greenwood Battery Of Light
Artillery is part of the Mississippi
National Guard and as such is part

night the United States may be at wal
with Germany. The Senate last nigh
by a vote Of 81 to six adopted tn.
resolution recognizing state of war
Its approval by the House today with.
out protracted debate is expected.
The resolution taken up in the
House today following passage Of the
resolution in the Senate was marked
by scenes Of gravity and quiet.
Senator Williams, Of Mississippi,
who replied to Senator LaFollette,s
speech characterized his address as
E"pro-German, pro-Goth, pro-vandal,
anti-President, anti Congress and
anti-American."
There was no demonstration after
passage Of the resolution. Three
Democrats, Lane, Stone and varda-
man, and three Republicans, LaFoll-
ette, Gronna and Norris, cast mega
tive votes.
Pacifists today concentrated their
energies on members Of the House in
an effort to defeat the resolution.
Their leaders announced that in event
OF the adoption of the resolution they
would start to work in opposition to
conscription.
The debate began in the House
promptly at ten o'clock with Chair
man Flood of the Foreign Affairs
Committee making the opening state
ment. Representative Cooper Of Wis
consin, is expected to lead the oppo-
sition. Less than q dozen members are
predicted as being against the reso-
luton.
The galleries were half wild when !
the debate began and less than half
of the members were present Under
the fules Representative Flood could |
move the previous question at any
line after an hour and if the motion
$ sustained can bring the measure to
vote. The debate began however
without limitation.
Representative Harrison Of Missis-
ippi strongly defended the resolution.
