The Stars and Stripes are flying above
the citadel of Verdun. Our army is not
there or anywhere near. but Old GLORY
floats beside the tri-color. a fitting
recognition from the greatest army

that the flag should fly above that bat

An Object of Interest.
Employees of The Star have taken a
deep interest in this new step in the
paper conservation campaign. The
machine itself. which has a three horse
power motor. has proved an object OF
no inconsiderable interest. 1t holds the
paper securely in a large metal frame.

the motor cuts accurately and Clearly

THE HAGUE, July 2s.--The Handels-
blad publishes a long article on the
arrival of the Sammies from n corre-
spondent in France. Pointing out that
without doubt when the history OF the
world war Is written the arrival OF
American troops in France Will De
treated as an event OF the foremost
importance, the writer proceeds TO tell
how. in company with other CORE
spondents. he was conducted by an
American officer to see the American
base. and further that the whole I'M
preston he received was one Of reli-
ance and strength, which must De
shown in all the Americans do.
He says that doubtless many people
in Holland treated the first report of
the arrival of American troops In
France as bluff. but that the writer
had seen thousands upon thousands
brought with the first transports and
housed in barracks built by French en-
gineers only waiting to be sent to the
training camps The writer says thar
when he expressed his admiration to
the officer the latter merely shrugged
his shoulders. saying:
That's nothing-the beginning: wait
till were once started.
Can Avoid Mistakes.
The writer lhen pTOceeus W eApIdih
that America has the bulge over Eng
land in that she has more men. more
money and more feeling. Also. that
America can profit by England's ex-
perience. thus avoiding many mistakes.
The writer regrets that he can give no
figures. and so cannot indicate the rap
idity with which the American eEpedi-
ton was prepared. but advises the
Netherlands to be careful about
prophecying in the future.
The writer points out that Sammies is
the. name given to the Americans In
France. and not Teddies. as the Dutch
are inclined to call the American con-
tingent..
They are. for the most part he said,
fine, well grown boys. well developed
by sports. less stiff than the middle
class English. Their walk is supple and
easy-going, although a military man of
the old school would not consider them
rigid enough.
The writer is impressed by their in6e-
pendence in manner and bearing to-
ward their superior officers and their
manner of saluting. He says their dis
cipline is more one of mutual under
standing between men and officers than
of obedience.

ion is regarded as largely supplantlnS

depreciation of congressional authorl-

bility of future transportation para

Joining in with the chief justice
in sustaining the law we're Justices
McKenna and Holmes-his immediate
seniors in point, of service-and Jus
tices Brandeis and Clarke, junior
members. Dissenting for various rea-
sons were Justices Day, Vandeventer,
Pitney and McReynoIds.
The majority upheld the public
right to have interstate CONNER un-
interrupted as basic principle para
mount to interests or the railroads
or their operatives-both declared to
be in public service and subject to the
supreme unrestricted power Of con-
gress to take any action necessary
to maintain freedom and uninterrup-
ton Of interstate commerce.
Valid Either Wey.
Either as a law fixing wages or
hours Of labor, the court decided con-
gress had authority to enact the Ad-
amson statute.
Concurring in the main principles
enunciated by the majority, Justice
McKenna expressed the opinion that
the law is an hour Of service and not
a wage fixing statute. He also sug-
gested increase of railroad revenue
probably would be provided If wage
increase resulted.
The dissenting opinions-Justices
Day and McReynolds delivering in
dividual views and Justices Pitney
and Vandeventer joining in one an
nouncement-variously asserted that
the Adamson act is void because be-
yond constitutional powers Of con-
gress, because it takes railroads
property without due process OF law
or because it is not an hour Of labor
statute or legitimate regulation OF
commerce.
Justices Pitney and Vandeventer
denied that congress has power to fix

Justice Day did not admit or deny
such power, dissenting because, ne
said, the law illegally takes railroad
revenues and gives them to the train
men by arbitrary, illegal congress

Hook Decree Reversed.
In upholding the statute the ma
jority reversed Federal Judge Hooks
decree enjoining its enforcement and
dismissed the railroads test suit,
leaving the federal government free
to enforce the statute under its
stringent penalties Dismissal Of
about 500 other railroad injunction
suits will follow as matter of
course.
The wage increase sustained dates
back to January l, when the Adam
son act was made effective. Rail-
roads have been keeping account of
trainmen's wages due for prompt
payment upon today's decision. The
temporary wage increases are effec-
tive under the law until the Goethals
commission reports, while the futurs
wage scales under permanent eight
hour day standards will await either
private or congressional action after
the report.
That the railroads will ask either
congress OF the interstate commerce
commission to authorize rate in
creases to meet the increased wage
costs entailed has been plainly indi-
Gated through all stages Of the con-
troversy.

night that the courts finding was nat

which to keep existing lines in repair and in years like the
present when the big roads arc rolling in wealth, all
sorts of stories are set aAoat.

AMERICAN FOREIGN PoLIcY.

n Ne OF the dispatches from Washington telling of
" President Wilson's conference yesterday with the
United States Senate regarding the relations of this
country with the proposed league to enforce peace which
has been advocated this side Of the Atlantic since the
early months OF the and which is commented upon
tavoraby the reply Of the Entente nations 10 the peace
note sent TO them by President Wilson in December said
that nothing like it has happened since the Washington
administration search of the records especially of the
records Of Of the administrations that Immediately fol-
loved Washmgtons, might lead to a qualification of this
statement, but there would be certain added weight to
the significance Of Mr. Wilson's action if it should prove
to be the literal truth
For it was Washmgons warning in his Farewell adj
dress against changing alliances which has shaped the
whole of our foreign policy since There are critics
OF American politics and American affairs who saw that
we have policy That comes nearer to being the literal
truth than we like TO admit ourselves but whatever
oil policy we have as nation has been summed up in that
warning
Now we have to point when we must either de-
part from the traditional course of action or become what
10 all nents and purposes will be hermit nation The
West Nremlan has not much doubt what course we will
elect 10 pursue but in the meantime it is perfectly wise

OF the United States IN every way possible Ono of the
fruitful causes of the difference of opinion regarding our
proper attitude toward the European belgerents and the
attendant bitterness which of was the fact that
we had never talked these matters over and come to a
substantial agreement about them
Let's discuss this peace league business thoroughly so
that when we go ln and it is almost certain that in the
end we shall go in. will do it with out eyes open and
with complete understanding of just what we have set
