Here her captor desired Patria to
descend. There was . glitter OF il-
humored amusement, of triumphant
malice, In his eye as he touched her
arm and pointed down into the val

1t was borne in upon the girls un-
derstanding. in that instant, that the
man had guessed her identity. She
was not only the instrument OF bis
own escape, but she was the very
prize, no doubt, that he had set forth
to snare.
And she had little doubt what would
prove her fate, once she had made q
landing In that valley.
Thoughts such as these nerved her
to heroic measures. What she must
do was murder-but SO are most acts
of war. And this was one of her
country's chiefest enemies.
A heavy wrench rested in pocket,
convenient to her hand. She watched
her chance, whipped 1t out and-as the

heeled dangerously, spinning upon Its

that, she rode alone; the observers

Resolutely forcing herself not to
think Of that poor hulk of a body
dropping like plummet to a death
which would render 1t unrecognizable,
shapeless, featureless pulp. the girl
swung the biplane round and headed
for home. Two hours later she de-

MAY NOT SUSPEND LAW.
War Not a Labor Emergency Within
Meaning of Statute.

War is not an extraordinary emer-
gency within the meaning Of that pro-
vision of the labor law which forbids
employees engaged in the performance
Of contracts on behalf of New York
state to work more than eight hours in
any one calendar day, Attorney Gen
eral Merton E. Lewis held in an opin-
ion made public recently.
State Architect Pitcher had asked for
advice in connection with the compile
ton of the school of military aero
nautics at Cornell university. Neces-
stiles Of the military situation require
the early completion Of this building
A contractor cannot employ man In
the performance Of the work for more
than eight hours day, and progress
of construction, therefore, was unsatis-
factory. The attorney general held that
the labor law defined ian extraordinary
emergency" as an emergency caused by
fire, flood or danger to life or prop
erty" He also said:
1T is my opinion that the state in
this case Is not authorized under the
existing statute to suspend the eight
hour law. What powers the federal
government mly exercise in conduct
ing this work as war measure are
beyond the question considered"

The establishment of friendly rela-

A cable message to Suzuki from Sam

Tour Flag and Ny Flag

The banner breaks in glory the breeze,
The trumpets sing from all their brazen throats
chorused chant of thrilling harmonies
The drumbeats throb amid the ringing notes
An echo, but growing echo; yes
An echo that is flung from hill to plain,
An echo that shall grow the less,
Born from the chord that not struck in vain.
The diapason of the booming guns
Blends with the shriler sounding of the cheers
All this had been foreheard by those great ones
Who planned the structure in the former years.
Who dreamed and dared, and gave of wealth and life
That this great nationsong should never cease,
Who blent the surging song of somber strife
With all the after of honored peace
And so today the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their blood brothered east and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fullness of our faith is all expressed.
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When men for hearth and home and manhood varied
The truths our nation has been bulded on
And higher than the farthest reach of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die.
The flag of promise floats from sea to sea-
The buges shout in answer to the drum
And send sense of strength to you and me
From days that WERE and are, and are to come!
