~ E are fighting Germany not alone
with battleships and big guns and
airplanes, but with American dollars
gold and silver. The "War Chest" at
Washington must be kept filled, The
patriotism Of this nation will be reflected
as brilliantly by the balance in the Of
ficial treasury as it will by the bayonets
Of the troopers and the flash Of field
guns. It is estimated that more than fif-
teen million dollars daily must be ex-
pended by the United States as soon as
the military organization becomes per-
fected. Today the government has call
ed for men between the ages OF twenty
one and thirty to do the actual fighting
in the trenches and on the Shi pS-but it
has called, in eloquent and impressive
terms, upon the millions who are not of
military age and who do not measure up
to military requirements III a physical
sense to lend their resources financial
to the war department., The "Liberty
Loan" now being floated should appeal
to the innate pride Of every true blooded
American and every American Of Ger
man extraction who hopes to see the
Stars and Stripes victorious in The Strug
gle into which we have been drawn. The
first call has been for two billion dollars.
1t is huge sum-an amount absolutely
beyond the comprehension of most Of us.
It is two thousand million dollars, and
million dollars is ten hundred thousand

THE ST. LOUIS RIOTS

"HERE is absolutely no evidence
to support the charge that
union labor was responsible for
the st. Louis race riots. Perhaps
labor troubles between whites and
blacks did have their part in the
disturbances, but it is foolish to say
that the rioting was due to a plot.
Such occurrences are not planned.
Mob violence just happens. 1t flares
up and dies down and is often past
understanding. There is not in the
history of this country a single in
stance of a mob having been Or
ganized, for mob is essentially an
unorganized body. A mob can un-
derstand nothing but brute force. A
volley of ball cartridges from the
National Guardsmen at the outstart
would have saved many lives in the
long run.

FAMOUS AMERICAN FLAG

the famous battle with the British
/ frtgate Scraps, on September 3,
1873. The flag has thirteen stars.
Hanging from the walls of the
National Museum is the most distin-
gushed of our distinguished flags
the Star Spangled Banner which
fioated over Fort McHenry, Mary
land, during the British attack in
September, 1914, and on seeing
Scott Key (held on one of the Brit
| ish ships) wrote the famous song of
that name. This flag was made by
Mrs. Mary Pickersgill and her as
| sistants, at what is known as the
Baltimore Flag House, and measures
26 by 36 feet.
In the battle one of the stars was
shot away by the British. The ban
ner was preserved by Major George
| Armistead, the valiant commander
of Fort McHenry, and after his death
by his daughter, Mrs. Eben Apple
ton, who presented it to the National
Museum with the condition that the
| flag should never be removed for
exhibition elsewhere.
The youngest among distinguished
! flags Is that which was made in the
| old Flag House, Philadelphia, in
| 1915. Each of the stars in this nota-
| Die nag was supplied by the Cover
nor of one of the states of the
Union. The flag was unfurled at the
| official opening of the Panama Canal
In 1915. 1t was released by Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, who pressed
an electric button sending it to the
breeze. At the same time THE Star
| Spangled Banner" was sung in al
most every town and city of the
| United States, sending a thrill of pa
| triotic impulse over the nation.-J
