SOCIALIST M. c. FOR
WAR TO BRING PEACE

Washington, April 19.-Congress-
man London, New York, in a cable
gram to friend in the Russian du-
ma today urged publication Of an
authoritative statement declaring
Russian socialists do not favor a
separate peace with Germany.
London regards separate peace
between Russia and Germany as in
conceivable, even II such peace
could be engineered by the socialists
of the two nations. He branded the
so-called socialist conference now be-
ing agitated, as tinged with auto
cracy He is suspicious Of the move.
He gives three reasons for this be-
lief.
The first. he says, Is that sep
arate peace between Russian and Ger
many would retard the democratiza-
tion Of Europe; second, that the war
cannot be ended while a tremendous
engine Of destruction like Germany
remains; third, Russian socialists
have been fed on French revolution
airy literature and would not leave
the French to struggle alone.
Only betrayal by Russian generals
on the eastern front could bring
about a separate peace, London be-
lieves.
II would be willing to give my life
for conference d all socialists to
bring about universal peace" he
said, "but ! should vote against a
separate peace. Socialists and lib
erals are interested In democratic
ing international relations so that
the people will determine war ques-
tions without secret diplomacy. Then,
by establishing international arbi-
tration, we can have real and lasting
peace. All the learned socialist
democrats know certainly will op.
pose the idea OF separate peace

1876 WAS BIGGEST
YEAR FOR ESPEE

San Francisco. April ls.-The
Southern Pacific railroad company
found the year 1916 the biggest year
in its history according to the annual
report OF the board of directors. made
public here today.
The gross revenues were $685.
427, 42S.02," says the report. which
not only exceeded the earnings dur
ing the previous calendar year by
$20,s5s.517.90. but surpassed the
earnings during the fiscal year end
ing June 80. 1915"
In analyzing the income Of the road
the report shows that the freight
traffic was the main source OF in
creased revenues. various causes re-
sulting in decreased passenger reve-
nues.
1T is estimated that the competi-
tion OF automobiles deprived our
company's lines OF earnings in ex-
cess Of 81 900. .OoO." the report says.
but adds that earnings Of $1.150.00o
accrued from transporting troops to
the Mexican border.
In reference to the car shortage
which has been serious throughout
the country. the report points out
that while there has been scarcity
of rolling stock the improvement OF
loading and hauling methods made
possible the handling of 43.45 per
cent greater ton mileage than in
1915.
Referring briefly to the passage OF
the Adamson law, and its effect, the
estimate is made that the law will
increase the payrolls OF the Southern
Pacific by between s1.750,000 and
$4,000. 900.

OLD GLORY

The resolution for the adoption of
the stars and Stripes as the Ameri-
en- emblem was passed by the Con-
tinental congress June II. l777. An
American ship. the Columbia, carried
he American flag around the world
n l7s7-17so.
The American flag was first dis
played In . foreign port from the
mast of the American schooner Bed
ford OF Massachusetts, which arrived
in the British Downs. February 3.
1888.
The first American flag for the
United States navy was flung to the
breeze by John Paul Jones. the first
American naval officer to engage a
foreign foe. This flag had but twelve
stars on it and 1t flew at the topmast
OF the good ship Ranger.
France recognized this flag while
1t floated over the Ranger, and this
act also constituted the recognition
of the young American government.
Every battleship Of the United
States navy is entitled to two hun
dred and fifty American flags every
three years. although there are many
renewals during that period. The cost
Of the flags for each ship is $4,000
which totals a large sum for the
entire navy. The army equally as
many.
The original flag was made in Phil
adelphia from bunting imported from
England in 1776 inst before the Dec
laration Of Independence was pro-
mulgated.
The flag which inspired Francis
Scott Key to write the Star Span
gled Banner" was an immense one,
thirty feet wide and forty-two feet
long. when II was hoisted over Fort
McHenry. near Baltimore. Just as the
British were about to attack the Mon
umental city.
Prof. George Balch OF New York
city inaugurated American Flag
Day" He conducted private school
and on every 18th OF June he held
special exercises OF a patriotic char
acter and every pupil carried flag.
The High School OF New Bedford
was the first public school in the
United States to raise the American
flag over the school house. which II
did on May IL. 1861, about one
month after the fall Of Fort Sumter.
victoriana Huerta died without sa-
luting the American flag. as he was
directed to do by Admiral Fletcher OF
the United States navy, but fate de-
cided that his end should come only
after he sought the protection Of the
American flag on the north side Of
the international boundary line.
The house Of representatives con-
tains an immense American flag, but
the largest one in the world is sus-
pended from the top Of the post Of.
ice department building and drops
900 feet to the inner court.--The
Patriot.
