Simply this: My completed idea of the origin and destiny of our Re- public," was his ready answer. "We are polyglot nationality. There are no longer any Americains in the old fashioned sense of the term. We have been recruited from the four corners of the earth to become integral parts of Federal organism that was born in the fiery flames of 1861-65 and the subsequent Reconstruction. Now the menace of the monarchical tyranny from which we or our ancestors sever- ally fled is upraised against us in the form of militant imperialism. The fall of our nation will be the assured cor ollary of sequal of its founding unless we nerve ourselves to strike, and strike hard, against the foes without and the traitors and palterers with in." ..
 "Now as to the story?" I asked. "Does it parallel in any way "The Birth of a Nation?" -..
 "No, it does not. The problems of 1917 are not the problems of 1861. Slavery as an issue was forever wiped out by the earlier events. The issue stands today betwixt Freedom and Imperialism. My hero is a patriotic Polish-American with a passion for the land of liberty. The heroine is a beautiful, clever but misguided young woman who links the causes of Peace Unpreparedness and Suffragism as the twin forces for the worlds emancipa- ton In the course of the story she discovers her awful error and the monstrosity of the crime she has un- willingly committed against Amer ican freedom. When the Viceroy of the United States is firmly estab- lished on his throne at Washington and her lover is fugitive leader of the American guerilllas in the Sier- ras, she enters into gigantic con- spiracy for the restoration of the American republic. Here arises an other problem as momentous as the previous one. What is Woman's role in War? If she cries Peace! Peace! No arms! in fair weather, must she not be willing to sacrifice her all ir the hour of national tragedy? My heroine, at any rate, is of the stuff of Joan of Arc"

HIGH PRICE OF FLAG
 IS RESENTED

One would think that the American Flag--sacred symbol of nationality and token of patriotism-would be above the desecratory hands of the extortioner. But the recent advance in the price of flags looks like mean ly sordid attempt, by greedy inter ests, to turn patriotic impulses to profit. An official of the United Statse treasury denounces this exorbitance as Outrageous" and an official in- quiry may be instituted to hold up to execration and, if legally possible, to punishment, those guilty of this sell fish exploiting of the peoples patriot ism.
 The Flag above all things, sould be free from all taint of sordidity and crass commercialism. It should be sold at a reasonable price, with no ex- cessive profits from its sale for any body.

In the Old Testament seven possessed
mystic significance. For seven days
seven priests with seven trumphets in
vested Jericho and on the seventh en-
compassed it seven times. Elisha sent
Naaman to wash in the Jordan seven
times. Ten times seven Israelites went
to Egypt and the exile lasted six years.
According to very ancient teaching the
soul Of man and his body are composed
of seven properties which were under
the influence of seven planets. Fire
gave the sense of feeling. Water gave
the sense of speech. Air gave the sense
Of taste. Mist gave the sense of sight,
Flowers gave the sense of hearing.
South wind gave the sense of smelling.
Clouds gave the sense of movement.
In the United States seven is frequent
ly found. To begin with there is
America. Then the Presidents Madi-
son, Garfield, the two Harisons; john
son and Lincoln.

sale or entry III state landS * actual-
| " sold or leased, or under process Of
sale or lease, until thorough investi-
cation shall have been made of the
value of those lands as prospective oil
fields. The present arbitrary action of
