The American Flag. When Freedom from her mountain
 height
 Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore the azure robe of night, And set the stars of glory there; She mingled with it's gorgeous dyes The milk baldric of the skies, And striped its pure, celestial white With streakings of the morning
 light;
 Then from his mansion in the sun She called her eagle-bearer down. And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land" JOSEPH ROMAN DRAKE

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Another hostile
airplane raid on London occurred to-
night. There were apparently two at
tacks, for after a quiet interval OF
forty minutes anti-aircraft guns re-
sumed firing in the London district.
In the first attack, after brisk firing
by the defensive guns, lasting only ten
minutes. the raiders were driven off be-
fore they reached the city.
The firing Of the anti-aircraft guns
in the second attack was of only brief
duration. The raiders were finally
driven off and the police gave out the
"all clear" signal at $3.50 o'colck.
A report Of the raid was issued by
Field Marshal French as follows:
"The Thames estuary was again the
objective of a hostile air raid this
evening. The Kent and Essex coast
was crossed at various points. and a
few bombs were dropped, but no cas-
ualties are yet reported.

southeastern outskirts Of London

Not Promises, but
Actual Evacuation,
Cermany's Only Hope
[Special Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Sept. est was the
belief here to-day that a promise by
Germany to evacuate Belgium, North
eIn France, Serbia and other occupied
territories would not be sufficient,
short of the actual evacuation, TO in
duce the United States to discuss peace.
The feeling here is that although both
Germany and Austria-Hungary ardent
" desire peace they are not ready TO
take the necessary steps to obtain it,
and that any discussion not accompa-
MED by executed promises on their
part would be idle and injurious.
II was stated on high authority to-
day that President Wilson's reply to
the Pope covers the peace situation so
far as the United States is concerned,
and that the situation with respect TO
Austria Hungary remains unchanged.
These assertions were made at the
State Department in response TO in
uuiries seeking to elicit this govern
ment's view of the German and Austro-
Hungarian answer 10 the Vatican S
peace proposal. II the intentions OF
berlin and Vienna were TO ''fetT' out
the United States and induce this gov
ernment to commit itself in some new
declaration they have failed COM

America Looks for
Declaration of War to
Follow Argentine Break

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Besides
further consolidating the Americas in
the war for democracy, the addition OF
Argentina to Germany's list Of enemies
would mean the partial relieving OF
the United States and Brazilian fleets
in the patrol of the South Atlantic.
The action of the Senate and Cham
Der of Deputies created little surprise
among officials of the State Depart
ment, and it is believed here that the
break will be followed by war.
President Iroygen has been con-
sistent in his determination not TO per
NIT his country TO take any other than
a neutral position. but 1t IS considered
improbable that he will veto the action
OF the legislative branch Of his govern
ment.

gentina to regain her prestige in South

Bavaria Makes Separate
Reply to the Pope's Note

BERLIN, Sept. "a. The Bavarian
government has made an individual
reply to the peace proposals of Pope
Benedict, according to a special dis
patch from Munich to the "Zeitung
am Mittag."
1t is taken for granted that the Ger
man imperial government is fully con-
versant with the contents OF the reply
made by King Ludwig.
The procedure which has resulted in
the sending of two replies to the Pope
from Germany is explained on the
ground Of international and diplomatic
law. As the German Pspal delegate is
accredited TO Bavaria. the Pope's note
was delivered 10 King Ludwig, whose
reply is said to have reached the Pope.
Its publication is expected shortly. IL
is stated the two notes concur IN ma
terial aspects, but that it is understood
the Bavarian answer goes into details
on certain points.

nounce Government
[ Special Correspondencel

BOSTON, Sept. 25.-The Boston Clan
na-Gael to-day came out squarely IN
support Of Justice Daniel F. Cohalan.
1t issued u public statement critics.
ing Secretary Lansing for connecting
Justice Cohalan with the German plots;
praised John Dewey, editor Of The
Gaelic American" for charging that
the United States betrayed Ireland
and accused the Wilson Administration
Of being responsible with bloodstained
Britain for the murders" Of Irish revo-
lutionists.
The statement was authorized at the
regular meeting Of the board Of officers
of the Clan a-Gael. 1t says in part:
"We, the officers of the Clan-ns-
Gael of Boston, as an answer to the
latest British proclamation froh the
United States State Department at
Washington unanimously vote pub
licly to thank Judge Cohalan and
John Devoy. editor of The Gaelic
American for their efforts year
before the United States declared
war on Germany to aid the men IN
Ireland to strike blow for freedom
against the foulest tyranny Of CIV
ilized times, beside which the worst
that has been imagined in connec-
ton with Belgium pales into insig-
nifcance.
"The fact that cable from Dublin
to New York had been relayed from
New York to Berlin by wireless, COM
pleting arrangements for German as
! sistance for the revoiutionists, was
published first by John Dewey, in the
Gaelic American of October %, 1915,
in connection with his charges tnaC
the United States had seized THIS
message IN It's illegal raid on Won
Igels office and had turned II over 20
the British government.
"The publication now by the United
States government of the wording OF
this cable and the incidents attending
it's seizure, in the minds OF the of.-
GERS of the Boston Gamma Gael,
proyes conclusively the charge that
United States official deliberately be-
trayed 70 their enemies the lrishmen
who sought to follow in the footsteps
of Emmett in Ireland, and Washington
in the United States, and free their
country from Britain's yoke.
"Th;s virtual admission of this be-
trayal makes the United States Ad-
ministration, or it's officers, equally
responsible, it seems to US, with
blood-stained Britain, for the muir
ders of Pearse, MacDonough. Plunkett,

Retaliation Called For
This week has been named "alr RAID
week" and from now on until the end
of the first week in October the public
is certain to remain close at home and
in places of shelter unless bad weather
sets in. The people Of London now ac-
cept the raids as a matter OF course,
and there is little inclination to cry
"baby killers!" In fact. not one paper
to-day prints anything denouncing the
Germans for the raids.
The demand for reprisals heard to-
day is not the wild cry of an eye for an
eve that the first raids Of the year pro-
duced II is rather a serious expression
of the belief that the one answer OF
the problem lies in similar acts agaihss ~
German cities. To-day's STANDARD
says: ,,r0
"The only true counter to aeroplane
invasion Is retaliation IN double meas
ure. We have never advocated reprlsalI
in a spirit of empty revenge, but regard
them from the standpoint Of military
advantage. An attack on German
towns. quite apart from its moral ef'
feet, means transferring to the enemy
the handicap he at present places upon
us. II is one argument that VIII con-
vince Germany that raids do not pay.

been the strongest advocate OF re-
prisals, says: ;,.o

England. The war must also be car

The recent raids and the public has
come TO regard them as dehhIte
enemy attack rather than as spec
tacle. The tendency now IS for tne
public to seek places of real safety as
soon as warning is given. rather than
display the bravado of former days
standing in the streets and on the
house tops.
There is a big demand for warnings
of these night raids similar TO the
daylight signals, because the hour the
raiders approached last night found the
streets filled with people and the DAN
ger as great as in daylight.

Reichstag Peace Plan De
nounced by Party
Governors
Fatherland's Safety
Depends on Might
Parliamentary Changes and
Conciliatory Policy Tow
ard Foes Also Attacked

BERLIN, Monday, sept "a, via Lon
don. Sept. 25.-The Central Governing
Committee Of the National Liberal
party, in general session yesterday,
adopted resolution outlining the at
titude of the party in regard TO cur
rent foreign and domestic issues. In
the new platform, which was adopted
unanimously, the Reichstag's peace
resolution Of June 10 is roundly scored
as inimical to Germany's future devel-
opment. The resolution continues:
"Germany's future security cannot
rest on international treaties alone.
II must be founded on German might
and strength. Without ample war in
IDENTITIES Germany would not be pro-
tected against future menace, and our
political and economic development
would be retarded by decades.
THE military situation gives us tho
surety that Germany's borders are re-
ceiving ample protection. and that our
economic future as result is fully
safeguarded"
The resolution opposes the introduc-
ton OF q parliamentary system, but
calls for confidential and intimate CO.
operation between the government and
the Reichstag. II also opposes the
broaching of the Alsace-Lorrsine prob
lem, either now or at the time OF the
peace negotiations. The familiar crit
icism Of President Wilson is contained
in the resolution.
In addressing the committee Dr.
Gustav Stresemann outlined the party's
national platform, which swings this
faction far to the Right among the
Reichstag parties on the strength OF
the principles enunciated by DR.. Strese-
mann and subsequently incorporated in
the resolution. DR. Stresemann stated
that in the present excellent military
and political situation Germany was
prepared to begin peace negotiations.
The submarine, he asserted, was the
deciding weapon. At the outset of the
war British tonnage compared with
German in the ratio of five TO one.
England was now compelled, he said
to carry on the war with stop watch ii
hand.
The Reichstag peace resolution, put

lest next years total might be $780,

necessary to prosecute the war, but our
DUTY is TO trim down extravagant and
useless appropriations. The govern
men.'s finances are in a perilous sit

country Yes, if necessary to win this
