Every Man to Do His Duty.

| would like to borrow just one
doctrine from the Turk. Wherever
the man Of Moslem faith may go, once
in every "a hours he spreads his
prayer rug and turns his face toward
Mecca and breathes a prayer for the
faith that is in him. | would like to
see every boy in America brought up
to emulate the Moslem doctrine in
this particular-that every day, once
in every "a hours, every boy in
America in fancy, in his minds chapel
would spread his prayer rug, tern his
eyes toward Old Glory. and rededicate
himself to the principles for which
he stands. (Applause.)
In conclusion, let me suggest that
now to us here today down through
more than a century come the words
of Nelson which during that century
have been readapted to suit American
ears. words that have wonderful sig
nificance at this time, and words that
are directly applicable to the issue be-
fore this House today: America ex-
pects-not merely volunteers, but

GREENE ON CONSUMPTION
Vermont Congressman UPholds Ad-
ministration Army Bill

One of the most effective speeches
delivered on the floor of the house q
representatives in favor of the ad
mnistration's selective conscription
military service bill, was that given
by Congressman Frank H. Greene OF
St Adams. member of the house
military affairs committee. The fol
lowing excerpts are reprinted from
the report in the Congressional Rec
ord dealing with Mr. Greenes re-
marks regarding the bill:
realize. as you all do. that | must
dwell briefly on what / hope to sug'
gest to you, even il do not persuade
you by the suggestion of it, ! think
the fundamental proposition involved
here is the very same fundamental up
on which depends the continuity OF
our government. Its philosophy, its
form of operation, and the theory un-
der which it is administered are so
simple that all of us must get in agree
ment upon It, 1t is that the relation
of the citizen to the State is that of
a party to bilateral contract. If he
enjoys from his government protec-
ton and security in his life, limb
and property, and his liberty. as he
goes about every day in his ordinary
peaceful employments, he is under the
reciprocal obligation of maintaining
the power that so protects him. We
all agree To- that We agree that is
the larger part perhaps of our theory
of republican democracy. Therefore
il we all start out, as we do by com
mon consent, on the theory that every
man owes to his government the sac
rifice of his life if need be to pre-,
serve and maintain in peace or in
war the very power that preserves and
maintains him. why should not every
man in time of national stress and
emergency be liable TO come into the
army and defend. his country? And ii
he is unwilling to perform his part OF
that obligation, why should he not be
compelled by that government to
come in? (Applause.) Where does
the logic lie that man who rests
upon the governments obligation in
this blateral contract may have his
option to volunteer whether he will

One Thousand Flags to Be
Sold for DECORATING Cars

The flag Subcommittee of the M.
c. Peters registration day committee
has obtained 1000 flags which they
have arranged to sell at cost, Is cents,
to those who want them for decora-
ton purposes during the week OF June
2 to 6, when the entire city is to be
ahame with the Stars and Stripes.
The Omaha Auto club has taken a
large number of these flags and will
dispense them to its members for use
on the automobiles and in other deco
rations at cost.
The oil companies have taken large
numbers OF them TO be sold at the oil
filling stations to those who want to
decorate their cars with them. With
the flags obtainable at the filling sta
tions and at the headquarters OF the
Auto club, it is expected that cars will
be well decorated with the national
colors during those days which EN-.
brace the draft registration day,
June 5.
Business houses and office buildings
in the city in general are responding
splendidly to the call for special deco
rations, and though flags and bunting
are somewhat scarce in the city, they
have all indicated that they will have
their respective places we'll draped
with the colors.
