Message.

V1GSS0XGs
Chancellor ]. N. Powers of the
State University. used the following
language in an address to the stu
dent body in giving emphasis to
President Wilson's celebrated war
message:
To moments in the history of
the nation stand out as the most
prominent expositions of the heart
and soul of the people. One was
when the immortal Declaration of
Independence heralded to the world
the democracy of America. The
other moment came a few days ago
in the message of our president
which has already electrified the
world. Everywhere it has heartened
mankind. Woodrow Wilson has
expressed our ideals. In this mes
sage is found the soul of America,
its feelings, its hopes, its aspirations,
its ideals, its democracy, all shine
forth in the expressions found in
this notable paper. Everywhere on
the face of the earth men will treas
ure these ideals. Their souls will
respond to these principles which
they have felt but have never been
able to express in such luminous
words of hope. From this day for
ward. mankind will thank God for
these American ideals, which one
day will become world ideals. Our
people are thanking God for this
message of our President, which is
the expression of the soul of the
American Republic. The message
is benedictiOn to mankind"

Flag Dayl

The patriotism that stirred the
soul of the old South will be re.
asserted under the Stars and
Stripes next Sunday afternoon al
2:30 o'clock. 1t was love of coun-
try that moved the old South for
their country, as they saw it then.
1t will be love of country of their
sons and daughters and the few
survivors of the old South that
will move them to honor their
flag, as they see it now.
The occasion will be hosting
the United States flag from a
community flagstaff. which has
been erected near the foot of the
sacred spot where the C0nfed-
crate Monument towers on Com
merce street.
While thousands of national
flags have floated from the bust
ness houses and homes of Aber-
deem since war was declared, the
demonstration. next Sunday. will
have a wider and more compre-
hensiye meaning, and will in
clude the patriotism of every
unit of county population, re-
CARELESS of class, nationality or
other distinction. 1t means that
every man. woman and child that
breathes beneath the skies of
Monroe county has a part in this
demonstration, and is expected to
emphasize that part in his alleg-
lance to our country. The &C.
casion is not for the people of
Aberdeen alone. but for the peo-
pie of all the county. Every COM
and every neighboring
town and community is earnestly

Germany has decided to block

United States boat was fired upon
Tuesday by a German submarine
off the New York coast, but the
torpedo went wide of the mark.
IfGermany attempts to blockade
the ports of all countries at war

to approach anything like an eff
