MORATORIUM MAY
Be FORCED TO SAVE
PROPERTY RIGHTS
GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS LAW
TO SAFEGUARD REALTY AND
PERSONAL RIGHTS OF SOLD
iERS WHILE IN SERVICE WITH
THE FLAG.

Washington, Sept. lS-Legislation
to protect the civil and property rights
of soldiers, in effect moratorium for
the duration of the war in behalf of
men who are serving their country on
the firing line, may be placed upon
the administrations program for this
session of congress as necessary ele-
ment of the raising of citizen army.
"The soldiers and sailors civil
rights BILL" to carry out this purpose,
already has been introduced in both
houses, having been framed in the of
flee of Judge Advocate General Crowd
er. Secretary Baker. ii was learned
today, has under consideration recon-
mendations that the entire weight of
administration influence be brought
to bear to obtain early enactment of
the measure.
To save soldiers and sailors from
all kinds of legal injustices during
their absence from home, the measure
would enjoin the carrying out Of GER
tain civil court actions until after the
close of the war and establish as a
legal excuse for failure to carry out
certain contracts the fact that man
is in the military service.
II is proposed that creditors suits
against officers or men may be held
up and judgment by default denied,
the trainers of the bill recognizing
that a man in the army or navy would
have no opportunity to make his de-
Tense in person or to arrange for its
proper hearing through counsel.
II such a judgment rested against
man at the time of his enlistment
the bill would prevent its execution
through the sale of his property dur.
ing his absence.
1t would set aside the statute of
limitations so that debt owed to
soldier might not be outlawed In his
absence; 1t would prevent the evic-
tion of his family while he was away
II they failed to pay the rent: 1t would
protect his equity in any real estate or
other purchase contract in which he
might have been engaged at the time
ne went into the army; it would pro-
tect him against the ordinary results
OF defaulted payments on business
mortgages and keep him from being
sold out In his absence.
1t also would insure any rights he
might have to public lands although
his service at the front had prevented
MN from completing the legal &C.
quisition Of the property.

The National Anthem.

Similar rules of respect apply when
ever the Star-Spangled Banner is
played. Officers and enlisted men
not in formation stand at attention,
facing toward the music Except at
retreat when they face toward the
fag). They salute at the first note Oh
the anthem, retain the position of
salute until the last note.
Every citizen of the United States,
whether a civilian or a soldier, should
give expression of his loyalty and de-
votion to his country by showing pro-
per marks of respect for the colors
and for the national anthem When
in civilian clothes, wearing hat or
cap, correct thing to do is remove it
and hold 1t in the right hand opposite
the left shoulder while passing an
uncased color or during the playing
of the national anthem. If uncovered,
stand at attention
The common habit of raising slowly,
standing In slouching attitude, and
sometimes even carrying on conserva.
ton, when the national anthem Is
played, is an indication of gross ignor-
ance or ill-breeding On the other
hand, the man who stands silent and
at attention is not only showing pro-
per respect and setting an example
which will have its effect on others,
but is also cultivatng himself the feel
ings Of pride and Of patriotism which
should belong to every citizen of the
country.
1t goes without saying that dis
respect to the American flag can not
be tolerated # any such instances
come to your attention, you should
report them at once to the proper au-
thorities in order that they may be
dealt with in accordance with the
law.

Thousands of brave men in previous
wars have given up their lives to save
the coiors of their country and their
regiment from the enemy's hands.
AS war is now conducted it is no
longer practicable, as a rule, to carry
them into battle and fight under their
folds. But they remain the chief
visible signs OF the objects for which
every soldier is willing to sacrifice
himself II is no wonder that the
colors are priced and guarded with
devoted care
Ordinarily the colors when not in
use are kept in the officer of the
colonel or in front of his tent. Dur
ing the day when the weather per-
mits they are displayed unfurled At
niht during rainy weather they are

furled and protected by an oil cloth
