congress and was defeated.
At a time when the Old Guard in his
party was never more unpopular, and
when the most unpopular man in this un-
popular party organization was Uncle Joe
Cannon, ED" DENLY got up in his home
town before a large political gathering
and announced that he stood squarely
with Cannon.
1t defeated him, but he stood by his
convictions.
Right or wrong as they may have been,
they We're his convictions. and he refused
to surrender them TO political eXpediency.
In the same campaign, he very bluntly
told organized labor that he was not for
it, and organized labor helped TO defeat
him, but the political history Of Wayne

Denby's Big Sacrifice
Has In 1t the Courage
We Have Met Before

Detroit stands twenty-ffth in point
of enlistments for service in the navy.
There is most certainly nothing in
this fact for US to be proud of as city.
There is a great deal in the fact for
us to be ashamed Of.
The United States-OUR country-is
at war.
The future of the United States-OUR
country-depends upon our success in
war
Before the step was taken which al
Hgned us as a belligerent nation against
Germany, it was the privilege of any
American citizen to oppose that step and
to do his utmost TO defeat it.
BUT
The step has been taken and it is the
duty of EVERY American citizen now to
be FOR it, and it is the duty Of every
American citizen who feels he can be
spared, to come forward and offer his
services to his flag.
Detroit has been backward
But Detroit has just had an object les
son, the effect of which should be to place
1t up high in the list.
Edwin DENLY has shamed every man
in his city who is eligible and who boasts
he is patriotic.
No commission for this big citizen,
thank you.
A commission he refused.
He enlisted to serve in the ranks and
the reason he did so was explained by him
in four words MY country needs men. -
Ex-congressman, ex-president of the
Detroit Board Of Commerce, influential
and prosperous lawyer and well past the
age limit, Ed DENLY heard his coun-
trysocar above everything else. as he
heard it once before, and has answered
It.
There will be few to enlist who will
make the sacrifice that ed" DENLY
makes
He leaves all to lose all, as an inspira-
ton to Detroiters and as an evidence Of
faith in his city's red blood, believing it
necessary only for someone to show the
way for many others to follow.
And yet, come to think of It, what
ED" DENLY has done is only typical Of
. courageous nature which Detroit knows
, well.
We saw with what political courage he

GERMANIA LIFE CHANGES
NAMES OF COMPANY

Genial John Allen has been in the
city this week, and while here he in
formed us that the Germania Life
Insurance Company had changed it's
name to the "Guardian Life Insurance
Company of America"
On January first, Mr.. Allen takes
over the state agency for the COM
pany, his predecessor, Frank Under
man having retired to the shores of
Flathead lake to write books and poe
try.
The change in the name of the COM
pany will not affect in any way the
existing policies previously issued, all
remaining in full force and effect in
accordance with their terms until
natural expiration.
The directors of the company decid-
ed upon this course of action in order
to remove any doubts caused by the
company's old name as to it's national
ity. 1t has been decided to confine
the writing of new business to the
United States.
The Germania Life Insurance COM
pany was incorporated under the laws
of New York in 1860, and it is doing
business in 36 states of the union.
All it's officers are American citizens.
