clear that we wished nothing for our
selves that we were not Grady to de-
mand for all mankind-fair dealing,
justice, the freedom to live and be at
ease against organized wrong.
1t is in this spirit and with this
thought that we have grown more and
more aware, more and more certain
that the part we wished to play was
the part of those who mean to vindt
cate and fortify peace. We have been
obliged to arm ourselves to make good
our claim to a certain minimum of
right and of freedom Of action We
stand firm in armed neutrality since
It seems that in no other way we can
demonstrate what 1t is we insist upon
and can not forego. We may even be
drawn on, by circumstances, not by
our own purpose or desire, to q more
active assertion of our rights as we

or our purpose. They are too clear to
be obscured. They are too deeply
rooted in the principles Of our national

their banks as the result of many
days of heavy rain but, with ample

these states and South Carolina were
stricken.
The upper Tennessee at Knoxville
and Chattanooga overflowed last night
and several hundred persons in those
cities and nearby towns were driven
from their homes. Relief measures
were quickly taken and the homeless
cared for with a minimum Of suffer
ing.

At an entertainment aboard the ship
this traveller was on the band suddenly
began playing the English national
anthem, God Save the King" Every
Englishman promptly arose to his feet
and sang without mistake every word
Of the several verses. Then the Star

American arose but three-fourths of
them had to hum the air. They had
never learned the words Of the repub-

II was one OF those who hummed,"

II has been suggested by those who
have charge of the observance Of

chestras and bands not play the Star

Of other selections. 1t Is a we'll taken
suggestion. The national anthem
should not be cheapened. 1t should be
held as sacred as the flag. It's rem

There is nothing sc necessary to . child's health and comfort as regu- larity of the bowels. All children are especially susceptible to stomach trouble and any overstrain of the sen- sitive organs has tendency to ob- struct elimination.
