why THE Chain, SIR?
TO Hold MY JOB, SIR
If Government Employees Lose Passes,
They Get Fiired-Do You See2

If you happen to see a man walking
along the streets one of these days with
two chains spanned across his vest, don't
come to the hasty conclusion that he is
queer and carries two watches. because
you are wrong.
He is simply a government employe
who has a watch attached to one chain
and a pass to his office at the end of the
other chain.
This is one of the results of "precau-
tionary measures which the war scare
has given birth to.
The employees OF Uncle Sam are not
taking any chances. They have learned
that the possibility of a war is as serious
business as war itself Listen to the
experience OF several clerks.
In the State, War and Navy Building
one Of the employees lost his pass Al
though he was well known to the door
men and guards of the building, he was
not admitted to work. The matter was
brought to the attention Of his superiors
with the result that he was suspended
from work for thirty days.
In the same building another clerk had
the same misfortune. He was not sus-
pended, because he had only been in the
service for several weeks, but he was
warned that If he should be careless
again he would be discharged for the
good of the service"
These examples have become known
to the thousands of government en-
ployes, with the result that they know
by this time just what precautions must
be taken.

PATRIOTISM MARKS
UNIVERSITY DINNER
Col. Harvey and Other Speakers at
Banquet Advocate Americanism.

Thank God. II also-am an Ameri-
cam"
| This sentiment, which prefaced the pro-
gram, expresses the spirit which pre-
vailed at the thirteenth annual dinner of
the University Club of Washington at the
Willard last night, where several hum
dred business and professional men gath
when they were college boys, to be fed
, with intellectual barbecues" and to
make merry generally.
An address by Col. George Harvey,
| journalist and publicist of New York,
| surpassed all of the many features of the
| occasion. He spoke of the internation
situation, and his remarks were after
ward referred to by John Temple Graves,
who presided as toastmaster, as epochal.
! He was wont to refer to Americans as
Gods children" and yehemently de-
nounced any power which dared to trans
gress against the rights OF this country.
| Col. Harvey declared that those who are
responsible for the European conflict
should be shorn of their power over their
own or other people.
If war should come between this coun-
try and Germany. Col. Harvey warned
that I'VE do not have any illusions with
respect to war" While he believed that
the time may come when a league to
enforce peace will be a universal organi-
zation. he emphasized that the pressing
need of this hour is a league to enforce
war, to work for the end that peace may
come quickly.
He declared that he hated war even
though 1t was a righteous war" but
| that he also hated a sinful peace"
He made frank criticisms of the Ameri-
can people and declared that while the
people of this country did not lack intelli-
gence they did refuse to learn. He be-
lleves that Americans sometimes demon
strated a stupidity surprising the British
themselves"
Another patriotic address was made by
Representative ]. Thomas Heflin, of Ala
bama. who protested against "'the peace
and happiness of our people depending
upon a council of war lords in Europe"
Another speaker was Rev. DR.. James
Shera Montgomery. whose enthusiastic
emphasis of the rights OF this country was
frequently interrupted with long ap-
plause.
In his Introductory remarks Mr.. Graves
saw a danger arising in this country in
the form OF money making" He made
a plea for more sentiment and real and
fearless thinkers" He expressed the
hope that the thought of the United
States be not engulfed in commercialism
Among the entertainers were George H.
