DiSloyalty

The sympathetic attendance Thursday of A.
600 persons in Seattle at the "peace' meetings
called by ''The Peoples Council preliminary to
a national meeting of this organization in Sep
TENDER at Minneapolis cannot be contemptuously
ignored, tho their agitation is ill-timed and de-
serving Of the severest censure.
Behind the responsibility of Col @. e. S. Wood
Of Portland, and DR.. Jordan in California, and
the Sydney Strongs in Seattle, are gathered real
enemies of the United States, those who are not
above cutting the throat of this nation if they
could get the opportunity.
Peace? Certainly we want peace. The whole
world wants peace But peace meetings in Seat
tie and in Minneapolis are not going to loosen the
grip of the kaiser ON Belgian and Serva and Ru-
mania.
They are not going to guarantee the world
against repetition of the ruthless barbarism
which plunged the world into this bloody con-
flict. The only influence such peace meetings
can have, at this time, when the kaiser proclaims
himself victorious, is to give German autocrats
the idea that America is so torn by dissension and
strife that it will not be able to put into the
the decisive punch which WOULD end it.
The peoples Council offers nothing to guar
antee REAL peace.
And because it does not, it does not deserve
support from loyal Americans The peoples
Council" serves, whether consciously or uncon-
sciously, only the kaiser in Berlin and the kaiser
lings in this country.

Dear Miss Grey: What
are we Americans celebrat-
ing?
Oh, why should Old Glory
be floating from the peak Of
the masts when our sons and
fathers, husbands and broth
ers and sweethearts are pre-
pairing to journey across the
ocean to the trenches to face
the German bullets?
Is this a time to have the
Stars and Stripes floating
from the top of the masts?
Where will we put it when
the war is over? Certainly
for the present we cannot af-
ford to put it at half mast
or we might be misunderstood
as taking 1t for granted that
we already felt defeat.
Why should not our flag
fly about three-quarters of
the way up the pole? Then
IL we should meet with mis-
fortune in battle, mayhap our
president or some of our
best officers may hoist It half
mast. Or, II our prayers are
answered and our boys win
we would have a chance to
show our patriotism by flying
the Stars and Stripes from
the very top of the mast.

W
BUTTE, Mont, Aug. 18.-Butte
Industrial Workers of the World
are preparing today for the gen.
eral walkout in Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana Monday.
At secret meeting of the Butte
local, the |. w. w. pledged full
support to the general strike, it
was learned today.
Jim Larkin, |. w. W. leader
who was driven out of Butte a
year ago because of his seditious
talk, is here today, Strengthening
the local branch Of the orgahiza-
ton.
Larkin will leave Butte Sunday
afternoon for Portland to direct
the |. w. w. Northwest walkout.
I. w. w. propaganda following
the Frank Little killing started at
home today. Moving pictures of
Little are being shown at Walker
vile, suburb of Butte. The
mayor of the town refused to in
terfere with the exhibition of the
pictures. The pictures will be
shown all over the country.
Fifteen thousand persons are
expected to attend the mass meet
ing late today at which Congress-
woman jeanette Rankin will
speak. 1t is generally surmised
that she will attack the "rustling
card" which the Metal Mine Work
ers' union want abolished.
Judge Covington, sent to Mon
tana by President Wilson to in
vestigate labor troubles, is lost to-
day.
Federal officials both here and
in Washington are attempting to
locate him. They confess they are
worried. Nothing has been heard
from Covington since he left the
east.

LORNA.
Ave practice so little OF
ceremony In the United States
that we forget there is any. The
rules for flying the national flag
have been formulated for the use
of the army and navy and are fol-
lowed at all army posts, garrisons,
forts and on shiPboard. These
ceremonies are for the purpose OF
discipline and to impress the OBJ
server with u sense of the dignity
Of the government for which the
flag stands. At the libraries you
can find much Of interest about
the various flags belonging to
branches of the army and navy.

A.-There are, no doubt, a few
silly girls whose eyesights are
dazzled by brass buttons and gold
braid. But for the most part, I
believe women are attracted to

respect and reverence our flag, do
women admire the men who stand

tinue to endure.
