there are. of course, many less con-

The nervous tension everywhere
in evidence is at the high water mark.
The enduring nerves of strong men
are at the breaking point-and those
of weak men are shattered. The
nation is keyed up to the highest
pitch 'of excitement that living men
can remember. Human interest in the
fast racing swirl of events about US
has been whetted to keen edge. The
ideals of nation, of a people are at
stake The cause of freedom is on
trial. Human lives and PERSONAL ac-
compishments, the dreams OF
mighty country, the ideals of peace
and democracy are dehed and men
are needed
And why? Because we face a
crisis-the great crisis.
After two years of exerting every
possible effort and energy, influence
and strategy to keep from out OF the
melting pot of the great war in
which nations fates, mems lives and
human souls are crushed, renfodeled,
ruined and changed we find ourselves
pushed from the ledge from, which
we have watched developments and
plunged into the awful imbroglio and
He'll of war.
And no one has faltered! The
American people as with one voice
have arisen and with the inspired
cry For the Freedom of the World
have Joined their allies and entered
the unholy maelstrom for the great
est of all causes, Freedom and Lib
erty.
It is in such times, when all about
US are excitement and enthusiasm,
and high strung nerves, that genius
gives birth to the immortal brain
child which is handed down to pos
terity for ages to come
It was under similar conditions
only a f.tle over a hundred years

What Evers Remarked
to Umpire Byron When
Official Had Black Eye

Umpire Byron has had enough adj
vertising, such as it is, in the recent
press But the following dialogue
taken from the August Baseball Mag
azine throws a few additional side
lights on a pretty tough job
Dialogues between John. Evers and
Umpire Byron are always interesting.
During one of the recent Red Boston
games; Mr.. Byron appeared with a
magnificent black eye, which he al
legged he got IN a friendly boxing bout
with soft gloves Apparently, Mr..
Evers didn't believe it. and this was
about the way their act ran from the
first inning till Mr.. Evers went away
from there. r.
Mr.. Evers: Ah-h-r, two feet OUT
side the plate! Who slipped you the
sinner? G
Mr.. Byron; Two strikes.
Mr. Evers: If I had an eye like
that lid be ashamed to come on
ball field.
Mr.. Byron: Next batter-r rup!
Mr.. Evers: Say, that one Twonbly
baseman knows it, too. Everybody
knows it but you on had that black
eye turned towards the play.
Mr.. Byron: Fair ball.
Mr.. Evers: Disgrace to the Ma
tional League, that's what it is, to
have an umpire brawling and fight
ing round. and getting black eyes.
Mr.. Byron: Say, you
Mr.. Evers: only wish John Tener
was here today, SO he could see his
pet umpire, and the condition his eye
is in

Mr.. Evers: On the level, Matty,

Mr.. Evers: Black as hat. Black
as midnight. I never see such an eye.
Mr.. Byron: You get outa here!

ner." Always, mems greatest con-
ceptions are created under abnormal
conditions-the result of divine in
spiration.
And now in our own time with
our country facing the great crisis
Edmund Vance Cooke, the eminent
American poet and lecturer, has
penned a masterpiece, poem en-
titled For the Freedom of the
World"
An inspired writing his poem has
touched upon the great theme of
liberty and peace. The action of the
American people in joining their al
lies in the greatest war that history
has ever recorded was his inspira-
ton.
]. S. Zanecnik, the we'll known
composer of American birth, famed
for his stirring marches, has com
posed a musical setting to Mr..
Cookies master poem which finds a
ready response in the hearts of red
b1ooded men.
As if these two Americans inspir-
ed by the Great International Crisis
had struck a responsive chord in the
souls of all people. this song has
found a place deep in their hearts.
Every band in the United States
Army and Navy is playing it and
the boys are singing it as they march.
1t bids fair to take the place in the
American and Allied Armies today
that ''Tipperary held but a short
time ago.
And so the American Soldier Boy
goes off to war, we lnow-and to
Victory we hope, for the great pur-
pose of Freedom and Liberty "For
the Freedom of the World" is the
purpose for which he is fighting; Il
is his watchword. his motto, and the
song upon his lips.

Food Economy

There is more or less humbug in the
schemes for meatless days, sugarless
days, etc. 1t takes a certain quanti-
ty and variety of food to keep the hu-
man system in good bodily health.
The man who goes without lunch eats
enough breakfast and dinner to make
it up. Going without meat means a
heavier consumption Of other living
commodities. The chief opportunity
for economy is in not wasting Of food
If variety be sacrificed for cheapness,
ill health is most likely to result. The
government bureaus can render good
service by informing the people from
time to time just what foods contain
the largest amount of nutriment and
food value, and proportion to cost, but
this should not be done with any refer
ence to cheapness on the part of the
consumer. Going without needed food
is not economy-it is waste of human
energy.
Eliminating Public Luxury
Out in Portland, Oregon, city com
missioner has discontinued the use of
large touring car furnished him by
the city and has discharged the chauf-
fer. When he has occasion to travel
ON public business, he will ride with
one of the inspectors. Now, II this
real economy would only spread to
Washington, d. c., lot of big autos,
to say nothing of yachts, might be
available for real public service.

breeding or conforming to a certain
breed standard. These animals are

The thoroughbred is breed of hor-

WASHINGTON NOTES
Would Recognea osteopaths


Washington, July 24.-(Special cor
Observation-Disclosures Addison
T. Smith, of Idaho, has prepared two
bills with the purpose of permitting
doctors of osteopathy to enter exam
nations for commissions in the medi-
cal examinations for commissions in
the medical branch of the army and
navy. Mr.. Smith sees no reason why
that school Of medicine should be dis
criminated against, and believes that
If its followers should demonstrate
their ability in the examinations re-
quired by the army and navy, they
should be given commissions in the
service. Mr.. Smith provides that
those receiving appointments shall
have the same official rank and pay
and allowance of officers of CORES
ponding rank in the medical branch Of
the service"
Senate Employees Donate Ambulance
The Red Cross ambulance which has
been provided by the senate employ
ees, through the donating of each Of a
days pay, has arrived and will be ship
ped to France at once to enter upon
its mission of mercy.
1t has been placed on exhibition at
the foot of the steps of the senate
wing on the capitol, where it has re-
eeived the careful inspection Of the
contributors to the fund for its pur-
chase. 1t is not thing Of beauty, be-
ing dull gray in color, with no orns-
mentation whatever, but the design Of
the ambulance has already proven its
efficiency in actual service, and the
addition to our hospital corps abroad
will well repay the sacrifice which its
purchase entailed.
Tobacco for Soldiers
Two bills, that will meet with the
hearty approval of thousands Of men
in the army and navy have been in
troduced by Congressman Norman ].
Gould or New York. They provide
that the rations Of the army, navy and
marine corps shall be increased by the
addition of sixteen ounces of tobacco
per month. In Mr.. Gould's opinion
this small quantity will do no harm to
the men, but, on the contrary, furnish
needful comfort in the trials through
which they will have to pass in the
near future. The bills have been re-
ferred to the military and navy COM
mittees, and Mr., Gould will exert him
self TO obtain a favorable report on
them.
