raise them to healthy manhood and
womanhood But the argument fell
on ears stuffed with the cotton of ig-
norant greed. If war will open their
eyes and ears SO they will know that
a nation must conserve its men,
women and children, then war will
be worth while.
Billy Sunday has gone about the
country for years preaching the old
fashioned hell and damnation gospel,
telling the poor. that if they meekIy
take what their masters give them
here on earth then they shall inherit
the kingdom of heaven. And if they
don't, then they'll go to a regular
lhonest-to-goodness hell and be tor
tUTed by heIlsire through all eter-
nifty. And it is because. Billy
breaches this slaves-obey-yOur-mas-
tiers rot that the masters pour the
shekels into Billy's Outstretched hat
That's one of the curses Of ignorance
that has come with a pihlng peace.
But with war staring them in the
face, the masters don't want a ma
ton of superstitious slaves, afraid of
the mythical fires Of he'll. What they
want now is real men, red-blooded
men, fearless, heroic, fighting men,
who are not afraid of the devil or of
any hostile foreigner who invades
our country with a bayOneted gun in
his hands. And if war puts the Billy
Sundays out of business, then war
will be worth while.
When you look at England's won
derful transformation in less than
three years of war - when you see
how the stupid nobility of that old
country has discovered and recog-
nized the nobility of labor - when
you see what wonderful strides have
been made in cooperation and in the
characterization of industry and even
of social life itself-when you see
the truly wonderful progress toward /
self-government of labor and the !

creeds, cults, isms and osophies Of
peace have really done to bring about
the brotherhood of man.
When the first arguments for pre-
paredness were advanced, I said to
Labor: This is YOUR opportunity,
and explained how and why. Now
that we face WAR, I say to Labor:
This is YOUR opportunity, for
MANHOOD will be at a premium,
and the velvet-tongued heroes OF
peace will have to turn to knitting
socks for soldiers.
The news every day now is won
derfuL We have a Council for Ma
tional Defense. Capital and Labor
are working together to organize the
industry Of the country. Doctors are
organizing the medical resources of
the country. Scientific farmers are
organizing our agricultural resources
our food supply. Engineers, in
ventors, scientists, manufacturers
transportation experts, captains of
finance and industry, captains Of
labOr-al classes are organizing for
a common purpose. With the or
ganization of the parts of our social
and industrial system will come the
organization of the whole.
The great mass of labor will be
with the president and the country.
And the president and the country
will be with labor. A regeneration
of the real manhood of this republic
is on.

Patriotism And Vulgarity

n ATRIOTISM and frivolous spirits do not 90 together
- Much less patriotism and vulgarIty That IS why
good taste Is shocked when the flag Is dragged
to bring applause at the finale Of poor musical comedy
And that why also, British army officer Capt F. C.
De Sumchras IN the United States, could
Gle vulgar cabaret performances with patriotism. He
could not visualize tremendously the cabarets with
giving up their lives in dreadful battle for the sake
Of principle So he left banquet Of the St. Louis Rotary
club without having delivered his scheduled address
Engands side OF the war and war conditions IN general
Capt De Sumhrast told Of the occurrence this way:
q asked to speak Naturally 1 felt that
the question serious and demanded serious
hearing and was surprised TO notice at my ARRIVAL the
noisy hilarious action Of the members sat by the chair
and the shouting grew more and more pronounced as

The first part Of the program was military tableau

The St. Louis Rotary club not only srched the Amer
lean flag If the English officers narrative IS accurate but
smTched also the Of American citizenship and Of the
Rotary clubs Of the country. Russell F. Grelner past
president Of the International Association Of Rotary clubs
said this incident Ihe St Louis club has had
high standing in Rotary. The conduct Of its members
