The spirit that dominated the
American armies at Bunker Hill.
New Orleans. Buena Vista, Gettys-
burg and Santiago will just as sure
ly dominate the national army on the
battle fields OF Europe.
The United States army has al
ways been and will always remain
a democratic army. Every man in
the army is made to feel that his
brains and his individuality count
for something. 1t is not merely a
big. soulless machine that moves
with mechanical precision.
Democracy in the Army.
Furthermore. American armies are
democratic because the path OF pro-
motion is wide open. Amy man who
has reasonable amount of ability
can practice, can study, can culti-
vate the qualities of a soldier and
And this is the real test of demo-
cratic army.
In a special sense the national
army is democratic. A great democ-
racy must always carry on it's af-
fairs through chosen representatives.
You are doubtless familiar with this
principle as it is applied in time of
peace. Now 1t Is applied in time of
war. Through a process of fair Sc
lection the national army has been
picked to represent all parts of the
country and all groups of the people.
Never has America sent forth an
army SO truly representative of the
nation.
every generation who insist that pa

recent years. Then comes a crisis
such as now confronts US. And al
ways the question of patriotism IS
answered by a free outpouring of ef-
fort, money and blood on the part
of citizens of all types in every sec
ton of the country.
Everybody Must Help.
Every citizen of the United States
now has or will have certain duties
to perform, certain sacrifices TO make.
Many manufacturers and workers
often women as well as men-must
give up their own work and plans in
order to produce war supplies. Those
who remain where they now are-be-

The World of Finance and Trade
LOCAL MARKET SLOW;

Bid Prices Show Few Changes with
Many Stocks Quoted.

Business of the Washington Stock
Exchange during the week which
closed yesterday totaled $17,6OO
bonds and 337 shares of stock-not
so poor when 1t Is remembered that
investors are mighty slow about
making commitments at this time,
and that there is nothing but in
vestment trading on the local
market.
Yesterdays closing session was
the slowest of the week. $1,000 Rail-
way 4 per cent bond at rs and a
few shares of Washington aGs at
72 3-4 being the only sales.
Comparisons made by the con-

vestments of national banks at the
close of business June 80. 1916, with
the showing made at the close of
business June 20. 1917. the date of
the latest call by the controller,
show a shifting to non-taxable
bonds: a disposition to retain rail-
road bond investments for more op-
perfume time for liquidation and a
large increase in miscellaneous
holdings. some of which may have
been taken over in connection with
the settlement of loans.
