N. J., as was reported to her, Because she views the report of the purported death with suspicion and thinks it may be a subterfuge of the one whose name she bears to free himself from irksome matrimonial bonds and. at the same time. escape possible prosecution. Mrs. Wilskas has asked the police to communicate with the New Jersey authorities and re- ceive official notification of the supp posed death,
 If the reported death proves . fact she plans soon to repeat her trip 'to the altar another having wooed and won her. But he must wait until she knows whether she is a widow ar a deserted wife. She feels that being a. widow is no reason why she should not again marry but she does not in- tend to run the possibility of having two husbands alive, even if one keeps his whereabouts unlsnown and never bothers her.
 In her story to the police, she says that her husband mysteriousiy left her about two years ago and she has never heard from him since then. letter was received by her May IS. 1916, from Irony Barasas'' to the effect that her husband had gone under the wheels of railroad train at Jersey City three days before, meeting instant death. But just the reported death from an unidentified person was not satisfactory to her and she wrote for more particulars. Her letter and others remained un- answered and she is suspicious that Tony may have been her, husband or a confederate in his scheme to aliay suspicion and prevent search for him. She said that she would call at po- ice headquarters frequently to learn what response is made by the, New Jersey authorities.

words of the poet on their lips:
Great God we thank Thee for this
home,
This bounteous birth place of the
free,
Where wanderers from afar may
come,
And breathe the air of liberty,
O may her flowers untrampled spring.
Her harvests wave, her cities rise;
And yet till time shall fold its wings,
Remain earths lovliest paradise.
patriotism fired the tongue or
Webster, flame from the lips of Sum
ner and thrilled in Wendell Phillips
trumDter notes, and when the loyal
heart of the nation trembled in our
national crisis, patriotism held the
soul of Lincoln true, while his firm
hand guided our Ship of State safely
through the treacherous rocks and
trying stolms Of conflict, into the ha-
ven of peace. Patriotism gave edge
and power and victory to that blade
whose dauntIess skill decided the is
sues of the war, SO that when Grant
sheathed his sword, for the love OF
his country, he said: Let us have
peace." Hundreds, aye thousands
more were also true patriots they liv-
ed. loved and died for their country
and they were warriors of the truest
and noblest kind. They like the Rom
ans spared neither land nor gold"
and they could say; PITY it is that
we can die but once to serve our
country"

they were patriots while all the time
working for their own ends.
1T is most fitting that every Amer
lean should be patriotic for where
under the canopy of heaven can be
found better justice and truer liberty
and a better government? Americas
national Institutes are such as must
excite a feeling of pride in the hearts
of all lovers of liberty. And where
can be found a country that has a
more noble foundation than ours. A
government so conceived and dedica-
ted as ours has been, is worthy of all
possible veneration, for it was the
price of blood that gave us liberty
and our government is we'll worth it's
cost Even today the words Of Patrick
Henry ring in our ears, Give me lib
erty or give me death"
We must love our country above
all others because she as no other
is, the land of human liberty. Take a
way freedom from nation and what
is all the rest? Loss of liberty is the
loss of light and sunshine. Humanity
has never ceased to dream of liberty
and to aspire after its possession.
But not until the Republic of the
West was born, not until after the
Star Spangled Banner was lifted to
the skies, no not until then was lib
erty caught in humanities embrace
and embodied in a great and abiding
nation. Is there then not reason for
Americans to live for their country,
and if need be to die for it, with the

road and now member of the Rail-

The war board feels Mr. Elliott
said, that it is going to he a great
deal more important for this country
TO move food, fuel and iron and the
like than to move luXuries. We hope
that we are going to be able to move
them all, but l think it is only fair
to point out the facts and to ask the
public's support.
"On May l there was. according to
the record. a shortage of 10000 cars.

better movement by the railroad and
more alert work by every man on the
