WAR BEGAN IN APRIL, 1919
Hugo War Credit Was In That Year
Voted In Germany and Supported
by SoclaIIsts

When did the war begin? April,
1913; not August, 1914, as the press
always has 1t, writes Charles Edward
Russell In Harper's. The real declara-
ton Of war was made by the German
reichstag when 1t struck observing
Europe dumb and chill by passing, an
extraordinary war credit Of S250,OOO,-
600; and to that act Of belligerency In
a time Of profound peace the socialists
in the reichstag gave practically their
support.
All men in the world accustomed to
make upon the days news an fntelli-
gent diagnosis must have gasped and
stared at this portent. Unless Ger
many deliberately planned now to
bring down upon mankind the war her
armament had silently threatened these
many years, there was no good reason
for this perilous saber rafting; GER
tainly none appeared In the state OF
Europe. Yet the socialists seemed to
be for It; that was the Incompetent
sible fact.
August Bebel, then still active, was
the ablest and most famous Of their
leaders, and criticism from many lands
seemed to goad him into a defense
It was Of a nature to chill the last
hope in any friend Of peace. Two
reasons he gave for the reichstag'i
action. One was that President Poin

The judicious might grieve indeet
when they came upon such an offering
from such a source, and anybody abb
to read might see that war was clos
at hand.

"FREEDOM'S FLAG FOREVER"
BY Peter S. Lawton.
Stand by the Flag of Freedom
BY the Red and White and Blue,
Our country's star-lit Standard;
Democracy's banner true.
Stand by those stars in azure,
And those stripes of Red and
White,
They plead Might of Mercy,
In their cause of creed Alright.
They're Liberty's protector,
Fer since Pilgrim saber drew;
Humanity's defender,
In the Old World like the New.
The freeman's prayers answer,
Blessed message from On High!
The human dream triumphant;
Let us swear they shall not die.
Oh, "Stars and Stripes" unsullied!
Let none dare your trust betray;
Well rally round our standard,
And our vows renew this day.
Well rally round our standard,
As the bugler sounds "The CALI"
While hearts ''beat" as lips repeat
Americas Flag For All"
Proud flag of all the Races,
Grandest banner of our day;
With ideals thus holy,
1t can never go astray.
And Freedoms flag undaunted,
When full ready for the fray,
Will bring us Peace with Honor,
Though the cost we all must pay.
Stand by 1.-THE Flag" then People,
And for Peace and Freedom pay,
Through fort and ship and cannon,
Until Force has lost its sway.
When Serfdom yields to Freedom,
And when Might to Right gives
way,
Then our Flag-Columbia's Flag,
Can fling guns and shells away.
Hail! flag of creed immortal!
May this dream of yours come
true,
While Freemen through the Ages,
Bless the Red and White and Blue.

AND HITS PLAYMATE

Ovid Lysle, the u year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ". Lysle, who &c.
Gently moved here from Arkansas.
was shot in the left cheek Monday af.
t%ernoon by Walter Clark, 10 years old,
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. Clark, while
the children were trying to kill a
squirrel.
The Lysle boy was playing in the
Clark yard with the Clark boy and the
children Of Mr.. and Mrs. JEFF Woods.
They saw a squirrel run up the trunk
Of a nearby tree and sent Walter in
for his target rife which his father
had given him some time ago.

him one round of ammunition and he
shot the squirrel killing it.
He then returned for another round

rel, which had fallen between bran
ches.

the tree and walk to the Clark home
where the doctor was called. The
wound was dressed and Ovid was
taken to the Mexico Hospital. He
spent a quite night and his condition
vas not considered serious Tuesday.
