liberty and freedom; it is the
standard of all that true citizen
ship stands for, and it is the sym
Dol of his country. Every true
citizen loves the American flag,
and he should show due appre-
citation of it by never allowing
himself to show the least disre-
spect to it under any circum-
stances. Especially should this
be true when, just as the sun is
setting, this proud emblem is low
cred from the flagstaff to be
furled for the night. This is the
most solemn of military tributes.
The American flag is the en-
blem of its people. It's field, white
with the SHOWS of Valley Forge,
is streaked with regal red; its
blue field, bearing the truest color
of our bending sky, is studded
with the stars of the night, and
each of these stars is emblematic
of one of the states of this Union.
This flag is the symbol of
everything that America stands
for; then why should we not pay
it tribute, showing it our respect
whenever we hear that sacred
song that speaks of the flag and
its meaning played?
Let civilian and soldier always
cherish this song, and whenever
it is played, no matter where it
may be, always pay it homage.

E.39 Notes.

The barracks program carried out in
the 314th Infantry during the closing OF
building E-39. has proved beneficial both
to the men and the secretaries. 1t has
enabled the latter to get into closer and
finer contact with men who could not be
reached in the building for various rea-
SONS. 1t has also given the soldiers a
greater appreciation of the work which
the is endeavoring to do, both in re-
ligious and welfare channels.
With the cooperation of Chaplain
Holdeman of the 314th, Sunday services
were carried on in nine barracks. Sec
retaries Ricketts, and Wilson led five
of these meetings. With so per cent of
the men absent on passes, the splendid at
tendance of 231 was reported. Further
work along this line is being rapidly pro-
NOTED.

WRITE HOME.

Never a day passes that does
not bring to the Y. M. c. A. head
quarters letters from anxious
ones at home asking for investi-
cation as to the reasons for sol
diers neglecting to write. All
kinds of fear possess the minds
of the inquirers, and imagination
pictures all sorts of terrible things
happening to their soldier boys.
In nearly every instance inves-
tigation shows that the soldier
simply has neglected to write.
He has been busy, and when night
came he wanted to sleep. SO it
ran, on from day to day until the
folks at home could stand the aus
pense no longer. Then a pitifu4
appeal was made to the Y. NJ.
{. A. to investigate, and an urgent
appeal is made to tell them the
truth about the boy. When that
appeal is made the mind is full
of visions of the. hospital and the
poor, suffering soldier.
Now, men, you should not treat
your home folks this way. The
Y. M. c. A. provides every facility
for correspondence. Never let a
week go by without writing home.
That letter means more to the
folks back there than you can
realize.
Have you written this week
If not, do it right now.

SPIRIT OF 1918.

The spirit of 70 and the spirit
of 1913 are brought to us in sharp
contrast at such a time as this
when we are celebrating the
birthday of the. father of Ameri-
can liberty. There is vast diff
ference and yet a strange SINH
farity in the sentiments of the two
ages. They are separated by the
passing of many years, of a multi
tude of events, by more than a
century's development in educa-
ton, science and world politics.
They are bound together by a
fight for freedom. Now, as then,
we are engaged in terrible
struggle to liberate people from
undesired masters. But then it
was a mere handful of valiant
children struggling against their
too dictatoriaf mother country,
who seemed ignorant of the fact
that her rebellious child was a
man full grown. And liberty
won.
Now the conflict is not confined
to- a single country. It's limit is
the world. It's aim is not freedom
for the people of one country, but
for the peoples of the world. 1t
is not a war for nationality, but
for internationally. It's COM
batants, linked together by unset
fish motives and love for their fell
lowmen, are waging a war against
militaristic imperialism and gov
erl1mental despotism, and are
thereby forging the chain of the
human brotherhood of the world
It's ultimate end is to be univer-
sal liberty and universal peace.

RESPECT THE FLAG.

1t is not an unusual sight at
retreat each afternoon to see
civilians, workmen and some few
soldiers pay little. or no attention
tothe national anthem, ''The Star
Spangled Banner" and the lower
ing of Old Glory. This disrespect
is something that should not be
tolerated for moment, and visit
ors to the camp, as we'll as all SOL
'diers, :. should be careful about
such disrespect.
At this solemn ceremony, as
the flag is slowly lowered from
the staff, every person in the camp
should come to an absolute stop.
IL seatedlin a carriage or a4tomo-
bile they should rise to their feet,
civilians remove their hats, place
them over their hearts and stand
at attention until the playing of
the anthem ceases. Ladies should
raise their right hands to their
hats, the same as the soldier does,
or<at least stand at attention, and
no one shosld be so disrespectful
as to utter word during the cere-
mony.
A soldier, no matter where he
is, always Stands at attention dur
ing the playing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" and generally
he stands with his hand at salute
when not in company formation.
A soldier under arms always
comes to present arms.
ITO the true American citizen
there is nothing more sacred than
the respect of the Stars and
Stripes. 1t is the emblem OF

SpRINGTIME.

The unusual balmy weather of the past week
so inspired the poetic soul of Corp. lie Roy
Brown Of the 1O1st Ordnance Depot Company
that he could not be restrained from bursting
forth in melody of song. So one morning he
gave vent to music within his heart m the fol-
lowing manner:
The spring is in the air,
And i'll the turquoise sky
The winters weight of care
Forever passes by.
The redbird whistles there
Amid the grove of pines;
The earth anew is fair
The sun, triumphant, Shines
The snow departs apace
AS though twas loath to leave;
But flora will eface
The web the weary weave.
Rejoice, We waiting hearts,
The robin sings again;
The poWer of Boreas parts
And God is good to men!
Needless to say his efforts were much appre-
clated by his comrades SO much So in fact
that hereafter all mess equipment will he
chained to the tables of the dining hall until
further notice.

Cleveland. Aug 22.-Two veteran
ball players, Pitcher George McQuil-
Ian and Bob Bescher, are making

McQuillan, who is "a years old,

but wound up the seaso with the Co
