LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE entrance
into the fifth year of the war under
auspices favorable to the allies, thanks
largely to the gigantic effort of Amer
lea, has been heralded by messages
from the political leaders of Great
Britain.
Arthur Henderson has declared that
organized labor will continue strong
lin its determination that the war can
end only in triumph for the great
glorious cause which shall make the
future secure and permit the free de-
velopment of national and interna-
tional life on the basis of liberty, So
clal progress and true democracy. /"
He states, however, that "labor will
never sacrifice the rights of mankind
in order to appease the selfish desires
OF German Imperialism but is anxious
to secure the cooperation of the Ger
man social democracy in the great
task of constructing civilization on the
basis of righteous, enduring, demo-
cratic peace"
This anxiety TO get into contact with
the German Socialists has led the
executive committee of the labor party
and the parliamentary committee Of
the Trade Union Congress to request
that the government grant passports
to c. Bowerman, NJ. p; Arthur Hen
derson, M. p; J. w. Ogden, chairman
Of the Trade Union Congress, and
John McGury, chairman of the labor
party, to go to Switzerland to meet
Troelstra, leader of the Dutch Social
lists, in order to verify the accuracy
OF various documents sent in reply
to the ally war aims memorandum by
various European Socialist organiza-
tions, including, it is presumed, that

there is considerable dispute.

THE FLAG is PASSING BY!

Along the street there comes
A blare of bugles, ruffie of drums,
A flash of color beneath the sky;
Hats off! The flag is passing by!
Blue and crimson and white it shines
Over the steel tipped, ordered lines.
Hats off!
The colors before US fly;
But more, the flag is passing by.
Sea flights and land flights, grim and
great,
Fought to make and to save the state;
Weary marches and sinking ships;
Cheers of victory on dying lips.
Days of plenty and years of peace;
March of a strong lands swift in
crease;
Equal justice, right and law,
Stately honor and reverent awe.
Sign of nation, great and strong,
To ward her people from foreign
wrong;
Pride and glory and honor-aH
Live in the colors to stand or fall.
Hats off!
Along the street there comes
A-blare of bugles, ruffle of drums !;
And loyal hearts are beating high;
Hats off!
The flag is passing by!

conclusion that her baby is the symbol
of her love. Her intense desire to per-
petuate, in human form, memorial
of the man she loves is one of the most
vital and spiritual forces in human
nature. Instead of being afraid, in
stead of accepting the highest rela-
tions of marriage timidly, she has at
last understood her part in the re-
habilitation of the world disaster. She
has merely extended her perception of
love. She has broken down the bar
riers of illusion with which tradition,
not nature, has surrounded her. Her
desire to perpetuate the race is not
inspired by any coldly academic pur-
pose; she perpetuates in her mater
nifty the romance and the love of her
girlhood. These war marriages have
created almost superhuman friend
ships between the men and women
who have made them.
Friendship is the supreme interpre-
tation of love Shakespeare, in the
Sonnets addressed to his friend, the
Earl of Pembroke, implored an un-
derstanding of this sentiment that de-
mands perpetuation of the thing be-
loved:
"but, love, you are
No longer yours, than you yourself
here live;
Against this coming end you should
| be prepared,
And your sweet semblance to some
other give"
The cry of friendship for earthly
Immortality is the maternal note in
the war marriage. 1t is natural and
inextinguishable call which these
young people have heard in the worlds
battle cry. The young men Qess so
perhaps than the young women) have
realized that out of the human
wreckage into which war has plunged
the race, life must persist, and, above
all, love must survive.
Back of the romance, the danger
inspired emotional forces making for
these hasty marriages, is a real world
need for them. Especially in view of
this need is the present widespread
objection to war marriages misdi-
rected. The writer explains:
1t requires no speculation to realize
what is in the heart of war bride.
Aside from her consideration of love
for her husband, she is undoubtedly
haunted by the universal question be-
fore the world The question comes
to mind as we read of the destruction
of men in hundreds of thousands.
Where are the husbands of the fu-
ture to come from after the ten mil
lions OF dead youth destroyed on Euro
pean battlefields?
A distinguished Frenchman one
night at dinner, behind his hand, said
to me: "Think of half million of
our young men gonei Where are we
to find husbands for our daughters ?"
And this was in the first years of the
war.
These love marriages Of the war
are bright places upon the tragic
background-the new numerical in
equality of the sexes Every war
marriage is a part of much greater
story than that of single war bride
1t reminds US that millions of girls,
because of this war, can never marry
The war bride marries her soldier with
a new sense of dignity, as of rare Sc
lection, with finer responsibility,
with the same courage in fate with
which her husband has been anointed
in his enlistment into the service of
his country. In America especially
our young people seemed to have
grasped this great purpose. He is to
win freedom and peace for the world;
she is to give it life.

WASHINGTON WASN'T FIRST

George Washington was first in war,
For that's how he was made,
The very job that he was for
A soldier unafraid.
George Washington was first in peace,
For that's how he was built,
A man to lead when guns must cease
And blood no more is split.
George Washington was first in
hearts,
For that's how he was cut,
Beloved in all the nations parts
From mansion to the hut.
But Washington, he never sailed
The bounding pillows green,
Here George just naturally failed
He was not Marine!

exist because of militarism and be-
cause of imperial power.
The winning of this war means as
much to the workers liberty, means
as much to the maintenance, to the
very existence itself of our trade union
movement as it does for the existence
of free institutions among self-gov-
erning people.
1t would be just as fatal to be mis-
led by some of the reasons which have
been advanced as to the cause of the
present war as it would have been for
the workers of the North to have been
misled by the false issues which were
raised during that bitter struggle to
cause them to believe that it was
capitalistic war, or war carried on
for private gain. Fortunately the
mass of the workers of the North real
lied that what was truly at issue was
whether the institution of human sla-
very was to continue in America, and
fortunately the mass of the workers
in America and in the nations of our
allies realize today that the great
overwhelming issue which this war
will determine is whether or not ma
tions shall exist in which free people
can govern themselves instead of be-
ing governed by autocratic power.
The strongest reason for knowing
that this war will be won, regardless
of its cost in blood and in treasure,
is the determination of the people
who have enjoyed free institutions to
remain free. There can be no hope
for labor in any country where free
institutions have been destroyed by
autocratic power.

Time to Call a Halt

Chalk up another for those st. Louis
Browns For the third time hand run
ming Fielder Jones yesterday sent
spitban pitcher against the Nationals
and as a result the Griffmen were
forced to take the short end of to
4 score. The manipulator of the
dampened shoots in question was AL
Ian Sothoron. Although unsteady and
consequently in tight spots on num-
bsr OF occasions. Sothoron hurled a
heady game and always had some
thing in reserve when threatened-in
addition to fielding demon named
Gedeon back of him. The perform
ance of the former Griffman around
the middle sack easily was the fea-
ture of the game Joe went to both
sides, backed up and came forward
with equal ability in taking care OF
the balls hit in his general direction.
He had far and away the busiest aft
ernoon that has been put in by a sec
ond sacker in these parts for many a
moon and on not one of the fifteen oc-
caSionS chances were offered him DID
he fail to take advantage of them. He
not only had a hand in more than half
of the put-outs registered by the
Browns, but robbed both Milan and
Shotton of hits by fast foot work
and clever pegging.
started the trouble in the fourth that
gave the Jonesmen their first two
runs by deliberately stepping into
a slow curve. which he allowed to
plunk him in the ribs. There was one
out at the time and after Hendryx had
been disposed of Joe scrambled for
second. Ainsmith's peg beat him, but
it hit the dirt. and he scored after
Smith had walked when Nunamaker
uncorked a single. Lavans boot of
Gerber's offering let in the second
run.
That low throw by Ainsmith hurt.

anything with Earl Yingling's left

they punched two singles and a dou-

Cooper's Safety in Twelfth Scores
McKechnie With the Win
ming Run.

PITTSBURGH. May 23.-Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia played a twelve-in-
ming game yesterday, resulting in de-
feat for the visitors, to 5.
Jacobs, who went to the mound for
Pittsburgh in the opening inning, was
relieved by Harmon in the second. but
not until the visitors had tailed four
times. The first two batters in the
tenth inning touched Harmon for
clean hits and he was removed. giving
way to Cooper. who retired the side
scoreless.
In the twelfth Cooper came to bat
with McKechnie on Second and hit

Mcbride on the Job

Few things escape the watchful eye
of George Mcbride. In the ninth.
when the Griffs had the bases loaded
with Shotton at bat, the capt'n called
Evans attention to the roughened
condition Of the ball Sothoron was
using and the jumps threw it out,
thereby peeving Sothoron greatly. A
nice, new sphere was put in play for
Shotton to bang away at, but Bert
was unable to get it out of the dia-
mond.
There are no evidences of a dissipa-
tion OF the batting slump Ainsmith
IS in. Eddie switched back to right

without success. The catcher may not
have gone stale. but his work gives

and, after Judge had popped, was
forced by Eddie. Sisler jumped for
and reached Milan's drive, but could
not hold 1t. Gedeon recovered the ball
and fired 1t to Gerber. Foster had
overrun second and was tagged be-
fore he could get back.
The Browns are well drilled in the
bunting game. Jimmy Austin is es-
pecially adept at sacrificing. The
veteran is playing third with all his
customary pepper and Jones probably
will hesitate to remove him in favor
of Fritz Maisel when the latter gets
in shape to play again.
