Was it for this service ur1i- form and hat this college man ex- changed his academic cap and gown? Was it for this service rifle he ex- changed the parchment of his degree Was it to fit him for a commission in a camp that his alma mater gave of her life. her talents, her years of toil?
 Shall the mystery of Bartlett, peF- ems, Upton, Dix and Lewis be solved 1 s when before the bow of the transport s the mist clouds of ocean shall lift and, revealed in clear vision, is seen the P outline of the shores of France? The man that stands beneath that emblem 2 of our liberties, the man that takes that sacred standard in his hands can never-according to our American mind--be too worthy of it, what be his education, his environment, his character When his country's honor is at stake, when her safety is to be guarded, her preservation maintained, no sacrifice is too heroic, no obedience too irlzsome, no labor too difficult, no annihilation too profound-"Sacrifice is the call from the soul of America; Service" is the reply from the heart of the people.
 Voice of President is Voice of God. II
 Clearer than the light of the noon day sun comes the truth for the mind of the nation in khaki; stronger than all the forces Of earth; stronger even than death comes the courage for the soul of the nation in khaki-that the | authority behind all temporal sove- i reignty is from God. The voice of the ! | legitimate ruler of these United States 1 is the voice of God. When he com |
 mands, God commands-and man in f. 1 obeying him is obeying God.
 Nation Must Have Its God.
 Then take away my God and you
 rob me of my faith! Take away my God and you rob me of my very ale l glance to my native land. Take away their God from the hearts and minds of the children of America, and you upon gallows-you have murdered
 their love of country, you have under
 mined the very foundations of the re-
 public. God forbid that the day may
 ever dawn when this great American
 people would be by traitorous leaders despoiled of it's priceless heritage-the
 possession of it's God. For I tell you with all the earnestness of my soul, . backed by the history of nations,
 backed by the inspired word of Holy l Writ, that a nation without God, with out living, breathing faith and con ) fldence in an overruling Providence, a just arbiter of right and wrong, is , tottering to it's inevitabIes ruin. Let it be fair to look upon, let it's ships : cover the seas, let it's cannon bristle 5 from every vantage ground, let it's su- per -dreadnaughts outnumber the states of the urion-it is living a pre- tense of life, it is in reality a nation that is dead-for its heart is gone
 silent Tell me of my God and you } tell me of my allegiance to my native r land; tell this nation in khaki of their God and you may demand in His name 7 the greatest sacrifices of which the } body, mind and soul of this nation are capable Then you evoke the exercise 5 of that purest of natural virtues patriotism
 5 Yes. hold fast to your God and your $ country will be secure. For no man
 can be true to God and false to his native land. Upon this virtue we up- build the greatness of our country; it's f value is above gold and precious g stones, above commence and industry,
 above forts and warships. The vital . spark of the nations honor is patriot T ism. and the living fount of the na- I tion's prosperity is patriotism, the
 strong shield of the nations safety is
 l true patriotism. America is the most
 stupendous experiment the world has ever know-this republican form of a l government of the people, by the peo- pie, and for the people, and on it's h success or failure hangs the fate oi
 liberty. America does not stand
 alone; bound up in her she carries h the hopes of a waiting, anxious world 2 her failure is .le worlds failure e irreparable, her triumps are tht
 worlds misunderstanding!
 Y The Service Flag.
 l. Today a new flag is seen in ever! y city's streets, in every little villag, J' and hamlet from one end of our lant 1T to the other-unseen ever before-un n known before it's mystic meaning!
 You will find it hanging down ove y the portal of many a peaceful littl le oof-tree-dearest spot on earth t

You will SC 95 it set in many a window, you wi 96 notice it here and there in the palace 99 of the rich, you will meet it every 97 where in the homes of the poor. ri 95 a strange emblem! It's field is of red 92 it's center is crossed with a broad ba 91 of white: it's dotted with dark blu 94 spots in the shape of stars. "Americ; - tell us, tell us what is means!" Is it 59 red for anarchy? Is it's white fo
 truce-defeat? Is it's dark blue fc
 death? Speak, America, speak! Whenc "A came his new-flung banner? What, o 'N what does it mean?" Red is for bloc
 -the crimson tide of patriots life
 white is for purity--the lily innocent he of patriots love; blue is for cor ca stancy-the steadfast fidelity of patr ab ot's duty; stars are for hope-the UT of spoken language of human hearts tn; of the boys will come home.
