Gil for the defense of the accused.
These were handed down to us by Will
liam the Silent. They cost the blood
and sacrifice of the eighty years war.
"The men who laid the foundation of
the American republic had strong
faith in God, so that the Christian re-
ligion is the symbol of the republic,
and Christian character is the founda-
ton on which we must continue to
build if we give it perpetuity. We
have become the greatest nation in the
world, but God allows no nation to
hold a supreme position very long that
will not do supreme things. This was
by the Babylonian, Medo-
Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Spanish,
French empires, and finally the Ger
man empire. America now occupies
that supreme position. If she contin-
ues to hold it will depend upon her.
self. She is at present the banker of
the world, her granaries are to feed
the world, her soldiers hold the ball
ance of power"
DR.. Shumate called attention to the
liberty bond issue, and the fact was
emphasized that very little of the
money raised goes out of the country;
it does not involve loss of gold or
loss of values. The money is put back
into circulation through the channels
of trade. 1t is largely shifting of
credits. The only thing we give to our
allies is the benefit of our matchless
credit, and they pay the same rate of
interest that our government pays us.
The lecture closed with the following
splendid tribute to the flag:
Grand old Banner! Our fathers
fought beneath its bright stripes, for
he glory of its stars they died, and
today, wrapped only in a soldiers fad
ed coat they sleep in far-off fields
where heroes sleep, but over them
waves this banner Grand old banner!
We love thee for what thou art, for
what thou hast been; we love thee be-
cause they love thee SO well, and to-

Body Guard Of
Italy's King
Are Crieved

Rome, April Heterogeneous
of The Associated Press. Among
the most unhappy men in Italy are
said to be the sixty soldiers of the
kings guard who are not permitted to
go to the front and fight like their
brothers. The reason for this restric-
ton is that these men could probably
not be replaced if killed, injured, or
taken prisoners. They are chosen with
the utmost care not only as regards
their habits and training but for their
height, the minimum of which is six
feet.
"They begin where other men stop
growing" according to a popular say
ing. Many of them are even seven
feet III nt'ght. They are chosen from
the GARDINER J. military police and
must have absolutely -nstained rec
ords. Each newly enrolled lI.sa. If ne
accepts the appointment, must agree
to remain for term of five years, in
the guard, after which he may or may
not re-enlist. During that period, also,
he may not marry.
The guards and their horses are
quartered inside the grounds of the
royal palace on the Quirinal hill. The
guard does sentinel duty inside these
grounds when King Victor Emmanuel
is in Rome, and also accompanies him
on state occasions, as on that of
March IA, 1912, when, as the king was
going along the Corso to visit the
tomb Of his father in the Pantheon,
the anarchist d'Alba fired twice and
wounded Captain Lang of the guard
instead of the. king.
Since the war began, although the
king lives at the front and undergoes
all its dangers, members of the guard
are to be seen now and then walking
through the streets of Rome, attract
ing attention and admiration because
of their immense figures and shining
helmets, but, for all that, Jealous of
