Making Our Flag
Beloved
\.
By HAMLIN GARLAND
of The VigiidnfeS

Among the victims of the measure
less ruin which the Prussian militar-
lists have wrought in their desire to
dominate the world, Armenia and
Syria have high claim to our sympa-
thy. Suffering the full horror of the
conquered they have been isolated
from the allies who would have helped
them if they could. Turkey, the part
ner of Germany and the cause of the
suffering and desOlatiOn of the Ar
menanS, is now conquered and 1t is
possible for America to rescue the de-
spairing and the hungry in those lands.
This is duty which we cannot re-
gretfully postpone. We are and must
continue to be the storehouse of the
world. Our resources must be put to
the use of those who suffer. France
and England, in spite of their almost
inconceivable war burdens, are each
doing their part in the work of freeing
and feeding the oppressed. We should
not fail of ready and full co-opera-
ton.
Thus far we have not felt in any de-
gree the pinch of the war-we have
hardly been incommoded. We have
saved sugar and meat and flour and
submitted TO restrictions in other
ways, but we have not suffered in the
slightest the pain and the grief of
other countries. The sacrifices we have
made seem very small and very poor
in comparison with what Belgium and
Poland and other equally innocent by
ISLANDERS have endured.
Today the war is won-we can seize
our great opportunity. We have made
bur flag respected by the valor Of our
sailors and soldiers, now let us make
it beloved by the wise use of our al
most limitless wealth. How great, how
peaceful the United States seems as
we read the reports from the scourged
md desolated lands of the East. From
our plenty we must instantly send in
order that hunger shall not end in
starvation and that whole people
shall not vanish from the earth.
Germany has narrowed its field; as
its allies retire they leave a multi
tUde of homeless and furnishing vic
tins behind-they have no care for the
ruined and the desolate-and America
must step in to aid till such time as
the oppresSor can be forced to in
demnify and restore.
1t is not necessary for me to re-
hearss, the CHASTITY story of Turko-I'rus-
sian barbaric cruelties-that has been
done full and most knowingly by others.
My part is 70 plead with those who
have Il surplus that they may heal the

OF the VigilanteS.
We cannot name you sav4 upon our
knees
Franco! France what fitting tribute may
we bring
That would not seem pitifrl poor thing
Against your splendor and your agonies-
You who withstood the strength of iron
seas
A rock wherefrnm Gods beacon still shah
fling
The light that brings e world from ship
wrecking.
Seeing by you it steers its argosies.
France, France. there are no words to-
make your song
There is no song whcrewith to honor you :
But note by note through many centu-
ries
Shall rise the perfect tribute clear and
strong,
Giving your fame at last the singing due.
We cannot name you save upon our
knees.

The Future of
the Hun
4,
By E. E. HARTMAN
Of The VigHonfes

There must be future for the Ger
man. He cannot stop and resolve into
mere memory. 1t is out of the ques-
ton for the civilized nations to ami
hliate him. For their own sakes they
cannot be as savage as he planned to
be. However many were killed in this
war, there will still be many millions
left to propagate.
What manner of future awaits those
millions? What will they do? What
will be their status in the world?
How will they prosper?
Already many thinking people are
considering the matter of German
trade, German industry, German debt
paying. The nation itself is making
active preparations for the after-the-
war campaign.
I. With this war ended Germany will
lind herself handicapped with double
load: the debts she has incurred
through the financing of the war, and
the rehabilitation of DEVASTATED coun-
tries. In order to pay either bill she
She must have markets and supply
them.
In order to secure markets she must
hrst establish confidence in her wares
and in her business methods. She
must gain certain, and very decided,
amount of friendly regard or the rival
statesmen, the rival manufacturer, will
hold too great an advantage. She can
only hope to be scavenger otherwise,
for the other nations will leave her
only that which they do not wish to
handle.
All Nations on Guard.
How is she going to acquire the nee.
eSsary standing, the confidence of buy
ing nations, to give her these markets?
Once she would have sent her thou
sands of emigrants to colonize with
rigid instructions to demand German
goods and thereby create a condition
that would force ilnpOrtatiOnS That
day is past, for in I'LL such eases Ger.
lnany's colonial idea carried with it the
eontrol of politics through colony bal
lots. 1t is inconceivable that any ma.
Flon should ever again cater to the
German vote or allow it TO be in con-
.trol of even a fraction of national ac-
fivities.
With all nations on guard against
iGermanizing influences. that plan must
be abandoned. If Germany, in her
stupid disregard of all rights and
prejudices, should attempt TO again
get control of any part of the national
affairs of America or Canada or Bra

Greatest Opportunity to Help.
The committee for Armenian and
Syrian relief is asking for a fund of
S300OO,OOO. This seems but small
amount when set over against the non
Mohammedan populations of the coun-
tries named in the appeal, and vet the
committee assures us that this sum
will have the most enormous power of
alienation. 1t will not restore but il
Will provide the necessities of life to
those who are for the moment unable
to feed and cl0the themselves.
Every man who gives to this fund
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that each dollar of his gift goes
straight to it's mark, affording almost
instant relief to some poor soul who is
physically suffering and in despair of
the future. To send this relief will
prove to them, and to the rest of the
world. that we, the richest of nations,
can be upon demand the most gener-
Gus of nations. If we do our part at
this time we can make the Stars and
Stripes not only respected, but beau
tiful in the eyes of the citizens of those
PARKWAY lands. 1t will seem the sign
of pity and of healing, the symbol of
hope and peace which our fOrefathers
intended it to be-

the consideration of all nations OPP
posed TO Germanic ideas. 1t must be
made Il matter of the most careful
consideration, for upon the policy
adopted by the nations will depend
much of their own welfare. There
must be limit set for Teutonic ac-
tivity, bound beyond which they
dare not go or it will be only ques-
ton of time until the world will again
have to take up the task of beating

1t is time for the nations and their

consider, for it will not be long now
until the Hun will be wanting to emf
CRATE from Hunland to escape the
burdens he has helped to create. de
must not be allowed to shirk his task
He must be the one to pick up the
burden and stagger along under it..
He must not be allowed to Shift it TO
other shoulders, in part or in entirety.
Must Be Kept Under Surveillance.
The forces of many nations have
been harnessed in the effort to ham
mer some reasonable degree of sense
into the Hunnish head. Next will
come the prodigious effort to hold him
to his work and force him to walk the
straight and narrow path. 1t is to be
almost as hard a task as fighting him
into submission, if the way he is pre-
pairing for Il commercial campaign is
any criterion.
Unless he is so hedged about by
rigid intieXible guards that he can do
only the right thing, he will soon be
doing the wrong one. 1t is folly to
iltiih tuul ScttilS IL AhpPihS Win
change the Hun nature. A cracked
crown will not ensure regeneration
or any degree of reformation. He
will be no more spiritually redeemed
than he will be physically restored by
the war. The living Hun will need Il
process of refining that will require
more than one generation. The dead
Hun, thank God, will help to hold him
where he belongs by the thinning out
of evil blood when he died.
SO let us plan now for what comes |
later, that we may enjoy life with no
fear of despotic oppression in the fu-
turo years. We must weld Il steel |
ring. such as Kaiser Wilhelm loved 70 |
have about that will keep the Prus- |
