SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1918.

Daughters of the American Revolution
have entered a formal and vigorous protest
against enforced kissing of the American
flag by traitors and pro-Germans. And they
are right. The national colors should be
held too sacred TO permit them to be sulleo
by the unclean touch OF disloyal lips. Nor
does such compulsory lip salute remove the
treason that is in the heart. Let some other
method OF compelling respect to the coun-
try's emblem be found.

And pipe her pitching the fragrant hay.
So she pitched the hay, iva said before
And had pitched away for an hour or more
When the judge came by In his limousine
With a chuS ard an cd ,r of gasoline.
Miss Madeleine Mailer had an eye
For the judge and his auto racing BY

Did he wed fair Madeleine? Not n bit!
At least. not so you could notice It!
But he had a friend who was Broadway.
And he tipped him off to the pitcher Of hay
And it came to pass. in a little while
That Madeleine went to Manhattan Islo
And signed herself for a hundred nights
Wuh matnees. In the border lights!
And you. if you happen to pass that way

TO THE CRITICS BACK

There are certain patriots
back home who admit that
they are willing to support
the army program up to a
certain point, but who insist
that they have a right to
rise up at any moment with
any criticism they may care
to make.
They begin their support
with a brick held in the right
hand, looking for the first
chance to let the brick fly.
No such fifty-ifty support
is wanted by the A. E. F.
This is no fifty-fifty stuff in
the soul of the soldier who
swings out over the top UNI
der heavy fire.
Those back home patriots
who do not intend to go the
whole distance with the A.
E. F. with all they've got
should never start at all. They
are merely clogging up the
road. They may mean well
enough, but they are not
hooked to our kind of war.
There are but two king
doms ahead-the kingdom of
Liberty and the kingdom of
Kaiserism.
Under which king, Bezon-
ian?-Speak or diet Stars
