SINCE YOU WENT AWAY

Since you went away, every gay sailor lad
Every khaki-clad soldier l see,
Has place in my heart, and share in my thoughts
And belongs just little, to
He's a comrade of yours, and is bearing his share
Of the burden that rests upon you;
Both are doing the task which a nation has set
For it's glorious manhood to do
Since you went away, have entered within
sisterhood mystic and great
OF women who've learned the great lesson to give
And are learning another, to wait.
But strive like the rest, not to doubt or to fear
To murmer, sigh complain,
But to trust in His might, and to know in His eve
That the sacrifice cannot be in vain
Since you went away, every fold of the flag
Has message that's tender and true;
1t has always meant liberty, freedom, and right
1t now means my country and you
Your honor is part of the deep azure field,
Your courage, of each crimson BAR
And the soul of you, shining respendent and clear
Is part of each beautiful star

everyone is familiar, by now, with the crimson
bordered flag that hangs in the windows of so many
American homes. These affecting give words to
that banner-tell, simply, touchingy, what every
mutey eloquent Service Flag is saying to the passers
by
Dear little flag in the window there
Hung with tear and woman's prayer
Child of Old Glory born with star
Oh what wonderful flag you are
Blue is your star in its field of white,
Dipped in the red that was born of fight:
Born of the blood that forbears shed
To raise your mother, The Flag, o'erhead.
And now you've come, in this frenzied day,
To speak from window-to speak and say:
81 am the voice of soldier-son
Gone to be gone till the victory's won.
81 am the flag of The Service, sir;
The flag of his mother speak for her
Who stands by my window and waits and fears
But hides from the others her unwept tears.
81 am the flag of the wives who wait
For the safe return of martial mate,
A mate gone forth where the war god thrives
To save from sacrifice other men s wives''
Dear little flag in the window there,
Hung with tear and woman s prayer;
Child of Old Glory, born with star
Oh, what a wonderful flag you are

HUGHES ASKS
SENATE TO DROP
PLANE INQUIRY
Plea of Interference Follows
Adoption of Motion For
Sweeping Search

Washington. May 90. Charles
Evans Hughes appealed to the Sem
ate Military Affairs Committee yes
terday to drop its proposed inVesti-
cation into the airplane program, on
the grounds it would hamper the De-
partment of Justice in the inquiry
being made under his direction. The
request followed the passage without
fight of a resolution authorizing a
sweeping Senate investigation.
His own investigation will be thor
ough and complete, and its results
will be made public, said Mr.. Hughes
in a letter to the Attorney General
which was published at a meeting
of the committee yesterday after
noon.
The committee may abandon its
program for an inquiry, as a result of
Mr.. Hughes request, or may confine
it to a secret investigation to be made
by subcommittee. The Senators
will decide within a few days, pos
sibly next Friday, when the commit
tee meets again. The committee, how
ever, named the subcommittee to
conduct the Senate inquiry if the
second investigation should be de-
cided upon. Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, is chairman of the subcommit-
tee. The other members are Reed
and Hoke Smith. Democrats, and

Affairs under the provisions of Sem
ate resolution As, heretofore adopted
including the expenses of employing
assistants and travelling expenses,

Both sides claimed a victory after
adoption of the resolution. Admins
tration leaders were jubilant because
the Chamberlain resolution was not
brought up. The Senators who have
been fighting for the passage of the
Chamberlain measure claimed vic
tory because they had been granted
complete authority to conduct a
thorough investigation, even though
the resolution authorizing it does not
bear Senator Chamberlain name.
