SEA FREEDOM.

; The Fourth OF July will be cele
brated this year around the world
1t will be celebrated by foreign re
pubicS and by democratic monarch
les. 1t will be celebrated, strangel,
enough, by kings and queens, in
Guiding the sovereignS of the EN-
pire from which our independence
Day declaration severed us.
1t will be celebrated with vigol
and fitness by the million American
soldiers who are fighting in Europe
to vndicate the principles of our
great declaration. 1t will be cele-
brated here at home, in every Amer
lean city and town, with new under
standing and appreciation, by ma
tives and the children OF natives, and
no less by aliens and aliens chill
dren.
Al these memorial activities are
admirable. There is another, how
ever, that probably makes a stronger
appeal to the imagination than any
OF Them. 1t is the celebration tax
ing place in American shipyards.
There are over ninety ships being
launched on this Fourth, far more
ships than ever before, in all the
world, hit the water at one time.
They aggregate about half million
tons, a greater tonnage than we used
to launch in the course OF whole
year. They will provide the means
BY which we can maintain more than
10000 troops in France.
And that is but one day. 1t is ex
ceptional, to be sure. Some OF those
ships have been held back 4 little
for the occasion. others have been
rushed. But the launchings will not
stop when the last of those new
merchantmen has slid down the
ways. The glorious splash will be
repeated the next day, and the next.
in ever-growing volume, until every
day in the year is reminiscent OF
this big celebration.

tional church OF Columbus. for the
81 years. from 1882 to 1914, and
since then pastor emeritus, was one
Of the most widely known preach
erS and writers of his denomination
in the United States. He strove
both in the pulpit and in his books
for great social reforms. and his
success in influencing the spirit OF
the church was widely acknowl-
edged.
Attacked Tainted Money"
Although only an incident of his
career. he will be remembered par
ticular Y through the fact that in
1905 he was the fearless leader Of
an attack on tainted money" The
question arose when John ID. Rock
efeller offered the American board
of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions OF the Congregational church
$l00 900 for its work in the conver-
sion OF the heather. Doctor Glad ,
den opposed acceptance OF the gift,
declaring that Mr.. Rockefeller's
money was iIl-gotten wealth and un-
fit for Christian use. IF the church |
units itself for work by taking !
brides OF tainted money" he said.
she ought to perish with the !
money and she will" Doctor Glad
den's uncompromising stand gave
rise to u widespread controversy.
and although he was overruled by
the board of missions, he continued
his fight against allowing the church

latory wealth
Doctor Gladden's courage as a re-
,ormer led him also into a slight
ienture in politics. He placed him

as an Independent in the

where there was normally a large
majority. he won by 70

THE SQUAD

There lives a squad of sunburned men.
Not different from the tender bunch,
That came to camp three months ago
So pale faced, with consumptive
bunch.
The banker counts not coin, but ca
dence,
For the sociologist,
The salesmans left his grips to spade
Up rocks with the geologist.
The farmer is the acting. non com,
Driving details through the sand.
The bright pianist lifts his pick
With strong, once nimble fingered
hand.
The teachers laid aside his ways,
Once pedagogic, serious;
He bluffs on lights" and always plays
In glee that's most delicious.
The teller, teacher. farmer. clerk
Alike are sturdy, tanned and hard.
They never grumble, never shirlI,
AT K. p, drill or midnight guard.
Civilians once true soldier man
From hob-nailed shoes to flimsy hat
Just "privates" in the u. S. A.
But real men for all of that.
