ONLY THE SMALL BIRDS SING

ONLY THE SMALL bihDS SiNu'
Have you thought of it; 1t is only
the small birds that sing? You never
heard a note of song from the eagle
in your life, nor from the turkey or
the ostrich; but you have heard 1t
from the robin and the lark and the
mocking-bird and the canary, and
how they can sing! So it is from the
little folks that we expect the best
and sweetest things, the most cheer
full and most loving work. So, too,
we expect to hear them as they go.

The Crucial Year.
(By Herbert Kaufman)

Study the from Russia She a spiked helmet Germany still hopes to teach Ivan the goosestep.
 God help should Muscovy refresh the ebbing
 Poverty and anarchy fast dsntegrating that bewildered empire Never thoroughly naonalized, the slight sense of mutual obligation which opportnist leaders have left
 Each counter revolution increases befuddlement; famine and terrorism rage from the Baltic to the Black Sea- the mouk IS hungry and ragged and resourceless
 His imagine IS in his belly, not his head. Free dom has proved to be rainbow without treasure pot
 Empty peasant larders will fill Prussia's depleted ranks if we don't smash through the Rhine in time
 We must strike hard and continuously that Wihems armies shattered before the steppe hordes be seduced and exploited.
 Believe in the worst and do your best
 The past four years have taught us to prepare for weirder surprises than this contingency
 The odds against it, but the Hun has been best ing the odds from the outset
 There's thing that he cant beat and that's the united effort of the American people mremittingly de- voted to victory.
 if self interest nsnuates that the government is exaggerating its requiremens if premature confi- dence suggests that it's all over but the shouting and that your services your subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan won't affect the outcome there's telling how long we'll be al ii or who'll wear khaki
 The number of men send abroad will be deter mined solely by the number o guns and shells and tanks and arpanes crowd through in the next few months; by the number of ships we can build to rush them over and the number of helpers can get for the ship build and munitions plants.
 All of us can't engage III direct war tasks; CIVIL activities require the bulk of the nation.
 You may have an honorable excuse Tor continuing at a woned occupation but you can't cleanly evade money duty.
 The bonds you personally buy won't help nearly so much the onbds you don't purchase will hurt
 One stacker dollar encourages another-every recre- ant emboldens neighbor to hang back and hold out.
 We don't have overwhelming army in France can't transport il and protect ii enroute-we can't support h with battle planes and ordnance and whip peis"-we can't ration tive can't finance allies we can't succor their famies-we can't complete the heroic work auspiciousy begun at the Marne, 1t all the people in the United States are not always steeed to save and sacrifice and suffer for the glory of the Republic and the Might of Laws.

BANNER WITH 167,ooo STARS IS PRESENTED TO CONFEDERATE VETERANS AT REUNION AT TULSA, OKLA.

Tulsa, Sept 2.-The rebel yell from many thousand throats was the outward manifestation tonight of a great surge of patriotism which fol lowed the presentation to the United Confederate Veterans and to the Sons of Veterans of a gigantic serv ice flag The flag, which weighs more than no pounds, contains 167,' 900 stars, each representing direct descendent of a confederate soldier who is now offering his life for his country in the war for world liberty. It was presented by the Colorado delegation.
 The veterans and their families were in high spirits tonight when the twenty eighth reunion officially open ed despite the busy day they had spent under the hot September sun. The official program did not begin until tonight, but half dozen bands, score of eloquent speakers and thousand and one individual reunions of friends and camp mates of former days made the day busy one. The continuous arrival of new delegations kept a new throng constantly pouring through the headquarters in the ho- tels and each veteran on his arrival made himself a reception committee of one to seek out his old friends and acquaintances and help them to get settled.
 More than 5000 veterans alone h; tnn ncnnaiaIlv maintained for them, a considerably larger number than ever before have attended the mess on the first day, it was announced Based on this and the registrations already tabulated, the local committee announced that more than 10000 veterans already were in attendance with correspond ingly large number of sons and other official guests.
