BY BLISS CARMAN
of the VluiIanres.

If the whole duty of nan could be
told In one word, that word would be
loyalty, the duty Of standing by. 10y
atty to the past, loyalty to the pres
ent, loyalty to the future, is something
that Is obligatory on all of us.
Our duty to the country at this time
implies a loyalty to all its traditions
Of freedom and high-hearted justice
which were fought for by our forefath-
ers; which have been preserved for
US; and which we have been accustom-
ed to enjoy all too thoughtlessly until
now. Now Is the time to stand by
them with every word and deed.
Loyalty Our First Duty.
Our duty to the man In the trenches,
and to every other American at home,
mea loyalty to the demands of the
present. In the first place our loyalty
to the man in the trenches implies
keeping him in good heart. No only
must we send him constant words of
cheer, but the damnable treachery of
doubt and pacifsm and G~ermanism,
which keeps trying to spread itself
through the press and by spoken ru-
NOR, must be stopped and abolished
utterly swamped In patriotic enthusi-
aSm. Whenever you hear a doubling
whisper of disloyalty, nail the whisper
er as a lair and a criminal, and know
you are doing your country a service.
Part Of our duty to the men in
France is to make the profiteer and
the striker understand that they are
disloyal crooks, and to block their sell
fish and disgusting game by any means
necessary. There Is no choice between
the man who Is willing to profteer and
the a. who Is willing to strike for
more wages, In the present crisis. They
are equally despicable, the lowest of
the low. II shame will not restrain
them, they should be drafted and set
to work at a decent wage and profit.
Duty to Posterity.
Our duty to American posterity, OIL
u loyalty to the future, must con-
sist in passing on to the coming gen.
erations all our national ideals unim-
paired, In leaving to them the institu-
tons of freedom which we ourselves
have found invaluable. What they
may do with those institutions under
new conditions is for them to say. But
at least w must leave them as good
as we found them.
We are fighting now to preserve our
national life, our civil rights, and our
homes and families from devastation
and ruin. When we have succeeded in
that, l believe we can best serve the
world by preserving the United States
as a nation, with it's laws and institu-
tons and customs and standards I'M
debased by the ignorance Of those mil
lions of refugees who will wish to flee
to us after the war.
