TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
THE AMERICAN FLAG.

When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies.
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol OF her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trllmping loud
And see the lightning lances driven.
When strives the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven;
Child of the sun! to thee It's given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows the cloud of war;
The harbingers of victory!
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on.
Ere yet the life-blood, and wet,
Has dimm'd the glistening bayonet, =
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn;
And as his sprnging steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon-uEouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shToud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnights pail;
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seasi on ocean
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, careering the gale
Sweeps darlly round the bellied sail
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer OF the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
BY angel hands to valor given:
The stars have lit the wellSin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet
And Freedoms banner streaming DER US?

Gutzon Borglum. The president, in
his letter to Hughes, asked that the
guilty." if there be any such, may be
promptly and vigorously prosecuted
and that regulations of those whose
actions have been attacked may be
protected in case the charges are
groundless."
A week later, Hughes wrote the
president a letter declaring that he
and Gregory had agreed to broaden
the scope of the probe to ferret out
not only the accuracy of the charges
OF dishonesty, but also to determine
whether there had been negligence or
inef1ciency in the work of producing
aircraft

INDIv1DUALIsM AND PATERNAL1sM

From governmental paternalism to socialism
is not very long STEP
The menace. however, OF bureaucrausn d.
sociaIistc paternalism with their insidious effect
upon the very fibre and marrow of the race, con-
fronts now.
While bureaucracy and efficiency can go to-
gether under an autocratic regime 1t is lmpos-
sible the very nature of things for bureaucracy
to 60 together with efficiency in democracy.
Nor indeed, can paternalism and liberty exist
side by side.
bureaucracy is either wastefu stagnant and
inefficient or it is as in Germany, ruthless in its
methods oppressive in its spirit and poisonous IN
its effect. 1t resents progress, vision ana lnno-
walton because these are disturbing and antago-
nistic to the very essence Of its beng-routlne

THE BET

Two little kiddies were playing In q dOoryard the other day; Their talk was all of soldiers. Battles and prisoners their play. One little man to his playmate said: Uncle sam wrote my daddy a letter; Said he wanted hin for a soldier Cause he was young n couldn't be
 better. ! So daddy got all fixed ready And sailed on q big ship to France, And l know if my dad gets Bill ! He'll make him do a Yankee dance! The other boy listened in awe To all his little friend said; 1 Then. standing straight and swallow ing hard, 1 In faltering accents he said: Uncle Sam never wrote my dad | Cause my dad didn't wait day; i He just went and listed 1 When war was declared right away. . l Was over six feet to his head; i But he cant never get Bill now Cause. you see. my daddys dead. MT Wilson wrote to mother, Told her all dad did in a year, And said: You boyl always be
 proud
 To say Dad was volunteer, The little voice ialtered and failed, Then to hide the tears on his face He ran away to his own dooryard | And sought out q sheltered place. The little lad left behind ! Pondered Uncle Sans letter His dad went to war cause he
 wanted to; Mine cause he had to. Which was
 better?" -Annabelle Dennison MacConnell

NATIONS TO INSURE THE
 WORLD 'SPEACE

LONDON, Aug. 20 (by maiD .-"The United States, Great Britain and France will be the foundation of any league of nations, and they must ac' Cept this burden at once" declared Sir Francis Trippel to an Associated Press correspondent. Sir Francis re gently issued an appeal for the i'm. mediate formation in England of a council for the advocacy of q league of nations"
 The first thing to be done is to divcst the scheme of illusions" he said. "A league of nations is not an absolute substitute for war. IL is not an absolute guarantee of peace. It does not mean, for the present, total disarmament. It can not be forgive and forget panacea.
 "A league of nations must have the power to enforce it's decrees. That is the cruN of the whole question. If it has not. if will go the way 0f ali the rest
 Its chief function will be to re. move the causes of war. It must make it easy for nations to cooperate and hard to stand alone. If nation knows that a league has no power to enforce it's decrees it has scant re, spect or scruple for it.
 Does anyone in his senses believe that such a league is even remotely possible with q dominant Germany? She is the parah nation of an an. 1 gered world. If the fight ends in ! draw, she remains dominant. If it ended tomorrow she would snap her fingers at the ideals of the universe. ! Germany, as she is, is menace to l the worlds peace.
 No more propaganda is more i'm. pOrtant at the present time than the l propaganda of the league of nations. n.anys defeat at her own particular ! game-the game of war.
 "A council for the advocacy of a league of nations will be necessary in every country as far as possible, if 1 imperialistiC tendencies and dynastic l desires for conflict are to be checked We can begin at any rate with the 1 United States. France and Great Brit ain. These three western democra- cies are bound to form an influential l portion of any league of nations in the near future.
 "A preliminary council for Great ! Britain should be formed from public men of all opinions.
