G. B. ALDRICH.

The following special dispatch was sent
out from Richmond, "capital'' of the Con-
federacy. We found it in the informing
Post Dispatch:
Richmond, Va, JAM 1.-THE stars and

is placed side by side with the American
standard in the grouping of allied flags
decorating the armory of the Richmond
Grays, one of Virginia s famed state guard
regiments
Throughout the South, it is reported
here, there is a general disposition to place
the Southern Confederacy standard with
the flags OF the United States and the en-
tente powers. -
"a general disposition'' there seems to
be to revive the rag of secession and place
it side by side with emblems that stand for
progress, liberty and the common destiny of
men the world over
The tri-cOlor of France and the Union
Jack MIGHT well refuse the breeze if the
stars and bars-the stars of shame and bars
OF slavery-should be placed beside them by
disloyal hands While to entwine the FLAG
of the dead Confederacy with the Red.
White and Blue that Grant hoisted above
Richmond in 81 is a crime that the govern
ment should not tolerate and that every
loyal citizen should condemn and rebuke.
When Grant took over the sword of Lee
under the apple tree in lower Virginia, he
cut through the bars and put out every star
IN the emblem of secession, slavery and i'm
morality. And now, when our nation is at
war, and the call is to all, and not to a
section; when it is Liberty pleading to us to
save her from the wreck Of war and the
shock of battlefelds, even to show the flag
under which Jefferson Davis sought to tear
down our government and make our con-
stltutlon but scrap Of paper'' is too vul-
gar for easy patience
Fifty years, we know. is but moment
on the clock Of progress, but that short sea-
son is time enough to instruct the barbar-
Gus South that slavery IS dead, and that the
cause for which the South and Lee stood
against the stars Of God is, like Hector's
pup. corpse with all the inglorious past
The stars and bars-stars of shame and
bars OF slavery-is an emblem of the
wretchedness that carried Lincoln to his
grave. TO exhibit that sign anywhere in
this nation, particularly in time of war, is
an insult to the sons of all Union soldiers
and an offense to every Negro who wears
the uniform of his country and offers him
self to the cause of liberty.
Haul down the stars and bars. Haul it
down in Richmond and everywhere through
the South. Already the South has been left
too much to it's wicked idols There is but
one f1ag-''THE STARS AND STRIPES.

LIBRARY SERVICE
BOON TO MEN ON
TRIP OVER SEAs

New York, Oct 5.-Something to
read on the train. why, It's almost
as essential as a railroad ticket. And
who would dream Of embarking on a
sea voyage without a supply OF books
and magazines?
Well, then, picture a troop train
travelling thousands Of miles towards
IAN Atlantic port where the trans
ports are waiting; imagine the trans
ports steaming out Of harbor bound
on the long voyage to France, without
book or magazine on either train
or transport. Hideous. isn't it? Yet
this or nearly this. was the state of
things before the Library War Service
OF the American Library Association
took hold of the situation.
In the early days OF our particdpa-
ton in the war an officer finishing
three days journey in troop train
told friends that all the men had to
read were a few magazines hastily
purchased at stations along the way.
Those magazines were torn apart
in order to give pleasure to as many
as possible" said the officer, land long
before we finished the journey they
We're litearlly in shreds, read to pieces.
Take books along was the con-
slant counsel in these letters to friends
and relatives about to follow. We
had games said one letter, but the
boat was entirely too crowded for
things like that. If you can ina game
living for over a week in subway
train as it is during the rush hour,
you'll get a very good fdea Of the way
we existed during this trip across"
Beginning some months ago the
Library War Service OF the American
Library Association inaugurated a
system which ensures every man in
the army or navy a wealth OF reading
on all his journeys. beginning with his
trip to training camp. When a man
leaves home for camp he finds on the
train a Y. NJ. C. A. secretary, part Of
whose function it is to supply him
with current magazines. When he
gets ABOARD a troop train to proceed to
