lean responsibilities in the world

ed only by the shores of the farth

twenty-five million tons of ship
ping means more shipping than
Great Britain has today. 1t means
more than three times as much
shipping as America had before the
war, on sea and river and lake. 1t
means multiplying the merchant
marine of Germany more than four
times, 1t will be ten times the
merchant tonnage of France.
At least two.thiTds of the ships
will be government owned. Ever
if the formula of private ownership
is followed these vessels will still
be under government control

Conscientious Directors.

Conscientious objection to mill

the War Department learns through
reports from Maj. Richard c. Stod--
dard, Judge Julian w. Mack, Chica-

lumbia University Law School, a.
board designed by Secretary of War
Baker to confer personally with
such directors at the training
camps.
At Camp Gordon, Atlanta, there,
was an unusually large number Of
men segregated as directors. Kind
ly logic used by the special board
resulted in IL of the number &C.
cepting noncombatant service, and
IL withdrew objection or announc-
ed they had misunderstood the
original questions.
The board accepted as sincere the.
convictions of % members of reliei-
GUS denominations opposed to any
form of military service and recon-
mended them for furlough at a.

mended the men be- sent to Fort

Fifty-four men failed to convince
the board of their inability to take,
up military service without viola
ton of their consciences and must
accept service specified for them
by the commanding officer or stand

be citizens of enemy countries but
had no way of substantiating their
claims and it was held should not
be so classed. The board failed to-
examine four others who were in

The Peace Conference.

The most striking fact of all is |
the prestige of President Wilson in
the Allied countries. The Italians
hail him fervently as a champion
of idealistic aims. The French ad-
mire him warmly, but. perhaps like
Clemenceau, many of them are a
trifle skeptical about abstract
leagues in comparison with con-
crete entities like Alsace and LOr-
raine. 1t is in Britain that men are
wondering most earnestly what
Woodrow Wilson will advocate in a
Peace Conference. will he sup
port our program of short shrift
for Germany, strategic protection
against further attack, and a COM
mercial war after the war;" ask the
lingo Imperialists. Will he insist
upon the return of Alsace and Lor-
raine, the restoration of Belgium,
the complete independence of the
Balkan States and of the Russian
provinces, without punitive indem-
mites or economic boycotts?" in
quire the Liberals. will he advo-
cate before a military victory is
achieved a peace by negotiations"
ask the Social Pacifists. will he
try to secure the abolition of secret
treaties, disarmament, and League
of nations as a part of the peace
treaty." a frequent inquiry from
men of all parts. These questions
are important in themselves. but the
fact that they are asked is even
more significant in revealing sense
of the influence which the United
States will weld in the final settle
ment.

ulations with its own benefit in
mind. II will have to deal with the
veXed question of manning ships
with a careful eye upon preventing
distress and loss to Uncle Sam In
stead of the old suspicious and hos
tile attitude towards shipowners,
the government will remember its
heavy interest in the industry.
We may consider certain posi-
biities: Antitrust laws which pre-
vented combinations even in the
conduct of foreign business will no.
apply. Duties of consuls which in
volved shipping will cease altogeth-
er to have any air of being per-
functory. No lobby, such as that
maintained successfully by the
Hamburg. American line, will have
power to persuade Uncle Sam to do
damage to himself. Laws which
were passed for the welfare Of
American seamen in exchange fol

Flag Still There,


If the name of the negro soldier
concerned in this brief recital we're
known, it would be used in def
ance Of all the rules the censor can
think of. But he is nameless so far
|1He is the Color Sergeant of a regi-
ment of negro soldiers
The regiment swung down a
shell-marked road of France, the
Stars and Stripes fiuttering in the
air, the only dash of color in the
gray landscape They were very
near to the battle line.
An airplane battle high in the
air gave them the feeling of the
fray. Six German planes. forming
one of the famous "circuses," at
tackled two allied fliers, sent one of
them streaming to earth in flames,
and drove the other off. The Ger
mans began to circle and dive, still
we'll to the front of the advancing
column. Soon it became apparent
that they were reaching for low al
titude, intending to attack the regi-
ment from a little distance above
and riddle it with machine gun fire
The Colonel sensed the situation and
ordered that the men should get
off the road and lie fiat on the
ground.
Fall out. Take cover" went
down the line. The well trained
soldiers scattered like a covey of
quail, and a minute later there was
no target left for the swooping
hawks, for the road was clear and
the men were scattered khaki dots
against the gray earth.
The road was clear for all but one
man. Erect In his place, calmly
holding the flag high and steady
against the breeze. was the color
bearer.
Did you hear the order to lie
down." a lieutenant asked.
Yes, sah," quite respectfully
but while | kin stand up, l dom
never mean to let this flag touch
the dirt"
The Colonel heard and he did mo-
need to stop and ponder.
Let him stay where he is" h,
said.
So the circus flew past and dis
appeared and the flag Tapped higl
AMI clear. unframed. Then tn,
regiment reformed and ploddeC
down the muddy road to NEE
, their new comrades in arms, and t,
do their work.
