permitted to flourish at all. We have

"OH SAY, CAN YOU?"

Oh, say, can you sing from the start
to the end,
What SO proudly you stand for when
orchestras play it;
hen the whole congregation, in
voices that blend,
Strike up the grand hymn, and then
torture and slay it?
But 'the dawn's early light" finds
them floundering about,
How they below and shout when
they're first starting out,
Tis 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner
they're trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of
the precious old thing.
Hank! The "twilight's last cleaning
has some of them stopped,
But the valiant survivors press for
ward serenely.
To "the ramparts we watched" where
some others are dropped
And the loss of the leaders is mani.
fest keanly.
Then ''the rockets red glare" gives
the bravest scare,
And there's few left to face the
''bombs bursting in air!'-
IT'S thin line Of heroes that man
ace to save
The last Of the verse and ''the home
Of the brave"

This paper has enlisted
with the government in the
cause of America for the
period of the war

The federal court in session in Bis
marck has found a German Lutheran
minister guilty OF violating the espi-
onage act under three counts, and
the court sentenced the kaiser's friend
to three years in Leavenworth. This
should serve as warning to others
of Tutonic blood who seem to think
more of the fatherland than of the
country that has given them all they
possess. They should realize the
truth of what Judge Amidon said in
sentencing Rev. Fontana; that, "the
day has arrived when you and the
likes of you must grow an American
soul within your body" Don't con-
tinue to be biockheads, be Americans

change that has come to so many hun

They have become the "good animals"
that Spencer claimed man must be

there had been no war, what would
