Porter Fisher is the command der in chief at the
Harlem Boys Home. better known in New York
the Boys Hotel.
Many persons, including fathers and mothers of
boys. are interested in the boy problem" There
are boy problems in mansions as we'll as in tene-
ments. But the most serious of all boy problems
is the boy who has no home. the lad who roams the
street, seeking shelter in place which really isn't
his home although it may be the home of near
relative. Often it doesn't come that near being a
home.
Most often that boy goes wrong And who can
blame him? Surely not society which makes it
possible for him to make a mess OF life and then
Furnishes him for doing so.
Porter Fisher is devoting his life to the work of
preventing homeless. boys from making mess Of
their lives He goes out into the streets and alleys
OF Americas biggest city hunting for boys who may
start downward, who already have headed that
way.
I'VE think it is great achievement to take a
tough boy from the streets and mold him into
fine young man." Fisher said, explaining his work.
In the land OF homeless boys the name of Porter
Fisher means something. There they like him
and do we!

The Greatest Fourth.

The times moving so swiftly that we do not
know what the Present is, much less the
Future. On this Independence Day we are proud,
prouder than ever, of history and what our
Past has been but we are forced, even against our
viii, to think OF the day as having new changed
meaning, being a day which we are deter
mined that the world as we'll as America shall
celebrate.
OF course, we do not mean that the world will
join with us in celebrating the anniversary of
American independence. But we are planning to
give the Fourth of July real significance to every
nation which is today fighting for greater free
dom than that which has hitherto been within the
power of civilized pcoples-freedom from militar-
ism, from caste, from autocracy. from every yoke
that has prevented the weak and the humble from
coming into their heritage.
On this day fortunate enough to have a
spokesman, leader who is big enough to think
not in terms OF Americanism only, but of interna-
tionalism. The President speaks today at Mount
Vernon, the shrine of American freedom. He is
planning to send a message around the world. 1t
will be meant for the Russians, for the Germans,
for every people who in the travail OF this war
learning our own lesson that in freedom and de-
mocracy alone is there salvation for the world.
America can point to the Fourth OF July with
out shrili spread-eaglesnf and tell every nation,
no matter how much older, how much wiser than
all. The world is getting small that there is
room in it for only system. That system is to
be autocracy, il. Germany tri Eaphs; democracy, ii
our cause is victorious. There is middle ground
The decision must be absolute one way or the
other.
We do not have to pretend that democracy is
4 solvent for all the ills OF mankind. that it
ushcrs in the millennium, that it means perfect
happiness or a reformation Of that curious COM
plex that we call human nature. We do not have
to stand such flaccid generalization as that.
But We do say that it is better than auocracy that
it must prevail if mankind is not be broken on
the wheel through the fury OF contending systems
and the rivalry OF imperialist nations.
This Fourth OF July that America VOWS
TO fight as she fought in I776, until the cause is
won 10 the uttcrmost limits of what we have es-
saved to win Imperialism and autocracy must
vanish from the face of the earth. Otherwise our
victory no matter how clean-cut from the military
point OF view, would be empty.

signing our Declaration Of Independence did not
declare that all Americans are created equal with
certain unsiienable rights No. their vision took
in AL men,"
Both Washington and the Congress of July,
I776. saw that Europe's vicissitudes might become
extraordinary. that slavery of Europe might some-
time ieopardize the american liberty for which they
were offering their lives and all else they had.
Wonderful the vision and the wisdom of those
old Revolutionary heroesl The possibility which
they foresaw has arrived. Americans cannot be
born equal, cannot possess the unalenable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with
their European brothers under the heel of Prussan
autocracy. II is our war even more than that of
the British the French the Italian, for we fight
to hold what we won with blood and treasure in

Mothers of America today and do them homage.
1t is they who have given the army that has taken

they be permitted to merge with the general stream
sweeping down through the ages unnoticed and
forgotten after the fight has been won and peace
has been declared. d"

and to the cause for which we are fighting Such
