Tour Flag and Ny Flag

The banner breaks in glory on the breeze,
The trumpets sing from all their brazen threats
chorused chant of thrilling harmonies
The drurnbeats throb amid the ringing notes
An echo but growing echo yes
An echo that is flung from hill to plain,
An echo that shall never grow the less,
Born from the chord that was not struck in vain.
The diapason of the booming guns
Blends with the shriller sounding OF the cheers
All this had been foreheard by those great ones
Who planned the structure in the former years,
Who dreamed and dared and gave of wealth and life
That this great nation-song should never cease,
Who blent the surgng song Of somber strife
With all the after croons of honored peacel
& And SO TODAY the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their blood brotered east and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fullness of our faith is all expressed
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When men for hearth and home and manhood warred-
The truths our nation has been buided on.
And higher than the farthest reach of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die
The flag of promise floats from sea TO sea,
The bugles shout in answer to the drum
And send sense of strength to you and me
From days that were, and are and are to comet

II may be the yellow Peril" alarm
lists in America will be somewhat 81
fenced by the statement of Viscount
Uchida, minister for foreign affairs, at
the opening of the japanese parlia-
ment. He declared that Japan had
mo aspiration but TO seek the CONSUME
nation of free and unfettered devel-
opment of her national life along the
highway of justice and peace" and
that she was determined to pursue a
fair and clean policy in all internation-
al relations" He especially emphasized
his country's friendship for China and
Russia and denied that it would be
Japan's policy to take advantage Of
the domestic troubles Of Russia to pro-
mote selfish aims Of territorial or eco
monte aggression. The Japanese for
eign office also issued denials of mis-
chieyous reports Of japanese activi-
ties in China, particularly in regard to
the granting Of loans.

was the next scheduled for presenta-
ton. It was said President Wilson
would not submit his scheme until all
others had been heard, not only out OF
Difference to the European nations but
in the belief that when the others have
been discussed, his plan may serve to
reconcile the differences that will have
developed. That these differences will
not be great is the belief of Lord Cecil,
who saws he found in conversations
with the delegates that there was in
very large measure Arrangement on
the principles he outlined.

for peace of justice based on Presl-

One of the worst beatings the boil
shevild of Russia have received was
after the capture of Narva by the
ESthOnians, and the victors declare it
amounted to a complete rout The
Esthonian army at once moved on
Petrograd, taking many prisoners and
guns. London heard that Trotzky or
dered the governor Of Petrograd to
surrender the city without a struggle.

The British draft Of a league Of ma
lions was submitted to the peace dele
gates last week by Lord Robert Cecil,
who said it was his opinion that an In
ternational tribunal with absolutely
binding powers is not practical at the
present time. The British plan follows
the ideas Of General Shuts, the South
African leader, and contemplates a
league relying largely on public opin-
ion and having the power to impose
delay on disputants before resort to
arms. The French plan for Q league

parts of Germany. The murder may
be the beginning of new period of

 The fourteen-inches had greater range than any gun ever before placed on mobile mountings. The German guns which fired on Paris were freaks" They were built on permanent steel and concrete founda tions. Their projectile was small and specially buil -3r iong flight This reduced their efficiency and while they had moral effect their mil itary value was small Because of their permanent position their loca tion was discovered by Allied avia- tors and the guns silenced. The Ger man 15-inch gun in Flanders also became famous for it's long range bombardment of Dunkirk and other Allied bases. but neither could be shifted from base to base without de- lay of weeks.

GREAT NAVAL ADVANCEMENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 6.-AG vancement of naval armament iron Spanish American war days to pres ent is shown in the weight of 2 broadside fire from the old 'b9ttleshil Oregon, the largest at the time O the Spanish-American war and iron vessels of the Pennsylvania type O. the. new Pacific fleet.
 The Oregon could fire broadsids of steel projectiles weighing 5.66'' pounds. A broadside from the Penl- sylvania type with it's 15-inch guns would weigt 17.500 pounds.
 Future American dreadnaughts and battle-cruisers are to mount 16-inch guns. Each projectile will weigh g. 100 pounds compared with the IA inch shells of the Pennsylvania. hT' broadside from the future battle ships will weigh 25,200 pounds more than four times the size of all Oregon broadside.
 Admiral Robley D. Evans com manded the Atlantic fleet until fl reached San Francisco. All his yes sels burned coal. as did the Oregon of Spanish American war days. Ad mjral Rodman's flagship. the New Mexico is electrically propelled and most of his vessels are oil burners. thus materially increasing their cruis- ing radius over any previous Ameri. can feet.

and Glendale in one thought almost
seems sacrilege.

some active Bolsheyists in our midst.
Not only that. but We have 4 Spartacide

about the Bolshevists on the other What
