The general committee represent
ing the various fraternal societies
and organizations of tn town that
was appointed by the Commercial
Club to arrange for welcome to the
returned soldiers and sailors met at
the Armory Tuesday night and it
was decided to hold the celebration
on July A. This will be welcome to
all the soldiers and sailors of Gale
donia county including also any now
in the county that were in the SER
vice wherever they have enlisted. 1t
is expected that this will be tn big
gst and best celebration ever held in
town. AS none Of the committees
have met yet for completing the de-
tails it is too early to give the entire
program, but the notable features Of
the day will be sports, a big parade,
music, speaking and fireworks. 1t is
epected that all the organizations in
town will be represented in the par
ade, either by thir members or by
floats, and there will be something

Adjutant- General Herbert T. John
son of Montpelier has accepted an in
vitation to review the parade and

bury and vicinity. The names Of the
other speakers will be announced
later.
This will be a real celebration as
well as a welcome to the returned
soldiers and sailors, and with all the
attractions that are contemplated it
is safe to say that St. Johnsbury will
see the biggest crowd here that day
since thes ummer 1891 when Presi-
dent Harrison addressed over $4,000
people from the Athenaeum balcony.
The general committee held three
hours session Tuesday night and eff

PUT DOWN THE RED
FLAG is WARNING
OF GENERAL WOOD
Tells Graduates 'Tt Floats
Only Where COWards
Are I'm Power"
AMERICAN FLAG ONLY
AMERICAN FLAG ONLY
Avoid Dangerous Doctrines and
Work to Build Up Spirit of
Cooperation and Helpfulness

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June II
"Put down the red flag. 1t only
floats where towards are in power
Such was the warning of Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood in his address as
honorary chancellor at the 1870
commencement of Union College
Monday. He received the honorary
degree of Doctor of Laws from the
college.
General Wood advocated prepared
ness for war as the best means for an
enduring peace. Other outstanding
points of his address .were:-
"Give the soldier coming back his
old job OF one for which he is fitted.
"Turn your face against the red
flag, ruthlessly, resolutely, relentless
ly.
"Guard against dangers of shallow
thinking, loose writing and hot
speech.
Cit yourself physically for duty
that may have to be done by war.
Empress upon labor and business
their. .interlocking dependency. Pay
teachers a wage in keeping with their
service.
"Watch and guard woman's new
found economic position"
"There was a man who recently
died." declared General Wood, "who
said there is room in this country for
only one flag. That man was Colonel
Roosevelt. 1t is our flag.
Applause frequently interrupted
the honorary chancellor.
"In times like these" he said, "the
Red Flag seeks to gain foothold in
every land. 1t has brought chaos to
other lands. We want stability here.
We must turn our faces against the
red flag. 1t is the flag of evil, against
the institutions it has taken us
century to build up; against our flag.
"We do not want autocfacy OF
either capital or labor in this coun-
try. We will not have them.
'We want to build up spirit of
and helpfulness which
will make it impossible for the forces
of disorder to show themselves here,
and if they do, will enable us to put
them down promptly with a strong
hand, for we must impress upon our
people that true liberty is found
within the law and not outside of it,
"There is room in this country for
but one flag, and that is the Ameri-
can flag.
"These are times of dangerous
world psychology. The barriers be-
tween ordered government and
chaos are down in some nations and
in others. We must stand
on our feet here. Avoid
the dangerous doctrines of the
hour that are masquerading under
the banner of liberal ideas and pro-
gress.'
Forty-eight undergraduates re-
ceived degrees. The degree of doctor
of medicine was conferred on twelve
graduates of the medical school and
advanced degrees were bestowed on
sixteen post-graduates.

From Submarine

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The Ger
man submarine Bremen, sister ship to
the Deutschland, was sunk by a Brit
ish submarine at the mouth of the Kiel
Canal, according to statement to-day
by Representative King, of Illinois,
who recently returned from Europe
al am one of the few Americans who,
until to-day, knew the story of the
Bremen" said Mr.. King. 81 learned it
by chance while abroad
"An American naval officer, lieu
tenant commander, whose name ] am
not free to disclose, told me a British
submarine commander brought his
craft to the surface early one morning
within hitting distance of the mouth
of the Kiel Canal.
There, not fifty feet away, lay a
huge submarine. 1t was the work of
but few moments to land two tor
pedoes amidships. There was a terri
fic explosion, separating the submarine
in the middle. Both ends rose high in
the air, and on the bow the British
submarine commander clearly read the
word Bremen.
"Ths officer afterward received two
letters from the British Admiralty, one
lauding him for sinking the Bremen,
and the other censuring him for sink
ing an unarmed merchant craft"
