 Liberty Still Hangs in Balance. Although the war for human liberty 1 has been fought we cannot feel that Lit is even yet safely won, said Mrs. Minor in her opening words. The lib- 1 critics of the English speaking races 1, still hang in the balance, she contin- isued.
 Revolution raises it's bloody hands | not only i. in Russia. but even in | democratic freedom loving England l and in our own. steady and law abid- | ing land where the bolshevist agita- tor. ineites labor against our govern | ment. The hour calls for more men like Governor Coolidge of~Massachu-
 setts, who said, There is no right to
 strike against the public safety by anybody anywhere, any time, The high cost of living is adding to this
 unrest. It is not all due to profteer- ing.
 Let. us be deaf to all we are hear l ing these days about the so-calleo
 "sp6ils of the allies the "graspine
 ambition of England to "dominatt the world. etc. Let us hold fast tc the high memories of the war wher the best manhood of these nation. were, laying down their lives on Elan I ders fields to save the civilization O the world. We are entering upon { new form of the same old struggle against the Hun.
 | What we need is. to hold fast to tn, faith that won the physical struggl, and must now win the psychological conflict and bring about a real ant lasting peace. The struggle is stil
 on and the allied flags, though furlet
 and withdrawn from our outward sight must still wave in our hearts l. Test we forgef' and in forgetting los I the great fight we. fought together. I What sare we, the Daughters of tn : American Revolution going to do il
 this crisis? Our society needs befor
 all else a great awakening to a re
 alizing sense of what it stands fo
 and the position it holds in relatio, ; to the chaotic conditions I have out lined.
