UNDERWOOD SAYS OUR GOV.
ERNMENT A CLASS AMUSER

Birmingham, Ala, July ID,
Declaring that "the government
has become the football of the
plunderer." United States SEN
ator Underwood in an address
last evening at the reunion of
the Rainbow division, pleaded
with the Word War Veterans
to become leader in the fight a
gainst dangers which he said
are threatening the life of the
Republic.
"A dawn of the new era"
said the senator, has brought
changes which have confused the
march of progress and obscured
the principle upon which the
nation was founded" Veterans
of the World War he suggested
have not really been mustered
out of service. but have been fur
lowed to serve again "for the
safety OF our common heritage"
1--WE are standing in the dawn of
\ new era Of our Republic" SEN
ator Underwood declared. "The
tremnduous force of new ideas
and new conditions must be met
and solved. Apparently no plan
remains steadfast and no plicy
is approved. The government
has become the football of the
partisan and the desire OF the
pluderer.
Where can we better turn to
find the leaders to pilot the ma.
ton out Of the doubts and dam
gers that seem to threaten us
than by turning with confidence
to the courageous men who saved
our honor on the battle fields of
the great war? Men of the
Rainbow division, you who serv-
ed and sacrificed at your coun-
try's call, are you really muster.
ed out of your country's service,
or have you been furloughed TO
serve and sacrifice again as cit
liens of the republic for the
honor Of your country, the
glory of our flag, and the safety
of our common heritage?"
