State prohibitory law. I have lived 1t.
credit than some Of my brothers who
have been tempted. am a teetotaler.
The man or woman who persistently
violates law OF any kind is helping to
undermine the government just as true
as the man who carries a red nag in
his hand and anarchy in his heart.
Il stand for those things you stand
for. No man who does not reverence
the nav Is not worthy of the name Of
American citizen. One of the great du-
ties Of You women is to exercise the
right Of the franchise in order that
the men who are not worthy shall not
be in Office and those who are not At In
office should not be reelected.
THE love of God. This is where
wish I had a roomful of men. If We
are going to have 100 per cent. Ameri-
canism We must love God and carry
out what He stands for. There is
abroad in the land today influences
which tend to drive out of the hearts
of men the feeling Of love and put in
them the feeling Of hate and discord.
I believe If the Christian religion
means anything it means we shall love
God with all our heart and our neigh
bors as ourselves. We have no place
in our heart for anything that spells
hatred.
when we saw the boys marching by
as defenders Of our flag. we did not
ask them what religion, what creed or
what race. When the great resurrec-
ton day comes they will not be asked
what race, religion or creed. I believe
the Maker will ask, Did you serve your
country we'll? Were you true to your
flag and your God?'
IF man loves his God, then his
nag will be pretty safe. If a man can
live like a 100 per cent. American it
doesn't make any difference where he
was born.
What is the right way to face this
situation? ] like the fashioned
way Of getting down on our knees, in
spirit at least. and asking the Master
what is the right thing.
Nothing will ever set this dizzy old
world on its feet except the spirit of
the love like that of the Man of Cali
lee. If We would bring that into our
politics (pardon the reference), it
would be a better world and we would
be better individuals.
I'VE thought that after the war ev-
erything would be settled. But in the
times OF peace things are not just like
we would like to have them. We are
confronted by dangerour menacing
conditions. What is back Of it we can
not say. 1t may only be mental ILL
ness

short but most emphatic talk which
Mr.. Harrington gave the women.
Love of the home. ones fellow man
and love of the country and of God
are the fundamentals, as put forth
by the speaker.
Mrs. George A. Gay introduced the
speaker of the afternoon in few
well chosen words.
There are a good many things
that I might talk about this after
noon" in introduction said Mr.. Far
rington, But 1t is a relief to come
back to my own city and speak to
my own people on a subject not akin
to politics. We hear great deal
about 100 per cent Americanism.
Your definition and mine might diff
fer in phrasing. We will all agree
on some things.
1--WE will agree that he is 100 per
cent American who loves his home,
his fellowmen. his country, the Unit
ed States of America and who loves
his God. the same God you and l
worship. The man who measures
UP is he who adheres to this. no
matter what the stress may be.
sit Ia Important that the home
should be an attractive place with
good pictures, good books and good
music. These are all easily OBJ
tainable. The radio brings us good
music as we'll as keeps us up nights
and it also brings us the spoken
word.
There is one book. when I speak
of good books, that, I'm afraid, isn't
in the homes as much as it should
be. That book is the Bible. In the
home the Bible is not so evident as
it should be; that is significant; it
Is dangerous.
at is time that our home and our
nation got back to the fundamentals.
that of the family prayer. One of the
essentials of good Americanism is
love of the home.
LAS I came up the street this at
ternoon I saw the flag flying. hope
the time will come when the Ameri-
can flag will be found alongside the
Bible in every home in this country.
When we do that we will not have
to ponder in the solving of the prob
lens which will arise.
How easy 1t Is to misjudge the
other fellow. In the early days of
the war how easy 1t was to call the
fellow stingy WHO did not give as
much as we though he should in the
drive for funds. Yet. later.&we might
find that fellow had a widowed
mother or others to support. Then

Near Crisis for
Govt. in French
Chamber Deputies

Paris. Feb. s (By \. P)-The
partisan tendency of the debate IN
the chamber Of deputies on econ
omies and new taxes developed a
crisis this afternoon il the course of
which it was thought for few min
Gtes that Premier poincare would re-
sign. Indeed. the premier and the
entire cabinet withdrew from the
chamber for a short time
The discussion reached n very high
tension soon after the opening of the
afternoon session, when NJ. Elotz, n
former minister of finance, endeav-
ored to draw the premier out as TO
what economies he intended to make.
striving especially for declaration
as to whether the government plan
ned to slow up on the construction
of submarines.
Several moderate and conserva-
tive deputies interrupted to say that
M. KloIz had never before shown any
particular interest in national de-
tense and that one of the ca binets
to which he had belonged failed to
supply France with heavy artillery,
which she entirely lacked at the be-
ginning of the war. This turned the
debate into n duel of recrininations
in which both sides endeavored to
MACE on the other the responsibility
for Frances lack of preparedness in
1914.

Seek to Shift
Responsibility on
Half Wasting of Flag

Berlin. Feb. s. (By a. P)-The for
cign office refuses to discuss the re-
port of the possivle resignation of
Ambassador Wiedfeldt as Il result of
the Washington flag incident. al
though in official ard semi official
circles the position is taken that the
instructions sent to the ambassador
by the foreign Office TWO days before
MIR. Wilson's death empowered him
to place the embassy flag at half
mast if he thought it advisable.
This view. however, apparently is
not shared by most of the foreign
diplomats here who mold that the
foreign Offices instructions advising
Ambassador Wiedfeldt that the Ger
man government desired to take no
official recognition of Mr. Wilson s
death. but authorizing him to do what
he thought best in a strictly personal
capacity. did not justify him in half
nasting the embassy dag. which ac-
ton is universally regarded by Dip
lomats as an official act.
1t seems to be the intention of the
German foreign office to shift the
responsibility to Mr.. Wiedfeldt and
as it is known that he desires to re-
turn to his old post with the krupp
concern, it would cause no surprise
If he took this occasion 10 leave the
diplomatic service which he entered
unwiilingly.
