LODGE TO
MAKE DRIVE FOR
OLD IR0NSIDES

President Coolidge has recently an
nounced the selection of topics
for he 0O-word essay contest deal
ing with the historic frigate, U. S.
5. Constitution, that is to be conduct
ed in connection with the Benevo-
lent and Protective Order of Elks'
school childrens drive to save "Old
Ironsides.' Commander Marion Ep-
pley, U. S. N. r., of Newport, r. l.,
Vice President of the Navy League
of the United States, has donated
1852 gold, silver, and bronze medals
for the best essays in the elementary
and high schools, and colleges.
In his letter to Curtis D.. Wilbur,
Secretary of the Navy, President
Coolidge selected the following top
les:
For Colleges 1.-The contribution
of the U. S. S. Constitution to hui
man liberty and to National prog
ress."
For High Schools-"Why did the
victories of the U. S. S. Constitution
contribute SO largely to our success
in the War of 1922"
For Elementary Schools-"Why
will the preservation of the U. S.
S. Constitution promote patriotism"
1.-The active service of old IRON
sides extending as it did over eighty
four years from 1898 to 1882 covers
the greater part of our history, and
a study of her record will turn the
thoughts of u younger people to
many of the most important events
in the development of our Nation"
says President Coolidge in his letter.
Il therefore trust there will be wide
spread competition for the Old Iron
sides medals, because an under
standing of the fundamentals of our
history is most helpful to discharg-
ing the duties OFF citizenship"
The Secretary of the Navy request
ed the Navy League of the United
States to distribute and make awards
of the "Old Ironsides" medals, but
that organization has requested the
Elks t make the awards in the ele-
mentary and high schools in the 400
Lodge districts and present the
medals at the patriotic exercises to
be staged in the schools during "Old
Ironsides Week." October 19th-24th,
when the donations of the children
will be collected. The Navy League
will decide upon the collegiate win
ners.
Commander Eppley, who donated
the medals, was a professor of Elec-
tro Chemistry at Princeton when
America entered the World War. He
Immediately accepted a commission
in the Navy and vas assigned as an
experiment officer at the Newport
torpedo station where he distinguish
ed himself by perfecting a standard
electric cell, a means OF celebration
of scientific instruments with pre-
cision. Prior to the war this was a
secret German process. For this
achievement and several improve
ments in the mechanism OF the naval
torpedo he was appointed to the rank
of Commander. Commander Eppley
lives in Newport and is a member OF
the local lodge of Elks.

1t has been very hard for some of the so-called
liberals, who really anarchists in disguise to
keep from showing their true colors as enemies of
the Soviet government. They have finally decided
that free speech just like we have in the United
States must be had by their counter-revolutionary
kinfolk in Russia. They have looked clear across
France Germany, Italy, Poland, Esthonia, Finland,
Lithuania, Roumania, Bulgaria, Jugo-Slavia, with

as matter of selfpreseryaton, where even to these
vermin amnesty after amnesty has been granted.
Their purpose is so plain that no amount of
humanitarian phrases and hypocritical devotion to
free speech in the abstract disguise it. They
are against the dictatorship of the working Glass;
they are against the Communist Party and the
Communist International and they are therefore
part of world capitalist reaction.
