"AMERICA."
The following prooe-poem is from
the pen of Mary Q. C. Gilmore of
Houston, Texas, and granddaughter
cf Prof. Gilmore of this city:
There was a time when prosperity and
peace had greatly changed her, '
"When many lost their high Ideals and
craved
The things which gave them pleasure
and great riches,
While the thought of others slaving
they had waived,
But now, since War's dark hand he
came so cruel,
And suffering has come . to other
lands,
And America Is fighting for her
brothers,
This nation begins to loosen social
bands.
So, with the strength and loyalty she
ever has,
Becoming 'great and larger day by
day,
This glorious country shall keep
fighting,
Till the right and peace and honor
win the way.
With the poople of this democratic
nation . .
Co-operating each and every one
And doing all they can to help their
country,
We surely must and will o'erthrow
the Hun.
America, for years, has servedher
people.
Now, let ua serve America instead,
The flag that has the stars and stripes
for freedom
Must never to the Teuton host be fed.
God bless xur native and adopted
land ' .
And may she always firmly stand
A bulwark for all that's right
Against the mlssarles of heartless
might.

Argument
lamit has bethrothed his only
child, the Princess Bulbul, to the
Prince Caspian and the prince is on
his way to attend the wedding. Tho
couple have never met, and the prin
cess vainly Implores her father not
to make her marry a man she has
never seen. The prince, on his side
determines to see his future wife be
fore the betrothal ceremony. On
teaching the outskirts of the city he
disguises himself and his friends as
peddlers, and thus clad they seek
the palace. The prince enters the
garden first and meets the maids of
honor. After much persuasion he Is
allowed to seek the princess, who is
rnamine disconsolately through the
woods. The prince peddler speedily
wins Bulbul's affections and endeav
ors to persuade her to give up the
Prince Caspian and elope with him
Instead. This the princess refuses to
do. They agree to meet once mor
in the ballroom that evening to say
enndbve. Unable to part with the
man she loves, Bulbul hides him b
hind a curtain, bidding him to trust
her. Consternation reigns later when
the king and court learn that the
nrince and Drlncess are both mlss-
Ine. All are still more horrified
when Bulbul enters the ballroom, :
long cloak over her gown, and an
fiounces that she will not wed the
prince, but instead the man she loves
a peddler. Throwing aside the cur
tain, behind which the prince is hid
den, she exposes him to the full view
of king and court. Grief is turned
to Joy. The'king recognizes in the
supposed peddler, the prince, and
Bulbul Is too pleased at the outcome
to be Indignant at the prank played
unon her. In the meantime, Ida,
who has always had a lingering fond'
ness for the king, proposes to him
under a promise he made that after
noon, and he Is bound to consent
Alain and Lllla make a third happy
couple,' and the three weddings are
set for "Tuesday at noon".

Steer Clear of All
Acts of Disloyalty
In the "Loyalty Leaflet," Issued
by the committee on public Informa
tion, Hon. Joseph Buffington, senior
United States circuit Judge, makes
the following Instructions to appli
cants for naturalization:
"In the first place, I want to say
that I have made It my duty to find
out what our government would do
In case of war, and whether It would
follow the example of the nations
abroad and would intern men who
had at one time been citizens of coun
tries at war with us. I am glad
to say to you that the government
has no purpose to Intern any men
and that any man who Is interned
will Intern himself by proving that
the government ought to Intern him.
The government Is going to start out
with thurstlng and believing In all
who are living here, and there will
be no interning or depriving any
foreign-born man of any country of
his liberty so long as that man Is
truly loyal to America.
"And I want to tell ydu, further,
that our government feels very
strongly that any 111 will or bad
treatment by any American citizen
toward any foreign-born man, simply
because he was born in a country
with which America is at war, would
be a serious blot upon the good name
of America. I am glad to give this
assurance to our foreign-born peo
ple, and to let every man who does
no wrong to the government know
that the government will not Im
prison or disturb him. So much for
the good will of the government to
ward them.
"And how about their good will
toward the government? This leads
me to, give a further message of cau
tion and friendly advice to those
who may have a bad will toward
our government, or who are listening
to bad advice, or who or any reason
are becoming disloyal to America, or
turning their faces away from her.
My advice to such men and women
Is to 'stop, look and listen before
they go further, for In times like
these such a course can not but lead
to a sorry end.
"War is the dividing line. Remem
ber what was only foolish and unwise
In word and deed last wek, In peace,
may be treason when war comes. Re
member, when war comes, no man
can serve two masters. As of old the
message comes, 'Choose ye this day
whom ye shall serve.'
"There is no such thing as half
treason. Any treason is all treason.
And let no foreign-born man, who
!s today In the United States, comfort
himself that, because hehas not be
come a naturanzea citizen, ne owes
no allegiance to the United States,
and that he can not be punished for
treason to the United States.
"My advice, therefore, to every
foreign-born man and women who Is
staying in the United States today
Is to keep clear of any disloyalty;
keep clear of any one who counsels
or advises it. Indeed, any one. na
tive, naturalized, or alien, who knows
of such disloyal plans, purposes, or
schemes Ms already on dangerous
ground, although he may not himself
have done a thing; for as your frleni
should tell you that there Is not
only treason which consist of overt
acts, but there Is a lesser treason
which consists in .knowing of treason
by others against the United States
and not making it known.
So In these times the safe path for
native-born, naturalized and the alien
Is not only to avoid treason one's self
but if one learns of It, to either go
In person or write some of the of
fleers named In this statute and tell
him what one knows.
It Is not necessary for me to tell
vou the many rorms treason may
take, for treason will always find a
hundred different secret ways In
which It can give aid and sympathy
to the enomy. But right can take
but one plain course Be loyal, true,
straight, and square to the govern
ment and you will be sure you are
not committing treason. I am not
trying to tell people how near they
con approach it. I am telling them
flow far they can keep from the line
by simply being loyal to the flag and
to America.
"When a man Is driving along a
precipice he tries to drive as far away
from the edge as he can. My advice
to every foreign-born man who comes
to me will be: Put a flag at your
floor, another on your coat, and,
above all, keep one in your heart.
If you do, you will stand four-square
rs countryman of Washington and
Lincoln, and no nation has ever loved
any leader, be he king or kaiser, sul
tan or czar, as all nations today love
George Washington and Abraham
Lincoln. In following their loyal foot
steps no man of any race can go
astray."

I.sms of the Angelesias
"I'm afraid the 'Isms' will get me,"
Billy Sunday is reported to have said
when' asked why he didn't hold a re
vival In Los Angeles. Billy must have
overcome his fears, which were
groundless for the meetings which he
held there last fall were a great suc
cess. Ask Rev. Carnahan. Not only
were tens of thousands of people con
verted, but the citizens were prevail
ed upon to prohibit the sale of al
coholic liquors, Los Angeles being
the largest city in the world where
this has been accomplished. Such
saloon signs as tills were common:
'VForty thousand-dollar stock of
liquors for sale March 31. Voted out
of business."
The old-time religion Is stronger
than ever In our southern metropo
lis. Dozens of splendid orthodox
churches adorn the downtown dis
trict,. Including Dr. Torry's million
dollar bible Institute and Church of
the Open Door, Trinity M. E. church
south. Temple Baptist and First
Methodist. The twe last named are
located on Central Park, right In the
thick of it, and all have congrega
tions of two or three thousands every
Sunday.
As for the Isms, the Christian Set
entists are pretty numerous, but all
the evidence we saw of Theosophlsts
Spiritualists, New Thought ancient
teachings of heathen Hindoos and
such like, was. two lecture rooms In
office buildings, where the various
agnostics took turns In expounding
strange doctrine.
Don't misunderstand me. Some ot
our finest friends, both in Ashland
and Los Angeles, belong to the above
mentioned cults. The writer favors
the fullest measure of religious liber
ty. Those who honestly differ with
us In doctrine deserve to be treated
with "respect and consideration, re
gardless of what we may think of
their thories.
The First Methodist church has
2500 members, and the pastor, Dr.
Locqe, is a wonderful sernionlzer. He
has a great deal to Bay about the war,
resarding it as a struggle between
right and wrong, the powers of light
and the powers of darkness. V?.
Biower, who followed Bob Burdette
as pastor of the Temple Baptist
church, has hold his present position
for eight years and Is a very popular
preacher. His face lighted up at the
mention of Ashland, for ho has many
friends here and cherishes pleasant
memories of the Granite City.
In connection with the Church of
the Open Door there Is a hotel for
men and one for women, these twin
hostelries being giant 13-story struc
tures. On the roof Is a wonderful
Bet of chimes, which are played every
evening, sending forth sweet, quiet
melodies over the restless city. One
of the .apartments we occupied' was
located about four feet from this
great institution and we could hear
them singing hymns without leaving
our rooms Dr. Horrey was a power
ful lecturer and revivalist In his day,
but aa he grows older his shell
seems to harden, and his present
preaching is marred by a pugnacious
Intolerance of the opinions of those
who differ with him In doctrine. Dr.
Selectman, of Trinity church, Is a
great pastor, but a poor preacher, ex
erting a strong 'influence for good
upon the public and private life of
the members of his congregation and
the entire city.
At the Mexican Methodist church
we attended Epworth League srvlces
and were surprised at the whole-souled
singing and deep devotional In
terest, contrasting strongly with the
sad and hopeless worshippers in the
old ; Catholic mission across the
Plaza. "The poor things haven't any
thing to be happy about," explained
a smiling senorlta. A tow-headed
Hun took a prominent part in the
services. A German spy? Perish tho
thought! And yet, who knows?

BANDON MAN INVENTS
NEW ELECTRICAL GI N
J. B. Peters of Bandon has Invent
ed a deadly auxiliary for either rlflo
or heavy field artillery, which has
been commandeered by the govern
ment. Mr. Peters Is a civil engineer,
but for many years his hobby has
been electricity, and much of his time
has been devoted to a solution of the
action of this 'natural element.
Six months ago he Invented the
device, whleh Is apparently so prom
ising that the government did not
allow him to patent it, but comman
deered It after a tryout. The device
will, It is expected, revolutionize
modern warfare in that where It Is
used no gunpowder Is needed. The
device generates Its own electricity,
making It an economy which will re
lieve the government of a gigantic
expense.
Mr. Peters says the mechanism is
simple In construction and the parte
are few and the principle not compli
cated. Mrs. Peters has been taught
the entire secret of the' device, it is
claimed, so that In case' anything:
happens to Mr. Peters the discovery
may not perish. Mr. and Mrs. Peter
have gone to Annapolis, but it Is ex
pected they will be sent by the gov
ernment to the war zone.
