At 12 o'clock the band went to the St. Helens Ship building company's yard to furnish music for the Drorram there. If the government could afford the loss of time the day would have been aeciarea holiday. Addrettes Are Mads At two of the yards addresses were given by officials of Mr. Wentworth's office. J. W.

In some cases, however, representatives of thu emoloves took part Tha addresses. In following out the program prepared by the shipping board, wtra the reading of two messages one from Chairman Hurley of the snipping board and one on the meaning of the flaar and the day. The first event on trie programs was a parade In each yard, made up of of ficial and employes, headed by the band, from a given point In the yard to the flaarstaff.

Flags Brokea Oat As the flags broke out and fluttered In the breexe, uproarious cheers broke from the workers, with the waving and toes might be bridged aad civilization be preserved. "'.' Oaly Oae Plag The message read to the shlpworkers by an executive officer of each, yard is as follows: There la one flag, and only one, that should fly at the peak of our flagstafr. That flag ts the flag of our country, which - for more than 140 years has been the eymbol of democracy to ail the nations of the world and the Inspiration toward tha enlargement of their 'freedom. It was a world that at first dis trusted democracy and foeght it bit terly with a selfish purpose a world, however, which tn these lat ter years has come to know that In democracy lies the safety and fu ture of civilization. Today the whole democratic world knows fully rnd to its coat that despotism seeks to overthrow and to crush It out for Its greedy advantage. And, there fore, never in all the years since the battles of Lexington and Con cord has this flag of ours ntood more firmly for the freedom of the world than In this present war,, when German despotism threatens us, and never have the American people realized as fully as today that .It Is the liberty and democracy symbolised In our national flag Hhlch Is the hope and secuilty of the world. But If only one flag may fly at the peak of our flagstaff, there Is another flag which should fly ' on the same staff Just beneath It a flag to which also we owe al legiance. Indeed, our allegiance to our country"b flag ts an empty thing and unavailing word unless this second flag stirs up to high en deaver. This second flag Is the flag of the United States shipping board. And today at this very hour. In the presence of more than 230,000 ship-' builders In 122 shipyards, extend ing; from Northern Maine down our Atlantic Coast, across the fulf snd up the Pacific, In all the shipyards of the Great Lakes, today. April 6. on the anniversary of our entrance Into this war for freedom, this flag Is rained. And It will fly as evidence that our army does not fight alone, un supported by our nation : that you. the shipbuilders of our country, sre al30 an -army fighting In support of that other army which fights In the muddy trenches of France. It will be an evidence ttiat high honor In these days to be ship builders r.nd to perform a task without which despotlfm would, over thiow democracy. And from you, therefore, these shipbuilders, there Is due especially an allegiance to our country's flag, and also. In order that your alleglence be effective, there is due a full service and al legiance to the flag of the United States shipping board. FRED V. KEY TO.
