The rich of this country cannot alone meet the needs of the Nation; the men of the country cannot do It alone; the women of the country cannot do It alone; but all of ue, the people of tho United States, dlire carding partlzanshlp, forgettino selfish Interests, thinking only of the supremacy of right and determining to vindicate the majesty of American Ideals and secure the safety of America and civilization, can do the great and splendid work which God has called upon us to do.

M( Fson I Composed by MIh Harriot ttltlll'll llltfl llttl I t'lll'Ki) Itl lllkl1 X at tho Decoration Day oxer $ oisps in KiolilulKl, nu.s. It luid been a long, hard day of both physical and mental strain and I sat down it) ti soft cushion- led scat in the garden to rest my weary frame from the labors of tho day and to call back my mind from the worries and cares of a nineteen hundred and eighteen existence. As 1 sat there, all naturo seem ed to realize my stute and did its best for my convenience. The deep quiet shadows that envelop the eventide drew their snauy curtains ciose auout me, seemingly to shut out till approach to my seclusion. The tall old elm under which 1 sat swayed gently back and forth as though lulling me to rest. While the sweet pulo faces uf May rosebuds nodded to me through the gloom and wins pored: "Yes, we know, wo know sleep now and we'll keep watch.' And, with their sweet lulling fragrance affusing tho cool oven ing air, I was rapidly slipping away into dream land when I wa3 refrained by a gentle touch on my arm Startled, I looked up quickly and beheld a beautiful white robed creature bending close above me. "Who are you?" asked as quieUiy as I found breath for the eilort, ai'd, bending low and hi a luisu whisper, it said 1 am the spirit of seventeen hundred seventy-six, eighteen hundred sixty-one, and last, ye greatest of all, nineteen hundred and eighteen." Then, in a stli lower whisper and, if possible, a more tense tone, said: "Come with me and I will introduce you into thq things that are. I know not why, but I rose up quickly and followed. It was a long journey, over hil i at anu vaie, over water ami :over land. The pinions on which I traveled grew weary of the jour ney, but the Spirit 'ed on and I followed. And then why had not I thought of it before? That which weighed my mind to its heaviest through each day and terrorized my dreams far into tho night A mighty whiff of powder rushed in upon me while the bursting shells of cannon and mammoth guns deafened mo with their deadly roar. And I looked and behold the mighty nations of the world cbn tending in one fierce struggle, My breath jerked with fear and my wings lowered a3 though t drop, but the spirit said "Bear up now, for worse things are yet to comer' I looked at those blood-drcnch- od nations basking in human blood und, for the first time in our journey, I addressed my com panion) 'Oh "Spirit," I 'cried, Worse things? How can there be worse things?" And he lifted up a veil and I recognized it to be the veil of the past and beyond that veil I saw a nation clean and prosperous, beautiful in simple home life blessed with a happy peoplo. The picture shifted and I saw that nation running with human blood, its picturesque fields do vastod by tho cruel hand of i most cruelly waged war. I saw Innocent childhood, maimed for life, pooping from behind obstruc tions to a parent to succor it in its trouble looking for ono that would never bo againand I saw tho purity of womanhood tram pled to death beneath tho savage foot of tho onomy, ami 1 cried "0 Belgium, who will avengoyou this ghastly wrong?" Then 1 whispered to tho Spirit "It is enough," mid ho lowered tho veil and again I was in tho present. It was not until" then that 1 realized the appalling strength of the enemy. 1 saw tho valiant Fionch lines gradually give place to tho dreadful advance of the Huns; 1 saw tho British after n noblo attempt to stand, gradually withdraw and leave tho field to tho enemy. And 1 looked again and saw the khaki clad boys of our own 'Red, White and Blue standing out heroically against the dreadful and hellish onruh of the domouizod onomy, and 1 saw those same boys lie mangled and bleeding on tho ground while that demon host swept on to inner territory. Terror stricken, I turned and cried "Oh what will be the end of this great and mighty trag edy? Aro the nations of the world destined to bo swayed by tyrannical hand of imperialism? Aro I he virtues symbolized in tho Stars and Stripo3 of our llag of liberty to become crushed and extinguished by tho blighting arm of tyranny? Are tho liber ties anu principles won ny our forefathei-3 in the days of '70 and 'Gl to become only cheriehed memories of things tiiat aro pass ed in the minds and hearts of American people?" But the Spirit said "Be calm, the fight is not over, America has only begun to enter into the struggle. She, with her great resources b'tth of focd and of human strength will change, if fate permits a change, this migh ty struggle." But seeing .my distress he bended low and in a softly soothing whimper said, "Come with me and I will show you the things that aro to come.' And he lifted up a veil and I recognized it to be the veil of the future and beyond that veil I saw devastated nations being rapidly rebuilt and equipped, in a mo3t modern manner, j saw little Belgium blossoming once mor: into a ungnt and prosperous i i country, and I saw a conquered and ruined Germany lifted up out of the ashes of despair, ripening into a glorious land content only with peace and brotherly kind ness. With my heart wcli nigh burst- ng wim rapture i glanced up ward and saw Old Glory, tho key to the secret f that great and mighty accomplishment, and with in it3 folds the Spirit and I read these words: "Justice and Peace for all Nations and d Mighty World Democracy Now and Forever More.'' Overcome with omotion, I slip ped quietly back into the gardcri tb smile at the sweet pale faces of May rose buds nodding to mo through the gloom. Flags! Flags!! Flags!!!
