HARDING PAYS TRIBUTE TO KEY 'President Calls Anthem’s Writer a Shining Example for People. Speaks at fort m'henry 6tands on Scene of the Writing Under Fire of “The Star Spangled Ban. ner“—Mrs. Harding Kneel* Before Blind Veterans. Fort McHenry. Baltimore. June 10.— On this wind-swept promontory of Baltimore bay—the scene of the writing under tire of—The Star Spangled Banner” —President Harding walked Between lanes of living heroes of the great war who never again shall see. They were the blind from Flanders, the Argoone, Messines and Chateau Thierry. President Harding, accompanied by Mrs. Harding) shook hands with each member of the sightless battalion and Mrs. Harding kiielt before some of the more gravely stricken men as she murmured words of comfort to them. The presidential party motored to the fort on the bay point frpm the Emerson hotel, where Jhey had been the city's' luncheon guests. On arrival at the fort, the President was given a salute of twenty guns. A program of speeches and songs proceeded the President’s speech. President Harding’s speech: “The shrines of American patriotism not oply reflect the quality of its gratitude, but they are ever refreshing and inspiring. We are assembled today to rededicate one of these sacred shrines. “Here the patriotic sons of the early republic crushed one of the most ambitions - invasions ever aimed against our nation. Here, during the rage of combat, was born the swelling anthem of American patriotism. “It is wholly fitting tiiat Flag day should be clioseh for this commemoration and rededication, because our hymn of patriotism is an apostrophe to the flag we love. Yea, It Is apostrophe and invocation as well, born of a patriotic and poetic soul in the travail of a sublimely heroic light. “Someone has said in substance. ‘Let me write the songs of a people, and I care not who malted their laws.' That quotation presents one of the living truths In every luud, under every sky, about the appeal of poetry and song to the finer sentiments of the human heart. The truth is completely ■demonstrated In the appeal which “The Slat Spangled Banner’ made to the American people. '1 think It fair to say that we have come here today, not so much to pay tribute to the genius which caught the inspiration of a vital moment and ■wrote that insplrattoflTnto one of the eongs of the ages, bu rather more to memorialize the patriotic service of the author in his everlasting contribution to tlie soul uplift and exaltation of his countrymen who live after him. “Francis Scott Key,, though he produced som-* splendid lines, which are less familiar than , they deserve, was cot a great poet. He was less, but he was also more, than a great poet. He was possessor of a patriotism which in a. supreme moment could make words and meters its creatures and servitors, and so a modest genius whs raised in one flaming hour to a place' anjong the Immortals. “That the song became Instantly popular, and that when set to music it was immediately adopted as the anthem of militant .Americanism, testifies that already, more than a century ago, the conviction of a great nationalism and a great destiny had taken hold upon the American people. “It wa. not in the production of soul-stirring lines, thrilling with martlal appeal—it was in the contribution of his great hymn toward creating that sense of national pride and that realization of responsibility for a great adventure in behalf'•of humanity which became at last the inspiration of union preserved and of tiationalism established.” The President quoted from “The Btar Spangled Banner" the lines: , *' ‘Q, thus be It ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved home and the war's desolation !’ —“That was the poet's prayer," he said. “We may fairly claim, In pride for the deeds of our fathers, our firothers, the prayer has been granted, the faith has_been kept. “We need all the inspiration nniL faith. which fired his (Key's) glowing eouUof patriotism. No-generation of men lias’ ever come into the world to find its path smoothed, or to find its problems solved for it in advance. Solution is The fit price we-pay .for our Inheritance of liberty and opportunity.”

"We are shocked by things that have happened twice within a few days. The Supreme: court of our land has rendered decisions fitting only to tlte—dark days of 'old. There Is a boisterous and brazen" movement at work to destroy every progressive Institution and to submerge human rights for the sake of profiteers and Industrial autoerats. “We realize that there Is a grim struggle ahead. huLjye face the struggle with confidence In the ultimate victory of justice, confident in the finnl triumph of humanity. We shall continue the crusade. We face tlie future with hopeful hearts.

LASKER 0. K/S RUM SHIPS Declares Prohibition Laws Don’t Apply to American Vessels. REPLIES TO RUSCH LETTERS St. Louis Brewer Charge* Nation ii World’s “Biggest Bootlegger"— Chairman Says Traffic in Liquor is Needed to Build Up Merchant Marine. Washington, June 15.—The shipping board holds that “neither the Yolsted act nor the eighteenth amendment apply to American ships outside tlie three-mile limit,” Clypriuau Lasker declared in a letter to Adolphus Busch 111, vice president of tlie AnheuserBusch, Inc., of St. Louis. Continuing reports —that alcoholic drinks were being served on American ships at sea. Mr. Lasker asserted that tlie shipping board laid approved this custom “both from the standpoint of legal right and front tlie standpoint of tlie life and security of oui national merchant marine.” "The 'shipping' board has permitted and will continue to permit tlie serving of liquor on its ships,” he eontinHgar“gp lung m foruign-fiagghips are allowed to enter and depart from our shores exercising that privilege.” While it was true, Mr. Lasker said, that an assistant attorfley general “in tlie prior administration! ’had held that the prohibition laws were effective on American shipping wherever operated, the present genial counsel of tlie shipping hoard, his two assistants and the chairman himself were convinced that sucli an opinion was not soundly based and had approved the inclusion of witic lists as regular equipment of boats operated, under the board's supervision, for use. however, only beyond tlie Jurisdictional coastal line (three-mile limit). t "I do not believe I speak inadvisably when I state that so long as foreign ships can enter America serving liquor, tlie lack of that privilege might be the very determining factor in the life or death of the American merchant marine, and that, so long as foreign ships are allowed the privilege of entering ‘and departing from American ports serving liquor, that same privilege must be allowed—our "merchant ships.” Mr. Busch nttached to his letter to the President a copy of an editorial printed in the Chicago Tribune of May 6, 1922. “following n visit to the editorial offices by an official of the United States shipping board.” Declaring there was an insinuation that the editorial had been “inspired by that visit,” Mr. Lasker said: “I was the official who visited the Tribune on May 5, and I wish to record my emphatic denial that I in any way knew before or lit the lime of niy visit tlie views of the editors of the Tribune on this subject. I did not discuss tlie subject of prohibition with tlie editors of the Tribune at that visit or at any other It before or since. The fact is that I laid no' more advance knowledge than any other reader of the Tribune tiiat it Was going to publish such an editorial, “Your mean insinuations regarding incorruptible officials and editors-ree ftectS on you alone.

“I believe you to be thoroughly selfish and that you are acting in the hope of creating a public revolt against prohibition so that you may again revive the sale of your liquors, utterly regardless of how. you might hurt The American merchant marine in your effort to create a situation to benefit your brewery. "It is. of course, notorious mat rhe Adolphus lflisch. who founded your brewery was possibly “ the kaiser's closest friend in America, and that your family for many years has - maintained a castle in Germany; your action in any event will not displease your'German friends whose greatest hope of a restored German merchant marine is in it hurt to America’s ueivborti merchant nr,Trine.’** Mr Lasker made public a J the same time the'Text of an'opinion) just rendered to him ,by Elmer Schlesinger, general counsel of the shipping board, upholding anew the legality of the serving of liquor— on American ships at sea. ■ St. Louis, June 15.—A letter charging the United States is “incomparably tlie biggest bootlegger in the world," written by August A. Busch, president of Anheuser Busch,.lnc., while on. tlie way to Europe aboard the steamship George Washington, and which has been fo'rwanied to President Hording, was made 'public here with an nccompnnying letter by Adolphus Bttscli, 111,, his son.
