Saluting the Colors Richmond is no worse than other communities in neglecting to salute the flag when it is tarried by or when the pedestrian passes below it.

One of the amenities that all of us might cul-1

tivate with profit to ourselves and benefit to the national morale is a proper respect for the national colors. Our flag is not a mere piece of red, white and blue bunting, but" the symbol of a mighfy principle which translated into practice guarantees to all of us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and is the assurance to all the oppressed nations of the world that American manhood and money is pledged to their redemption. Our national colors have never gone forward on a mission of conquest, exploitation and territorial aggrandizement. The soldiers that have consecrated their lives to the defense of that flag have never fought for despotism or usurpation. Always and everywhere that flag has stood for liberty, freedom of conscience, freedom of speech, equality of opportunity, righteousness, civilization, religion. No incident mars its beauty or sullies its grandeur. It is spotless and immaculate, truly, the flag of free men, and the colors which richly deserve the respect and honor the whole world accords it. When that flag goes by, no citizen of this republic ought to hesitate in baring his head or saluting it. .When we pass beneath it, our hands ought to go up in a salute of respect and honor. The Soldier's Chances That war is profligate of human life is an axiom old as war itself. The very principle of war is destruction, not only of material things but also of that priceless thing called life. And yet while the mortality in the aggregate is large, the individual soldier has plenty of chances to emerge unscathed or not badly wounded. The United States government on findings of the mortality statistics of the allied armies has compiled the following facts : Twenty-nine chances of coming home to one chance of being, killed. Forty-nine chances of recovering from wounds to one chance of dying from them. One chance in 500 of losing a limb. Will live five years longer because of physical training, is freer from disease in the army than in civil life, and has better medical care at the front than at home. In other wars from 10 to 15 men died from disease to 1 from bullets ; in this war 1 man dies from disease to every 10 from bullets. For those of our fighting men who do not

escape scatheless, the Government under the soldier and sailor insurance law gives protection to the wounded and their dependents and to the families and dependents of those who make the supreme sacrifice for their country. Making Good the Fourth Practice what you preach, good works must prove your faith, make your religion effective in life, are all maxims that mean the same thing, namely, actualities and realities count more than idle boasts and vapid talk. We used to think of the Fourth of July as a day on which orators would blow off steam, boys explode firecrackers, and families hold picnics. It used to be a noisy day on which orators made enojigh noise to make us believe that we really had proved to the world that we loved liberty and dmocratic institutions. But in all these years, a sinister power was preparing to call our bluff and to see if we really could do more than celebrate the Fourth with a lot of noise and commotion. The last Fourth of July was'our answer to the challenge. We proved to the world that we were more than noisemakers and boasters. That day saw 100 ships 6f a tonnage approximating 500,000 tons take the water. It saw 2,010,000 soldiers and 160.400 officers in the American army. It saw France, England and Italy uniting in paying tribute to our flag. It saw the American people, forgetting the lands of their nativity, and uniting in a grand demonstration of patriotic determination. Across the Atlantic, our boys were engaged in a struggle with despotism, exposing themselves to death in order that liberty might be safeguarded and the world made a safe place for decent people. Truly, there was a marked difference between the Fourth of 1918 and of previous years. America had found itself and it did not require firecrackers and spellbinders to convince us of the reality.

Are They Ashamed ? from the Indianapolis News. THE ridiculous denial that comes from Germany in a semi-official statement, that the hospital ship Llandovery Castle was sunk by a submarine, may perhaps Indicate that there is a sort of consciousness that possibly the act was a crime. But this theory has not much foundation. For there have been no denials of the bombardments of hospitals and the murder of physicians and Red Cross nurses. The man who destroyed the hospital ship simply followed precedents. But we are told that the work of destruction was wrought by a British mine, and that "no one on board the steamer observed a U-boat or a torpedo." This is like the explanation of the sinking of the channel steamer Sussex. It was not, said the Germans, the Sussex that was sunk, but another boat in the same place. Nothing could be more ridiculous than to say that no one in the steamer saw a submarine, when several men from the tteamer were taken on board the submarine, heard the submarine's guns, , and saw the submarine endeavor to ram the boats carrying the survivors of the tragedy. The boat was there, the captain of the steamer saw it and talked with its commander. And the commander accused him of having on board eight American aviation officers. It is not necessary to argue the case. For the facts are beyond dispute. The only interesting thing about the German statement is that the men who issued it should have felt it necessary to deny that the steamer was sunk by a German submarine. However, this is one of those denials that make the act denied all the worse. The record stands, and it is a record of murder.

NOON WAR PRAYER FOR NATION URGED

By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. July . The senate today passed a resolution requesting the president to issue a proclama tlon calling on the American people to observe noon prayer during the war. It now goes to the house. Senator Phelan of California read a letter from Secretary Tumulty which said the president regarded the noon prayer as a "beautiful thought"

AN INFORMAL AFFAIR Paulina Barber, the adopted daugh

ter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Elasser, was

christened yesterday afternoon. The babe was born In this city in the Third ward, and Alderman Karl Kasch was among the guests wh- wlt"" he ceremony. Freeport (111.) Standard.

A tank lumbered up Pennsylvania avenue the other day. First tank seen in Washington since the old town went dry. Blanche Slocum, writing In the Chicago Tribune, pays: "In a police shanty at Lindau, on the Swiss border, I was stripped by a German woman after undergoing a polite but most vigorous cross-questioning by officers in field gray uniforms. Then, with a gasp of relief, I rushed aboard the little steamboat that was to carry me across Lake Conitance." It must have been a very warm day at Lindau.

DINNER 5 TOR IE S A rather jovial person sauntered into an Irishman's butcher shop and smiled to himself as he thought how he was going to have a little joke at the butcher's expense. When his turn came, he said: "Pat, can you supply me with a yard of pork?" Pat turned to his assistant without batting an eye and said: "Give this, gentleman three pig's feet and hurry up about it."

"Doctor, I can't pay you for this visit, so it ain't no use to send me a bill. I hope you won't take it hard," whined a patient. "Quite the contrary, my friend. If every man who has no intention of paying would be as considerate as you it would save me a lot of writing and about $50 a year in postage."

This is a warning that should be given to every citizen of Richmond and surrounding country. The above cartoon will give you some idea how some of the country's largest catalogue houses buy their goods. Are you spending your good money for "seconds?" "Seconds" is a term used to designate goods turned out by the manufacturers that do not come up to the standard of their product. They are a class of goods that the workmanship or material is very poor and defective. They cannot sell them to legitimate merchants, who very often have their trade name put on their goods; so they sell them to the catalogue house. A Richmond merchant wouldn't buy their goods, in fact he wouldn't want to sell them to you that is if he intended to hold your patronage and that is what every merchant in Richmond wants to do. When you buy merchandise in Richmond you can bank on it being first-class 'and just as represented by the merchant, if it proves unsatisfactory he will make it right or refund your money.
