Briand, the great premier, once returning to Paris, heard that leagues had decided his downfall during his absence, and that his best friend, to whom he had entrusted his affairs while away had joined his foes. Seeing then things were going at the cabinet meeting, Briand r ed his papers in his bag, rose from the council table and announced he would hand hig resignation to the President. Then, one hand on the door, he turned to the friend who had failed him. “By the way, my d - r you tell me the value of pieces of silver at the exchange today?” col- how get | bill— | tax | local labor will get first chance, is bound to bring more men, more money, more fami- of the road, more Columbus, pleased by the. arrival , of | all the new money, found itself faced with the necessity of providing recreation facili- ties greater than had been dreamed of be- fore; rcfuse collections for the first quarter of 1941 went up 40 per cent, requiring ad- | ditional taxes; maintenance of roads went | up because of increased traffic and the cost cf maintenance was increased by the short- | age of workmen; the number of service cuts as, water and sewers went up because | of new home construction, while more police to cope with in- creased traffic and the protection required by a greater population, Little Starke in north Florida had the same problem on a greater scale, because it is not so large as Columbus and its camp is larger.

Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen Highest last 24 hours _ NON-BELLIGERENT ALLY TO CONTROL THE SEAS THE SITUATION TODAY BIG GUNS DECISIVE BATTLESHIP STRENGTH Since the passage of the Lend-+ ease Bill, the United States has been a non-belligerent ally of the British Empire, pledged to the defeat of the Axis powers, but with the scope of our assistance limited by our own decision. We have promised to provide, in unlimited quantities, the sup- plies that the British may re- to defeat Hitler. We have not committed ourselves to take any offensive but since the President's ie chat, it is crystal clear e will be used, if neces- rantee the delivery nd to protect this from the evil which if Hitler, or the Axis tres” control of the would e ! group, The importance which is placed » control of the seas is ned by the belief that Hit- ill lose the war if he fails to acauire control of the seas. Great Britain Toge ther, and States can dominate; :, Pacific and Indian They control two-thirds | |of the world’s industrial machin- ery and three-quarters of world’s mineral resources. trolling the s, they can ex- change these resources on their own terms. Moreover, they will have access to the resources of the Con- i} Latin America, as well. Without sea control, the United States and Great Britain will have no independent world com- merce, with the result that they would sink to the status of sec- ondary powers, with incalculable effect upon the standard of liv- ing of their people. * Old Glory, proud symbol of our coun- | try, will celebrate its 164th anniversary on | June 14, the date of its official adoption in 1777. Like the British Empire, which takes pride in the fact that the sun never sets on its flag, we Americans may also claim that in some part of the world our National Flag is always floating in the breeze. We may have fewer far-flung posses- | sions than some of the older nations, yet Old Glory is known in every clime and_ place. | For example, it is the custom of the U. S. Marines to raise our flag every morning at 8 o'clock. It remains flying until sunset. Three hours after the Marines at naval stations along our eastern seaboard have raised the flag, their comrades at other posts along the west coast salute the colors as they are hauled briskly to the top of the flagstaff. About two and a half hours later the ceremony is repeated in the Hawaiian Is- | lands. More than five hours, will) have elapsed before the flag is raised by the sea soldiers in the Philippines.” Af virtually the same hour, the Marines hoist the flag in China, at Peiping, Tientsin or Shanghai. Several hours later the westward march of daylight catches the fluttering folds of the Star-Spangled Banner flying over American Consulates and Embassies in Europe, and soon after the sun has passed its zenith in the Old World it is again flung to the breeze on the Atlantic seaboard. Thus the Stars and Stripes, beloved standard of a free nation, makes its appear- ance in the early morning hours and _ re- mains flying until the sun disappears over the horizon.
