The Sea By mail out of « The per mont Ry cart ttle Star ol On the sixth of April, 1917, the United States America threw the weight of its might into the scales of War against the enemies of liberty and humanity. It was on the sixth of April that congress declared ‘a state of war existing, and it was then that the president proclaimed war against Germany. In the year that followed no nation on earth, now nor dm all the times past, put forward greater or more sus tained effort to place its full strength upon the battle- ; Even as our young men went forth to fight, so did Our older men and our women strive and serve to the same The first year of the war came and went. On the Sixth day of April, 1918, this whole nation cele- the day as a DAY OF DAYS. To the people of the United States the Sixth of April meant much. And from that day they took on a larger share of the burdens Of war. This they carried without a complaint until the power of the Hun broke in defeat and the hordes of autoc Facy retreated beyond the Rhine. But November eleventh, the day of world peace, could “not, and should not obliterate the Sixth of April from the Minds and hearts of Americans! This year the Sixth of April comes on Sunday. The ‘Boise and booming of last year’s celebrations doubtless will way to more quiet celebrating—and more thoughtful. ly our preachers will see in Liberty Day, a subject for on, talk or prayer—prayer that liberty may never in be so threatened as it was by the imperial autocracy of Germany. Let us hang out the family’s Stars and Stripes, that m of liberty and freedom which we displayed so uni- yersally over this land during the war, and which our sons ‘Garried across No Man’s Land. Let us not forget that the as long as the love of liberty clings to the Day rightly ranks side by side with Peace S Liberty Day not come to our American calen- ‘our Peace Day would never have arrived. Therefore, these gladsome days of peace let us give thanks for Sixth of April. Thanks to Clothes Inventor .

A job like this at the best is not very good. How- ever, at such @ time as this there are hundreds of men who would certainly be glad to get a chance at it Yet the people in charge of such buildings do not seem overly anxious to help the boys who fought for their interests and property and honor, and it seems to me the only way to get at them would be thru a real American newspaper who says what it thinks, and none | can do this as well as The Seattle Star. I daresay that if the number of women itn auch places were counted it would amount to something much more than a trifle, and I sincerely believe that ® boost thru your paper on this matter would cer. tainly be appreciated by “the boys.” LO.
