The consul reported that the rebel general Gorozave .with 240 well armed men, held the property, and had given 48 hours from Sunday morning, when the raid occurred. There were indications that state department officials were not exact ly sure just what sort of a situation they had to meet.

Thfi occasion was the installment of a local chapter of an international club It began with a parade and a band blaring dance music from a 1 truck. The mayor was there and the chief of police, and all the local dig nitaries. "Just trying to forget last week's unfortunate event," it was ex- 1 plained. There were representatives of Duquoin Carterville and neighbor-! t Reports reached Herrin today that pumpmen and firemen were being 1 warned to ieave their at sev-| UriLr an? W minSr e TS !

The pumpmen and maintenance employes at one mine, oowned by the P«d*>dy Coal C ompany, were discharged morn mg by the company officials, accord ing to Fox Hughe», sub district vwe, president.

Mayor A. T. Pace and Mr. Hughes received telegrams this morning ask ing whether they would guarantee safe conduct to the twelve wounded American Principles and Ideals '• V. |j J u It has been said that patriotism must be an intelligent patriotism ; Jjiere is much that passes for it that hot intelligent, and some that falls within Dr. Johnson's definition: "Pa triotism is the last refuge of a scoun drel." Nothing Is easier than to be patriotic when it is simply a question fit going with the crowd. But more than tills is required—disinterested service, a full discharge of the duties citizenship (even to the honest pay Ing of taxes), independence and cour aje In the eierclse of the right to vote, T ' ;e SJft ^ter In the Indianapolis Newa. But implies knowledge. The apostle . ^ which ^canse I also suffer ÙMm m never theîes8 I am not {or î know whom T have be Hf . ved and atn persuaded that he is t0 keep whIch j have corn j ( mitted unt0 him against that day." «j know whom i have believed." One who believes in America must ^ America, and the more one kaows her the more intense will be ' &Be > e faith and the more devoted one's ■( service. America, after all, Î8 nothing ) more than the people who call them ' mm non-union men still in the hospital here. Both replied that the surviv ox's of the massacre would be guaran teed protection and escorted out of the county when they were ready to leave. =sar selves Americans, for Ideas and ideals do not merely float In the air—they are incarnated in men and women, and by men and women they are ap plied to life £ Principles are of no value till they are acted on, and they must be acted on by people. The memories and traditions of which something has been said all attach to people, and the history of the coun try which is a part of it today was made by people. It Is into the labors oi very real people that we of the present time have entered. The prob lem, therefore, is one of keeping Americans trnë, net solely to the flag, bnt to the flag as the symbol of a great national life. Into that life It is nec essary to enter, in it men must share. The more complété their participation the greater will be their love of their country—and their love of it for what it really is, and of all that it stands for. A patriotism thus enlightened and Inapiréd will, as has been said, be close of kin to religion. £ Preserve Faith and Hope. > It Is not boasting to magnify one's blessings, or to dwell lovingly and pWhflly on the principles and ideals which are American. It is necessary indeed to do this, since there are some unhappy souls who see nothing good Sa America, and who are even yet look ing to Russia for inspiration and sal vation. Nothing can be done with or for such, but it may be possible to prevent others from being led astray through ignorance of what America truly la The American people have been ïîépervious to the incursions of Bolshevism, not because they are dull and stupid, but, rather because they are satisfied, and have reason to be. They know their America well enough to know that tliere is no country In the world In which opportunity is more freely offered, none which comes so Mrs. A. A.

On the nation's birthday, theref the American people should pie votion themselves to great American idea is, to m selfish service, and to ity to those great principles which U« at the basis of the nation's life. There is great need for education, since much of the failure to appreciate this coun try Is due to a pitiable ignorance of its history, its institutions, and of all that America has throughout Its life stood for. And this ignorance Is often the densest in the minds of those who think of themselves as reformers, and who Indeed are allowed to pose as such. Men need to be very sure that they know what liberty, as won by people of the Anglican race, Is, and what are its safeguards. It is partic ularly necessary that they should un derstand the right of minorities, and should realize that there Is such a thing as the despotism of majorities There are some things that a vote of the majority cannot be allowed ta sanction, as our constitution recog nizes. Perhaps this is one of the moat Important lessons to be learned, as tt seems to be the most difficult to bring home to men. The veay restraints dt which the uninformed so often com plain, have no other purpose than t» protect the helpless against the strong.
