For 1925 Is the sesqulcentennlal of the beginning of the Revolution and 10-6 is the sesquieenteimial of the Declaration of Independence. Moreover, it seems likely that Independence day In part this year take on and more fully in 192(-w- lll an added importance from a prac tical viewpoint by association with It of Defense day, which is now struggling for recognition as a national annual event with a fixed date. It was held for the first time September 12, the anniversary of the Cattle of St. Mihiel, In which the A. E. F. won a great offensive in the World war. Defense day Is In effect a "muster" and trying-ou- t of the various military agencies for national defense. If It Is approved by the people, theoretically Independence day Is a fitting date for it, for the Fourth of July was the day of local muster all over the country In early times. Doubtless Independence day Vf 1926 will be the more exciting, for there Is to be a nation-wid- e celebration under the auspices of the "Sesqulcentennlal Commission of Independence of the United States" to consist of nineteen members. The President and vice president and the speaker of members. The President the house are appoints eight members, the vice president four senators and the speaker four representatives. It is the duty of the commission to promulgate to the American people an address and to prepare plana with the for a celebration program In officers of all state, city, civic and patriotic committees appointed fcr the occasion, even asking International participation. If It sees fit. Moreover, Philadelphia is to have a celebration of its own In the form of an exposition to open June 1 and last until the close of the year. It Is a part of the plan to demonstrate In a graphic manner the progress made In the United States in the last half century since Philadelphia's famous centennial exposition. Other nations are expected to take part. The main purpose back of the display is to encourage more intimate commercial relationships, "and so hasten the coming of universal peace." The exposition is to occupy the entire 200 acres of League Island park in South Philadelphia and 400 additional acres adjoining. The city has provided for the building In the park of a stadium which will have a seating capacity of more than 100,000. Nine industrial buildings are planned, as well as structures to be erected by scientific and other associations. It should be a good show, for the United States has advanced tremendously In a thousand ways since 1876. President Coolidge has recommended to congress fnvorable consideration of a request by Mayor Kendrlck of Philadelphia, that the federal government psrticlpate In this sesqulcentennlal celebration. Mayor Kendrlck asked for the designation of the secretaries of states and commerce to represent the national government at the exposition; the appointment of an advisory commission of 108 members composed of two representatives of each state and territory; authorl-tatlo- n of the coining of WK),000 $1.50 special gold pieces; l.oou.000 50 cent silver pieces, and a new one dollar bill depleting the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Nevertheless, 1925 as a Fourth of July year has all sorts of thrills for the good American. First on the list wns the celebration of the Lexington and Concord fights of April 19. P.oston and its environs made much of it. Vice President Dawes and General Pershing were central figures. Genof William eral Dawes Is the Dawes, Jr., who shared with Paul ltevere the glory of the "Midnight Klde." One rode one way and the other another, spreading the alarm and meeting ot Lexington to go together to Concord. It was an Inspiring sight when the Dawes of 11)25 and the Dnwes of 1775 met and exchanged greetings. The stirring scenes of one hundred and there were patri. fifty yenrs ago were otic addresses gnlore on historic spota and the radio carried it all to the people. Then there were these one hundred and flftlt-tl- i anniversaries to attract attention: May 10, the capture of Tlconderoga by Allen and Arnold; May 20. the Mecklenburg Declaration at Charlotte, N. C. ; June 1, the beginning of Kentucky under Daniel P.oone; June 17, Hunker Hill. It was on July 3 thnt Oen. Oeorge Washington took command of the Continental armies at Cambridge, Mass., as commander In chief by virtue of appointment of congress; the anniversary is to be made much of by Boston. n M JK?r YZZRfZ AFZ&R ISO 7 S7 83 8 42 45 47 51 ' 54 67 60 H2 0!i UN 70 Tl 7!fc 7.1 JUL 1a i v4 )d 74 7 81 b2 1 2 In addition, the American Farm Bureau federation, through its 45 state federations and 1,800 county farm bureaus, has planned for the nation "an Fourth of July, with a big chicken dinner, flags, bands and speeches." Wrote President Coolidge In a letter to O. E. Bradfute, president of the American Farm Bureau federation : "It was with great satisfaction that I learned of the plans of the farm bureau to take the lead in stimulating an organized, nation-wid- e celebration on the Fourth of July. The gathering together of our farmers and our townspeople In these country-wid- e celebrations will give a new significance to the day. Probably no activity is of more importance than the encouragement and development or our community life. In the early days in this country the church was the center of community life. Time and conditions have changed. We are In need of social, moral and spiritual as well as economic community action. I truly think these Fourth of July celebrations will play an important part In the encouragement of such community spirit." President Bradfute has this to say regarding the farmers' celebration : It Is particularly flttlna- - that American farmers should take the lead through their own organization In stimulating a great national, uniform celebration on the Fourth of July, for It was Just 150 years ago that a group of American farmers gathered at Concord bridge In Massachusetts and flred the first shot In the great battle for American Independence. From that day to this the American farmer has ever been the bulwark of our national Independence. More than one million farm families are enrolled as members of county farm bureaus. And we are not limiting this celebration to farmers. We are asking each county farm bureau to Invite the and participation of every Individual and every organization within the And the national county. organization la asking for the amlntance and of many national organizations. As to the union of Independence day and Defense day, the original proposition was to have Armistice day made Defense day. When the army staff recommended In May that Defense day and Armistice day be combined. President Coolidge was found to be opposed to the plan. Armistice day, It was declared at the White House by a spokesman for the President, was one that should be dedicated above all else to consideration of peace. Being the anniversary of the day on which hostilities ceased In the most destructive war the world has ever known. Armistice day, President Coolidge thinks, should not be linked with official action of any kind suggestive of war. The President, It was walled by bis spokesman, had Just appealed forcibly to the nations of Europe to give a sincere demonstration of a will to peace and to upbuild their war-torresources. He has repeatedly, since assuming charge of the destinies of the United States, proclaimed this government to be most covetous of world peace and anxious that America take the lead In pointing the way to peace and the material prosperity which accompanies It This bplng so, the prospect of America choosing Armistice day for a demonstration of its military arm is regarded by Mr. Coolidge as most Inconsistent with his policy of International relations. Defense day last year was held In September In the heat of the national political campaign, and quite a furore was raised concerning It by pacifist organizations at the time. The President was not opposed to taking stock of the nation military resources as was done on that occasion In with the states. It was said by the spokes-'maand he probably will not oppose an annual inventory of that kind if it is not proposed to com-bi- It with Armistice day. Another objection to the plan is the fact that It rails for voluntary action of the peoi'1 in re sponding to the muster call and the further fact that there Is no provision In the law for the Defense day program at any time. If such' a military stock-takinof resources provided under the national defense act Is to be undertaken annually. President Coolidge thinks congress should be consulted and should approve It by providing appropriate legislation. Another thing that bothers the President Is that the proposed program necessitates the expenditure of considerable money by the government and imposes upon the states a great direct expense, not to mention the Indirect cost Involved through the Interruption of business that would be entailed In carrying out the proposal. The President does not want to appear as in any way discouraging adequate preparedness. He U an earnest advocate of that, but he Is just as earnest In his advocacy of government economy. The President would have the governors of states consulted as to their wishes in the matter. of course, and are reThe states must lied upon by the War department to do their share In making Defense day a success. The result was that the President expressed a preference for July 4 as the day on which the proposed national defense test could be most appropriately held. Then the question arose in the War department whether plans could be reconstructed in time to utilize July 4 this year. Many olncers connected with the test last September felt that It would be better to abandon the plana this year rather than attempt to arrange the test In the short time available. They believed that n't her than risk a failure, It would be preferable to postpone the holding of a defense test until g 5 6 e 7 8 a 10 11 (Copyright, 1925.) 19 A plant or the medicine made from Horizontal.

National Guard, reservists and the citizens' military training camps would be engaged In July In their regular training programs, and these would be seriously Interfered with if a defense test wae held at that time. To assure an organized and successful demonstration, it Is said to be vital that the personnel of these four branches be In their respective home communities at the time the with plans are made, so that they can the national leaders In charge. So at this writing It seems Impossible to say Just what figure the Defense day test will cut in the Independence day celebration. It was quite a large performance last year, according to War department reports. These show that there were and that more than C..W local demonstrations, 10,000,000 people participated in one way or another. The regular army turned out 02,581 officers and men, the National Guard 107,633, and the organized reserves 59,108. Fourth of July orators this year In search of a theme have a wide choice. They might do worse than to spenk of some of the changes that 150 Banner of years have made. The 1925 as compared with the Bunker Hill flag Is n gorgeous theme, suggestive of the political progress of the nation. In 1775 we had nothing but little privateers under sail to fight our battles oi sea. Today we have a proud navy, of which the California is a fine sample. The Increase in population and material wealth Is suggested by the picture showing the little book of the second census as compared with the big volumes of the fourteenth. When Oen. George Washington took command of the Continental armies July 3 at Cambridge a fife and drum corps furnished the martial music. By way of contrast see the army tend of today with the New Tork of 1025 looming high In the background! All these suggest the growth of the United States of America from the thirteen colonies of 1775 to the wealthiest and most powerful nation of earth the one nation dedicated to liberty, eqnal rights and the parseif of happiness. n n. 1 1 F FcJ LL' A as much money as I could spend million dolls I'd buy, I s'pose 'twould be Hard to take care of them all.
