SEWARD, \LASKA, MONDAY, JI’LV X 1010*
In achieving its independence by force oi arms the
patriotism of the United States took root in soil that was
watered by the blood that causes love of country to flour
ish most luxuriantly. The country which cannot look
hack to scenes of turmoil and trial in its history has little
to inspire it with the enthusiasm without which true pat
riotism cannot intensely survive.
Fourth of July orators, so called, usually seem to lose
the greatest lessons of the American Revolution. 1 hey
can speak by the hour of stars anil stripes, gallant and
glorious ancestors, and they can wave their arms in mag
niticient gestures and—say really nothing but words.
How very seldom in popular gatherings one hears of the
effect which the Revolution had on the history of the
world, martially, socially, politically and otherwise. It
would be better far to have no speeches than those
speeches that soon cause the youthful nynd unconsciously
to turn in contempt from what ought to be the most
absorbing subject under heaven.

The flag of a nation should always be kept from
cheapening use. On the groat holiday, of course, it is the
emblem of the day and its general flourishing is proper,
but there is no earthly reason why showmen and others
should be permitted to constantly wave the nation's ensign
just to bring more shekels to their pockets. Just as likely
as not, the men who most flourish the flag are men who
are not Americans. It is so in all lands; The man who is
not a native seems to think an extra exhibition of patriot
ism necessary. There is no such loud patriot as the man
who feels down in liis heart it is necessary for some reason
or another to make more patriotic noise than the rest.
The National Holiday is the day set aside to com
memorate a great event. As things have turned out the

FR \Nk SLAVIN', OLD
AMERICAN KING FAVORITE
GOES TO BATTLE FRONT
By WILBUR S. FORREST
(United Press Stull Correspondent)
LONDON*. June l5.--(By M. >
How Frank Gotch. champion wrestler,
mixed wrestling with boxing against
Frank Slavin, the veteran ring man, in
the Yukon, is a story ju>t told heiv
for the lirst time.
Slavin, who has grown much greyer
than he appeared twenty years ago a>!
a ring favorite, is now in England
with the latest Canadian contingent.
His little mix with Gotch happened
years ago when Gotch, under the
name of Kennedy, was at Dawson in
the Yukon trying to fix up wrestling
matches when everybody wanted to
see prize tights.
Here today Slavin staged the story
with Jack Londish settings—grizzled;
miners looking through blue smoke
at the ring in Dawson’s main empori
um. Gotch, failing in wrestling
matches agreed to take Slavin on for
a ten round bout.
“In the first two rounds he came
at me strong,” related the old soldier
fighter. “I floored him two or three
times. Then in the third round he
dodged in and before 1 knew what
was happening, he gripped me around
the waist and threw me up in the
air.
“I laughed, the referee laughed and
•n fact we all laughed. The referee
said: ‘Do you claim a foul?’
“I said: ‘Well, if I don’t I suppose
I’ll never be able to come back into
the ring again,’ so. of course. 1 got
the decision. But the big American
farmer got more' money out of it than
he ever got for his wrestling bouts up
there/'
Slavin just now is delighting Brit
ish sporting writers with his remini
scences. They flock to the military
camp where Slav in’s regiment is
waiting for the call to Franco.
HOLLAND’S WAR BREAD
CAUSES INDIGESTION
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
THE HAGUE, June Uh—Holland's
war bread, which has been in use for
the last few weeks, will have to In*
changed. The Holland populace says
o, the physicians of Holland say so
and the government is expected to
agree.
Unlike the war bread of all other
European countries, the Holland
bread was made of flour which con
tained the husks of the wheat. Even
the sturdy Dutch stomach was unable
to endure the scrapings and scratch
iugs of tiie wheat husks and shortly
the physicians of Dutch cities and
towns had a rush of patients whose
digestive organs had gone wrong.
The doctors quickly traced the trouble
to the war bread.
