A STAR FOR EVERY STATE

Did you know that every star in our
American flag has its own Individual
and particular state which it represents
and that its placement on the square of
blue is carefully and definitely rcgIlat-
ed by law and executive order?
In 1912. on October 26, The last OK
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made and it provided for the specific
arrangement of the stars. They were
to be arranged IN six horizontal rows of
eight stars each. Starting in the upper
lefthand corner ard placing each row
from left to right, the star correspond
ing to each state is named in the order
of the states ratification of the Con
stitution.
Thus Star No /, in the upper left
hand corner, is for Delaware. Star
No. AZ, in the lower righthand corner,
is for Arizona.
The following list will show you at a
glance exactly which star is yours:
First Row-No. l, Delaware; 2, Pen
nsylvania; 3, New Jersey; 4. Georgia;
5, Connecticut; 6, Massachusetts; Z,

shire; 10. Virginia; II. New York; r.
North Carolina; 10, Rhode Island; IA,

MUST WE BE CONTROLLED?

We are naturally an extrayagan
people. So long as we can see, even
though it be in the future. the means to
pay we keep our expenditures on the
highest level of our desires.
That has not been altogether an evil
in normal times. 1t has driven the
American proylder to the limit to keep
pace with his expenditures and those of
is family, but it has made him inven-
i've. it has made him daring, it has
made him utilize every ounce of energy
and every grain of ingenuity. 1t has
made for swift enterprise, for daring
and it has undoubtedly accomplished
results which could not have been
achieved had we been more conser-
vative.
But we are now at war and condi-
tons are entirely changed. We have got
to learn-even at the cost of blood and
tears-that extravaganza at such a
time cannot be permitted. 1t is not
a question of providing the money.
1t is question Of whether we can af-
ford it. 1t is entirely a question of
conserving. the supplies. Though you
possess the money to pay for all the
food in your localtmarket you have no
right to consume nor even to buy one
ounce more than you actually need.
Though the soaring cost of gasoline
means nothing to your pocket it is
criminal for you to use a gallon more
than your reasonable,necessities require.
The fortune of Rockefeller does not
justify self indulgence now. Money is
of value only as it can help win the war.
Otherwise, for our present purposes, it
means nothing more than the means
for securing livelihood. At least,
that is what it should mean.
The great fundamental fact is that
the supplies required to keep the world
going least that part of the world
in which we are interested-Jo~ not

the absolute requirements. We are

BRING OUT NEW CRISIS
Germany Says Raiders Captives Are
Prisoners of War

Washington, Jan. 20.-The German
admiralty statement that the neutral
subjects in the crews of the vessels
captured by the German raider in the
South Atlantic have been removed
as prisoners of war" will raise a com
plicated quest, if any Americans are
among them
The whole question turns on wheth-
er an armed merchant ship is a war
vessel and the gulf between this coun-
try and Germany on that question is
still unbridged. OF coudse, Americans
on such ships could be considered as
prisoners of war only if the vessels
were considered as war vessels.
No indication has been received
that any of the vessels sunk by the
raider were other than defensively
armed. The state department has
neld turnout that a vessel cannot be
cIassed as a warship unless it is under
naval orders and the naval flag and
manned by naval creks.
The German admiralty statement
made just at this time when the arm
ed ship issue between the two coun-
tries is becoming more complicated
was taken to foreshadow a more pro-
nounced attitude as to the question on
Germany's part.

mental and essential as condition

spoken now not afterwards when it
may be too late.
Must Include United States.
mo covenant of cooperative peace
that does not include the peoples of
the new world can suffice to keep the
future safe against war and yet there
is only one sort of peace the peoples
of America could join in guaranteeing.
THE elements of the peace must
be elements that engage the conf
dence and satisfy the principles of the
American governments, elements con-
sistent with their political faith and
the practical convictions which the
peoples of America have once for all
embraced and undertaken to defend.
Il do not mean to say that any
government would throw any obstruc-
ton in the way of any terms of peace
the governments now at war might
agree upon, or seek to upset them
when made, whatever they might be.
only take it for granted that mere
terms of peace between the beIliger-
ents will not satisfy even the bellig-
erents themselves. Mere agreements
may not make peacA sure. 1t will be
absolutely necessary that a force be
created as a guarantee of the per-
manency OIL he settlement so much
greater than the force of any nation
now engaged or any alliance hitherto
framed or projected, that no nation,
no probable combination of nations,
could face or Withstand it. If the
peace presently to be made is to en-
dure. it must be a peace made secure
by the organized major force of man
kind. The terms of the immediate
peace agreement will determine
whether there is a peace with such
guarantee, can be secured. The ques-
ton upon which the whole future
peace and policy of the world depends
| is this:
What Is Aim of Present War?
| rs the present war a struggle for a
just and secure peace or only for a
new balance of power? Who will
guarantee, who can guarantee, the
stable equilibrium of the new ar
engagements? Only a tranquil Europe
can be a stable Europe. There must
be, not a balance of power, but a COM
munity of power: not organized rival
ries. but an organized common peace.

what the people of the United States
would wish me to say.
May l not add that I hope and be-
lieve that l am, in effect, speaking
for liberals and friends of humanity
in every nation and of every program
of liberty? 1 would fain believe that

mankind everywhere who have, as
yet, had no place or opportunity to
speak their real hearts out concerning
the death and ruin they see to have
come already upon the persons and
the homes they hold most dear.
That United States May Join.
And in holding out the expectation
that the people and government of the
United States will join the other civil
lied nations of the world in guaran-
teeing the permanency of peace upon
such terms as l have named, I speak
with the greater holiness and conf

who can think that there is in this
promise no breach in either our tradi-
ton or our policy as a nation but a
fulfillment rather of all that we have
profeSSed or Striven for
