FOR oREEKs AND ALI.

In New York there is a society of Greeks known as the Hellenic Liberal Association. members of which re- gently sent to NJ. vehizelos, head of the Greek revolutionary government, resolutions repudiating the anti-con- stituttonal and anti-Ally King ''Tino.' In response to these resolutions tho great statesman sent to the New York Greeks 8 message to tho effect that the American Flag, tho Sear Spangled Banner, has been made by the entrance Of this country into tho war, "a symbol of the highest ideals of mankind and a nag which every man has supreme obligation to serve.'
 Therein is contained advice that is not only useful to the mon In sym pathy with the Greek revolutionary government bat which; may be used to good advantage by. members of other races dsRxaltn6 IT America. It Is a challenge to American citizens of foreign birth to enlist under "a naS which every man has g supreme obli- gation to serve." It shows the way. The American army offers opportuni- ties for men of all nationahties to fight for the cause of democracy. Especially Is this so when applied to those who are desirous of getting back to their old countries and enlist ing in the armies battling against the common enemy of mankind.
 Constitutional free government is waging a war for supremacy in Greece. Veniselos, the noblest of all Greeks In. this day and generation. is doing all he can to bring about con- summation so devoutly wished for by all his countrymen at home and abroad. When he intimates that Greeks in America should enlist volnntaraly, in the United States Army he then and there opens to their vision an avenue at tho end of which lies fedehptton for thsir country. The same is true for men of many other nationalities resident in America.

SINKING HOSPITAL SHIPS.

Branded as the ''culmination of savagery'' by the British Admiralty. the sinking of hospital ships by Ger man submarines. with the attendant loss of wounded soldiers and women nurses, is made the source of a strong protest to the Imperial Government by the International Committee of the Red Cross.
 ''In torpedoing hospital ships" says the Red Cross. ''combatants are not attacked. but defenseless persons. wounded. who have been mutilated and paralyzed by shell lire, women who have been dsvoting themselves to works of mercy and charity. mon whose only weapons are such, as do not take the enemy's life. but ;help to preserve it and to alleviat4 his suf- ferings."
 Under rulings of the Hague Con- ivention submarine commander has the right to nake inspection of any ! hospital shap he suspects is being partly used tor military gRurposes. The l Red cross committee points this out
 to the Imperial German Gdvsfnment l but adds thxt there cans4s no excuse
 for the torpedoing af asfiospital ship doing absolute hospital .sereics. No,
 can there be an excuse for such
 wanton destruction of human life

HEALTH COMMANDMENTS.
Ten Rules for Keeping Babies We'll
 Made by Milk Station.

Ten commandments for keeping your baby we'll:
 l. Healthy parents usually mean healthy babies. A strong, we'll de- veloped baby Is less likely to become sick than poor. weak, thin one. A strong we'll mother means good breast milk.
 ?. Do everything in your power to nurse your. baby during the first year. Always keep this in mind. Never wean a baby without the doctors ad- vice. A nursing baby has a far better chance of keeping we'll than a bottle baby. Nature intended that your baby should be given breast milk.
 3. Feed your baby regularly, whether by nursing or by bottle. Don't feed 1t every time it cries. Babies cry for other reasons besides being hungry-such as pain, cold feet. illness. Feed according to the doc- tors orders. Irregular feeding causes vomiting. collie. indigestion, loss of
 weight, restlessness and sleeplessness,
 all this means a sick baby. 1. Be clean yourself and keep your
 baby so. Teach your neighbors to be clean. The health of you and your family depend upon your surround ings. cleanliness means: clean milk bottles. clean clothing, clean utensils in preparing your baby's milk, clean hands.
 5. Give your baby plenty of fresh air and sunshine. Babies need both,
 and . great deal of them. Sunlight
 and air kill the germs. Don't be afraid of the night air in dry weather. Have the windows screened. Kill the flies,
 6. Make your baby comfortable, An uncomf ortable baby is restless and cross. A very young baby needs | much sleep. Let the baby have it's
 own bed. Keep 1t quiet, Give it plenty of water. Babies often cry be- cause they are thirsty. r, 2. Never give any medicine unless the doctor advises. Do not listen to your neighbor's advice. Do not give patent medicines or soothing syrups. 1 Usually t1aese contain opium and may
 make your baby fall asleep and never l awaken.
 l. 8. Never delay to send for a doc
 tor If your baby is i'll. Delay in sum-
 mer is especially dangerous Delay 1 may mean death.
 > g. Your neighbors may mean well 1 but they do not know as well as the
 doctor: what may help your neigh l bor's baby may make your baby sick. Doctors and nurses are the ones to l consult. 1 10. Dent forget to bring your l ba abies. to the milk station. Miss 1 O'Dell. the nurse, is always willing to
 help you. This is what the milk ] station is for.
 l The milk station opens today in the 1 new rooms of the Boys club building, 1 corner of East Main and Center | streets. Miss ODell will be at the 1 station daily for one week. including l Wednesday and Friday evenings from 2 to 9 and will be only to glad to show the rooms and to receive visitors.
