make of this the Flag City" of the
whole northwest. Patriotic citizens
have the plan well in hand and have
already secured a goodly list of names
of men who agree to run up "Olc
Glory" from poles 60 to 80 feet high
and keep the flag floating while the
present conditions continue.
Up to noon today the following had
signed the agreement: B. T. Byrns

The plan when broached this morn
ing met with instant favor. Practical
ly every man to whom it was suggest
ed fell in with enthusiasm and before
night the list will be largely increas-

1t is asserted that good poles from
60 to 80 feet, stripped and ready for

The size and texture of the flag is to
be left wholly to the individual cit

CHANCE FOR CADET

There is a vacant cadetship
in the United States auxiliary
cruiser service through the de-
cision of the student who Sc
cured the appointment not to

good chances of promotion. 1t

in this district since the ori-
ginal appointment was secured
from here, and it will be nee
essary for the. accepted substi-
tute to leave for New York next
week. Applicants should be at

have completed at least high
school education. Applicants
can address postoffice Box 344,

APPEAL FOR MARINES

Washington d. c., April 3.
The United States marine
> corps needs Immediately four
thousand men. Will you help us
recruit them? Many persons in
the interior know nothing what
ever of the duties of the U. S.
marines, what they do, how they
dress, etc. The marine corps
has separate recruiting stations
and you can assist greatly by
giving this fact prominence in
your columns Marine corps
service in times of peace is very
attractive: in time of war it is
doubly so to red-blodded men of
action. Marines are always
called first when war is immi-
nent and they have shown the
way to fighting men since 1898.
AS a patriotic American won't
you help to get these four thou
sand men needed to, fill the
ranks of the soldiers of the sea?
Our recruiting station in your
city is at the postoffice building.

Gains in the West

Along a six-mile front southeast
and South of st. Quentin the French
have made another notable gain over
the Germans, while northwest of the
town the British have captured the
village of Metz-en-Couture and there
by gained an additional step in the
plan to push forward on the north
ern flank of st. Quentin.
The French gain was a dominating
position running from Grugies, about
two miles south of st. Quentin,
through Urvillers to Moy, which lies
in the valley of the Disc, six miles
southeast of ST. Quentin. The fight
ing took place during violent snow
squalls, and the French were success
full along the entire line. All three
villages were taken by the French
troops and in addition they captured
three lines of trenches near the Folie
farm, in the same sector, from which
the Germans are declared to have fled
in disorder, leaving behind wounded,
three howitzers and much other war
material.

LAW HELD VALID
Highest Judicial Tribunal Passes
on Eight Hour Law

In an epochal decision holding
congress to be clothed with any
aud all power necessary to keep
open the channels of interstate
commerce, the supreme court, last
Monday, deciding five to four,
sustained the Adamson law as con-
stitutional and enforceable in every
feature.
The immediate effect of the de-
cision will be to fix a permanent
eight-hour basic day in computing
wage scales on interstate railroads,
for which nationwide strike
twice has been threatened, and to
give, effective from January /,
this year, increase in wages to
trainmen of about IS per cent at a
cost to the railroads estimated at
from $40, 100000 to $4,000, 900 a
year.
The court, through Chief JUS
tice White, declared both carriers
and their employees, engaged in a
business charged with a public in
serest, subject to the right of con-
gress to compulsorily arbitrate a
dispute affecting the operation of
that business.
In delivering the opinion the
chief justice departed from
bis written text to emphasize
the position of men operating
trains in time of national emer-
gency by comparing them to sol
3iers facing the enemy.
''The public interest begets a
public right of regulation to the
full extent necessary to secure and
protect it, said the opinion, ad-
ding that in the emergency of
threatened destructive suspension
of national transportation congress
acted within its powers in provid-
lng a wage standard and other
means necessary to protect the
public interests.

Nc. s ST. L. Railway Tenders Use
of Right-Of-Way for Gardens

The Nashville, Chattanooga &

to reduce the high cost of living

ployes, rendered them the use
of its right-of-way, for cultiya-
ton. 1t is believed that this ac-
ton on the part of the road will
enable hundreds of its employesto
raise a garden this year who might
otherwise be prevented.
The fact that in many places the
right-of-way was susceptible of
cultivation, and that many of the
section forces would be glad to
avail themselves of the opportun-
ity, was brought to the attention
of the MANAGEMENT recently and
orders were at once issued that the
men should be accorded the privi-
lege of the use of such lands.
There are $50 sections on the
system, and during the spring and
summer seasons each section is
looked after by a force of from
ten to twelve men. The use of the
right-of-way for gardens would
enable several hundred families to
have vegetables during the sum-
mer and, in many instances, the
gardens along the right-of-way
will be the only reliance these
forces will have for garden truck.

ton, and along some stretches of
