GOLD STAR ON
SLEEVE MARK
OF SACRIFICE
President Approves Device
to Be Worn by Par
ents Of Slain.

A star Of gold upon q band Of black,
worn upon the left sleeve. has been
chosen as the oficial symbol Of tina
sacrifice upon Europe's battlefield Of
the son OF an American family. The
President and the Council OF National
Defense have given their approval tc
the wearing Of this insignia.
For a long time members Of the
women's Committee Of the Defensf
Council have thought that there shoul6
be some special emblem which might
be worn by the fathers and mothers
whose sons have given up their lives
in battle. The wearing Of the custo-
mary signs Of mourning was regarded
as unsuited 10 the purpose, Is ft would
be but a reminder Of loss and sorrow
and therefore would tend 70 deprez<
the people. What was wanted vas
some insignia which would be at once
a badge Of distinction 10 the w<arH
and a mute testimonial TO the cur
age and bravery OF one who had gons
to the supreme sacrifice.
II Is now announced that the band
Is TO be Of black. broadcloth preferred.

OF gold, OF gilded metsd. satin OF
cloth, or embroidered IN yellow silk
or gold thread. The stars may be
purchased at any army or navy equip
mert store, and should be 1916 Of an
inch IN size.
Wilson'S Letter.
President Wilson gave his approval
TO the wearing Of the emblem In q let
ter to DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, sf
the woman's committee. which was
as follows:
Thank you for your letter Of yes
terday. do entirely approve OF the
action taken by the women's commits
tee in executive session, namely that
q three-inch black band should be
worn upon which a gilt star may be
placed for each member Of the family
whose life is lost in the service, and
that the band shall be worn upon the
left arm. hope and believe that
thoughtful people everywhere viii ap-
prove of this action and hope that
you will be kind enough TO make the
suggestion OF the committee public
with the statement that Il has my
cordial endorsement"

the Federal Employees Union Is de-
stined to be an organization that
must be reckoned with in all mat
tiers pertaining 10 government work
ers.
Take as an example," continued
Mr.. Quinn, the food and rent prof.
teering in the District OF Columbia.
This matter was held up before the
public for some time, but no ef-
fort along definite lines were for
mulated and carried into effect, un-
til the Federal Employees Union un-
dertook to place the responsibility
and secure relief. That relief 10 to
De secured there is no doubt, as
those directing this move have pre-
pared themselves to devote time ana
energy until satisfactory adjust
ment is made.
We are not going 10 be content
with nnding the cause OF the evil
OF prohteeerlng. Once this is de-
termineo. We are then going to d.
rect our efforts towards bringing
to a reality whatever seems 10 he
necessary to make Washington a
city OF fair prices. Whether the
present almost intolerable condi-
tions relative to prices in Washing
ton is due 20 the inability OF the
government bureaus established for
the purpose OF control in Washing
ton, or whether these conditions are
due to the fact that Congress has
not granted sufficient power 10 these
institutions, will be determined IN
a very short time, and this knowl.

"Supportina the President"

While the colossal cost OF the war
In the United States (twice as high
as IL is anywhere else) attracts sober
thought the comment is made that
the Democratic administration never
could have carried on the war with
any considerable effect without the
support OF Republican leaders. It re-
quired and sought this support to get
through it's essential war legislation.
and then spurned IL when that sup
port desired TO help hold in its hands
a reasonable check on the expendi-
lures.
To wage war two things are es-
sentisl--men and money. When the
President called upon Congress for
the FIRST selective service law the
Democratic chairman Of the military
affairs committee in the House. Mr..
Dent, absolutely refused to give the
support asked by the man who was
both his party chief and the COM
mander in chief of the nation. The
loyal Republican minority leader. Mr.
Kahn OF California, stepped into the
breach and carried through the
House the schedule demanded by the
nations need. No single act OF dis
interested patriotism in the history
OF national legislation stands out in a
clearer light than this.
When the second great essential,
money without which the first essen
tial. men. is useless. was demanded,
the Democratic leaders evinced the
same weakness. hesitation and delay.
Claude kitchin, chairman OF the
committee on ways and means, abso-
lutely baked at the requests OF the
President and Of the secretary OF the
treasury. In this he was aided and
abetted In most extraordinary
manner by the second most powerful
man in the Democratic party. Champ
Clark. Speaker of the House. Mr..
Clark left the chair so that he might
conduct in person from the floor Of
the House the fight against the ad-
ministration's war revenue measure
Again the loyal Republicans. seeing
that this was no time to consider
party advantages. realizing that the
national honor in a great war was at
stake, arrayed themselves against the
Dcalcitrsnt Democrats and forced
