This is the picture / saw last Janu-
airy in France,-and you have merci-
fully changed it! Color enough there
was-above, the eternal blue; in the
background, fields of living green,
which the German shells could not
prevent from creeping back; in the
middle foreground, long village
street so battered and burned that
1t was merely canyon of cream-col-
ored ruins. In front of one little
broken house were four figures in
black-an old woman, poking among
the fallen stones In a vain search for
something that could be used; a
younger woman, seated on what had
once been doorstep, with her face
hidden in her arms; and little boy
and girl, who stared, half frightened,
half curious, at the desolation about
them. The little boy held in his thin
hand Red Cross flag All four were
pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies
of the children showed none of the
round curves that make the beauty Of
. child.
This Is their history: When the
war broke out, Nine. Pellier, her
mother and her four younger children
were visiting her husbands mother in
the north of France. Her husband
and two elder sons were at home in
Lorraine taking care of the summer
crops. Then the war! The mother
in-law of Nine. Pellier was i'll and
could not be left. Her old mother
was afraid to travel to Lorraine with
the full care of the four children. Be
fore they could all start together the
Germans invaded. Bad news is allow
ed to come into northern France, and
so as the months passed Nine. Pellier
learned that her village home had been
bombarded and that her husband and
two sons had been killed. Except for
the Belgian Relief Commission, which
operates In northern France also, she
and her little ones would have starved
outright At the best they were I'M
dernourished. Then the great push
began, and hopes for France grew
high. But as the French soldiers adj
vanced they had to lombard the north
ern towns. Nine Pellier begged the
Germans to let her go away with her
children-even into Germany. This
was refused. She tried to seek safety
in some cellar whenever there was a
bombardment. Nevertheless a shell
killed two Of her children.
Found Her Home Gone.
Home gone; husband gone; brave
soldier sons gone; little, tender boys
torn into shreds That woman's face
would have shown you what she had
suffered-her face against the batter
ed ruins the Germans had made. At
last she and her mother and her two
remaining children were repatriated.
They knew the infinite relief of cross

FORCE RAISING OF NEW FLAGS
Authorities Will Be Asked to Re
place Prayed Banners.

A condition with respect to the
display of flags, and one no doubt
exists to considerable extent
throughout the state, if not in other
states, is causing considerable agi-
tation in Council Bluffs and as ap-
peals of the patriotic societies have
gone ,unheeded there is talk of asking
the city council to draft an ordinance
giving the city authorities power to
act.
At the beginning of the war there
was a generous display of flags upon
residences, business blocks and many
flag poles were erected by private
citizens and societies. Now the most
of these flags have become frayed and
torn and weather-beaten, and are
looked upon by many as a dis
grace to the people and conn. unity
and various efforts have been made
to arouse the people to the point OF
replacing the WORKOUT emblems, but
with little success.
Some large flags are seen flying
that are literally in strips and some
have been worn in the winds and
SHOWS of the winter until only the
stars remain, presenting sight
that has created revulsion of feel
ing among the leaders of the pa
triotic societies who have sought to
have the flags removed.
1t has even been proposed to in
woke the aid of the war department
if possible, if it Is found that the
city council is without authority mol
can be given authority to act in the
matter.
