THE COLOR GUARD
What it Means to Guard the Flag
is Told Best in Letter From
One Who Has Done It.

| Has 1t ever occurred to you, dear
mothers, wives and sweethearts who
are giving your boys to your country,
what it means to do what they are
all doing or are to do-guard the
colors?
| Yes, perhaps in a general way, as
we all do-an indefinite idea Is enter
tanned by US that we are fighting for
the colors, otherwise our flag, but of
what Importance it Is that these col
ors should be kept intact Is shown In
a clearer way in the letter received
ltby Mrs. Wizard OF Batavia, N. Y,
from her son. Mrs. Wizard is a daugh-
! ter of Mrs. E. l.. Washburn Of Bur-
lington, and to her the letter was
sent. 1t tells of the rare care of the
army and navy for the flag. When
we get this clearly in our minds our
patriotism will Offset our anxiety
about the men-lads, seemingly, some
of them.
Mr.. Wizard says: II carried the first
American flag to ever go through that
part of England"-Liverpool to Al.

France. was sleeping In a
stall lit was a cattle boaD with my
elbows and feet braced so that /
wouldn't skid when the boat rolled.

elbows and feet a little, and lust
then the boat gave a big roll and |
landed on top Of one of my color
guards. 1t nearly knocked him out
All Of this time l had the colors
with me, and, of course, two armed
guards were on either side of me
all of the time
Then, in another place, Mr.. Wizard
says: After landing at port in
France we had all of our equip
ment on our backs, and besides that
had to carry the flag They took
my rife and bayonet away from me
on the boat and gave me a revolver
instead"
They entrained for some part of
France, and being color bearer he
was given an apartment all to him

compartment held or was supposed
to hold eight people. Mr.. Wizard saws
that 'it might hold eight Frenchmen.
but it wouldn't hold that MANY

guarded, SO 1t is something to inspire

1t is quite some job.
Under the direction of Sergt- Maj

book is being compiled which is to
contain the individual photograph of
every man at Camp Dodge. The
book is to be in the nature of col.
iege annual when complete. The en-.
tire history Of the division is to be
published with the pictures.
The enor1nity of such task can
be realized when it is known that
Sergeant Chamberlain plans to have
when through more than $1,000 indi-
yidual pictures. obtained at an ex-
pense of some $4,000. The book
when published will have cost $780,
O0O it is estimated.
Not Commercial Proposition.
The publication Of the Camp Dodge
sannual' is not attempted for COM
mercial reasons. The copies will be
distributed to the soldiers at nom
inal price, much less than the cost OF
production. Each soldier will have
a picture OF himself to which he can
refer when his fighting days are more
or less history His company picture
and history will be contained in the
big volume.
The expense Of publication of the
book is to be covered by three patri-
officially inclined persons interested in
Camp DODGE. T. Meredith Of Des
Moines, Louis Hill OF St Paul, and
Mrs. Granville M. Dodge of Omaha,
the widow OF the late General Dodge,
for whom Camp Dodge was named.
In addition Sergeant Chamberlain
plans to solicit some advertising from
various firms. No display advertising
IS to be sold. but firms contributing
to the publication Of the book are to
receive m ention.

WASHINGTON, Mar. carrying
than last year, the largest Legislative
executive and judicial appropriation
bill in the nations history, was re
ported to the house today by the
appropriations committee.
The largest increases are found in
the war and treasury departments
and were made necessary, the report
says, by the greatly increased num-
+ Der Of war employees. For temporary
employees of the war department, So
116,o1s more than last year was ap-
propriated.
The war risk insurance bureau was
given $3,341, 900 and collecting the
income tax requires $2.742.00 more
than last year.
No general plan for increasing the
salaries of government EN- ployes is
carried in the bill, the plan of the
appropriations committee being to do
this in separate measure.
Liberty Bond Market.
WASHINGTON March with
Liberty bonds selling at 96 on the
stock exchange. stabilizing the Lib
erty market" and keeping bonds near
par, constitute serious financial ques-
lions, Secretary McAdoo said today
in a communication to the house
ways and means committee.
McAdoo estimates that about $780,
100000 worth of the bonds have been
re-sold of which about half have
been on the New York stock ex-
change.
Increasing interest rates is not the
remedy, the secretary stated.
ut is unwise to have to face in
creased rates on successive issues,
McAdoo said. 1.-THE British have tried
the system of setting aside one per-
cent of each issue to buy the bonds
offered in the open market. But that
has proven Ineffective"
Several bills to this effect are now
pending in congress.
'If the government should offer to
buy all bonds offered" the secretary
continues, at makes the loan nothing
more than demand obligation. 1
have not felt that the government
could afford to take any position like
that, If we set aside 100000, 900 to
buy back the bonds at par it would
be an invitation for all holders to sell
and the fund would soon be ex-
hausted"
McAdoo mentioned a. great educa-
tional campaign so that the people
would keep the bonds and not sell
them unless absolutely necessary.
The decline of the bonds, McAdoo
said, was due to a multiplicity of
causes.
81 think there are few disloyal
people who sell the bonds at dis
count in an effort to hurt the gov
ernment's credit, but this is small
percentage Of the sales. In the cam
patgn many persons were told they
could resell at any time Others,
particularly the small bond holders
have found 1t necessary to sell be-
cause they needed the money. Many
exchanged the bonds for
with the expectation Of
cashing them I'M
McAdoo said his proposed finance
corporation with it's power to buy and
resell government bonds in tmer-
