WHERE ARE The FLAGS?
No Lack Of Patriotism, But II Does
Seem That the "Banners Should
BE Kept to the Breezes.'

AT the beginning Of the war the
good people Of this city were request
ed to make a patriotic display OF oid
Glory. and the response was very graf
living, in fact almost universal.
For some time the enthusiasm con-
tinued away above fever beat, the
profuse display of flags being COM
mented on by travelling men In their
visits here as the largest they mad
seen of any town its size visited by
them.
But one by one they disappeared
and now only few remain, and most
of the few are soiled and weather
worn.
II does not necessarily imply a
lack of patriotism upon the part Oh
those whose homes and places OF
business are not decorated with the
colors. but it does seem as If they
should make a more generous display
than is now done.
Let's have another flag day for ouI
beloved and beautiful city and make
such big display that the boys VINO
will leave shortly will know that theii
home town showed them the honor O.
making a sure enough display OF oul
national colors.
Let every flagstaff on the large
buildings that are carrying no nag
have as large and bright one as cal
he gotten, and at all the private home
hang out their colors and rekindl
that enthusiasm that was so con
spicuous at the outbreak of hostilities
Is there anything prettier or NOR
inspiring than the United States nag
Then let's all see to it that, even
we cannot buy bonds or war stamp
. or have no boy to send, our hags al
mt out to encourage those who ca
. do these things, in order that the
: NAV feel that they should do more
: Hang out Old Glory!

The committee in charge of getting homes where the children of New York's east side may spend couple of weeks next month feel very much encouraged at the responses coming in and the offers being made.
 There are some cases where people have homes in which they are willing to take children if meone can be found to pay the cost Of board One woman on Putnam Heights has offer ed to take twelve girls if money can be furnished for their board She only estimates the cost at s3 per week. which Is. of course. very low. and makes the total amount for the ? children for two weeks. $72. Any one willing to contribute can do so through any member of the commit. tee

FIRST of the American Amy-they died in
France! Gresham! Enright! Hay! They DIED
for us. And willingly! But not, pray God, in vain.
For the sake of them, if for no other reason,
will you not give to the Red Cross which will care
for the men that follow them.
Far the sake Of what they died for, will you not
give-and give till the heart says stop?
None of us here can give as greatly as they gave
and as Others are yet to give But we not sacr-
flee ourselves little? Will you take little from
the comforts of your life and give, not mere con-
science gift that sal ives your pride and lets you say
to yourself: 81 have given to the Red Cross but
gift that cuts down into the quick and hurts be-
cause it makes you deny yourself?
Remember they gave till they died
