GERMANY'S FLAGS


Docs the German flag ,hean to the
German the same that our Stars and
stripes mean to the American" Born
and brought up in Germany, and having
served in the German army. l can speak
from experience. OF course. the German
has his flag. yet flags would perhaps
better express ii. because, aside from the
national German colors, black. white and
red, each state has it's colors. which are
shown Just AS much az, and probably
ever more than. those of the empire.
For instance, whenever We had occasion
to fly flags in our town there were fully
as many green and white ones-the
Saxon c~olors-as there We're of black,
white and red. Yet it must not be un-
derstood that these were hoisted together.
No, If a man had a Saxon flag that was
MI he had, while his neighbor had Just
he German standard.
But the greatest difference lies in what
the flag stands for. Ask an American
and he will unllesitatingly tell you that
the Stars and Stripes stand for freedom
and democracy. Ask a German, and he
will have no answer, except that black.
white, and red stand for German. green
and white for Saxon, black and white for
Prussian, ard so on. We were never told
when going to school of any Ideals either
the German or Saxon flag represented.
When Joining the army, we had to swear
by u flag-not the German flag, but the
regimental standard III Saxon colors,
which simply meant to he loyal to tho
emperor; and as l now look ut it. swear
away what little thought of freedom there
nay have been, and submit without dues-
| ton to serving in absolute blind obedience
to greatest autocrat the world has ever
known.
Was the rlag aver there such an inspir-
ing, sacred emblem as here? Never! True,
we had reglmental standards. that is.

1T WAS an army medical corps sur
geon. u major from New York. who
operated on Capt. Archie Roosevelt.
after the former presidents son was
wounded. Captain Roosevelt's arm WAS
badly shattered. - piece of slrapnel
went through his knee. Everyone said
the captain would ave a stiff knee the
rest of his life.
But he won't.
Applying all his professional skill,
this surgeon, working i'll an operating
room as completely equipped as n
in a hospital at home. cut away the
crushed and torn tissue in the captains
arm and leg. An operation on the knee
is; always delicate.
Upon the success Of this operation
depended Rosevclt's physical fitness for
tho future. 1T was n triumph for this
major. who must remain Unnamed. y

eyes of the French general. hcard him

and received the croix de sicrrc. He
now is on the road to recovery.
The United Press correspondent saw
this ma~ior-surgeon shortly after the
operation was completed. He stopped
from the side OF a patient whose
wounds We're dressed under his super
vision. smiling and :tffablc.
The captains wounds are rather ser
lous. he said hut not fatal. 1t is too
early to tell just what the outcome

y few days later the majors smile
was even brighter. Captain Roosevelt,
could not be doing better. he said. Pro-
gress MAS fine. But it Was moi until
some time later. through another med
zeal officer, that it was learned that the
major had performed-successfully-
an operation that would rouse the envy
OF any surgeon working Under condi-
lions of peace.
To the major it was an in the days
work. He merely was doing his duty.
Any other soldier brought to the hos
Dltal would receive the same expert at

of Captain Archie has been sent round

story of the major who saved him from

Australia's Wonder Lake.

On Works peninsula. i'm SCOUT So

the earth which fills up i'm tho winter.
months. In the hot summer sun the
water quickly ~evapQrates. leaving 81
thick deposit of almost pure salt. Seen
from a distance the surface of the
lake has all the appearance of being
covered with a sheet Of ice. The salt
crust is so thick and strong that men
and even carts and plows car traverse
it with perfect safety. Yet below the
crust there is a considerable body of
sluggish water.
After the rays of the summe, sun
have played their part, the salt is gath
cred. 1t is just raked into heaps, and
these pyramids Of salt are a striking
feature Of the landscape. The salt. is
now shove!ed into carts and conveyed
to various works On the scaboard, to
undergo the process of refining. Gath
ering the salt is trying work on ac-
count of the great heat and the daz-
zling reflection. Often it is necessary
for the men to wear colored glasses to
protect the eyes. After the loose salt
has been collected from the surface, "a
special / of pillow is run over it,
when another harvest of valuable ma
terial can be reaped. The yield of salt
from this~strange lake amounts to sew
eral thousand o II q year. and 1t is
among the finest ~obtainable. The lake
is several square miles in area and is
naturally a very valuable property.

in the respect that he understands the
British and American qualities. Hc knows
how I'd, make use of them. as his works
of the Marine had not demonstrated his
capacity. He has another wouid-be Ma
poleon on the other side of he Rhine for
his opponent, and whatever minor gains
the prodtgal waste of German soldiers
may have registered the cnemy's position
is now no better han Napoleon's would
have been had the result of Waterloo
been indecisive.
This is the secret of the profound con-
fidence displayed by the allies and ex-
pressed by all military authorities able to
read results correctly. Hirdenburg, who
pledged himself to be in Paris on April
], is already talking of Il German peace"
as last rs August. In view OF his object
i've. and the substitution for his original
plan of attacks along an over extended
front. in the hope of some such ucky re-
suit as almost happened when General
Carey blocked the road to An,icns with
his ilnprovised battalicps Of engineers
and civilians. who literally hardly knew
ono end of n u from tho other. his
predictions can scarcely convince the
outside observer.
That is a kind of opportunity which is
not likely to happen a second time: but
when the kaiser Is playing his last des-
peratc stake, an increasing disposition to
trust to luck In spite of all German
method n provision rs sufficiently evil
dent to account for the allied confidence
In ultimate results.

The Imperial Crocodile.
From the Chicago Herald.

= a0'A SA' >N5
The crocodile should henceforth be .
sacred animal in Germany. That coun-
try's imperial master has patterned after
it on sevcral notable occasions. At the
beginning of the war he sorrowed over
the French. a great people once but now
sadly degenerated.' He would be SORROW
ing still over them if they hadn't.g given
him real cause TO sorluw over the fact
that they were brave, virile and in
domitable.
His sadness over the destruction of
Louvain is still remembered as one of the
finest examples of crocodile tears ever
produced in any country. And now he
grieves over the destruction occasioned
by the present offensive. What nave 1
not done to preserve the world from such
horrorsy' he exclaimed with tha ready
instinct for imperial Justification SO often
exhibited. 1t would take too much time
to enumeratc the things that he has not
rors in question. The world accords the
latest example of crocodile sorrow merely
a passing glance OF contempt.
by this time. in all probability. his grief
has become moro sincere. IL more con-
cealed. The mountains of German dead

ton. Ths failure Of the German drive
to cut through the allied lines with the
expected celebrity must likewise awaken
anxiety in b imperial mind. But OF this
he naturally says nothing: that sort OF
thlng IN not for Vnbiication. Il would not
help bolster hn rotten dynasty wtth the

American soil for al I've seen-not if {
had to live over there. 1t isn't that the
European countries aren't beautiful. tor
they are-perhaps lovelief than our more
rugged iand can cvcS hope to be, and
they have everything to make existence
easy and comfortable. Eut the >life is
belittling. that's the truth. What the
causes back of it may be. | don't know
probably it's their social system; anyhow.
Europeans aren't so broad gauged as
Americans. OF course. the average
European would boot at that. He on
siders an American AN uncouth barbarian.
because the American happens to have
customs that differ from his OWN; but
he's welcome to his delusion.
TIL European thinks and acts by rule of
thumb. lie is suspicious of his %neighbors
and hates other nationalities. Now. with
all our faults. as people. we don't hate
anybody. We haven't time. Anyway.
what's the use? Besides, why SHOULD we?
A man hates for two reasons-envy n
fear. We aren't afraid of anybody so you
could notice it, and WI don't have to envy
any nation.
My own theory about the difference be-
tween the European and American view
is that ours is Il land OF hope. Over
there, there isn't much ahead of tho aver
age man, his opportunities are so limited.
and that makes him spiteful. But i'll the
United States any live wire with brains
can get a strangle hold on the Whole
round earth if he is man enough to go
after it, so he has small time for envy Of
other peoples. and such littleness.
In Europe they are long past the noon
Of achievement. and we-well, we're fac
ing the dnwn.
Our people will be tremendously changed,
though. at the end of this business. Mix
ing with all kinds of nationalities, the
boys are broadening a lot. They'll have
new ideas Of geography and the other
peoples of the earth, and they will junk q
lot of the shibboleths OF the past.
And America will have to be mighty
careful about immigration. About 80 per
cent of the folks yeu talk to over
there say they're going to the United
States when the war is over. Unless their
own governments prohibit immigration,
we'll have to put up the bars or be fairly
swamped. They think we're the ~lucliest
people alive. For a long while the average
French kid was persuaded that all Ameri-
can soldiers marched in motor cars.
