The State Board of Health have
finally issued an order designating
Influenza and lnfluenZa-pneumonia
a dangerous communicable disease.
The law which governs diseases of
this class is strict and mandatory
No more public funerals may be held
for those who die of this disease; and
no public funerals may be held, no
matter what may be the cause of
death, in localities where the epidem-
ic is prevalent. There has been al
together too much levity permitted
in funeral gatherings, and the order
should have been made weeks ago.
Instances have been known in this
community, where those not yet re-
covered from the disease have been
permitted to sit in a close small
room, filled to overlooking with
people at a public funeral. The spirit
of the recent ORDER which appears in
full in another column of this issue,
should be carried out to the letter.
1t becomes the duty of every under
taker to see that the provisions of
the order, and the law relative there
to is communicated to families where
funerals are to be held.

1t has been rumored for some days
in the metropolitan papers of the
country, that the American Peace
delegates would advocate the sinking
of all the German War vessels sur
rended by the terms Of the armistice.
This rumor gave the impression that
President Wilson would advocate such
a disposition Of the ships, and critic
ism of the President for his attitude
has been caustic. A recent statement
from the President however, shows
the criticism to be unjust and pre-
mature. Mr.. Wilson will fight any
such plan, if it should be advocated,
and would not consent under any cir
cumstances, even if it should be to
insure harmony at the Peace Table,
to the sinking of the German Navy.
The President is right. There could
be no earthly reason for so wanton
a destruction of valuable property in
times of peace. 1t would be a crazy
notion to destroy the ships and then
have the nations appropriate billions
Of dollars to rebuild them.

Is your name on the Christmas
Honor Roll of the Red Gross? If
not, then the spirit of Christmas
time is to you, not what it should be.
Start the New Year right, and one
of the first and most important duties
should be to see that you are willing
to continue to do your part in the
great work of the Red Cross. The
war Of course is ended, but the work
of the Red Cross never ends. Do
your part, and be a real live loyal

1t has been suggested by some Of
the patrons of the local schools that
a skating place be provided this
winter for the convenience of the
students. This could be done with
very little expense in some field adj
jacent to the school grounds. 1t is
probable with a little missionary
work, that the necessary work in
connection with the preparation Of
the field would be donated Skating
is always a popular sport, and a
healthful recreation as well. The
only place nearby where Paw Paw
boys and girls may indulge in this
sport is on Maple Lake and the fact
that there is always a current run
ming under the ice in this artificial
lake, makes skating there extremely
hazardous. 1t might be a good plan
for the teachers to agitate the mat
ter little among the students and
see what could be done to carry out
some feasible plan for the winters
recreation.

and which should be a source Of
inspiration and patriotism for
future generations. Such build
ing will provide a fitting place
for the keeping of a complete
record of Kalamazoo county's
part in the war. In addition to
assembly rooms in which to house
the various organizations which
the fighting men have formed in
the service, there will be suitable
galleries where relics and trophies
of the battlefields can be safe
ly kept and displayed, and where
photographs of every Kalamazoo
county boy who took part in the
struggle for freedom can be
hung, together with a complete
record of their names and the
battles in which they took part.
1t is proposed, too, that the build
ing shall include quarters for the
military organizations of other
wars and that there shall be a
place for safe-keeping for the
records and trophies of our fight
ing men of other days.
That the memorial should be more
than just military gathering
place, but that it should also be
the social and intellectual center
of the community where work of
art and historical collections
might be housed and displayed
has been the suggestion of a
number of citizens, and this idea
is included in the plans Of the
city commission as they now
stand.
There are great possibilities in
the plan adopted by the city COM
mission and there is little doubt
but that the committee of citi-
zens appointed to carry out the
plan will make the most Of it.
1t should be remembered that
above all and before all, the
memorial must be tribute to the
valor and sacrifice of the men
who went out to fight for liberty.
The soldiers and sailors must be
made to feel that when the build
ing is completed it is theirs, not
that they have only a fractional
interest in it.

"To find any plan for memorial
ling our soldier and sailor heroes
that would meet with the approx
al OF every one of the thousands
who are interested was of course
impossible. Hundreds of suggest
ions have been made, many of
them of high merit, and all have
been given due consideration by
the special committee appointed
by the city commission to study
the subject. In determining that
the memorial should take such
form that it would serve not only
as an enduring testimonial to the
valor and sacrifice of our fight
ing sons, but also answer a util-
itarian purpose, the commission
seems to have acted in accord
ance with the majority of those
who have given expression to
their ideas.
So Kalamazoo county is to COM
memorate the magnificent record
Of her soldier and sailor sons in
the Great War by setting up a
permanent Memorial Building
which will be gathering place
for men who have been in service
