THE people Of this country have ac-
quired the habit Of arising and
standing at attention whenever the
national anthem is played. They do
not, however, properly recognize the
flag. When it passes in a parade they
do not salute it as they should. Here
is suggestion which may lead to the
result of a more general recognition
of the flag: Salute every morning the
first flag you see. You will pass
many during the day, flags floating
over buildings or in the windows
of residences or store buildings. 1t
would be too much to salute them all.
But the first one encountered is the
one to which you should take off your
hat or make some other token of re-
spect. In the course of every man or
woman to work in the morning there
is some one flag that can be chosen
as the one to salute The observance
need not be ostentatious, though ex-
ample is effective. Just think of the
flag as you pass it or walk under it
and in some way observe it, publicly
if you will, privately otherwise, but
better publicly. Salute every morn
ing the first flag you see.

TRIBUTE TO AMERICA
 BY LUIGI LUZZATTI

An oinion on the United States has been given by Luigi Luzzatti, one of the ablest economists of Italy, in answer to request made by com- nlittee of distinguished American wo- men. These women asked him to give an idealistic interpretation of the spirit which has animated the people of the United States from the time of their origin as European emigrants fleeing from religious persecution down to the present day In his an- swer MT. Luzzatti refutes the sinister insinuations usually made against the United States by foreigners, which accuse them of being interest , ed in business and gain alone. In his answer to the women of America he sees only the greatness, the love of l libert! which has been their ideal ever.
 His vision of America is as follows Born in divine heart throb they grew greater now in the throl of the human heart. ! Born to deliver themselves from l the. multifarious religious tyrannies of Europe, today they rise to save Europe from military tyranny s
 At the dawn of their marvellous life Gods liberty shone. as a croWI of sacrifice and redemption; at mid day they harvest as an immortal re. ward the privilege of delivering op- pressed nations.'

OLD MACHiNfR 0F
 GOVERNMENT .STIlL.
 WORKING IN BERLIN

Amsterdam, Dec. 3.-The old gov ernmental machine in Berlin is still operating, according to Kurt Eisner, the Bavarlan premier, as quoted in the Telegraaf of this city Eisner, in speaking at today's meeting of the soldiers and workmen's council for Bavaria at Munich, the Telegraaf, states, announced:
 Last week I went to Berlin, where entire machinery of the old govern ment is still working"
 Referring to the revelations made public at Munich in the form of docu- mentary evidence of Germany's re- sponsibility for the war, Eisner is quoted as saying:
 From the secret documents of the Bavarian legation, I published those which will prove to the silliest to whom we owe the war"
 At Berlin'' continued the premier, I demanded that men like Dr. Alfred Zinmermann and Herr Won Jagow who were unmasked by this publica- tion, be immediately arrested. I am quite sure they have been granted oriy a short respite. s
 q told the gentlemen of the old sys- tenn that they were incapable of con- ducting the peace negotiations.
 It is true that we have 'revolu- tionary government i'll Berlin, but il has nothing to say. If Berlin is capa- ble of acting, We Bavarians must first help ourselves and act i'll the interests of the whole"
 The premier added that Bavaria will ask at the peace conference the doing away with the armies of Ger many and of the whole world and put the duty of the maintenance of law and order uupon d military police force

 FORMER EMPEROR
London Post Doubts Authenticity of PurpOrted Document of Abdicati0n But Contends Is Immaterial.

London, Dec. British Wireless Service. )-The Morning Post com menting on the former German en- peror is genuine, and it is equally possible that it is nothing of the kind. In either case, the instrument con- tains no word concerning the success sion or>the dynasty, nor is it counter signed by any responsible official. If, however, by virtue of this paper, Will liam II, has in fact abdicated, the throne of Prussia and the overlord ? ship of Germany, he has been staying in a neutral country under false pre- lenses. His abdication was formally announced by what was the German government when he fled into Hol- land; so that his condition in that country was ostensibly the cpndMQ of private person. It now appt&s&f that he was really king and German emperor until Friday last. .stO
 "In that case, the hospitality ofsNDl- land has been abused.
 "It is also worth nothing that atte written abdication is published at the moment when there is demand fol the .extradition of the visitor. What proof of his abdication, it may be asked, did the German emperor pres ent to the Dutch government when he crossed the frontier? If no such proo was offered, it seems that the roya fugitive should have been promptly interned as deserter.'

STIRRING SCENES
 AT PEACE MEETING

London, Dec. 3 (British Wireless Service. e.)--Stirring scenes were wit messed in Downing Street today, when the representative of Great Britain, France and Italy assembled to discuss the preliminaries of the peace con- ference. 1t was understood that the status of the former German emperor and the question of making Germany pay the full bill were before the meeting.
 By the time the representatives ar rived, Downing street was filled to overflowing with a great crowd of spectators.
 For two hours the mass of people remained singing the National Anth- em, the Marseillaise, and Rule Brit annia" until the door of number 10 opened and the Marshal reappeared His exit was the signal for renewal of the cheering and again a rush for his car, many even trying to shake hands with him. He stood alone on the step acknowledging the welcome with a greatful smile; then the car drove quickly away.
 M Clemenceau, Marshal Foch, Pre- mier Orlando and Baron Sonnino, res pectively the Italiap nremier and for eign minister, had been sitting with the British ministers from II o'clock in the morning until six in the evening with only an interval for lunch. The meeting was held in the cabinet room of the premier's office in Downing street which has been the scene of many historical gatherings. During the entire sitting the doors were guarded. Premier Lloyd eGorge, Chan cellor, Bonar Law, and Foreign Secre- tary Balfour and others were pres ent representing Great Britain Mir. Lloyd George presided.
 An authoritative statement was is- sued after the meeting that there had been no hitch during the deliberations and that certain definite and import ant conclusions had been arrievd at.
 No details of these have yet become available. It is not known whether the question of extending the armis- tic was dlscussd. The conference Will be resumed tomorrow. The official attitude is that nothing properly can be said until the conference is ended

Washington, Dec. 3.-The American government has made no suggestions whatever to Chile and Peru as to the disposition of the disputed provinces or Iacna and Africa. This was announ- ced officially tonight at the state de- partment.
 This was the first information that the United States government had communicated with the Chilean and feruyian governments concerning the dispute over the two provinces.
 According to official information received today at the Chilean en- oassy' the statement that the military ana naval reserves have been called 10 arms is incorrect. What took place. according to this information, was
 an administrative measure of an internal nature" including a decision that 1t was advisable to continue in service the drafts recently discharged.
 The Peruvian legation also was aaVised from Lima that the Peruvian military reserves have not been called to the colors. It also was said that the relations between Peru and Bra zil are in no way affected by the dis pute with Chile. There has been a re- port, 1t was explained, that the Brazil ian ambassador has been recalled rom Lima as a result of the diffi- ctltles between the west coast repub- lies. -,
