Ii is to Amerieanize these people, to
do something that Will make them more
truly citizens Of the United States than
they have been, that should engage the
attention of wise statesmen. 1t has
been asserted that there are too many

RED CROSS "DRIVES'' IN
 THE ARCTIC ZONE

.Imbued with a win-the-war spirit equal to that of their white sisters, Eskimo women have become enthusi. astic Red Cross workers, and drives for funds are conducted with great zeal and success" states William T. Lopp. chief Of the Alaska division of the United States Bureau of Educa- ton, who has just returned to Wash. ington from the Northwest.
 The Eskimos' contribution repre- sent real sacrifice" continued MT. Lopp. One village, which had been saving up for several years for the purchase Of much-needed sawmill and had accumulated s13O, donated s1G0 Of it's scanty hoard, and then procured further contributions amount ing to s3S.

 The donations are made in ailot. ments of one hundred francs to each family. In. some instances this sum goes through the Prefectures Of the various Departments. in others it goes direct. Some have received it at the tMairie-getting it from "le bon pere' after he has said mass.
 But however it comes. and through whatever local medium they know the source of this benefcence and are greatly moved by the generosity of the American people.

 \ very young child has laboriously written:
 My little sister and I thank the American Red Cross so very much for the gift of hundred francs to our Mama. Our Papa died for France and, Monsieur. long live America!- our Ally, who has come to help us drive away those nasty Boches, and who will revenge the death of our Papa
 \ girl of r writes:
 Tt is q wonderful kind of friend ship. as I was left alone without father and brothers: a deed of friendship rich with material and moral encour- asement that I shall keep as a pre- cious memory of the American Red Cross"
 \ young widow says:
 I have received the donation from the Red Cross of America, and am so grateful for the good action. Please, Monsieur. tell to this organization, and the generous souls across the water. of my profoundest and sheer. est thanks. shall teach my father less children 10 love and respect our good Ally-America.

IOWA TROOPS TO CARRY
 NEW STATE FLAG

Iowa was one of three States North Dakota. \and New Mexico being the other two; having no State flag" said Mrs. Dixie Cornell Gebhardt, of Knox vile, Iowa, State regent of the D. A. R. When the Iowa troops were call ed 10 the colors we determined that this lack must be remedied, so that our boys could carry with them to foreign lands their State symbol.
 The flag committee of the D. A. R. worked out design and presented it for approval to Gov. Harding and the State council of defense, and a com mittee was authorized to prepare flags to be presented to each outgoing reg iment of Iowa troops. The D. A. R. of Iowa provided money for eight of these flags, one of which is now with the old Third Iowa somewhere in France Seven were presented by Gov Harding to the Iowa units at Camp Colby.
 "The flag design consists of three vertical stripes in blue, white and red the French colors-Iowa having been at first French territory, part of the Louisiana purchase. Upon the central stripe is a spreading eagle from the seal Of Iowa, bearing in it's beak blue streamers on which is in- scribed the State motto"
 The flag is to be formally adopted by the State legislature at it's session in 1919.

GERMAN NEWSPAPER .SNEERS AT ARMY OF
 AMERICA IN FRANCE
Says It Consists of Wood cutters, Railroaders, Doc tors and Two or
 Three" Divisions

London, January 1S.-Commenting upon the statement by Secretary Of 1 War Baker before a congressional com
 mittee regarding war preparations. the semi-official Norddeutsch Allgemeine
 Zeitung of Berlin says:
 The American Secretary of War
 speaks of an American army in France. There is an American army in France, but it consts entirely of woodcutters, railway men and doctors. except two or three divisions whose precious lives
 are being spared in quiet places far be-
 hind the front.
 ''Mr. Baker speaks as if shortly there would be 500 900 Americans in France. Can the United States spare such a large number of men? The answer is no; because a large part of the army must remain behind for the protection of the frontiers, the coasts, the colonies and for other duties of a political na- ture. The political situation compels the United States to keep at home the greater proportion of it's army and the country can at the most put only 400,- 900 or 500,000 men in the European bat tlefields. For the transfer of even this number of 2,500,000 tons of shipping will be required, necessitating 650 journeys of steamers of 300 to 500 tons Thus an army of even this small size cannot possibly be made available before the summer of 1918.
 Tn the decision on the western front this spring American participation can ehect no change. The whole sepech of the American Secretary of War. is a gigantic American hluff."

L-POWERFU u WAR
 COUNCIL OF THREE
 IS NOW PROPOSED
Creation of This New Body Together With Director of Munitions Planned
 in Bill

Washington, January Is, Radical changes in the govern ment's war-making machinery are proposed in bills to estab- fish a war council of three members, all-powerful under the President, and to create a director of war munitions, ap- proved today by the Senate military committee.
 The bill for director of muni- tions was placed before the Senate today and that for the war council will be introduced by Chairman Chamberlain Monday.
 Administration approval is being sought for both measures which have virtually the unanimous support Of the committee. So far there has been no intimation of President Wilson's atti- tude. Proposals to have the Secretaries foaWar and Navy as ex-officio members of the war council were rejected today by the committee before the measure was put in final form.
 As ordered reported the bill proposes that the three members of the war council shall be appointed by, the Pres ident, with confirmation by the Senate, and be directly under the President and above the cabinet in authority with power to Supervise, control and direct all departments, bureaus and agencies of the government in the prosecution Of the war"
 It is proposed. that, the council shall have no other duties than to form and execute, with the Presidents approval and cooperation, broad war policies and decide priorities and disputes be- tween the different departments and bureaus. ss,,. s3sES.
 The director of munitions. also presidential appointee and confirmed by the Senate, would control produce tion and transportation of war supplies under the policies of the President and the war council. This bill is an amend ed substitute for that originally drawn by Senator Chamberlain for 3 depart ment of munitions with cabinet smem- Der at it's head.
 Senator Chamberlain said toni ght he l lpanned to get both measures before l the Senate as soon as possible, proba- | ply next week. Afterward the commit 1 tees inquiry into the aviation, can- tonment, sanitation and other questions l of the army may be resumed.

Highway Between Anniston and Camp Mcclellan Will Be Built With Brick

Washington, January 1S.-(Specal) While the average man who comes to Washington seeking favors returns dis appointed. John w. Sibley of Birmingham has gone home rejoicing.
 It was case involving the construc- tion of a military highway from Anniston to Camp Mcclellan. For this road the people of Anniston had raised $65, ,000 and the government appropriated like sum. MT. Sibley delivered brick for the con- struetion of the road.
 Then the military authorities at Camp Mcclellan insisted that concrete be used. This meant disappointment and financial loss to MT. Sibley So he came to Wash ington.
 The war department, aware that much time would be lost before concrete could be delivered. decided that the road con structed as soon as possible was more essential than the material involved. Mir. Sibley was therefore authorized to pro- ceed.
 As result, Anniston will soon have a road. constructed in part by the govern ment, which will stand when the trum- pets of war no longer resound
