INTERESTING WAR RELIC.

Old Flag Used at Fort Berthold Made
BY Soldiers.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, June 15.-One Of the
most interesting war relics which has
come to the state for some time is that
of an old flag used at Fort Berthold
during the civil war. 1t was sent into
the state adjutant generals office by
]. L. Blair, of San Francisco, retired
railroad man. In describing the flag he
wrote:
"This flag was improvised by Com
pany G, sixth Iowa cavalry. which
was left at Fort Berthold on the upper
Missouri river during the winter OF
1864 and 1865.
I'm packing their supplies by acct
dent no flag was packed. These sup
plies were sent by steamboat up the
Missouri river and when the company
arrived. coming from the west, and
went into camp at the front, they did
no. know what to do for a flag.
"In their difficulty they discovered
a piece of white cloth in the Indian
trading store. One of the comrades, a
blacksmith. donated his blue overalls
which were ripped UP and pieced to-
gether for the blue field. We then dis
covered French trapper wearing red
flannel endorsements which we con-
fiscated. ripped up and pieced together
for the red stripes. The stars were by
error cut with six points insted Of the
regulation five but as we had no more
cloth they were used as made and we
had flag, red white and blue, which
was unfurled to the breeze on the
morning Of Sept. 10, 1864.
This flag was USED by this COM
pany during the balance Of the war
and brought back to Iowa by Capt. G..
B. Moreland, of Delaware county, who
has long since passed away"

Resolution Adopted Favoring Original
z Package Law.
Mason City, June 15.-The Iowa
State Federation Of Labor closed its
1918 convention yesterday afternoon.
Business was transacted at a whirl-
wind pace yesterday and soon after
luncheon the-last resolution was read
and passed. A feature was the reading
OF results on the endorsement Of the
original package resolution. The vote
stood so to Al in favor Of the resolu-
ton.
A resolution appointing the president
Of the federation as statitician ana
historician was unanimously adopted
by the delegates. This means that
records and facts concerning the
organization will be kept with greater
accuracy and bulk. A lump of $500 was
provided for clerical and other expenses
connected with the added responsible
ity.
John Buzzefle, Of Fort Dodge, was
the only delegate to bring the great
problem of women labor before the
convention. He introduced a resolution
asking the endorsement Of the equal
wage scale for men and women and
providing for. better working con-
ditions for female labor. The resolution
was adopted after recommendation by
the resolution committee.
One Of the most important measures
passed was the one which changes the
date OF the state federation Of labor
assembly from June II to the third
Tuesday in May. This will enable the
convention to be over before the A. F.
L. convention and will allow the dele
gate to that convention to prepare his
report before attending.

Des Moines, June Is. - The state
council of national defense today gave
publicity to the letter which Governor
Harding is forwarding to all persons
who have written him with regard to
Che Interpretation Of his foreign Ian
guage proclamation. In this latter the
governor makes it plain- that he has
plenty Of authority to enforce the pro-
visions Of this edict.
DO not place any credence In the
voice Of those who say the governor
did not have authority to issue the
proclamation, declares the governor
in his letter.
II have plenty of authority for the
issuance Of the proclamation and OF
course plenty of authority to enforce 1t.
THE proclamation will stand" de-
clares the governor. Take it in The
spirit in which it was issued. In a
short time all will see the wisdom OF
the movement started to have one lam
guage turnout the state"
Holds Action Necessary.
The governor explains that the is
suance Of the proclamation was neces-
sary because Of the fact that German
: propaeanda is being spread thruout
the state in all foreign languages and
for the reason that there have arisen
in many places in the state serious
conditions because some were speaking
foreign languages"
He pointed out that a careful reading
os The proclamation and Interpretation
OF it will assure any one that it does
not hamper the use Of a foreign Ian
guage for the purpose Of reaching,
where necessary. the hearts of any
people for patriotic and various wat
activities"
mo offense should be taken by loya,
Americans of foreign birth or descent
for the proclamation in no instance
classes any one with our common en-
envy" continues the governor. 1T is
confined strictly to the using of foreign
languages, all of which are a medium
of German propaganda.
.'The Italians of Des Moines, in a
signed resolution, have heartily en-
dorsed the proclamation. The Scan
dinavian churches Of Sioux City have
decided to hold all their services in the
future in strict compliance with the
proclamation The Bohemians OF
Cedar Rapids, who were most vigorous
in their protest, having come to full
realization of the motive which
prompted the issuance Of the proc
lamation and fully understanding the
Interpretation -of 1t have now with
drawn their protest and heartily en-
dorse the proclamation. A broad and
unselfish acceptance Of the spirit OF
the proclamation is Of course ex-
pected from all"
The governor declares that Iowa has
in the neighborflood Of $1,000 boys into
the service Of our country.
Each one of these boys has made a
supreme sacrifice" he points out. Il
am sure that none desire to remain at
home and complain that they are
making sacrifices when they realize
how much it means to these young men
who have left u.s."

Washington June 15.-In view Of the
large number Of Iowans appearing in
recent casualty lists from the front.
there is something comforting in the
confident assertion of Surgeon General
Gorgas that as result Of studies at
the front, methods have been developed
whereby more than so per cent Of the
wounded are now cured and returned
to forces in three or four weeks.
Surgical science has made wonderful
advancement during the war. The best
surgeons of an the allied nations are
in the military service, pooling their
knowledge and skill for the benefit of
humanity in the treatment of war
wounds.
Even the men classified as wounded
severely" are reclaimed by some OF the
miracles of surgery performed in
French hospitals.
New Notation Puzzles.
In the last few days new notation
has been made in the casualty lists.
that of degree undetermined" after
the names Of wounded soldiers. Army
officers here have been puzzled by the
notation, but they know that the Bit
ish army does not classify its casual
ties as wounded severely or wounded
slightly" and they asscume that the
degree undetermined" wounded repre-
sent men in troops brigaded with the
British, General Pershing being un-
able to state whether these men were
wounded severely or slightly because
he is given no report from the British
showing the degree of their injury.
The preponderenGe Of Iowans In
casualty lists Of the last lew DAYS,
which brought commont from many
army chiefs, would indicate that the
Iowans are in the thick of the fight.
There have been no reports of activity
in the Toul sector that would justify
such heavy casualties.
Secretary Baker Is considering the
advisability Of identifying the units in
the heavy fighting zone, after the en-
envy by prisoners has identified these
units, and it may be possible soon to
verify this opinion that the Iowans
have moved west where the fighting is
thickest.
Mccash Can Go to Congress.
Secretary Baker and Adtutant Gen
eral Mccain have given horseback
opinions that if Corporal Buell. Nc
Cash, of Camp Dodge, is elected to
congress in the Sixth district over
Congressman Ramseyer he will be
given discharge from the military
service and be permitted to take his
