KEEP FIELD OF FLAG
TO NORTH OR EAST
Proper Manner of Hanging Old
Glory Puzzles Many.

Widespread display OF Old Glory in
cident TO victory celebrations has
caused citizens to knock at the por-
tails of military information in regard
to the proper manner in hanging the
flag on walls.
Amiable disputes were held yester-
day in several churches over whether
the field of stars in the ensign should
be on ones right or left hand were
he facing the flag. Some asked: IF
the ensign were hanging on a north
wall would the field OF stars fly to
the east or west2'
Col. NJ. A. Winter was sought as an
arbiter on the question and he terseIy
accommodated by stating that the
field OF stars should always fly either
to the north or east

INVITING THE DELUGE.

It is hard to understand the Ger
man character With a complete lick
ing staring him in the face it would
seem the part of good sense to use
some discretion in tempering that dis
aster to as little as real necessity
would compel But the German can
not see it that way. In the towns that
are taken by the Allies the German
before leaving has been guilty of
every vandalism that his brutal inge-
nuity can suggest. He not only de-
stroys in wantOn manner, tearing
up books, Sitting pictures, battering
objects of art, destroying buildings
and indulging in all those useless ex-
hibitions of hatred, but he defiles in
every conceivable way and defaces
sions of hate. Nothing that he can
think of to show his meanness is
overlooked.
He hunts up any unnecessary way
to irritate those who follow him. He
never leaves any place without invit-
ing the reprisal of those who come,
and he is piling up the most compre-
hensive trimming that any man ever
engaged for himself, for it will be the
delight of the Americans when they
finally catch up with the. beasts to pay
off some of these scores that will be
accumulated by that time.
The more the German character is
encountered the more easily it is to
become resigned to war: With such a
people among the nations Of the earth
it was time that something should
he done to tame them down.
And that is the gang of wild hyenas
that has the nerve to stand UP before
decent folks and talk about an "hon-
orable" peace. 1t is not peace that
tribe wants. but civilization The first
step is subjugation, to be followed
by a process of tanning the beast, and
then the preliminaries of civilization
and humanizing If the job is done
by the army, as it promises now to be,
or at least that is where the prelimi-
naries will be commenced, Germany
has an interesting hour ahead of her
and not very far ahead, either

Notwithstanding the fact that the
government has plainly told the peo-
pie that gasoline is very scarce, that
the army and navy needs are so
great that not one pint of gasoline
should be wasted, and that Sunday
riding be dispensed with; except in
absolute necessity, yet scores of dis

the nerve to ignore the request of

The people are getting tired of such
utter lack of loyalty and are deter.
mined to put stop to it. 1t has

REVISION DOWNWARD OF

AlIina Of in New York and Other
Popnlous Oenters Cuts Down

Ppnlous Oenters Cuts Down
~ stlnates Of 14,oO0 DO0.
Washington; Sept I6.- Provost Mar
shal General. Crewder tonight had not
received complete figures from a sin
gle state on the registration Thursday
of men between 18 and 45, but partial
returns were received during the day
from draft officials compiling the dis
trict reports. The count was COM
plete in the District of Columbia but
the total was not announced.
Reports coming to the provost mar
shall general today from the more
populOus centers of the country led
members Of his staff here to revise
downward their estimates yesterday
that the total number of men regis
tered might reach 100000.
Returns from some New York dis
tricts indicated that the enrollm ent
there might produce only SO per cent
of the estimate before registration day
and it also was said that Chicago,
Detroit. and other large cities were
running slightly below the totals ex-
pected. Officials said this falling off
in the figures might offset the excess
shown in complete returns yesterday
from ten states, where the registration
was running 8.5 per cent over the
estimate. The final results, officials
concluded, might show a registration
not very far above or below the first
estimate of 100000.

There cannot be any peace until

nerform the compensatory acts when
