MOURNING BANDS

One of the finest undertakings of
the American Red Cross is the distri
button of mourning brassards to the
nearest relatives of men lost in the
war.
This emblem, a black band of cloth
three inches wide bearing a military
star, was sanctioned some time ago
The Red Cross has now decided tc
provide II free of cost to the parents
or wives of the fallen. Other rela
tives may purchase IL at cost
In case more than one man from q
family has died In the service, the
fact may be indicated by two or more
stars, as the case may be. The distri
button will be made by the chapters
of the Red Cross working in conjunc
tion with the local units of the wo
mans committee of the Council oI
National Defense. The brassards are
expected to be ready about the mid
die Of this month.
We hope that these emblems will
not become too familiar. a. sight. Oul
people are recOnciled, however, tt
any sacrifice that must be made. Ant
how much better a token of sacrifice
this iy than, the usual form of mourn
Ing, With Its suggestion of utter griel
and gloom! Il There is just enough
black to show forth, all the brighter
the golden star which is fit memor
ial of the fallen hero.

lABOR'S WAR

II Is not at all strange that we have
had 80 little labor war" since the
United States entered the big fight
The fact Is. az President Wilson re-
marked In his Labor Day message
that the world-struggle Itself Is la

"The labOrer IL not only needed at

The soldier is his champion and rep
resentative. To fail to win would be
to imperll everything that the labor

freedom first had It's dawn and his
struggle for justice began"
