USE FOR A RED FLAG
(Mankato Review

The red flags. which many cities
are now properly barring from being
olspiayed, may still be put to good
use by using the following recipe:
Take your red flag and cut it n
long, narrow strips. Using seven Of
these strips and six white stripes of
similar length and width, sew them
together. alternating the colors. Cut
out a rectangle in one of the upper
corners Of what you now have, to the
depth OF Z Of the strips thus united
(four red and three Whitley and put
a piece of blue cloth in its place,
Upon the blue, sew 4S white stars and
you will have a flag that you may
display with pride anywhere in the
world.
If you don't wan to 70 to the
trouble of following the above recipe.
the only proper use of your red flag
is a danger signal. which is its true
significance. whether USED by. a rail-
road hand. or Haunted by anarchist,

INFLUENCE OF WORLD OPINION

1t is often said that a league of nations would be
worthless without the physical power to enforce obedl-
ence TO it's mandates. 1t is true that without that power
the plan will be incomplete, and, to that extent, inefec-
tive. But it does not follow that even without it's own
armed force a league of free nations would be powerless
or useless.
Our DECLARATION of Independence sets forth that "a
decent respect for the opinions Of mankind required
that when a nation undertakes an important act which
affects it's relations with others, there shall be a proper
declaration of the causes leading to the act. In other
words, there is the recognition that it is important for a
nation to retain the respect and good will Of its neigh
bors. That fact has been recognized in all ages. and
while it is true that nations have sometimes ignored it
and gone their way in defiance of what they knew to be
the opinion of the world, that principle nevertheless re-
mains a governing influence in the affairs of the human
race.
On the program Of the League to Enforce Peace is
the requirement that before nations shall go to war they
shall submit their difference to a board for investigation
and report. 1t is sometimes suggested that such a pro-
vision would be valueless without a further provision to
enforce the findings of the investigating board. But
even without that, while it might not be final in all cases,
the delay, with the investigation and report, would prove
a powerful instrument for the preservation of peace.
In the fateful days of July, 1914, just preceding the
actual outbreak of the war, Sir Edward Grey proposed
that Austria be asked by France, Great Britain, Germany
and Italy to desist from her proposed attack on Serbia
until the issue could be examined by those four powers
jointly with a view to reaching a peaceful solution. Does
anyone doubt that if that course had been followed, war
would have been averted? The thing is self-evident.
France, Great Britain and Italy agreed to this plan. Ger
many alone refused. The German rulers were bent on
war, and they knew that if there were delay, and If a
moderate course should be proposed by four great ma
tons, the chances fora war would be ended.

BIG MAIL LINERS
TO BE FITTED
WITH SEAPLANES

London, Dec. 13.-"Within a very
reasonable period we shall find all
principal mail liners fitted with sea-
planes" asserts D. H. Bernard, editor
of the Merchant Service Review.
Considerable time will be saved in
the transit of mails. A liner leaving
New York with urgent and important
letters will be able to discharge them
by seaplane 800 to 400 miles west of
the Irish coast; within a few hours
they can be, delivered In London, thus
effecting a saving of "a hours.
1.-THE same. procedure can be carried
out by a vessel bound to New York,
weather of course being an important
factor, for in fine and settled weather
a we'll equipped seaplane could travel
at an enormous speed over a consid-
cradle distance. 1t is quite within the
bounds of possibility that letters
posted in London can be delivered in
New York within four days."
Mr.. Bernard thinks the service will
at first be subsidized by the govern
ments of the two countries.
Similarly, he says letters could be
expedited from South America to the
European continent by seaplanes
leaving the liners 800 miles off Lisbon
or Gibraltar.

avoided, and instead Of learning the
necessary precautions after. the cpl
demic Is well under way, will take
them at the first hint Of danger.
An equal opportunity o health
is the latest vision Of democracy and
must be n of the aims of recon
struction. without 1t there can be no
perfect social or economic equality.
The work of the. public health nurse
is a step toward this ideal for it seeks
to establish equality Of nursing care.
The public health nurse takes the
knowledge and skill of science out of
books and laboratories and applies 1t
In the homes and in the workshops
of h people Of the nation. She
cares for babies, for children at
school. for men and women in indus
try, on farms, wherever they may be.
BY teaching, she educates and pro-
tects against illness; she is nurse
first, but teacher and friend as we'll,
and n of her great values to the
community is the instruction she is
able to give as she is called from
house to house.
1.-THE immediate necessity is for
more public health nurses and this
means the establishment Of more
courses to give the special training
necessary.
THE national organization for pub
lie health nursing, of which Miss Ella
Phillips Crandall is executive secre-
tary, Is encouraging the establishment
Of more courses for the graduate
nurse who wishes to fit herself for
this special service. More is required
tina the nurses regular training be-
cause problems of applied sociology
and economics must be met, and COM
plete cooperation must be developed
with all other agencies in the COM
munity.
Hospitals which are properly
equipped to undertake this added re-
sponsibility m which are located in
communities where suitable field
work can be furnished by public
health nursing agencies under
adequate supervisors, are being urged
to establish courses for the under
graduate nurse, in order that the
period Of training be as short as pos
sible. Many young ONE are not
able to take the training necessary for
public health work without financial
help. The national organization,
therefore, seeks scholarships for these
courses.

A Discerning Reporter
Wilhelm Sized Up Pretty Well
Away Back In 1888.

A correspondent OF the New York
Sun sends to hat paper an item
which was printed in the New Mil
ford. Conn, Gazette in June, 1888.
On the face Of late returns it was a
fairly close guess, you might say.
Here is the item of 30 years ago:
Frederick III, emperor Of Germ
many and king of Prussia, died at
Potsdam in his 57th year last Friday,
June Is. His son., now in his 30th
year, succeeds to the crown. He ap-
pear to be a brutal, undutiful, i'm

Influenza Epidemic Increases
Demand for Public Health Nurses
In its battle with the influenza cpl
demic this nation has, lost $4,000

In its battle with the influenza cpl
demic this nation has, lost 1850
lives.
This Is the number Of deaths so
far reported to the United j, States
Public Health Service. It is far from
n total since during the first weeks
deaths from influenza were not re-
CURED to be reported.
One OF the ~outgrowths Of the ma
tton-wide struggle with this disease as
shown by reports reaching Washing
ton, is an increased demand for pub
dc health nurses who proved their
value during these last months as a
mean of checking epidemics by the
care Of the sick and the education of
the public.
The National Organization for Pub
lie Health Nursing and its War Pro-
gram committee with headquarters in
washington are putting forth every
effort to help meet this demand for
increase as reconstruction progresses.
h War Program committee was
formed a year ago to raise funds for
the increased activities Of the organi-
cation occasioned by the war and re-
construction.
Mrs. Chester c. Bolton of Cleve-
iAnd, who Is chairman of this COM
mtttee and directing Its work from
the Washington headquarters, is call
ing upon the state representatives of
the organization to use all possible
means to secure additional public
health nurses for their states by in
creasing the courses Of training open
to public health nurses and by secur-
ing scholarships for young women to
enable them to take these courses.
Mrs. Bolton in pointing out the i'm
mediate need for more public health
nurses states:
IAN already growing demand for
public health nurses has been in
creased by war conditions and en-
phasized by the epidemic of influenza.
The Importance of keeping our CT
william population in good health, be-
cause Of the need Of workers and for
the sake Of the morale of the nation
is brought out clearly in time of war,
while an epidemic illustrates con-
vincipgly the value Of preventive and
educational work which can be per-
formed by public health nursing. "A
community which employs public
health nurses is taught how diseases
are carried and how infection can be

To see the orchards come to bloom.
How glorious the blossoming

And looked upon a glorious youth
That once had lived for pleasures

Go forth to battle for the truth.
I've see the light Of fire divine
In eyes that n were dull and
Oh, privilege superbly fine!
I've seen the souls of men unfold.
I've seen men spurn the easier way
To tread the rugged heights OF
pain.

To worship One that shall remain.

To answer when the helpless cry.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Charges that
Germany is violating the terms of the

from the eastern front and transfer
ring them TO the western battle lines,
were made today by the war depart
ment
The war department made this
statement:
1.-THE general staff of the United
States army announces that the Ger
man military authorities are evading
the terms of the Russian truce which
provide that German troops were not
to be withdrawn from the eastern
front for use in the west. during the
peace negotiations. German troops
on the Russian front are being allowed
to go home on furloughs. These SOL
diers are then transferred to recruiting
stations and sent to the western front
The troops are taken in this way,
man by man for two reasons-first
because it deceives the Russians and
secondly because the eastern troops
have been to influenced by the Rus
sian revolutionary propaganda that
the German military chiefs have de-
cided to separate the men and scat
ter them in unaffected western regi-
n1ents."
