Mrs. Besants activities in India,
which led to her arrest as sedition-
ist, have cast some shade of suspi-
cion upon theosophy, in the minds
of the great bulk of people, who in
these times judge all things by the
touchstone of patriotism. To say
that theosophists in general are not
true to Great Britain would be un-
warrented and unfair: they are,
however, put into rather delicate
position by their loyalty to Mrs.
Besant, who strangely commingles
her India propaganda for self-gov-
ernment and her esoteric teachings.
After the war, when public events
Of certain sort may be written

Christian Science Growing.
One other phase Of Britian's war
time religious development, apart
from the conventional life OF the
churches, is the extention OF
Christian Science. 1t is grouped
with the two new forms of express
sion already mentioned because it is
not denomination of orthodox
Christianity. That it should grow
luxuriantly in the story soil of Bri-
tish conservation is surprise to an
investigator. Yet there are in
London today eight Christian
Science churches, and their develop

progress found in the same body in
America.
Christian Science has not made an

religious unrest has contributed
largely to the development OF the
new Science organizations.
Converts for Catholicism.
The one religious body in Britain,
aside from Christian Science, which |
has made definite progress during
the war is the Roman Catholic
Church. Interviews with its leaders,
clerical and lay, show that the
Church is not only holding its own
and finding them respon

BATHING FIRST WAS
 THOUGHT A LUXURY
(Chica gO ,JOurnaD

Bathing in most of it's modern forms is as old as the beginning Of the world
 While the baths of the Greeks were distinguished by a rigid simplicity, the Persians exercised their ingenuity and taste in luxurious adornment Of these places. Alexander the Great scars into verbal rhapsodies over the beauteous decorations of the baths used by the conquered and fugitive Darius.
 But to the fine example of the Ro- mans, during the days of the Caesars, is due the style of bathing indigenous to the life of these In the beginning g the Romans, after exercise. simply plunged into the Tiber, but with the construction of an aqueduct that car ried water from the river into the city were introduced the small public baths, originated by Cloudius. Mecaenas built several fine public baths at his own expense. and from his time each ruler made effort to improve upon the eX- amples of his predecessors in the con Struction of Greece's buildings, not merely bathing rooms, but gymnasia reading halls and libraries: Agrippa, Nero, Titus, Domitian, Dionysius Commodus and Diocletian outdoing each other in this always potent bid for popular favor.
 The Roman baths, according to Tac- tius and Suetonius, contained swim ming pools. Vapor rooms and hot aiI rooms constructed very much on the line of the Turkish and Russian baths of today, the parallel being completed by the employment of servants, whose duty it was to anoint bathers with 6 pulpy soapy substance, or with oils ant pomades.
 The swimming and hot air baths O Rome and other Italian cities gradually falling into disuse. were maintained il full force in Egypt and Turkey. tn, custom gradually spreading to France Germany and England.

England owes the reviva about the middle of the eighteenth cen turY, of sea bathing, which, from tn time of the SaXons had fallen into dis | use, and from this custom dates tn wholesome love of the English for col, water bathing.

WIVES WANT ID
 BE NEAR THEIR
 SOLDIER HUSBANDS
Special to The Republican,


 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Wives who want to be near their soldier husbands have become one of the biggest problems for the American Red Cross. It is l.o affair of the Red Cross workers if the wives have sufficient money to care for them selves, but scores of them are spend ing the entire family nest egg on railway tickets from one camp to another and have nothing left for living expenses.
 Our change from peace to a war footing apparently has dazed hun dreds of the women folk and their only thought is that as long as pos sible they must be near their soldier husbands before they go to France" said C. J. O'Connor, director of civilian relief for the Pacific division, American Red Cross, yesterday. Sensible women, distracted by the turn of affairs. have packed up and left home without thought of fi hances.
 The Red Cross stands ready and willing to aid every family left in need by the departure of the bread earner for war service, but this aid will not be given properly if the wives do not consult their local chapter of the American Red Cross before departing for one of the can tonments. Each Red Cross chapter has set aside a certain amount out of the funds raised locally to be eX pended in caring for families of sol diers in their own districts, but if the wives assemble iL great numbers near the camps. the burden becomes ha ind pl,0 re in whose jurisdiction the camps are be overlooked.
 One instance has been reported l from San Diego, where wife first moved to be near her husband at 1 American Lake and when he was | transferred to Camp Kearney si Linda Vista, she followed him. She | had spent $62 for carfare and when found in San Diego was having ole 1 scant meal a day and her husband 1 was compelled to walk r miles tC be with her, because he did not have l carfare. San Diego has reported 8 | such cases that are being cared fol | by the San Diego chapter of the American Red Cross.
 Where necessary. the Red Cros: pays rent, buys food, clothing ant fuel and tends to all necessities 0 the soldiers family, but the onl! way that this care can be asked i by getting in touch with the loca chapter of the American Red Cross
 The Home service is expected t be one of the most importan branches of the American Red Cros work in the mouths to come, ant the increase in demands is show by the records of the Pacific division for october, November and Decem
 Der. In October. an incomplete lis shows 211 families were provides for In November, there were 31 cases and the December total vii be much greater than either of tn former months. In California alone S4.592.7S was expended by tn American Red Cross for needy fami lies of soldiers during the month 0 November.

WHEN THE FLAG HAD
 FIFTEEN STRIPES
(Milwaukee Free Press ]

Most persons, if asked when the United States flag had more than thir- teen stripes, would answer promptly Never" And if told that the Star Spangled Banner that flew over Fort McHenry when Francis Scott Key wrote the national anthem had fifteen stripes they would scoff. For most of us have forgotten that after Vermont and Kentucky had been admitted as the fourteenth and fifteenth states. con eress on May l. 17S5. enacted a law providing that the flag be fifteen stripes.
 The story ffsthis almost forgotten change in the flag is told by Philip R. Dillon in The United States Flag" just published by the American Pen man. This fifteen striped flag flew for twenty three years, including the war of 1872, for it was not until March 4, 1918, that congress enacted the law which fixes the form of the flag for all time as having thirteen horizontal read and white stripes and a blue union to which one star is added for every new state that is admitted.
