Guide is Legislation Enacted by Con-

Washington, D. C., Sept 3.-Ques-
tions about the use Of service flags
pour in upon the war department.
These flags. although entirely unoni-
cial, have become prevalent through
out the land. Their use has caught
the popular fancy. Even war depart
ment officials, want to set their laccs
sternly against noyeneg. recognize
the splendid sentiment and ALIKE The
propriety of these emblems
In the very nature Of things the
service flags are unlikely TO be made
official. Around them, however, is
rapidly growing up a body of semi
official regulations. These have been
promulgated in semioilicial form and
apparently, are being quite generally
observed People in hundreds OF.
thousands Of households, whence have
gone persons to engage in the mill
tary and naval service hang the flags
from their windows, and many fly
them from their automobiles. The
desire to do these things according to
form undoubtedly prompts the many
inquiries to the war department.

orally regarded as entitled to repre-
sen;ation on service flags. This covers
complete recognition OF women, but is
not calculated to include persons in
reserve forces, until they are called
into and enter upon active duty. II
does not include state forces, such as
members OF the national guard not
federalized.
Apparently students in schools and
1 colleges under the recent amendment
10 the draft law viii be entitled TO
stars upon the service flags IN their
homes, but only when they have TAX

/ is no purpose to discount the splendid
work these organizations are doing,
GEN MacChesney says such repre-

spirit and purpose of the service flag
which was designed to be and has
been accepted by the peOple OF this
country as a means OF showing our
homage 10 those who have entered
the military and naval service in this
crisis" &T TiT
When the service flag is flown
from a home a husband. son, father
or brother may properly be represent
ed on il says Gen. MacChesney, even
though he did not actually leave from
that household directly TO 20 into the
service, but in the case of any more
distant relative he should actually be
a member OF he household where the
nag Is displayed and nave lef, for the
service directly from that household.

guest at the wedding, attended Mr.
Baird and said he had a slight con
