American detachment in the direction

with the soldiers in their hutS and
marched from NovoneZhino to the Kan

subject of conversation being their de-

The Americans are closely co-operat-

of the anti-bolshevik forces make the

The Russian civilians in this district
appear to be just about as greatly dis
liked by the Americans as the fighting
bolsheviki because it is known that
many villagers who had been believed
to be friendly took part in the Roma
novka attack. One elderly man who
was acting as sniper and was killed
very close to the American camp was
identified as a man who had professed
great friendship for the Americans.
Active measures against the bolshevik
depredations and attacks are being
taken by the American command.

by which that country perm,ts tne

Pressure overcomes Objections.

The French government mas loh@
abstained from action, first from
motives of production and, second,
to keep the exchange on the franc as
low as possible, but the feeling
against the continual increase IN
prices of nearly all essentials mas
become so great that the lifting or
import restrictions is practically IN
evitable, as only by importing ex-
tensivefy can France make the sup
ply meet the demand.

Doubt as to Relief Prospect.

Paris reports have indicated that
the Chinese delegates would sign the
treaty about to be concluded with
Austria in order to obtain entrance to
the league of nations, with the pur-
pose of placing China in a position
to demand of the league settlement
of her issues with Japan. Some mem
bers of the Peking cabinet, however.
re reported to have taken the view
that as the covenant requires the
unanimous action of the league coun-
Gil in such cases. and as the japanese
member of the council could not be
expected to consent to have the issue
raised, there would be no proba-
bility of relief for China in that
quarter.

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 10,
1875, to Its Proud Position in
the World In 1919.

The Stars and Stripes was raised
on the heights near Boston on Janu-
airy 10, 1776, and the British troops be-
lieved 1t to be evidence of submits
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag, the official flag, came later.
After the declaration of independ-
ence, July 4, 1870, the first salute to 1t
was given by the Dutch island of st.
Eustatlous in the West Indies by Jo-
names de Graft, commander of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union In 1854 two additional
stars were placed on the field, but
they were discarded after much de-
bate In congress and the original thir-
teen were restored in 1918.
The first flag that floated over for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January %, 177S. The first carried
to London was on a vessel February 3,
1888. 1t foated in China in 1884.
1t was carried around the world from
1887 to 1890. The first blood shed I'M
der 1t was in Ireland In 100 during a
mob riot over bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to 1t
given by an English vessel was in May,
1871.
One of Napoleon's generals remark
ed to the illustrious man that senti-
ment had no piece in the thought of
country. MAJ oleon replied: Sen
timent concerns what most enriches

WHAT FLAG MEANS TO ALL
Days of Sacrifice and Devotion Have
Made It Cause Of Pride to
Every American.

The flag means more to Americans
IN the year 1919 than it has ever meant
in our lives. And why? Not, surely,
because it is more familiar. Nor yet
because it floats over hosts of soldiers
and mighty fleets. There were soldiers
and fleets before. Not, therefore, be-
cause of its new part in the panoply
of war.
1t means more to us because we
have put more into it. Because, after
years of peace and plenty in which we
thought of our flag chiefly as some
thing to protect and guard US, we have
in time of war and grief and hardship
learned to know our flag as something
for us to protect and guard and serve.
flag, in short, is as great as its
people-and no greater. When they
are great and generous and coura-
geous, it is great and beautiful and
holy When they falter and haggle,
their flag is less than nothing to them,
as to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
In the greatest of causes Therefore
a source of pride and of deep emotion
to every American. That is the lesson
we are learning in these days of sacri-
fee and devotion, when flying bit OF
color becomes the most glorious and
joyous and sacred thing in the whole
wide world.-New York Tribune.
