Firms
HAVE ODD BANNER
THE DEVICE RESEMBLES GREEN
SHAMROCK ON ORANGE
BACKGROUND

ARCHANGEL, July 7.-One of
the strangest flags ever designed
was adopted a while age by a regi-
ment of Karelain Firms serving with
the allied forces on the Thurman
railway line near KEN, Russian Lap
land.
The flag, designed, it is said, by
request of the Karelains, who have
ambitions to form an Independent
state, included the national color
of the Karelains, a bright orange
and their national flower, the Kare-
lain clover.
The result was a startling re-
semblance to green shamrocks upon
an orange background. The Rus
sian government caused the flag to
be hauled down as 1t did not, at
that time, approve Karelain indie
pendence.

BISHOP STARTS
ON LONG TRIP
HEADS OF EPISCOPAL CHURCH
IN ALASKA TO VISIT
OUTPOSTS

JUNEAU, Alaska, July 5.-Far
away outposts of the English
church in isolated interior and
coast points of Alaska are being
visited this summer by two Episco-
pal church officials-the Ri. Rev.
Peter Trimble Rowe, bishop OF
Alaska, and Archdeacon Hudson
Stuck, deacon of the Yukon.
The ensign of the cross has been
planted by these two men at many
points in this northland, from the
south to Point Barrow, the corner
of the continent and around the
coast fringing the Arctic. Aided by
a faithful band of men and women
workers they have welded together
a great chain of missions and are
known throughout Alaska for their
tireless work of carrying the work
of the gospel into the far lands.
Their arrival in the camps and mis-
sions will be the signal for welcome
festivities.
Rev. Mr.. Rowe is known to his
friends as 1.-The Bishop of All Out
DOORS" He has been laboring in
Alaska since his appointment as
bishop in 1895, several years even
before the gold rush drew thousands
here in search of wealth. Bishop
Rowe has covered thousands and
thousands of northern miles, by dog
team in winter and by river boats
in summer. Shooting rapids, break
ing trails, "mushing" for mile on
mile in the half light of winter are
all old experiences to him. Bishop
Rowe makes his home in Seattle.
Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, writer,
tourist, mountain climber and au-
thority on matter Alaskan. makes his
home at the Episcopal mission and
hospital at Fort Yukon, Alaska.

MINE RESCUE CONTEST
TO Be HELD IN
P|TTSBURG
EFFORTS TO SAVING
OF LIFE

WASHINGTON, d. c., July q
That America can bind her wounds
as skillfully as she can fight will
be shown in the great national first
aid and mi~ne-rescue contest to be
held under the auspices of the Blu
rea of Mines, department of the in
terror, at Pitsburg, Pa, September
so and October 1.
With the event still more than
three months away it reaches the
Bureau of Mines. that coal and
metal miners all over the country
are engaging in first-aid and mine
recue contests to fit themselves for
the national demonstration. In 16
different mining states, local or
state meets have already been held
or will be held In the near future.
1t is estimated that out of the
million miners in the United States
more than a hundred thousand are
we'll trained in emergency first-aid
work and have been instrumental in
saving many lives in and around
mines. 1t is said to be a frequent
occurrence for hospital surgeons
upon receiving an injured miner to
declare that the first-aid treatment
received in the mine from the
miners had undoubtedly saved the
mans life.
These first-aid teams are scat
tered throughout the United States
where mines are found, and are the
results of the pioneer work of the
Bureau of Mines in maintaining a
mine-rescue car or station in each of
the mining fields for the purpose OF
training these men.
In addition to this work. the bu-
Areau's experts teach the miners how
z to save life in mines, and especially
the use of the oxygen m~ine-rescue
apparatus hat permits the wearer,
after a mine explosion or disaster
to enter the deadly atmosphere
there with comparative safety, and

m~ine-rescue teams, located at the
various mines, are also to partici,

which is characterized here as dis
tinctly a revolutionary step in oper-

but it substitutes for them symbolic

RED CROSS IS CARING
FOR RUMAN|AN
CHILDREN
TOTS BECOME REAL CHILDREN
WITH BATHING AND
CLOTHES

BUCHAREST, July 3.-The chill
dren of Rumania are the special
care of the American Red Cross
nurses who are showing Rumanian
mothers how to care properly for
them. They are distributing in
fants' clothing, condensed milk, tai
cum powder, soap and everything
that contributes to a baby's COM
fort. In this field of relief work
the efforts of the Americans already
have shown remarkable results. The
condition of the children has been
wonderfully improved.
The Red Cross workers found the
children in all these war-affected
towns in a pitiful state of impOv-
erishment.. Many of them were
slowly dying of starvation. Others
had pellagra and malignant skin
diseases. The little ones are now
being cared for and given nourish-
ment and f~attening foods, such as
bacon, jam, cOd-liver oil, etc. They
have shown wonderful improvement
since the Americans came.
All these children have been un-
der the stress and strain of war for
four years and have really never
known what childhood is. In COM
mon with their parents, they have
borne the keenest privations and
sufferings. Since Rumania entered
the war they have not known what
it Is to play or to laugh. Hunger
has robbed them of that spirit. The
war has blighted their lives. No
smiles have come to their faces. no
happiness into their hearts. They
are like flowers which have never
seen the sunshine. Their wan,
pinched little -countenances tell a
tragic story. They have had neither
proper food, shelter nor clothing.
Many of them have lost either one
or both parents.
The Red Cross gives them Ameri-
can jam and sweets, the things that
youngsters the world over crave for,
and their dark eyes. frank and mel
ancholy. light up with a new radi-
ance. They become children again.
