THE RED CROSS EMBLEM.

The double barred Red Cross, I'M
der which sign the nationwide cam
paig~ against tuberculosis is being
conducted is not only of historical val
ne, but has two-fold significance. 1t
is a combination of the Croix de Lor-
aine and the cross of the Greek Ca
tholic church, both of which are sym
bolic of charity and help to human
ity. The combination was effected
TO be the symbol of the hope of civil.
ization.
The emblem of the worlds fight
against tuberculosis has been in use
for II years, and was adopted in
1902, when the International Associ-
alton met in Berlin, upon suggestion
of DR.. G. Sesiron of Paris. In 1906
when the National tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION was formed, and for the IL
intervening years the double barred
Red Cross has been carried into the
remotest corner of the United States
as an emblem of hope.
1t would be difficult to tell all the
things which this beautiful emblem
considered by the worlds greatest ar
lists to contain the most perfect pro-
portions and to be the most striking
figure ever used for symbolic pur-

It has created more than 600 institc

about; it has promoted legislation
which has lessened the danger of dis

600 beds for tuberculosis patients. 1t
has heralded international gather

a thousand anti-tuberculosis associ-
atoms in the country; it appears on
the head dress and arm band of the
visiting nurses; millions of school
children over the country have learn
ed health rules under it's guidance. 1t

"SCRAP Of PAPER" IN
PEACE FARLEY EARLY
Treaty Guaranteeing Belgian Neu.
trality to Be Considered
in Paris.

PARIS, January 1.-The famous
treaty which Germany designated as
a scrap Of paper" win como up for
early consideration before the peace
congress This is the treaty made in
1880 when the great powers Of Eu-
rope recognized Belgium as being
separate from Holland and guaran-
teed the neutrality of Belgium.
It was the disregard of this neu-
trality and the invasion Of Belgium
by the German troops which brought
Great Britain into the war.
The Belgian parliament recently
adopted unanimously resolution ask
ing for the establishment of the in
dependent sovereignty CT Belgium
and the abandonment Of the guaran-
tee of neutrality. The resolution
adopted by the parliament was in re-
Spouse to the speech from the throne
made by King Albert when he re-
entered Brussels.
After expressing gratitude to the
nations aiding in the deIiverance OF
Belgium, the resolution says:
"The tragic and glorious hours
which Belgium has experienced give
it the right to free itself from the
ties which in the past limited it:
sovereignty and enervated it's inter
national action. Belgium will thu:
pass to the rank OF the great powers
which are mistreSses OF their des'
TIMES"
Incidentally Germany's designatio,
of the treaty as a "scrap Of paper
involves the general question of es
tabliShing some means of guarantee
ing the inviolability OF treaties.

CABLES OVERCROWDED,
SAYS GEORGE CREEL
Chairman of Committee on Public

commenting today, before his depar-
ture for Rome, on reports in Congress
and the American press Of govern
mental control over the cable trans
mission of press dispatches, said:
THE only rationing done is by the
cable companies themselves. They are
unable to handle all the business
which is coming their way"
In simplifying his statement, cabted
previously, that he wished to have
nothing to do with the representatives
of the press after reaching Europe.
Mr.. Creel recalled the fact that before
depa rtins from Washington he said
he would have no connection with the
work Of the American newspapers
correspondents in Europe.
This still stands" he continued
My sole contact has been personal
and cooperative
Mr.. Creel said he was engaged in
closing the Offices in Europe of the
committee on public information and
winding up its affairs.
Our remaining task" he added, SIS
to bring the new Balkan states into
quick contact with American thought
and purpose. The whole world is
acquainted with the ideas of President
Wilson and the American democracy,
but we have had no opportunity,
owing to war conditions, to dis
seminate American opinion into these
new countries
when that work is done I am
through. That will be about the
middle of February. I intend to
return to the United States at about
that time, and am going back to
writing along the same social and
political lines that I did years ago"
