A Flag of Fragrant Memory.

The Unknown Soldier of France, who
sleeps forever beneath the Arc de Trf-
omphe, is to have a special flag all his
own. according to Paris dispatches.
There are more than half thousand
veterans and patriotic associations COM

cation which each evening conducts the
impressive little ceremony of relighting,

No announcement is yet forthcom-
ing as to the design; probably 1t has
not yet been passed upon or possibly

Republic for whose honor the Unknown
gave his life will undoubtedly be prom

somewhere the newly created flag will
bear a cross, notwithstanding the wick
edneSs. the waste and the entirely un-
Christlike aspects Of war. Each OF
the struggling nations in the great con-
fiict was sure that the Lord was on its
side. Now it is apparent that He was
on the side neither of victor nor van-
Quished. Nevertheless. there is a close
connection between patriotism and re-
ligion: war-torn banners are hung in
lofty cathedralS; the Unknown who
went to his death in defense Of his be-
loved country doubtless went cheerfully
and was fighting for what he was con-
vinced was the right.

Weather and Wires.

A belated touch of Winter reached
Omaha yesterday. and for several hours
isolated it. All wires were borne down
BY heavy snow and wind. Save for
radio the Nebraska metropolis was cut
OF from all communications from the
outside world. Traffic was blocked, the
plight of the city could not be COM
municated and for q brief period there
was acute suffering. Had this occurred
In Midwinter a very grave situation
would have developed. but fortunately,
coming so late in the season the snow
quickly melted, and within q short time
the wires were again coupled and the
life of Omaha flowed on as usual.
This happening in Omaha is a re-
mmder of that which befell Washing
ton q little more than nineteen years
ago, when on the eve of the inagura-
ton of President Taft veritable bliZ-
sard swept over this region and buried
the Capital Every telegraph and tele-
phone wire leading out of the city was
broken. In many cases the poles were
snapped of close to the ground. Thou
sands OF people were msrooned on their
way to Washington to attend the cere-
monies Some of them who had reached
the city were unable to leave the Union
Station, then newly in service. A tempo
rary wire connection was made with
the South. and the news Of the inaugu-
ration and of the plight of the city was
carried by that means in a roundabout
route through the Southern States.
That was before the days of radio.
Had there then been such means of
communication Washington would not
have been cut of as 1t was. At Omaha,
however. the radio was available, and
the tidings of the extraordinary hap
pening were carried forth by that
means. The damage by the storm to
the telephone lines around Omaha Is
estimated at 100000.
In the case of the 1909 blizzard this
city suffered especially from the falling
of poles and wires within the urban
limits, for then most of the conductors
were aerial. Heavy lines Of telegraph
wires were borne down. Some Of the
poles did serious damage in falling.
This experience gave decided stimulus
to the process of wire burial, which
had been started. Cross-country wires,
however, were restored on poles. but at
lower heights than before, this change
lessening the risk Of destruction in
stress of weather.
The time may come when all wires,
even across the great stretches Of coun-
try, win be buried. if. indeed, the wire
remains as the major means Of COM
munication. Until O method Of selec-
tive service by radio Is developed. how
ever, the wire must remain as the link
Of communication, and In view of the
heavy risk of disruption incident to
severe weather II Is probable that ef-
fort win be made TO increase the per-
centage Of conduit services as an insur-
ance against the complete isolation OF
communities.
