Epperawn, No. . 18-- B ABUSE OF THE SERVICE FLAG The service flag is an unofficial tribute to the men who are following the colors1 of their country on land and sea, but the abuse of this flag has prompted the judge advocate generals department with the approval of the adjutant general of the army to draft regulations for its use. Briefly, these regulations, that are suggestive and not mandatory, provide that only those who are serving in some branch of the army or navy are entitled to a star. Instances are not infrequent where the distinction of a star has been given to men whose only claim is that ' they are working for the government. This practice will bring tle beautiful idea of the service flag into utter disrepute ah3 make those really entitled to it disinclined to display it. It does an Injustice to our fighting forces that is properly resented. , To display a star that does not represent the potential sacrifice of life in the naval or military service of the country is as flagrantly vicious in taste as to wear a distinguished, service medal or a Vivtoria Cross that Is not backed by the heroic deeds of its wearer.

C. Walcott, now connected with the United States food administration, W'ho was assistant to - Mr, Hoover while, America was feeding Belgium, Behind and northern France. In one of these statements Mr. Wal- cott eays: . Even now I find It hard to describe in comprehensible terms the mind of official Germany, which dominates and shapes alt German thought and action. Yet it is as hard, as clear-cuas real as any material thing. I saw it in Boland, I saw the sajne thing In I heard of It in Serbia and For weeks it was always before me, always the same. Officers talked freely, frankly, directly. All the staff officers have the same view. Let me try to tell 1U ns General Ton Riles told me. In Poland, in the midst of a dying nation. Germany is destined to rule the world, or at least a great part of It. The German people are so much human material for building the German state, other people da not count All is fpr the glory and might of the German state. The lives of human beings are' to be conserved only If It makes for the atatoa advancement, their lives are to be sacrificed if it Is to- the states advantage. Tlie state Is all, the people are nothing. tonquered people signify little In the German account. Life,; liberty, happiness, human sentiment, family ties, grace and genetous Impulse, these have no place beside the one concern, the greatness of the German state. Starvation must excite no pity; sympathy must not be allowed, if It hampers the main design of promoting Germany's ends. Starvation Is here, said Geneyal von Krles, Candidly, we would like to ace it relieved; we fenr our soldiers may be unfavorably affected by the But since It Is things that they here, starvation must serve our purpose. So we set it to work for Germany. By starvation we can accomplish in two or three years ItUEast Boland more than we' have In West Boland, which is East Prussia, in the last hundred years.. With that In view,, we propose to turn this force to our advantage. This country is meant for Germany. continued the keeper of starvit Is a rich alluvial ing Boland, which country Germany has needed for snihe generations. We propose to d remove the working Boles from this country. It leaves it open for the inflow of German working people as fast as we can spare them. They will occupy It and work it. Theft with, u euuuiug smile, Cant you see ho ,v it works out? By and by we shall give buck freedom to Boland, When that happens Boland will appear automatically as a German province." lu Belgium, General von ' Risking told me exactly the same thing. If the relief of Belgium breaks down we can force Bur imlttHrial population into Germany tlirouh starvation and colonize oilier Belgians fit Mesopotamia where we have planned large irrigation works; Germans will then overrun Belgium. Then when the war is over ayd freedom is given back to Belgium, it will bo a German Belgium that is restored. Belgium will be a German province and we have Antwerp which is what we are after."

C. Wal- cott At a conference of field men of the United States food administration held In Washington, F. 0. Walcott pictured conditions as he had found them In the countries invaded by German arms. Mr. Waleott served with Mr. Hoover on the Belgium relief commission when this nution was attempting to feed the starving civilian population of Belgium, Boland and northern France. In his address he had pictured such conditions as he said he could not believe unless he liad seen the situation through and through, and had lived with It for weeks. He showed these terrible conditions to be the result of deliberate plans on the part of official Germany, and In summing up he said : Such Is the German mind as It was disclosed to me la several weeks contact with officers of the staff.
