WATCH THE CROWS
RED CROSS SERVICE
FLAG IS UNIQUE
A Single Star of Blue Marks the
Flag That Represents 19,
877 Red Cross Nurses.
Among all the service flags flown in
America in the past two years, says
a special dispatch from Atlanta, Ga.,
to the Asheville Citizen, one flag is
unique. Upon it burns a single star
of blue; the others are all gold, 198
of them.
The flag hangs in the marble build
ing of the American Red Cross na
tional headquarters in Washington.'
The single . blue star represents the
19,877 Red Cross nurses m active duty
with the army and navy nurse corps
and the Red Cross during the war.
The gold stars represent the Red
Cross dead.
The first two were sewn on the flag
in memory of Mrs. Edith B. Ayres
and Miss Helen Burnett Wood, of
Chicago, both of whom were killed by
the explosion of a defective shell on
the Steamship Mongolia in May 1917,
while on their way to France.
The last star on the flag is for Jane
A. Delano, the "Florence Nightingale
of the war," who directed the Ameri
can Red Cross nursing service and
sleeps today with the American dead
in the military cemetery at Savenay,
France.
The other 195 stand for nurses who
rest today in the soils of many lands
America, England, Belgium, i ranee,
even Germany, where a white cross
marks the grave of Jessie Baldwin,
Summerville, Pa., who was cited for
extraordinary heroism when her hos
pital was shelled and later, going
with the army of occupation, died at
Coblenz.
Officials at the general hospital at
Fort McPherson attribute much of
heir success in the treatment of
psychiatric patients to the gardens j
maintained by the wounded veterans
under Red Cross supervision.
Four o'clocks. mornins: elories,
phlox, petunias, daisies and hydran
geas vie with the more stable corn,
Irish potato and tomato. Practically
every flower and every species of gar
den truck is grown by the patients,
who have manifested the keenest in
terest in their "farms."
"These erardens have been a pleas
ant surprise to us in more ways than
one," said Leon R. Meadows, hospital
service director for the ced cross,
"for not only do the boys shake every
vestige of moodiness and depression
out in the sunlight but they are able
to keep themselves supplied with
fresh vegetables that help out appre
ciably. And, thoughful as is their
wont they daily send the Red Cross
personnel at the fort a big basket
heaped high with good things to eat
gathered from the gardens."
SUGAR SHORTAGES
CAN'T BE RELIEVED
Sugar shortages now experienced in
many parts of the country cannot be
relieved for some time to come, Geo.
A. Zabriskie, president of the United
States Equalization Board, said in a
letter received by Senator Hitchcock,
Democrat, Nebraska.
"The demand is enormous, and
largely in excess of refiners' ability to
supply it at tms time, saia mr. za
briskie. "Complaints regarding the
sugar shortage come from all sections
of the country, and we fear it will be
practically impossible to relieve the
situation for some time to come."
Sugar from old beet crops, Mr.
Zabriskie added, is practically ex
hausted and shipments from the West
Indies have been "seriously embar
rassed" by the marine strike.

GERMAN SOLDIERS KILL
AN AMERICAN PRIVATE
American Killed While Deer
Hunting in Neutral Zone
Near Coblenz 'Bridgehead.
Private Reass Madsen, of Sacra
mento, Cal., was shot and instantly
killed Saturday by German soldiers
in the neutral zone about a mile from
the boundary of the Coblenz bridge
head. c Madsen and Private Bert "Balsing
er, of the eighth infantry, who had
been on outpost duty, were deer hunt
ing when they encountered a German
patrol of 13 soldier. According to
Balsinger, the Germans began firing
without asking an explanation as to
why the two Americans were in the
neutral zone.
Balsinger told the American au
thorities that when he and Madsen
encountered the Germans he was sev
eral yards ahead of Madsen. Bal
singer said he dropped his rifle as
soon as he saw the Germans who a
second afterwards began to shoot at
Madsen. The Germans contend that
Madsen fired at them. Baisinger de
clared that the Germans fired first
and that if Madsen had fired he did
not see him shoot or hear the shot.
Balsinger was taken prisoner by the
Germans and later turned over to the
American provost marshal, Maj. Geo.
Cockrell and brought to Coblenz.
DEATH OF MRS. SID THOMAS
Mrs. Sid Thomas passed away last
Friday morning at the home of her
sister-in-law, Mrs. W. T. Austin, hav
ing been brought here several weeks
ago from her Black Mountain home
when it was realized that her condi
tion was serious and that she could
not recover. She had been ill for
several months, never having recov
ered from an attack of influenza last
winter.
Mrs. Thomas was before her mar
riage Miss Lillie Gibbs, a daughter of
the late Joshua Gibbs, one of the lead
ing citizens of Linville township in
his day, and the family one of the
most respected in that section. She
was a quiet, home-loving woman, a
model housewife and devoted to ev
ery duty of home and church.
The funeral service was held at the
Austin home Saturday afternoon at
one o'clock, conducted by Rev. N. M.
Modlin and interment made in Forest
Hill cemetery.

THE PEACE TREATY IS
SENT TO THE SENATE
The German peace treaty, six
months in the making, was returned
to the senate yesterday by the foreign
relations committee along with a ma
jority report containing amendments
to the treaty and reservations to its
league of nations covenant.
The treaty goes back to the sen
ate exactly two months to the day
from the date it was laid before the
body by President Wilson. Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, ranking
Democratic member of the commit
tee, will present a minority report
within the next two days and general
debate will begin Monday to continue
almost without interruption until final
action is taken.
Pending this move, which will has
ten final consideration by the senate
of the whole question of peace with
Germany, advocates and opponents of
the league generally rested in antici
pation of the big battle to begin next
week. There were several informal
conferences at which members endeav
ored to reach a compromise over the
form of reservations, and Senator
Spencer, Republican, Missouri, speak
ing against the league, declared he
would be forced to vote to reject the
treaty as it now stands.
Senators Johnson, California, Bo
rah, Idaho, McCormick, Illinois, all
Republican opponents of league, left
yesterday for Chicago on the trail of
the President, to speak against it
STATE WILL HAVE
ANOTHER CLEAN-UP
Aid of Citizens Asked to Assist
in Work Dates Week of
October 5th to 11th.
Each annual recurrence of spring
and fall seasons brings its clean-up
campaigns for the State and the Na
tion, and North Carolina has by her
past records of effective observance
won an especially high place among
the States. This clean-up week falls
on October 5-11, with fire prevention
day, October 9. and forces are being
marshaled by Insurance Commission
er and Fire Marshal James R. Youn
for a drive for ciean-up week observ-
ance that will invade not only every
county and community in the State,
but every home and place of business
and manufacturing plant.
In this work, which must be done
during the next 30 days to assure this
thorough observance of clean-up

county and town authorities will have
an active and most responsible part in

there are coming from many quarters
of the State assurances from minis
ters and other church workers that
the churches will give every possible
aid, in many instances pastors ap
pealing to their congregations from
the pulpit with special sermons or
otherwise to take advantage of this
clean-up movement, the old say
ing, "Cleanliness next to Godliness,"
being ample warrant for every
possible effort in this direction by
the religious forces of the State.

The stern-faced soldier was not
proof against tribute of praise which
was roared from hundreds of thou

His voice trembled with emotion
as he responded to the greetings ex

in his own behalf and that of the
President as well as the welcoming
addresses of representatives of the
senate and house, the btate ana city.
As his car passed slowly througn
the - cheering multitude which jam

the city hall. Pershing attempted in
vain to maintain his composure. At
first he replied to the cheers with the
stiff salute which military etiquette
demands, but he was soon carried
away by the storm of applause which
swept in srreat gusts about him. Ris
ing to his feet he waved his cap about
his head with a boyish gesture which
told how deeply he was stirred while
the grim lines of his bronzed face
broke into a smile.
New York did not exhaust its wel

will ride down Fifth avenue at the
