UNDER THREE FLAGS.
(By Barton Blake)
American Red Cross, 4 Place de la
Concorde, Paris, Feb. 8—When Ger
many plunged the world in war. the
Lnited States waited—hoping against
hope—but there were some Americans
who did not wait.
You found them, here and there, in
the ranks of the British army, among
the Canadians, and in the Foreign Le
gion of France.
You found them, too, soldiers of hu
manity, driving ambulances behind
the French front and feeding the men
women, and children of Belgium un
der the very ^shadow of German au
thority and relentlessness.
Today, though its work has not
stopped, the Commission for Relief in
Belgium must do without the service
of the Americans in the field. Other
| neutrals have been found to take
j their places. The question has been
J asked: What has become of the
! American field workers of the Com
mission for Relief in Belgium?
I have seen some of them—in
France. They who once had to work
under the German flag, are now
proudly working under the flags of
the two republics. They are inside the
line.
One of them, Edward Evre Hunt, the
former delegate for the province ot
Antwerp, is now chief of the bureau
of rehabilitation and relief of the
American Red Cross in France. He
has at least four of his old associates
working in that bureau. L. C. Welling
ton, who used to care for the welfare
of the people of Eille and Valen
I ciennes and the Belgian proVin&e’ of
Luxemburg as representative of the
Commission for relief in Belgium, is
| now- in charge of the Arras district as
j representative, of the American Red
Cross, where he can almost see the
' very towns for which he cared in Bel
gian commission days. W. B. Jack
son, whose work for the commission
was at Liege, is now deputy for the
Somme district in France. D. S. Mor
gan, likewise at Liege, is with Mr
Jackson. F. W. Meert, an American
whose father was born in Belgium but
became an American citizen, was a
student of medicine at Louvain when
the war broke out. He acted for the
Relief Commission in Brabant. He is
now one of Mr. Hunt’s aids in his Red
Cross work of relief and rehabilitation,
as is J. L. Simpson, whose Belgian ex
perience took him to Vervin, Antwerp,
Liege and Brussels.
As time goes on, more of France and
Belgium will be “uncovered” (as Red
Cross workers put it in their unvarn
ished conversations) and the soldiers
ot humanity will advance behind the
bayonets to repair the wreck of war.
They will help, not just to keep life
In the inhabitants of FYance and Bel
gium, as formerly, but to make Bel
gium and France whole again—and
more than ever themselves. It is not
a charity they are working—but they
are co-operating with the people of
these lands to make a fresh start, as
the Germans are little by little got rid
of—^nd what a drama it will be when
pome of the American workers actu
ally reach the very places they were
formerly working in under the Ger
man flag—but under the German flag
no more!

WILL CIN Slit HUT -
ON PHIOILOFF IMS
AA’hile on her last trip to the Pribi
loff island the steamer Roosevelt
landed a complete outfit for canning
seal meat there. Although seal live
mainly on fish' their flesh does not
have a fishy flavor.
The meat is taken from the should
ers and a three-year-old bull will yield
flty to Bixty pounds of choice flesh
All parts of the seal carcass will be|
utilized for commercial purposes.;
Even the entrails will be used for
making a high grade of soft learner.
The lining of the throat makes a very
thin tough leather. This year will wit
ness the unrestricted killing of seals
j for the first time since 1910.
-«.
Another 150 men were recently
| dropped off the payroll of the Alaskan
| engineering commission at Anchorage,
according to reports from that sec
tion. This was done in order to re
duce all expenses on the government
railroad in that division.
