**V PAGE TWO BLACK BAND AND GOLD & STAR FOR MOURNING i, i "Woman's <'??i?n?iitof Council of Nntional Defense Make This lteeoiuiuemlation. A black band with.a gold star has ( been recommended by the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense, to be worn instead 01 mourning by American women who have lost members of their family in 4ho ,k?? .... ? v"~" *?"??* The action of the committee at this time is prompted by a feeling on their part that we should determine before hand the attitude we are to take towards the inevitable growing death roll of the defenders of oui country. The wearing of such in-' signa will, they feel, express better than mourning the feeling of the American people that such losses are a matter of glory rather than of prostrating grief and depression. President Wilson has approved the resolution of the woman's com-| mittee in the following letter to its chairman Dr. Anna Howard Shaw; v The White House, Washington, J.!ay 22, 1918. My Dear Dv. Shaw: Thank you for your letter of yesterday. I do entirely approve of the action taken by the woman's committee in expressing, in executive, session, namely that a three inch band should be worn upon which a 'fcilt star may be placed for each member of the family whose life is lost in the service, and that the bgnd shall be worn on the left arm I hope and believe that thoughtful * people everywhere will approve of tfiis action and I hope that you will be kind enough to make the sugges% v tion of the committee public with the statement that it has my cordial endorsement. Cordially and sincerely yours, (Signedt Woodrow Wilson. w For a long time the woman's com luuK i- ii'-'-u n-cwi>iug idlers from women urging some such ae' tion op their part. The determined avoidance of mourning hy English women has been much commented, on and praised. One woman who h advocates this stop has four sons in w the service, one of them has already been killed. She wrote recently: "I know the costliness of such supremo k glory and sacrifice, and have felt f both the selfish temptation to hide my pain behind a mourning that would hold off intrusion, and the inspiration and stimulus of keeping up my gallant son's expectation that I should regard his death as a happy promotion into higher service. Pa. triotlsm means such exalted living thst dying is not the harder part." The insigna which has been ehosen by the woman's committee is ' of a kind that can be readily made at home wit of whatever material the. ^"tic procured. The band is * to be black and three inches wide? 4 the stars gilt, .ivd 'to- foi <-.ic!i member of the family who has lost his life in the service. These stars may he gold, of gilded metal, of satin or , of cloth. The design will not be patented, and the insigna will never become a commercial article. i ' * i MR. BURLESON PLACED X IN CONTROL OF WIRES 0 President Issues Prorlamaf ion Tnkr. Ing Over Systems, Effective Wednesday, .Inly '^1. * . Washington, July 25.?Acting iin--tier the authority recently conferred by congress. President Wilson issued . a proclamation taking all telephone /^rmTtelegraph lines under governf *""r~ inent operation and control at mid^ night. Wednesday, July 24. Although congress empowered hitn to do so. the President did not in elude wireless systems, because the navy already is in control of them; , and he also did not include ocean cables, presumably because contracts the cable companies have with foreign governments on whose shores they land, contain clauses respecting government operation which raised ' ' ^Involved questions. The navy already is in practical control of the cables through its censorship. + The President's proclamation placed administration of the wire systems with Postmaster General Burleson and provided that until otherwise decided, the present managements and employes will continue. Present financial arpan^o. nients also will continue with the approval of the postmaster general., In a statement accompanying the President'* proclamation.
