BLACK BAND AND GOLD
& STAR FOR MOURNING

"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.

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?

the authority recently conferred
by congress. President Wilson issued
. a proclamation taking all telephone

*""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

Burleson and provided that until
otherwise decided, the present managements
and employes will continue.
Present financial arpan^o.
