You can perfectly picture it if you,
in your early youth, passed through
the recelving office of a private

and polished. Here are welcomed, and

highways and byways of life. Here
they are impressed with the dignity

. In_accordance with the ruling of
. the President, who some days ago di
rected that all federal buildings,
throughout the country, fly' the ‘flag
of Italy, in honor of that nation’s par
ticipation in the war against the
Hun, the 313th Regiment had erected
at its headquarters a large flagpole -
on which the flag-of Italy waved on
last Friday. This was an emblem to

of the beginning of Italy’s struggle
against the common foe.

Last week was full of entertaining
features. “Mrs. Burgess sang for the
boys: two evenings and®received a

Mrs. Burgess with their familiarity
with several of her numbers. The
~ Temple Quartet gave a fine &ro:ram
on Tuesday n:rht, and the Bth Bat

door theater attracted some 2,000 on
WQd;;ead;y night. . One of the treats
of the week was the appearance of
the Manhattan Quartet on Saturday
night. The boys couldn’t get enough
“of this quartet's splendid singing.
The Sunday night services of late
have been marked by their evan

months not a single Sunday has
pasged without a definite Christian
décision on the part of one of the
