FLAG RAISINGS ON THE FRISCO An indication of the patriotism of railway employees is disclosed in the list of Rag raisings by various groups of employees of the Frisco since the outbrealc of the war with Germany. There have been many such events extending over the entire systern. In addition to Ilags which are flying outside in yards, stations, etc., therc is hardly an office on the Frisco System which does not contain at least one lair sized flag. In the General Office building in St. Louis practically every room contains this indication of the patriotism of the Frisco employees, and this applies to the offices at Springfield, Bir- minqhanl, Memphis, Kansas City and other points as well. "Our Soldiers" list is growing also, but is not con~plete. All are urged to report the names of those Frisco employees enlisting in the service ol Lncle Sam. Let's all watch this closely, and see the list grow. Washington, D.
