Trees as Service Flags.

East St. Louis, El. —This city in the near future will .probably have a new kind of service flag, a tree for each local boy in the fighting service. Plans are now being made by the Woman’s Civic Federation and the woman’s committee of the council of national defense to plant these trees near the homes of the enlisted men. The trees will bear the names of the soldiers or sailors they represent.
