THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Condensed History OF the Adoption OF
the Stars md Strinaa

S~-~NSA-cOO
the Stars and Stripes.
The recent discussions concerning the
alteration Of the United States flag, in
recognition of the admission of the new
States into the Union, naturally pro-
voked certain amount of inquiry into
the history OF the stars and stripes. The
general facts in regard to the adoption
of the National flag are more or less
we'll known, includi ng the inuch-debated
question as to whether or not the en-
blem owes its present form to the fact
that the family arms of George Wash
ington included the stars and stripes
that are now so familiar. However this
may be, 1t is certain that the flag was by
act of Congress passed June IA, TIT,
established as having thirteen red and
white stripes and a union of thirteen
white stars in blue field, and the stars,
instead of being the six-pointed stars
OF heraldry, as they are on our coins,
.re, and always have been, the five
ointed stars of Washing toms coat-of-
arms, known in heraldry as ''mullets."
The flag was, January IS, 1894, decreed
by act of Congress to have the number
OF both stars and stripes changed to
fifteen, and this was tho flag that flew
at the battles of Fort McHenry and
New Orleans in the war of 1912, and
which was sung of for the first time as
the "Star-Spangled Banner" BY an act
OF Congress passed April 4, 1918, the
flag was again changed finally, and it
was resolved that the stripes should be
thirteen in number and that the blue
field should contain as many stars as
irrht I1o l. A.
This much is generally known, but only
few perhaps are aware that the flag as
it Is now was designed by Captain
Samuel c. Reid, and that the one made
by his wife, a silken ensign of the pres
ent form, flew at the masthead of the
brig General Armstrong when it was
destroyed by the British squadron in
the port of Fayal in 1914 Congress
passed a resolution of thanks to Captain
Reid in 1859. and he died shortly after
in New York.
1t was the claim of his son, Colonel
Samuel G. Reid, now living and practic-
ing as lawyer in Washington for the
value of the ship thus destroyed in a
neutral port-a claim which fingered
for years and years before Congress
which gave to the late David
d. Lloyd the groundwork of the
story Of '"The Senator" while
old Colonel Reid himself, to whose
stubborn perseverance the passage
of the claim was due, formed the orig
inal model for Mr.. Cranes character Of
Silas Denman in the comedy. Colonel
Samuel c. Reid is said to be somewhat
OF character in his way, and it is GER
tain that he never tires of recounting
the details Of the action in which his
fathers ship was lost, and in which it is
claimed the English lost over thres
hundred men and officers, while tho
American loss was only two killed and
seven wounded. The General Armstrong
was finally scuttled near the beach, and
subsequently fred and blown up by the
enemy.-N. Y. Times.
