THE BOER FLAG.
IFrom the Sketch.I

The national flag is very little known.
It is not even familiar to those artists
who are responsible for many of the
war maps now appearing in our daily
newspapers. The standard under which
the Beers are now fighting is exactly
that of Holland-bars red, white and
blue-with the exception of an addition
of an upright green bar where the flag
is Joined to the staff. The flag of the
Orange Free State also betrays its
Dutch origin, for in the corner, where
the Union Jack figures in the English
ensign, appears the Hollanders' tri-
color on a field of white and orange
bars. This flag is unique, for it is said
to be the only one in the world in
which orange appears as a color.
