ABOUT THE FLAG.

The American flag doubtless received
its baptism of fire. made its first APP
perance in battle. in Delaware The
statement that the iag was first un-
furled lit Cooch'S Bridge is not defensl-
BILE. but that does not drtract from the
distinguished honor to which the State
is entitled IFS being the scene Of it first
appearance III battle.
The Facts upon which this claim for
Delaware is based are simply the facts
of the adoption Of the flag hy Congress
in June III. The making Of the flag for
the usr Of tho army iii the campaign Of
that year. As everybody knows the
