AN INVESTIGATION ORDERED BY THE STATE
DEPARTMENT.
Washington. Sept with a view to learning
the facts in the case, Acting Secretary Adee has
instructed Nj. Mccormick, United States Ambas-
sador at Vienn to ascertain from whom came
the flag which recently presented TO the

which is reported to have been the gift of the
Austrian Government. 1t is said that while there
precedent for the bestowal of such a flag set
by Emperor William in sending German stand

ago, the present case is reported to differ in the
fact that the Austrian flag bore the inscription
BE Loyal TO Your Fatherland, Magyars'
Mr.. Adees action is not in the nature of a com

believed to be probable that the flag came from
