The Blood Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times. but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign of re-
volt. In the earliest revolt known to
history, when the Persians rose against
their king 1000 years ago. they We're
led by blood red banner, and during
the riots which took place in Paris the
men in the blood red caps We're fol-
lowed by the mob. A blood red flag
waved over Bunker Hill when the
Americans fought for liberty, and it
was the emblem of the German peas
ants in their great uprsings in 1424.
1892 and 1925. Blood red was the col
or Of the trades union flags during the
middle ages. and it framed the back
ground of the emblem of the Swiss
confederacy in 1915. Through the
whole of French and every other ma
tional history those striking in their
own ways for liberty have worn the
blood red cap and hailed the blood red
banner as their leader. 1t is curious
fact that never has a monarch chosen
it as his color.-London Answers
