DR.. WULLNER GIVES
CHARMING RECITAL
Interpretation of German
Songs PleaseS EnthuSi-
aStic Audience.

Dr. Ludwig Wullner, one Of the great J
est singers of German songs, gave . re
cital yesterday afternoon in the Column
tia Theater and demonstrated cOnclu-
siveIv the charm that lies in the songs
OF Germany even to those unfamiliar
with the language ana dependent en-
tirely upon tIanslatiOns. COenraed Bos
was the accOupanist.
Dr.. WuIlnec viii appear at the, same
theater next Tuesday afternoon in a
second recital
In the twenty numbers Of the program
DR.. WuIIner demonstrated almost every
attribute " dramatic art so far as il
lies in the power Of a concert singer In
each If his songs where the require
ments were such as to demand it, DR..
Wullner sacrificed voice 10 interpreta-
ton. and in each instance scored an en-
phat success.
There has beer no more picturesque
personality presented on the concert
stage this season than the distinguish
ed German singer. Above the ordinary
height and with abundant hair massed
above a classic face, DR.. WulIneTs ap-
pearance is that Of a tragedian rather
than q singer. His dramatic interprs-
tation Of his program strengthened THIS
impression.
Audience Enthusiastic
The audience which greeted Dr.. Wull-
ner vas not. large. but It measured up
TO the mark in enthusiasm Every num-
Der was received with pronounced favor,
and the length of the program alone
prohibited the granting Of recalls.
II che might select the number which

lproEram, Schuoert's -Erikonig' deserves
( the distinction. Dr. Wuliner threw
! into the number the most intense dra-

new state. The plan Of arranging the stars in rows was
also adopted.
The flag now has 46 stars, and it is notable that it
has never had one taken from it, the government main
tanning during the civil conflict in the sixties that the
tie which binds the states cannot be severed.
Although the flag has passed through three foreign
wars, it has never known defeat, never been trailed In
the dust of dishonor. Some of the uses to which it is
sometimes put at home, however, are not suggestive
of the highest respect. But "a states and territories now
have laws making 1t a m~isdemeanor, punishable with
fine and Imprisonment, or both, to place any inscription
or picture upon the flag, and two bills are before con-
gress with a similar purpose, one being passed by the
senate at the session just closed.
On the Fourth Of July of last year another star was
added, and Oklahoma took her place in the gal
axy of states. The sun never sets upon odd Glory"
and this was true before the acquisition of the Philip.
pines, the Aleutian islands, a part of Alaska, extending
so far west that when the sun sinks below the horizon
there 1t is just rising from the sea at Eastport, Me.
Countless anecdotes might be related of devotion to
the flag and of personal sacrifices made for its preser-
walton. Women as well as men have exhibited sublime
heroism when the flag was in danger. And the princi-
pies for which it stands have earned for 1t and for the
country the respect of all the world.
One of the least known, yet most precious of the his.
toric American flags now in existence is what is Familiarity
known In the ancient commonwealth of Massachusetts as
the Bedford flag. When the Concord Hymn" by the
sage of Concord" Ralph Waldo Emerson, first appeared
exceptions were taken to the line Their flag to Aprips
breeze unfurled,' the critics maintaining that the little
band of farmers who assembled at the Old North bridge
at Concord the historic 10Th of April, 1775, and fired "the
shot heard round the world. had no flag.
AS in many other proven instances, the critics were
mistaken. There was a flag at Concord, and that flag is
still in existence. It was carried by Nathaniel Page, Jr,
one Of the minute men Of Bedford, an adjoining town,
This flag was stored In an attic in the old home of the
Pages for many years, and was thought SO little Of by its
owners that upon one occasion a daughter of the house
is said to have used a portion of the gold fringe which Dor
dered 1t to decorate a costume for a masquerade party.
On the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the
Concord fight" in ITS, the old flag was again brought
to light and carried in the procession which was part Of
the celebration Of the anniversary.

Now comes an interesting item in the flags history
10 Mr., Peter H. Wendover of New York city we are in
debted for the present appearance of the flag. MIR.
Wendover was a member of congress and on the 9th
OF December, 1916, he took up the matter of a perma-
nent form OF the flag. His business was that of a sail
and flag maker, and he realized because of experience
the impracticabiity of adding a stripe as each new
state should appear. He therefore, offered a resolution
that a committee be appointed to inquire into the
expectancy of altering the flag Of the United States, and
that they have to report by bill or otherwise" The mo.
ton was carried, and he was made chairman of the
committee to report a law.
The committee referred tho matter to Capt. Samuel c.
Reid OF New York, who had, as a prtvateer, distinguished
himself by the capture of several British ships. AS a
result the committee presented a report, a part of which
was:
I'm viewing this subject there appears to be a happy
coincidence of circumstances in having adopted the sym
bols in this flag, and a peculiar fitness of things In ma
king the proposed alteration. In that part designed
at a distance to characterize our country, and which
ought for the information of other nations to appear
conspicuous and remain permanent, you present the num-
Der of states that burst the bonds of oppression and
achieved our Independence; while in the part intended
for the nearer or home view you see a representation of
our happy union as it now exists, and space sufficient to
embrace the symbols of those who may hereafter Join
under our banner"
T~hereupon congress enacted the flag law in 1918, and
of Capt. Reid, assisted by a number of ladies, at her
residence in Cherry street, New York city. This flag
had 81 stars, and it was provided further by congress
that a star should be added upon the addition Of each

there he came to stop. Lyon
had his four-inch guns directed at
the waterside wall of the tunnel

was made in the wall, and, fear
ing that the whole thing would
cave in, the engineer took the
train out of the tunnel, and, gath

speed for the next hiding place.
Lyon took a flying shot and plant
ed a four-inch shell into the loco

with the train.
The Dolphin went in nearer to
the beach and the crew opened
with small arms on the troops,
who returned the fire with their

A little girl in St. Louis the other
evening was going through the usual
form of prayer: God bless mamma,

and so on, when all at once she
semed to come to a decision. "Now

say that prayer" she said, very grave
ly, looking at her mother. you are
older than I am and it is your place
to ask for all those things and | don't
see any use in two peoples asking

firmly refused to pray, insisting that
it is her mothers place to ask God
for blessings.

snow them in European waters, the first to receive and
acknowledge a salute to them from a foreign power, the
first to compel a regular British man-of.war to strike to
them, the first to display them on board the first ship of
the line built for the United States, which was appro-
priately christened the America.
Another connection of American womanhood with the
growth of the flag is interesting. The first flag recog.
nized by a foreign power was of silk, made and present
ed by the ladies Of Portsmouth,, N. H. 1t was said to
be about 36 feet in the fly. John Paul Jones is author
ity for the statement that the same flag flew over the
Bon Homme Richard when she fought the Scraps. He
stated that the flag went down with the ship, yet a
flag Is now exhibited in the National museum which Is
said to be that of the Richard. A statement has also
been made recently by eminent authority that the Ranger
was not the first to receive recognition by a foreign
power, but that the incident was antedated by a SINH
lar recognition of the flag of the Hornet, an American
vessel fitted out at Baltimore by Joshua Barney, later
Commodore Barney.
An uncertain thing is fame. Whatever the truth of
the various statements the progress Of the flag has been
continuous. The flag Of 13 stripes and 10 stars was
used at Brandywine-hoated over the surrender of Bur-
goyne-cheered the patriots during the dreary winter at
Valley Forge, waved at Yorktown and shared the re-
jocings at the close Of the war.
The first change came in 1894, when Vermont having
been admitted to the union in 1871. and Kentucky in
1892, q bill was presented In congress increasing the

AN INDIGESTION
REMEDY FREE

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
OF the body, ii would seem that a dis
order there is to be taken very seri-
ously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things
they like; food sours in the stomach,
then chronic constipation begins, or,
as is often the case, you have been
constipated all along, and the stools
are forced and irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion
go until it becomes chronic n UNDER
mines your health. 1t is good advice to
gist and get a bottle of DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin, the. wonderful cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That
is what c.. Fowler, of Carson City, Mich,
the same n are cured are Ida A. For
tune, of Grand Junction, Tenn, B. f.
Thompson, of Shenandoah, Ia, who ae-
tually considers that it saved his life.
You can obtain a 50-cent or 81 bottle of
the druggist, and, taken according to di-
rections, 1t will probably be all you need.
1t is a liquid, acts gently, never gTipes,
and besides the laxative effect, contains
the stomach, and that is what is espe-
cially needed in Indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used DIR. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
the doctor. 1t will be sent direct to your
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat
isfaction DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is

remedy YOU will throw violent catharticS,
