HoMEwARD-BoUND PENNANr.
Its Use Authorized on Returning
Transports to Please Soldiers.

Responding to a general sentiment on
the part Of troops returning to the United
States from service in the Philippines.
Gen. Oliver. acting secretary of war, to-
day directed the issue of a general order
to the army authorizing vessels of the
United States army transport service to fly
"a homeward-bound pennant," furnished
by the troops on board returning from for
eign service. 1t is prescribed that this
pennant shall consist of a blue field con-
tanning thirteen white stars and two
stripes, the upper stripe Of white and the
lower stripe OF red material, both taper
ing to a point
This action was recommended by Gen
WotherspOon, acting chief Of staff, on the
ground that such pennants will be treas
ured by the regimental organizations on
account Of their sentimental associa tiOns
In his opinion, sentiment is of value in
the maintenance Of high morale and effi-
cheney of an organization. In the United
States Navy the use OF these homeWard-
bound pennants, while not recognized by
regulation, Is q custom SO old as to be al
most q tradition. In that service tine
pennant is procured by voluntary contri-
buttons from the ships crew. and it's size
usually depends on the length OF the
cruise, The pennant adopted for the army
is practically a duplicate of that in use
In the navy.

Mr.. Tawney then saw General Mar
shall, who said he would accept the
Joint recommendation of Major Skunk
and the engineer board AS soon as
the report reaches General Marshall
he will direct Major Skunk to proceed
with the survey, which probably will
be completed during the current sea-
son.
The report will be submitted to con-
gress at the beginning of the long
session of congress next winter, and a
delegation then will make fight to
have the. rivers and harbors committee
provide funds to carry out the project,
involving reservoir construction SINH
