words the order, Don't give up the

strike their colors. The Essex, the
first American frigate to sail around
Cape Horn into tho Pacific, found a
British vessel waiting for her, and in
the battle which ensued the enemy
came of victorious. In the midst of
these disasters the New Englanders
were disregarding by a majority of
votes what the national government at
Washington decreed. They quietly and
secretly published a most unsatisfac-
tory report that was supposed by
many to have had its origin In an at
tempt to break up the federal power.

about through French influence, as be-
cause of the military conditions ex-
listing between England and France,
the British found it impolitic to fol-
low up the American campaign, al
though the war was in their favor.
Here, then. is an apt illustration Of
how the French (the Cock) protected
the Eagles nest (America). So much
for the first line; the next is espe-
cially prophetic:
THE stars shall rise all in the West
Immediately after tho war Of 1912
the stars began to gather in our nag,
and they all came from the west, for
It should be remembered that in those
days any country lying on the sun
down side of the Allegheny mountains
was considered west. Hence the open
ing up of the great western terri
tory with the immediate admission Of
the new states brought forth the
rise of the stars all in the west" un-
til this day, when the flag has since
1912 seen 80 stars rise In the west

It requires no great stretch of I'M
agination to apply the above lines to
the present era when avtators are the
heroes of the hour, and long continued
a,1hts in airships have ceased to be
a novelty. And one might take the
failing of the lions strength to re-
fer to the lessening of the British
navy's far famed power when confront
ed with the possibility OF attack by
enemies floating in the air. When a
certain Frenchman not long ago cross
ed the channel in an airship and land

alarm manifested throughout the

The Lion Virgin true shall wound"
During the last years Of the Revolu-
ton the continentals frequently at
tempted to make approaches to tho
camp and redoubts Of the British by
underground passages. This tunnel
method was evidently a French sue-
gestion, as it was part Of early
French military tactics. The digging
in the earth Is also we'll illustrated In
the winter headquarters at Valley
Forge, where the telling Of trees to
establish their log cabins was slow
work; and when the cold winter set in
many were the holes in the ground
that served as lodgings for the freez-
ing troops. The line, THE Lion q
Virgin true shall wound" might be
taken as q reference to the terrible
massacres, expeditions of plumber and
destruction in Virginia, named the Vir-
gin colony In honor of Queen Eliza
beth. This country Of the virgin was
indeed wounded, for no other section
of the country suffered such bloody
military attacks. It was estimated bv
Jefferson that the raids of Benedict
Arnold through Virginia cost the
enormous sum of $15,000.00o in prop
erty, besides the thousands Of lives
sacrificed under conditions of the
most frightful torture.

This could be accepted as referring
to the united forces of the colonists
(the Dove), and the French (the
Cock), at the final engagement before
Yorktown. This siege and battle re-
suited in tho American victory, and

The second test of martial power be-

GIRLS INDICTED
BY GRAND JURY
True Bills Found Against Then,
Charging Them With Attempt

NEW YORK, July 1S.-lndictments
charging attempted murder were re-
turned by the grand jury this after
noon against Ethel Conrad and Lillian
Graham who on June I, shot w. -. ID.
Stokes, the millionaire owner of the
Ansonia hotel. Despite the fact that
the district attorney counselled an in
dictment for felonious assault, the
grand jury after listening to Stokes
story of the veruna apartments and
the demand for $4,000, decided that
an indictment for attempted murder
was warranted.
Counsel for the two girls was di
rected to produce them In court to
morrow to plead.
Stokes related to the grand jury his
visit to the fat on the invitation OF
Ethel Conrad who he said had from
ised to turn over to him package oi
letters he had written to Miss Ora
ham. He insisted that he had never
slandered either the Graham girl OF
her mother and sisters. Stokes swort
that Ethel Conrad demanded that hi
sign a check for $4,000 and when hi
refused. Miss Graham started th'
