Charge ABUSE OF
FLAG Of THE FREE

WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. S.-Re-
cent charges and denials of abuse and
misuse of the American flag have de-
veloped the fact that there is no ma
tional statute making such acts pun
ishable. Several states are said to
have severe laws on the subject, and
the War Department officials are
hopeful that agitation will lead legis-
latures Of other states to adopt SINH
lar laws
Mag. Gen Leonard Wood, chief Of
staff Of the army, contends that the
national ensign should never be used
as table covering or be tackled up as
drapery, but that it should always be
suspended from a line or staff or hung
against the wall. It is common prac-
tice on shipboald to spread the over
the chaplain's table or desk during
services, and this practice is con-
demned in some quarters as misuse
of the flag. ~
An attempt, probably will be made
to obtain national legislation on this
subject, it is said, but so many private
interests would be adversely affected
that the success of the attempt is
doubtful.
Use for Advertising Barred.
Under the copyright and trademark
law there is provision which forbids
the use Of the flag or Of any represen-
tation Of it as a trade mark, and few
Of the states have laws forbidding the
use of the flag for advertising pur-
poses. s.
May TO- 1908 tie Senate passed a
bill, introduced by Senator Lodge, pro-
viding for tie punishment of any per-
son "who publicly initiates, tramples
upon or otherwise defikes any such nag
standard, color or ensign (referring to
the American fl.g), whether any such
flag, standard, color or ensign is pub
lie or private property" a fine Of not
more than 500, or Imprisonment for
not more than six months, or both,
being the penalty for violation. This
measure, however, failed to pass the
house.
