$4,000 Appropriation For Pre-

Provided In Measure.

Washington, March mot in long
time has such undoubtedly genuine,
patriotic enthusiasm been evident in
the house Of representatives as was
the case when the bill appropriating
100000 for the repair, preservation and
exhibition of the 1876 trophy flags
which record the history of the Amer.
lean navy from the year of 1912 to the
present time was under discussion by
the house. The bill was passed unani-

cratic and Republican, cheered and
banged their desks and openly wiped
the tears from their cheeks.
The first demonstration occurred
when n great, square ensign of navy
blue with yellowed white letters strag-
Cling across it was thrown over big
easel placed in the we'll in front of the

There was silence for a moment. and
then every member Of the house jump

the contagion and applauded unreprov

Then while Mr. Bates referred briefly
to historic naval battles in which the
United States was victorious pages
draped other historic flags across the
easel for the house to see. Some OF
them were mere rags, tattered, torn
moth eaten and discolored. Others
some not oldest among them, were
faded, but almost whole. A cheer from
the house greeted the production Of
each trophy.
