White House Flag
Fails to Float

or all the government buildings in
Washington. the White House was
the only one today which did not
fly the Stars and Stripes from its
flagpoles. This is due to the fact
that, according to custom, the flag
is only displayed over the Presi-
dents residence when the President
is in town.
Early this morning the President,
accompanied by Secretary Tumulty,
went TO Philadelphia to make the
principal speech at the celebration
in Independence hall. He will re-
turn this evening.
Were it not for the fact that Con-
gress is still in session. the flags
at the Capitol would not have been
displayed.
