Russia's Flag
From Tit-Bits

fIOm Ill-BltS.
Not few people are making the mis-
take of flying in Russia's honor the pic
turesque yellow flag with the double
eagle. under the impression that 1t is
our ally's national flag. This flag, how
ever. is really the imperial standard while
the white flag with the blue st. Andrew 8
cross is the Russian naval ensign. The
latter is used only by the navy. and is
not allowed to be flown by private indi-
viduals.
The Russian national flag, which should
be used in this country by people who
wish to show their admiration for Rus
STA. is a tri-color, white. blue and red
stripes, placed longitudinally.
There is indeed a remarkable similarity
between the flags of the allies. France.
Russia and Servia all employ the same
three colors. only the arrangement diff
fering. In regard to the flags OF Russia
and Servia, it may be pointed out that,
as the colors are the same, a Servian
flag upside down would be the Russian
and vice versa. Belgium flies a tri-color
with the colors vertically, as in the case
of the French flag. The Belgian colors,
black. gold and red. are said to symbol
ize the emergence of the country from
darkness into light through blood and
fire-a most appropriate device.

build a winning combination. These men
are Captain Love, guard; Holt, guard ;

February Mississippi A. and NJ,

by Gilmore
Gilmore reiterated his belief that
johnson had been wrongfully per-
suaded by attorneys for the American
league that the reserve clause of the
Washington club contract would hold

forever carry on your shoulders bur-
den of dishonor."
