Relief Corps Holds
Annual Meeting
Ladies' Listen to Interesting Report
of Anniversary Celebrations at Bal
timore and Discuss Year Work
(By Press Correspondent

September first, sixteen members of
the Women's Relief Corps assembled
at the G.. A. K. Hall. ten being Of
hcers. After the opening exercises
we had a brief social hour, during
which we discussed ways and means
of stimulating the major part of the
Corps, to a realizing sense of their
responsibility in connection with that
Organization.
Senior vice, Mrs. Claiborne, told
of the celebration in Baltimore, COM
memorating the victory at Fort Nc
Henry, the fort which was Baltimore's
defense. The celebration began Sep
TENDER 6 and will continue till the
fourteenth. One feature of the cele-
bration will be the hosting of the
remnant of the flag, that flew over
the fort, on the some place where
Francis Scott Key saw it in the
dawns early light, the morning after
The British attack had failed. The
old fort will be dedicated as a park,
kand there will be monument to it's
commandment, Major George Arm
stead.
Flag a Large One
The flag that flew from Fort Nc
Henry must have been enormous, for
the remnant still existing is thirty
two feet in length by twenty nine,
in the hoist. There are fifteen stripes
each stripe nearly two feet wide, while
each of the fifteen stars is two feet
from point to point. A very inter
esting program for each of the eight
days is found in The Women's World
for September. On Saturday, Star
Spangled Banner Day, the Original
Star Spangled Banner will be borne
in the procession through the city te
Fort McHenry, while human Amer

At Italian Capital
Ceremony, Imposing in Its Solemnity,
Held at Sistine Chapel at
The Vatican
POPE RECEIVES CARDINALS
POntifcal Court, Roman AristrOcracy
and POntiff's Family Present
at The Ceremony

The coronation of Pope Benedict
XIV took place Sunday in the Sistine
chapel The ceremony was imposing
in it's solemnity. The Sistine chapel
was used for the occasion in order
to avoid pomp during the war. The
entire pontifical court, numbers of the
Roman aristocracy, and the family of
the pontiff were present
Scene Was Striking
The scene with Pope Benedict seated
in the sedia gestatoria, preceded by
the bearers of the triple crown and
fianked by the bearers of the cele-
brated feather fan, and go cardinals
in their full vestments, was a strik-
ing one When the ceremony ended,
the pope was received with loud ac-
claim by those present.
Later in the day, Pope Benedict re-
ceived successfully, in private audi
ence, Cardinals Gibbons, Farley and
O'Connell, who presented their suites
and some American friends.
The entire armed corps of the Holy
See saluted the passage of the pro-
cession which was formed in the
pope's apartments, and then pro-
ceeded to the Pauline chapel, where
the alteration of the holy sacrament
was celebrated. In the procession
were high dignitaries of the papal
court, patriarch bishops and Oriental
bishops. -, rt1fT
Mass Is Said ~~4
From the Pauline chapel the pro-
cession moved to the Sistine chapel,
where a mass was said. After the
indulgentiam the subdeacon placed the
maniple on the arm of the pope, who
sat down while the cardinals of the
diocese of Rome recited the corona
ton prayer. The pope then mounted
the altar and cardinal placed the
/ pallium on his shoulders.
At this moment Benedict XIV re-
ceived the last alteration of the car
dinals, bishops and abbes. Then he
read the introit, intoned the Gloria,
and resumed his seat on the throne.

count of the work done by the COM
mittee on the prevention of the des-
creation of the flag given by the
chairman. Mrs. Isabel Worrell Ball.
Flag Often Desecrated
In the report she says: The Indust-
rial Workers of the World are the
greatest sinners against the flag and
she relates several instances of their
| descreation of the flag.
The Secretary of the Navy, Josep-
hus Daniels. in addressing banquet
at Seattle, paid a glowing tribute to
the United States flag, and took oc
casion to praise the attitude of the
Mayor of Boston, who stopped red
flag parade Secretary Daniels said:
'The red flag has no place in this
Country, and believers in it have no
place in this Country. A Mayor who
does not enforce the law against the
red flag is not fit to hold an office,
and people who believe in the red
flag. should be driven from the Coun-
try" ---... .---'..-s-.
Even a former representative from
Wisconsin showed his ignorance. in
an address at Seattle, when he said:
THE red flag stands for International
brotherhood, you should respect and
love it. The American flag stands
for the first experiment in political
economy, you should respect and love
it."
Emblem of Authority
Former representative, Berger, vio-
lated the oath he took. when he be-
came a member of the House of Rep
resentative. bound himself to sun
port the Constitution of the United
States and defend her honor against
all foes, foreign or domestic The flag
of the United States is the emblem
of the power and authority of the
United States Government, and one
cannot be true to the institutions of
the government and not be true to
it's flag. There are some who cam
not understand the feelings of the
loyal Americans. when they sing with
spirit our loved National songs.
Neither do they know the sacrifice
made for United Country, that the
interests north and south should be
as one. Neither do they know of the
desolated homes the aching bleeding
hearts, the vacant chairs, never to
be filled by our dear boys in blue, and
many were mere boys in their teens.
If they knew of this untold suffer-

Paul Sikora failed to come back.
The Detroit favorite journeyed to
Lansing yesterday TO do battle with
Jimmy Anderson, of Chicago, and
would have been knocked out II. the
Hght had not been stopped in the sew
enth round. Sammy Taylor, OF De
troit, also looked very bad. After
scoring three knockouts in three
weeks, he allowed Sid Murray, OF
Kazoo. TO stick for the full eight
rounds OF the semi-final, which is dis.
graceful.
Perhaps Sammy was taking a little
vacation, however. for he had Muir
ray on the ropes through the fight and
twice the Celery City boy was saved
from a nap only by the bell. Dis

from the start TO the finish OF the

Taylor will soon be ready for some
thing better than state preliminary

night and at once breathed defiance

at Windsor tonight. Hal Is fresh
from victory over Stanley Yoakum

the Red Sox were left in last season

It's so. Freddie Welsh is none other
