Planning For Centennial.
Great Efforts Being Made To
Have an Elaborate Celebra-

The National Star Spangled Banner
Centennial celebration is being developed
on larger lines than first planned. The
events in Baltimore are going to be the
finest the city has known, including a
500, 900 illumination, $25, 900 military
parade, notable regatta and pageant
which is described as being on scope
heretofore uninterrupted in America. The

the celebration to all the points touched
by the history of the National Anthem.
This will mean Washington and old

and the following places in Maryland:
Havre de Grace, Fredericktown, Cecil
county; Georgetown and Caulk's Field,
Kent county; St. Michaels, st. Leonards,
Upper Marlboro, Hills Bridge, Annapo-
lis, Bladenburg, where Barney made his
noble defense; the birth place of Key
near Key Mar, Carroll county; the origi-
nal burial place of Key at Frederick,
Frederick county; the British landing
place at Fort Howard, Baltimore county;
and the battlefield at North Point where
the last battle on American soil was
fought which led to the Treaty of Peace,
and where the cornerstone of monu-
ment was laid seventy-five years ago
upon an acre of ground donated to the
State by DR.. Jacob Houck. The keen
interest in the celebration continues to
grow President Wilson and former
Presidents Taft and Roosevelt expect to
be present, and there will be brilliant
assemblage of the notables of the coun
t'y. Special provisions are being made
to take care of the people of Maryland
