THE STARS AND STRIPES

Do you know the birth of the stars and stripes The flag that we love so well? ! Yes, l know it's record is clearly | kept , \'Tis a story we like to tell. A record of silk, and loving hands Andistitches made in part, But,I mean the flag that was made by God , And preserved in Americas heart. When the world first saw our ! country free, And vanquished foe turn home. It saw our land as 1t was to be In the years that now have come There was no limit to our bounds, No old world rules to break, ; This new won land was ours to keep, It's history ours to make. Btst when for us the sun first In England it had set
 And our early dawn and their
 early eve Halfway in the ocean met.
 There the crimson rays of their
 setting sun,
 With the white rays of our
 dawn
 Met the starry blue of the sky above And. America's flag was born.
 Americas flag. Old Glory, true The flag that has never been furled; Emblem of freedom that Wash ingtons won, The flag that leads the world

For six minutes We had been lying dead
when the Pretoria hit us. That's all"
Later Skipper Roberts was induced to
add to this preliminary statement Mean
while dozens OF the men and women
among the passengers told between Quar-
antine and the dock many details of the
banging up the liner had received
All were agreed that, with the excep-
ton Of the score of so of children aboard
and a handful Of the adult passengers,
everybody was awakened shortly after
midnight Saturday morning by the steady
blasts of the siren as the liner slid into
one of the thickest of the many fog blank
cts that had smothered her throughout the
trip.
At least two of the passengers, James
II. Thompson OF London, who holds a
master navigator's certificate. and \. +.
Gibbs a Canadian. were out on the prom
enade deck when the crash came In the
staterooms many were either lying awake
or sitting up apprehensively and in some
cases partly dressed.
With the first toot of the New York =
fog siren the bulkheads had been ordered
closed Then for more than an hour and
a half the American liner swashed along
carefully, her siren grooming rhythmically
without an answering blast. II was about
ten minutes before the ships struck that
the frst blast from the Pretoria was heard
aboard the New York.
Capt. Roberts brought his ship almost
to a dead stop. Six minutes before the
impact the New York blew two long blasts
to let the Pretoria know that the Amer
lean liner now had no Roadway at all.
But from the Pretoria. say Skipper
Roberts. his crew and passengers. came
only the intermittent fog siren OF the
Pretoria, showing she was still under
way.

Four of the passengers said yesterday
that they had refused to sign the paper,
the reason for not doing so in all four
cases being that they had not been
awakened by the stewards, and therefore
they could not consistently sign docu-
ment that said that AL passengers were
at once notified"
The explanation made by one of the
officers was that even before all of the
comparatively few not already awake
had been aroused il was found that there
was no necessity for routing out the rest.

the port side Of the New York and
crunched In about five feet of the New
Nork's teakwOod railing just under the
American liners bridge and perhaps nifty
feet aft OF the big hol- made by the
first smash. That final bump was hard
enough TO smash a lot of the starboard
portfolio glass on the Pretoria, some OF
which tlnkled onto the promenade deck of
the New York. The vessels then broke
loose and almost instantly the fog cur
tain dropped between them.
Capt. Roberts is "A nice man and very
conservative In his language" said "a

some little while afterward, Capt. Roberts

The New York had begun to gather
