land has issued a circular directing

propriate exercises for the observance
of the anniversary of the writing of
the Star Spangled Banner" on the
first day of the fall term of school,
September IA.
Similar exercises will be held in
the schools throughout the country
in an attempt to make ever more
popular and widely known the story
of the song which has, by popular
acceptation ,ebecome the nationtl an
them, and is officially recognized as
such to the extent of being the only
music which will bring army and
navy officials to their feet
On Sunday, September IL, 1914,
fifty ships, with 5000 British troops,
were seen at the mouth of the Pa
tapsco river approaching Baltimore.
Many of Washington's "Invincibles"
and the flower of Nelson's sea fight
ers were aboard.
A force of 100 hastily gathered
men, some in military uniform and
some in silk hats, were sent to harry
the British advance while fortif1ca-
lions were being thrown up to sup
plement the none too well built Fort
McHenry, which was garrisconed by
1000 men,.
over the fort wavew flag just
completed by Mrs. Mary Young Pick
ersgill and her two nieces. 1t had
fifteen alternate red and white stripes
and fifteen white stars on blue
field. Because of its size, 36x29 feet,
the women had been obliged to use a
brewery as a workshop because 1t
was the only building in the neigh
borhood large enough.
Sunday night found the small but
determined advance force of defend
ers waiting for the coming of the
invaders on the Philadelphia road,
near Low Log lane. Early Monday
morninf the British landed, with
General Sir Robert Ross and Rear
Admiral Cockburn at their head. They
said they were going to clear out Il
NEST of pirates"
The British officers compelled Rob
ert Gorsuch, a farmer, to furnish
them with BREAKFAST and also made
him eat part of every dish to prove
1t was not poisonous. During the
course of the meal. the farmer asked
whether they would be back for sup
per, and General Ross said, mo. IL
eat my supper either in Baltimore Oh

Before breakfast was over firms
was heard and General Ross rushed
out to muster his troops, but a bullet
pierced his chest before he got away
from the farmers yard. The battle
did not commence until afternoon, and
after fighting for an hour and a half
retired, having lost $50 men and the
British 600.
The next day the real battle began
with the vessels of the British bonn
harding Fort Mc1enry. Back of the
British feet was the cartel ship Min
den," with young Francis Scott Key
aboard. He was being detained until
after the battle, together with his
friend, Dr. William Beanes, who had
been taken prisoner the day before.
Young Key went with a flag of truce
asking for the doctors release.
The bombardment of the fort con-
tinued through Tuesday night and
many of the shots went home. The
song written that night by Key ex-
pressed his anxiety for the fate of
Fort McHenry.
