for a United States flag which is new.
yet very old, and for the design of
which no less a person than George
Washington stood sponsor.
In the proposed new flag the orderly
rows of stars, arranged us they are
now in military alignment, will be su-
perseded by the star filled circle of
colonial days, providing for that which
is inevitable as death and taxes in this
country-growth. Mr.. Whipple points
out that the blue field on the upper

capacity with stars-forty-eight OF 'em,

RAISING, from a flag making viewpoint,
and with Alaska, for instance, in the

another star or stars has engaged na-
tional attention.

Our Army INDICATED.

Washington, June S.-.Army officials
are greatly pleased that there has been
no duplication of the state of unpre-
paredness in which the army was
found at the outbreak Of the Spanish
American war and which led to rows
between officers of high rank and to
the scandals which gave "cmbalmed
beef a place in army annals. With
the lesson Of the Spanish war behind
them, the chiefs of departments have
done the best they could with the
none which was forthcoming, and it
can be said today that, except in the
matter of the field artillery, the army
is in such Il condition that the whole
country feels satisfied that there is
every prospect Of the men being well
clothed, we'll fed and we'll armed, and
that every precaution will be taken and
every means afforded to save them
from the ravages Of disease.
1t was just after the Spanish war
that the general staff of the army was
established. The general staff not only
