Remarkable Letter From a
French Naval Officer.
Pictures a Night Of Tense Watching

Discovery and Destruction

Paris.-Thcre has come to me,

cago News. a remarkable letter from
a naval officer, who is. cruising with
the French feet in the Adriatic. hunt
ing the Austrian foe. 1t gives d vivid
picture of the solitary drama of war
at sea, Here it is:
1T is q black night. The wind is
terrible, the swell monstrous. All
lishts are out. Darker than the night,
without a single noise aboard, the
chips, one behind the other, watch
upon the sea that nothing may pass.
Ten miles to the north, ten miles to
the south, they are holding their blind
course. All seems to sleep.
Our lookouts at bow and stern, lost
in shadow. are rolling and pitching
like phantcms. while not a single
sound breaks the incomprehensible
silence. But the cannon are ready.
There is a man behind each loaded
piece, his finger on the trigger, never
closing his eyes from the moment he
goes on duty to the moment OF his
relief. Alolt, the searchlights, too,

interesting is the story Of the flag and the
better to understand 1t 1t is necessary to go back
several centuries. Prior to the Revolutionary
war the flag generally used in the American colo
MES was of course that of Great Britain though
at different times in different colonies minor
variations were introduced. The first English
flag to appear in what Is now the United States
was the red cross of st. Georgia red cross upon
white held-and under this emblem various at
tempts made to establish colonies in the
world. In 1906, after the union between
England and Scotland. the white cross of st. An
drew added and the field was changed from
white to blue. Under this flag the Mayfower
sailed; under it established the first perma-
nent Anglo-Saxon settlements in the new world,
and the flag was generally used in the colonies,
when any flag was used at all, down to 1707.
Previous to this in England the flag underwent
change, The field was changed from blue to
crimson and the crosses of ST. George and St
Andrew, which had covered The entire field,
placed in the upper left hand corner. In 1907
Great Britain adopted for the whole realm the
union flag of St James. During the early part of
the Revolutionary period each colony used an
emblem OF its own-freQuently the coat-of-arms
OF the colony with the addition of such
notices as "Qui transtulit sustinet," or George
Rex and the Liberties of America" One flag
which often appeared from 1907 to 1875 was
known as the pine tree" flag. and under it some
OF the battles of the Revolution land and sea
were fought. Both at this time and earlier the

A SONG OF THE FLAG.

(By Denis A. Mccarthy
Here is my love to you, flag of the free,
and flag of the tried and true,
Here is my love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars in field of blue!
Here is my love to your silken folds wher-
ever they wave on high,
For you are the flag of land for which
t were sweet for a man to die!
Native or foreign are all as one when
cometh the day of strife;
What is the dearest gift we can give for
the flag but human life?
Native or foreign are all the same when
the hearts blood reddens the earth,
And native or foreign. t is love like this is
the ultimate test of our worth!
Native or immigrant-here is the task to
which we must summon our powers:
Ever unsullied to keep the flag in peace as
in wars Wild hours.
Selfishness, narrowness, graft and greed,
and the evil that hates the light,
All these are foes of the flag today, all
these we must face and fight.
Symbol of hope to me and mine, and to all
who aspire to be freei
Ever your golden stars may shine, from the
east to the western sea!
Ever your golden stars may shine, and ever
your stripes may gleara
To lead us on from the deeds we do to
the greater deeds that we dreams
Here is our love to you, flag of the free, and
flag of the tried and true;
Here is our love to your streaming stripes,
and your stars In field of bluei
Native or foreign, we're children all of the
land over which you fly.
And native or foreign we love the land for
which 1t were sweet to die!

but with union of 13 stars on blue ground
representing a constellation" According
to tradition, the first flag after the new design
made by Mrs Betsy Ross In Philadelphia
There is much uncertainty both as regards the
origin and as regards the first use by the army
and navy of this new lag-probably, however it
was first used at Fort Stanwix on August 6, 1777
No change was made in the flag until January
1894, when two new states, Vermont and Ken
lucky, having been admitted to the Union Tin
1871 and 1892, respectively congress enacted
that after May 1, 1875, "the flag of the United
States be Is stripes alternate red and white, that
the Union be Is stars, white in blue field.
No further change was made until 1918, when
five states, Tennessee, Ohio. Louisiana In
diana and Mississippi having been admitted to
the Union, congress enacted on April 4, that
from and after the fourth day of July next the
flag of the United States be 13 horizontal stripes
alternate red and white that the union have ~
stars, white in blue field" and that on the
admission of every new state into the Union one
star be added to the union of the flag and that
such addition shall take effect on the fourth OF
July next succeeding such admission. This law
still remains in force. The manner in which the
stars we're to be arranged in the union of the
flag was not prescribed and ever since flags have
differed considerably in this respect The rule
followed in first expansion flags of 1873 or
arranging the stars so that the whole number
formed one large star was abandoned new
were placed in rows. This is the form of the
flag today, whose stars tell the marvellous story
of our continental expansion and whose folds
voice the spirit of freedom and justice on land
and sea-
Hail brightest banner that floats on the gale!
Flag of the country of Washington, halt
Red are thy stripes with the blood Of the brave;
Bright are thy stars the sun on the wave
Wrapt in thy folds the hopes of the free
Banner of Washington! blessings on thee!
Traitors shall perish and treason shall fall
Kingdoms and thrones in thy glory grow pale;
Thou shalt live and thy people shall own
Loyalty's sweet when each heart is thy throne;
Union and freedom thine heritage be
Country of Washington, blessings on thee!
On July 4, 1912, by the addition Of two new
stars one for each of the two states or
Arizona and New Mexico, the total of stars
reached 4S and the end OF the chapter was
reached. There be no more states admitted
to the Union as all the territories of continental
United States have now reached statehood. and
the only possibility OF additional stars being
added is the partition of Texas into two or more
states which was reserved as a constitutional
right by that state upon its coming into the
Union.
