historians. When Washington sug.
gested the six-pointed star. she demon.
strated the ease with which a five.
pointed star could be made by fold
ing a piece Of paper and producing
one with single clip Of the scissors.
Some writer's are of the opinion that
both stars and stripes in the flag
were derived from the coat Of arms OF
the Washington family, but this the
ory Is not generally held.
The Off cial adoption Of our first nag
was in 1777. On June IA of that year
the Continental congress passed an
act providing that "the flag of the
thirteen united states be thirteen
stripes. alternate red and white; that
the union be thirteen stars. white on a
blue field, representing new constel-
lation." The thirteen stars were ar
ranged in circle to symbolic the per-
petuity Of the union OF the states.
Vermont was admitted to the Union
in 1891 and Kentucky in 1892. 1t was
felt that these two new states ought
to be recognized on the flag. SO in 1894
congress passed an act making the
nag fifteen stars and fifteen stripes.
This remained the flag Of the United
States throughout the War of 1912.
until there were twenty states in the
Union. In 1915. an effort was again
made to modify the flag SO that all the
new states would be represented on It.
To be continually adding stripes would
make the flag very awkward in shape
and appearance, SO after arguing the
matter for two years. congress decided
to return to the original thirteen
stripes and one star for each state.
Congress has never determined the ar
rangement Of the stars nor the shape
and proportions Of the nag. and there
has been great variation. especially in
the grouping Of the stars. There arc
still many who believe that tho sym
bolic circular grouping Of stars should
be restored.

against military preparation by the
United States and praises President
Wilson's course in the international
emergency.
He declared that if any nation is
without excuse for entering this war;
it is the United States, which is pro.
tected by thousands of miles of ocean,
which is worth more than battleships.

preparation, but we are fortunate in
not having it," said Bryan. Because
it seems impossible that nation

An official statement from Constan

heavy losses to the AnsIo-French by
means of their artillery.
The Austro- German campaign
against Russia is developing into a
violent attack. Petroorad officially sd-
mts that the Germans have occupied
additional villages near Shawl in the
Baltic region, but states that the Rus
slams have regained the lost ground
near Przasnysz, which is north of War
saw, and that the Russians have won
some advantages in the fighting in the
Dniester region.
The London Times declares that the
results Of the battles will determine
the whole campaign for months to
come. II the Russians are driven out
of Galicia or dispersed further south,
the allies cannot count on a Russian
offensive during the entire summer,
and there would be difficulty in bring
ing about cooperation between Italy,
Serbia, and other Balkan states with
the Russian armies. There are hints
that lack of munitions, not men, is
troubling the Russians.
