LARGEST AMERICAN FLAG
FOR THE G. A. R. PARADE
To Be Brought to Encampment by
Mckinley Post Of Canton,
Ohio.

The largest United States flag in the
world Is to be brought to Washington
and carried in the G. A. r. parade here,
September 20. This flag is now the
property of the city of Canton. Ohio,
and was a gift from Mckinley Post. 1t
was made on the suggestion of Dr. S.
P. Spaulding. It measures 100 feet by
So a feet and is made of the very best
material, the same as is used in the
government flags.
A resolution to carry this flag to the
National Capital was unanimously
passed by Mckinley Post and DR..
Spaulding was made chairman Of the
committee to take charge of the flag
on this occasion. The Chamber of Com
Merce of Canton has consented to this
use of the monster banner.
Comrade ]. E. McCabe of Washington
was a guest of the William Mckinley
Post on the evening that the flag mat
ter was under discussion and lbs vol
unteered to assist that post in every
thing possible from this end. The
Canton post suggests that $50 Sons of
Veterans take charge of carrying the
monster emblem in the parade here.
1t is also intended to place the big
flag on exhibition in the new city post
office. Until this flag was made the
largest United States flag ever made
was in the Post Office building here.
1t still hangs there, but it has lost the
honor of being the largest. That flag
was made on voluntary contributions
from the employees of the building.

MERELY TO TEST REPAIRS.
Trip of q. S. Destroyers Was Not to
Convoy the Lapland,

Secretary Daniels today conferred
over the long-distance telephone with
Rear Admiral Usher, commandant OF
the New York nary yard. regarding re-
ports that three torpedo boat destroy
ers had been sent out from New York
to convoy the Red Star liner Lapland
with view to her protection from Ger
man submarines.
There's nothing in the story" said
Secretary Daniels, later.
Admiral Usher told the Secretary that
three destroyers in the New York navy
yard had gone out of the harbor for a
tryout of repairs made to them and
that the rumors of a convoy probably
arose from their departure.

The schedule for today at the annual
fall tennis tournament of the Columbia
Country Club is unusually attractive
and should draw out a large gallery.
The mems doubles have reached the
final stage, and Connie Doyle and Har-
old Selden meet Albert Gore and Paul
Treanor, the match starting at 8
o'clock. The finals of the women's sin
giles have been reached also. and the
local champion, Miss Eva Baker.
meets Miss Airline Dufour
The courts are now in splendid condi-
ton, and the play in both the matches
should furnish plenty of excitement
the honors of the Cumberland tourna-
ment in the doubles. and are credited
with being unusually strong in team
work, which counts a. great deal
against unusual personal ability. Doyle
Selden, and the kid" has a dash that
is irresistible when once he gets under
way. This criticism comes from one of
the veterans who went down before
Harold in the singles. II Selden can
help s Roye to any great ss t sn.ent the
telling what will happen in a tennis
battle after tho defeat Of O'Loughlin
and Williams by Johnston in the ma
tional tournament.
Miss Baker is almost at the top Of her
game at present, and 1t will take I'M
usual tennis by Miss Dufour to rob her
of her valued title of champion of the
District. Miss Bakers service is very
strong, and il Miss Dufour cannot
overcome it and keep her in the rear
Of the courts, the title will remain
where it is.
Matches All Easy.
The matches yesterday were, for the
most part, easy for the victors. SO
much SO as to cause surprise. 1t was
thought that Mayf1eld and Richards
would be hard nuts to crack for c.
Doyle and Selden, but they were
played off their feet and suffered de-
feat by the scores 6-1 and g.
Selden simply outdid himself in smash
ing, and should he be able to put up
the same sort of game today Gore and
Treanor are doomed.
In the other doubles match Louis
Doyle and Horace Barber were away
off their game and Gore and Treanor
walked to easy victory by score of
60 and 6-1.
