Birthday of the Union Jack, War Banner
 of Great Britain

Today is the birthday of the Union Jack. the proud banner under which Englishnen. Sotchman. Irishmen, Welshmen, Canadians, A AAetralians, East Indians and men from other parts of the great empire on which the sun never sets are now fighting on the bloody fields of France. It was BOT years ago today, April 12. 1s06, that Ehe original flag of Eng land, the banner of St. George, white with the banner of Scotland which was blue with a white diagonal cross This coordination obtained the name of Union Jack in alIusion % the union between England and Scotland. and to the name of the monarch who brought about the consolidation of the crowns. This was James l. Of England and VI of Scotland, the word 'sJack' being corruption of the Latin word for James The ori- etnal arrangernent of the Union Jack continued until 1901, when, follow ing the union with Ireland. the ban- ner of St. Patrick. white with a diag- onaI red cross, was analgamated with it. The red Maltese cross of St. Patrick was placed over the white cross of. St. Andrew, so that. a thin white line on either side is all that remains of the Scottish cross.
 Of the other flags Of the princi- pal warning nations, the tri-coIor banner of France. red, white and blue, was adopted in 1789, shortly after the fall of the Basfi1e, which marked the beginning of the revolution. The Russian imperial banner is blaz- ing yellow flag with a, crowned dou- bleh headed eagle. It is under this brilliant banner that the hosts of the Car are now fighting on land The Warships use a different standard, a 1 St Andrews cross of blue on a white ground.
 The battle banner of the Germans is white with a black cross, on which is the Prussian eagle. The Kaiserse s nayy naunts a standard of black, Black and white are thee o1ors of I the Hohenzollerns.

 The German, Austrian and Russian banners, like the English, represent ] a, slow growth through many cen | turies and with frequent changes Since the ancient times men have carried distinguishing emblems 1T battle, but it was not until the sixth century that the flag acquired itt l present form m spain. Before ttha l it was just a small square of cIotE carried on a lance. The modern flas is said to have been introduced 1T Spain by the Saracens, those doughty warriors who were also said to have introduced science and learning into Europe oh the ends of their spears
 In former times all battle flag were consecrated by priests befort being carried into action, and to neg lect that precaution was. it wa thought, to invite certain defeat.
 The Turkish banner is a star ans crescent on a red field. The Belgian banner is black, yellow and red.
