declared the official emblem of the
secretary of the navy. Having thus
taken the union out of the ensign,
apparently in spirit of sentimental
economy, it was further ordered that
the remaining stripes or field of Old
Glory should do duty as symbol OF
flag rank.
Accordingly, the admirars flag be-
came rectilinear affair Of thirteen
horizontal stripes, alternate red and
white, to be worn at the main. The
vice-admiral was to carry the same
flag flown at the fore, while the rear
admiral was to have this badge car
ried at the mizzen. Farragut was bit
terly opposed to the change and, in
fact, never consented to it.
When David Dixon Porter upon the
death of Farragut became admiral of
the navy he inherited the striped flag
which his predecessor had repudiated,
and for six years it was displayed
upon various occasions, but the
symbol was not permanently estab.
lished, because in 1876 there was a
change. For various reasons, among
them past usage and service and for
the convenience of distinguishing the
order of seniority Of officers of the
same grade, the secretary of the navy
restored the blue emblem Of flag rank

That there are handsome rewards
for those who are able to devise i'm

shown in sums that have been paid in
fees to inventors at army ordnance
factories for the year ending March,
1914. No less than $4,000, for in
stance, was paid to Col. G. L. Holden,
late superintendent Of the royal gun
and carriage factories, for various in
ventions and improvements connected
with ordnance mountings, machine
tools, etc., in addition to $500 paid on
another account; while G2,850 was
paid to Mr.. w. T. Thomson, chemist
and manager, respectively, of the
Royal Gunpewder factory, for improve
ments in the manufacture Of nitro
cellulose and accompanying apparatus,
in addition to previous G1,150.
Smaller amounts, such as 9250 to

annoyance as it was in 1912.
We all know of the glorious work
of David Porter during the war of 1872
in the Essex. He created fleet out
of his St. Ladron of prizes and his sub
ordinates gladly called him commo-
dore and recognized his we'll earned
right to broad pennant. Yet, to use
the language of the time, Mr.. Thomp-
son, the secretary of the navy, issued
all order which "unshipped his stars
and degraded his title" when Porter
came ashore. There was nothing last
ing in the brevet of commodore. and
the flag became a memory rather than
lasting emblem Of gallant service
that had justified it when afioat and
aface with the perils of war.
There was lack of harmony in the
practice Of carrying these symbols of
flag rank, and this led Isaac Toucey,
when secretary of the navy, to pre-
scribe in 1858: at is hereby ordered
| that in lieu of the broad pennant now
worn by flag officers in command of
| squadrons they shall wear plain blue
flag of dimensions proportionate to the
different classes of vessels prescribed
| for the jack Flag officers whose
| date of commission as captain Is over
| twenty years shall wear it at the fore !;
all others at the mizzen."
The incorrectness of hosting a rear
admiral's flag at the main instead OF
at the mizzen, where the long estab-
lished usage of other naval powers
had placed 1t. soon became apparent,
and at the instance of Richard H.
Dana, then In congress, the position
Of the flag was made agreeable to
general custom without regard to the
rear admiral's seniority. AS result
Farragut lowered his flag from the
main and raised 1t at the miZzen
where a rear admiral's flag should fly
Outwardly this seemed like reduc
ton in his dignity.
In 1866 distinctive flag apart from
1 its position on the ship was ordered
for him and then for the first time
appeared the four white stars in the
center forming diamond. At the
same time the vice-admiral acquired
three stars, the rear admiral two and
the commodore's broad pennant was
entitled to one, the erstwhile centra

rise accordingly in the eyes of for
elgners. In the past history of the
navy the grade of admiral has
figured but three times in living rep
resentatives and each time but sin
gle officer has enjoyed the rank. First
there was Farragut, then Porter, and
after lapse of more than seven years
following the latter's death George
Dewey won the honor
But while David Glasgow Farragut
was the first man in the United States
navy to win by virtue of congress the
legal title of admiral, the rank as a
q brevet and by right of appropriation
was ninety-one years old in the an
nails of the service. This may be news
to the public generally, but neverthe-
less it is matter of indisputable rec
ord.
In foreign service some centuries
back it was the custom to call the
ranking officer of the fleet admiral.
Therefore when the American navy
was established there was reason why
our senior officer should assume the
designation accorded his position in
other countries. Our first president
was of this opinion. On the 22d of
December, 1775, the Continental con.
gress commissioned Esek Hopkins, an
old and experienced seaman, COM
mander in chief of the navy, and Gen
George Washington officially ad.
