REAL HISTORY OF

18th century, or nearly 500 years prior
to the first Flag Day." June IA. 1777.
During the first crusade In 1895.
Pope Urban II assigned to all of the
Christian nations as standards crosses

attic Of the warfare In which they
were engaged. To the Scotch troops
was assigned the white satire, known
as the white cross of St. Andrew, on a
blue field. The British used yellow
cross. but century and a quarter
later they adopted red cross on a
white field. known as the red cross OF
st. George.

he combined the two flags, and issued
a proclamation requiring all ships to
carry the new flag at their main
masts. At the same time the vessels
of south Britain were to carry at
their foremasts the red cross of st.
George and the ships of north Britain
to carry the white cross OF st. An,
drew.
The new flag was known as Kings
Colors," the union Colors," or the
Great Union" and later as the Union
Jack" and was the one under which
the British made all their permanent
settlements in Amarfsa. 1t was the
flag of Great Britain only by proclama-
ton. however; not until 1907 did par
Lament pass an act definitely uniting
the two countries and their flags. In
the same year the government issued
regulations requiring the navy to use
what was known as the white ensign;
the naval reserve. the blue ensign;
and the merchant marine, the red en-
sign. Owing to the fact that the Brit
fish merchant vessels were everywhere,
the colonists In America came to look
upon this red ensign as the flag OF
Great Britain.
The people in the New England col
onies were bitterly opposed to the
cross In the flag In 1885 some of the
troops In Massachusetts, declined to
march under this flag and the military
commissioners were forced to design
other flags for their troops with the
cross left out. The design they adopt
ed has not been preserved. In 1852 a
mint was established in Boston.
Money coined In this mint had the
pine tree stamped on one side OF 1t.
The pine tree design was also used
on New England flags, certainly by
1704 and possibly as early as 1885.
At the outbreak Of the Revolution
the American colonies had no flag
common to all Of them. In many cases
the merchant marine flag OF England
was used with the pine tree substi-
tuted for the Union Jack. Massa-
chusetts adopted the green pine tree
on white field, with the motto: IAN
Appeal to Heaven" Some OF the south
ern states had the rattlesnake flag
with the motto Don't Tread on Me-
on a white or yellow field. This flag
had been used by South Carolina as

the American associations of his in
teresting career. He has made several
visits to this country, one of them
resulting In love affair which, after
worldwide publicity, left the duke
still bachelor. He is distinguished
as an explorer and mountain climber,
and at the time OF the earthquake
which destroyed Messina, as well as
last January, when Avezzano and its
vicinity were roughly shaken, he was
a leader in relief work
From his earliest youth the duke
has made his life one of activity and
of service. He entered the navy and
came to the United States on board

DEN MARK.

A dispatch from Copenhagen de-
clares that Denmark is greatly stirred
over Great Britain's proposal to limit
and perhaps to prohibit the exporta-
ton OF coal to neutral countries. A
delegation has been sent to London to
attempt to adjust the matter. Ameri-
can coal companies have agreed to
send Denmark 100000 tons of coal
every month, but the prices are higher
than those charged by the English
concerns.
The impending strike of the walters
In Copenhagen was warded off at the
last moment after a days negotiation
between representatives of the con-
tending parties. Adolph Jensen. the
head of government department,
who acted as a mediator, succeeded in
drawing up an agreement which salts
fled both parties. The new agreement
is to be in force for two years.
The city council of Copenhagen has
appropriated 1880 for the distribu-
ton of free street car tickets among
the poor people of the city. Those
who are found to ride much on the
street. cars In connection with their
calling will have the first chance to
get free tickets. Copenhagen Is the
first city in Scandinavia to grant this
aid to the blind.
The street car service in Copenhagen
was greatly reduced the first of June
because SO many of the conductors and
motormen were ordered to join the
army.
Remains of oak piling and other
wooden objects and of pottery have
been found under natural layers of sand

Rev Gustav Jensen has completed
the task of revising the Lanstad hymn
book. and 1900 copies of it have been
printed for distribution among the
ministers who are to pass judgment on
the work. 1t is said that 1t will not
be put on the market until approved
by the church department. The hymnal
contains about 200 new hymns and 100
of the old ones are left out, so that the
new book contains so more hymns
than the Landstad hymn book The
dialect hymns are not put by them
selves, but are distributed throughout
the book according to their contents.
In the standard language hymns the
reformed spelling and photography are
followed rather conservatively. The
church people are naturally anxious
to see the new book and sample copies
may be had by direct application to the
church department.
