Tells of Gardens Attractions.

Complying with your request for
some little data concerning the Botanic
Gardens that might be of interest to
the veterans. let me say that one of
the most striking and beautiful speci-
mems of the American hornbeam tree
probably the finest in Americas on
the left Of the southern entrance to
the gardens, and this particular tree
was planted by President Lincoln. OPP
posite it stands a towering cedar of
Lebanon. Near the central part of the
gardens are trees planted by Booth
and Forrest, the actors.
"On the north front is the great oak
planted by Senator jCrittenden to COM
memorate the peace between the north
and south. The Lebanon cedar was
planted by Gilmoure, the great French
horticulturist.
I'm addition to these features, there
will be noticed an avenue of palms
worth thousands of dollars stretching
from the west to the east walls, and
on the axis of the Monument and Cap
itol-
There is splendid oak brought
from the tomb of Confucius, the great
Chinese philosopher.
Beds of rare exotic plants are here.
and, indeed, specimens from every part
of the world. There are in full bloom
and fruit banana trees. coffee plants.
the avocado or alligator pear and a
rare specimen of apple. the fruit grow

W. ". Cox, Sons of the American

of how the flag has been used for ad-

Mrs. Isabel worrell Bali, who has
been chairman of the national commit
tee of the Woman's Relief Corps on
Prevention of the Dissertation of the
Flag for a number of years, has in her
possession nearly 500 advertisements
and samples of straight commercial
and political dissertations of the flag.
Mrs. Ball also has more than 5000
protests from various organizations,
both patriotic and civic. throughout
the United States, wherein the prot
estants express their indignation that
the nag shall be in any way desecrated
by being used as an advertisement or

FLAG ADVERTISEMENTS
ARE TO Be CONDEMNED
Resolutions to Prohibit Use of
U. S. Banner or Seal to Be Of
fered at Reunion.

Earnest protest against the use OF
the United States flag or the great seal
for commercial purposes and desecra-
ton of the flag is one Of the important
measures that will be urged for. def
mite action at the coming encampment
of the grand army.
One Of the resolutions to this effect
is proposed by Asa Curl OF. Company c.
18th o. v. l., LIST Brigade, Sd Division,
18th Army Corps, and has the indorse-
ment of the Department of Colorado
and Wyoming.
The protest over use of the United
States flag for advertising purposes Is
largely on account of it's use abroad,
as foreigners seem to have an idea
that an advertisement which bears the
imprint of the great seal of the United
States or the United States f1ag/1s a
guarantee by the United States gov
eminent. OF course, this is only an
implied suggestion by those advertis-
ing. but it carries great weight.
Hundreds of bills have been intro
duced into Congress for a federal
statute. The United States is the only
nation that does not thus protect it's
flag

Some Have Not Seen Navy Vessels.

oOAS lave MOT 0eeu navy vessels.
The ordering of the naval vessels
here by the Navy Department is likely
to provide one of the most popular at
fractions of the G. A. r. week. There
are SO many visitors coming from the
inland states who have never had an
opportunity to see a war vessel of any
description that already the committee
is being besieged for permits to visit
them. There seems to be particular in
terest in the submarine, type of YES
sci most of those coming to the en-
campment have never seen. The Navy
Department will announce as soon as
possible just which submarine will be
ordered here, and will give out for
publication brief history of it's
career.
The committees in charge of the base
ball benefit for the G. A. r. entertain
ment fund met at the Board Of Trade
offices last night, but were unable to
make a final report on the proceeds of
the game, as many of the $4,000 tickets
distributed for sale through the-gov-
eminent departments had not been re-
turned with an accounting. The COM
mittees today issued a request to all
who had tickets for sale for the bene-
fit game to send in their returns as
soon as possible so that the money may
be portioned out for the various enter
tainment features of Grand Army
week. The next meeting of the COM
mittees will be held Thursday evening

Gelmany's "Fryc" Reply.

Berlin, June 9.-Germany has
sent a note in reply to the prepre
senationS of the American govern
ment regarding the American sail
ing ship William p. Frye, which was
sunk by the German auxiliary crui-
ser PrinZ Eitel Friedrich last Janu-
airy. The note reiterates the origi-
nal view taken by Germany, which
was that the case should be sent to
prize court.
The A .nerican government asked
that compensation should be paid for
the destruction of the vessel without
waiting for a decision by the prize
court, but German, although ready
to indemnity the owners for their
loss in any case, under the provis-
ions Of the Germany-American
treaty, holds as a general principle
that owing to the possibility that
others than Americans have inter-
ests at stake the prize court should
first pass on all cases.
