FLAGS IN HISTORY
Symbols Have Been Subject to
Many Changes.
Those Of Today the Result Of Slow
Growth Through centurles--sara-
Gems Given Credit for Intro
ductlon of Banner.

The Union Jack, the banner under
which Englishmen, Scotchmen, irish
men, Welshmen, Canadians, Australi-
ans, 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, was de-
signed 307 years ago, in 1906. The
original flag of England, the banner
of st. George, white with red cross,
was incorporated then with the ban
ner of Scotland, which was blue with
a white diagonal cross. This combina-
tion obtained the name Of Union
jack" in allusicn to the union be-
tween England and Scotland, and to
the name of the monarch who brought
about the consolidation Of the crowns.
This was James ! of England and Vi
Of Scotland, the word Jack" being q
corruption of Jacobus, the Latin word
for James. The original arrangement
of the Union Jack continued until
1901, when following the union with
Ireland, the banner Of st. Patrick.
white with diagonal red cross, was
amalgamated with it. The red NAL
tese 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.
The many nationalities comprising
the empire of Franz Josef fight under
a common flag of red and white, the
colors Of the Hapsburg dynasty. There
are red stripes at the top and bottom
of the banner, and on the central
white stripe appears the Austrian coat
Of arms. The German, Austrian and
Russian banners, like the English,
represent slow growth through many
centuries and with frequent changes.
Since ancient times men have carried
distinguishing emblems in battle, but
it was not until the sixth century that
the flag acquired its present form In
Spain. Before that 1t was Just q small
square Of cleth carried on lance.
The modern flag is said to have been
introduced in Spain by the Saracens'

Americans Go to War.

Washington, D. C.--More than 500
American boys under 18 years old,
have been discharged SO far from the
