ton after the SHOCK was TO puy q
whole lot Of bait and go away off on
O fishing trip, but remembrance Of his
mother came over him, and, like a good
fellow, he resolved to send her a five
dollar gold piece.
His first surprise came when he
found that his trade dollars, which con-
tanned more silver than do the silver
dollars, were valued only as bullion
and his whole Sc was worth only
1886. He had overlooked the fact
that when those dollars were issued,
back in 1873, Uncle Sam had omitted
to indorse them or to give them any
monetary value other than their silver
content.
So he did with his So what his Uncle
Samuel had done-he went through
a little transaction in high finance
which makes one blush for him. He
mixed his dollars up with some stand
ard" silver dollars and persuaded q
small storekeeper to give him bills for
them. 1t happened that these bills
were silver certificates.
He tried to induce the treasury de
partment to take them in exchange for
the gold piece intended for his mother,
but the treasury department politely
told him that, while the law provided
that the secretary of the treasury
should maintain gold and silver on q
parity, the section had been construed
to mean that silver certificates could
not produce gold coin.
Thereupon wild thoughts of the bait
and the fishing trip rushed upon him
again, but his blood was now up, and
he determined somehow to secure that
gold piece for the mother, who was be
coming momentarily dearer. He sue
ceeded after a time in exchanging bis
silver certificates for a legal tender note
for So, and, although such notes are
protected by a gold reserve equal to
only about a third of the issue, the de.
partment without hesitation gave him
the gold coin.
The narrator of the tale could not re
member whether the gold piece ever
reached the mother or was spent to
celebrate the modern method of the
transmutation of Observation-Disclosures

ence and later when it was fighting to
establish firmly the foundations of the
greatest republic of the world.
From 1917 to 1901 this collection of
flags, which should be one of Amer
ica's most highly priced treasures, was
kept at the Naval academy and exhib-
tied in the old naval institute hall.
In 1901, when 1t wassdecided to tear
down this building, the flags were
packed in iro2b0xes and stored away.
Being In a dilapidated condition when
they were taken down to be packed,
grave fears were entertained that they
would be further damaged by moths.
During the ten years they remained
in storage repeated efforts were made
to have the government take some
steps to put them in a permanent state
of preservation, but without success.
In 1912 congress appropriated $4,000
for the work of preservation.
About three months later Mrs. Amelia
Fowler, an expert on flag preservation,
obtained the services of forty needle
women, who began the arduous task
of sewing over by hand every inch of
the 1 5000 square yards in the flags, as
the natural decay of age as well as the
almost hopeless ravages of moths made
any ordinary method of preservation
seem impossible.
A special process was originated by
Mrs. Fowler, which is described as
spreading the tattered remnants Of
each flag upon a backing of heavy
Irish linen of neutral color"
The delicate work was guided by the
original measurement of the flag, by
a knowledge of its design and by plac.
ing in vertical and horizontal line the
warp and wool threads in the frag-
ments of bunting.
What remained of the original flag
was then sewed firmly to the linen
backing by needlewomen under Mrs.
Fowler's instruction and guidance.
Less than a year after the labor of
repairing was begun, on May 10, 1913,
the flags were completed and put on
exhibition at the Naval academy.
In the ceiling of the academic build
ing is n of the most interesting of
the trophy flags. 1t is a British royal
standard taken from the parliament
house at York, now Toronto, then the
capital of upper Canada. when the
place was taken by the squadron under
Commodore Isaac Chauncey and a land
force under General Zebulon Montgom-
cry Pike, April q, 1913.
The squadron, with about LOO sol
dlers aboard, effected a landing at York
under cover of a fire of grape from the
ships, cleared a way through the In
dams and sh%arpshooters that the Eng
lish had formed to oppose them and
stormed the batteries. The capture of
York resulted In the acquisition Of the
royal standard, the only British royal
standard captured and held by any
nation.
The flags captured by Admiral Dewey
at Manila bay are In this auditorium,
and some of them are exquisite. The
one flown at the main of the Spanish
cruiser Don Antonio de Ulloa is a re-
minder of the plucky captain Of that
cruiser, Enrique Robiou, who refused
to surrender at the battle of Manila
bay ON May /, 1898, so the Ulloa sank
with its guns blazing defiance and all
flags dying.-Boston Globe.

nal decision on the alJlluue OF tue
American government waits on the Of
fetal text some cabinet members indi-
Gated that the German assurances
probably would be accepted and that
diplomatic relations would not be
broken unless the order to submarine
commanders was violated and Ameri-
can lives endangered.
Washington, May 6.-President Will
son and the cabinet went carefully
over the German note as transmitted
in news dispatches from Berlin.
A first feeling that It was unsatis-
factory, was somewhat leavened by
the text of the new orders to subma-
rine commanders, although II was
foreseen that the reference to immu-
nifty for merchant ships recognized by
international law might admit of some
dispute of Interpretation.
So much depends upon words and
their shades of meaning involved in
translation from German to English
that no decision can be attempted until
the official text is in the Presidents
hands.
Secretary Lansing met all inquiries
with this reply:
81 can not discuss II at all at this
time"
ALI the other members of the cab
met made similar statements. II was
made plain that President Wilson
would decide after studying the OFF,
cial text.
At the State Department, after the
cabinet meeting, II was stated that no
"hasty" action would be taken on the
German note, and that In view of its
length and the necessity of digeslng
Il carefully, II was improbable" that
any decision would be reached before
next week.
The cabinet was in session two
hours and half-the longest meeting
held in several months.
Members of the cabinet we're I'M
communicative, all saying that no fur
Their steps would be taken until the Of
fetal text was placed before President
Wilson.
The private view OF officials appar-
emily was that the new orders to sub
marine commanders apparently met
the demands of the United States I'M
less an Interpretation were placed on
them to lead TO attack on merchant
vessels armed for defensive purposes.
The general tenor of the German note,
however, was considered unsatisfac-
tory.
Ambassador Gerard cabled yester-
day that he had started it on the cables
and that 1t should be in Washington
tonight.

MY ONE BEST REASON FOR
VOTING FOR WILSON
BY Meredith Nicholson
(AUthor of 1.-THE House of Thousand
Candles" etc.
I shall vote for the reelection of
Pres. Wilson because, having been
trusted with power and subjected to
the most trying tests conceivable, he
has demonstrated in the highest de-
gree his fitness to stand as the pro-
tagonist of forward-looking America.
The democratic ideal has never
had a more efficient exponent than
he. He has succeeded in putting into
effect more big ideas than may be
credited to any other president who
has sat in the seat of Washington in
my lifetime.
He is a man of vision, intent upon
winning for all the people, patiently
and by sheer force of reason, all that
makes for life, liberty and happiness.
1 believe it to be the duty of all
who love America and believe in her
as yet unrealized influence upon the
worlds thought and progress to. re-
