OLD GLORY.
The Story of Its Birth in Betsy Ross
Little House.

If you were walking down one of
the business streets of Philadelphia
today, you might see little old
house, almost hidden by the ware
houses that tower above it on both
sides, declares the July American
Boy. And probably you would Won
der how in the world that little old
house came to be left there when all
the property around had been built
up for business purposes. 1t is just
another proof that while Americans
are apt to think good deal OF
money and business, they also save
room in their hearts for patriotism,
for it is just in that little house that
"Old Glory was born. And that
happened one hundred and forty
years ago, in Its.
''The colonies were then at war
with England and Gen. Washington
asked the Continental congress to de-
eide upon some one emblem to stand
for all the colonies Congress ap-
pointed a committee of three men,
one of whom was Washington him
self, to "designate suitable flag for
the nation"
Gen. Washington and his friends
had their own ideas about how the
flag ought to be made, and they de-
cided to talk to Mrs. Betsy Ross about
making it. She lived in the little
house in Philadelphia and kept all
upholstery shop there. In their de-
sign the flag was to have thirteen
stripes, and on a blue field star for
every colony. The men had decided
on a six-point star, but Mrs. Ross
thought five-point star would look
better, and we have used five point
star ever since. She was very skill
full needlewoman, and there in the
room back of her little shop she made
the first star-spangled banner. 1t
was neatly made, and very beautiful,
and when Gen. Washington saw it he
was delighted.

cruiser of the dreadnaught type, one
battle cruiser seen to be so severely
damaged that it's return was extreme
ly doubtful; five light cruisers, seen
to sink-one of them possibly bat
tleship-six. destroyers, seen to sink !;
three destroyers, so damaged that it
was doubtful if they would be able
to reach port, and submarine sunk.
In concluding Admiral Jellicoe says.
- tThe conditions of low visibility,
under which the action took place,
and the approach of darkness en-
hanced the difficulty of giving an &C
curate report of the damage inflicted
or the names of the ships sunk by our
forces. But, after most careful ex-
animation of the evidence of all the
officers who testified to seeing enemy
vessels actually sink, I am OF the
opinion that the list shown in the en-
closure gives the minimum numbers.
In addition to the vessels sunk it is
unquestionable that many other ships
were very seriously damaged by. gun
fire and torpedo attack
Loss of Queen Mary.
ssI deeply regret to report the loss
of his majesty's ships Queen Mary,
Indefatigable, Invincible, Defence,
Black Prince, Warrior, Tipperary, Ar
dent, Fortune, Shark, Sparrow Hawk,
Nestor, Nomad and Turbulent. Still
more do I regret the resultant heavy
loss of life
The report pays tribute to the en-
CINE and fire room force of the ships,
and states that several ships attained
speeds that had never before been
reached.
The hardest fighting fell to the bat
tie cruiser fleet, says Admiral Jelli-
coe, and he expresses high apprecia-
ton on the handling of all the ves,-
sells, and commends Admirals Bur-
ney, Jeram, Standes, Evan-Thomas,
Duff and Leveson.
Technical Description.
The report then goes into techni-
cal description of advances of various
units of the British fleet and of the
ranges at which shots were fired un-
til the German ships were entirely
out of sight at 9 p. m.
After failure to find the enemy the
next day, the report continues:
''The waters from the latitude of
Horn Reif to the scene of action were
thoroughly searched and some sur
vivors were picked up. The Sparrow
Hawk, which had been in collision,
was no longer seaworthy, and was
sunk after the crew was taken off.
A large amount of wreckage was
seen, but no enemy ships, and at
1:15, it being evident that the Ger
man fleet had succeeded in returning
to port, our course was shaped for
our bases, which were reached with
out incident on Friday, the End OF
June.
''The cruiser squadron was detach-
ed to search for the Warrior, which
had been abandoned while in tow of
the Engadine on the way to the base,
owing to the vessel becoming unsea-
worthy. No trace of her was discov-
cred, and further subsequent search
by the light cruiser squadron hav-
ing failed to locate her, it was evil
dent that she had foundered.
''The fleet was fuelled, replenish-
ed it's ammunition and at $50 p. m.
on the End of June was reported
ready for further action

MEXICANS KILLED WOUNDED.
Bodies of Negro Troops Bore Evi-
dence of Maltreatment.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 6.-Under an
escort of Carranza soldiers, the
bodies of Captain Charles T. Boyd
and Lieut.. Harry Adair and seven
negro troopers, who were killed in
the battle of Carrizal, were brought
to the international bridge here this
forenoon and formally turned over to
American military authorities. Large
crowds of people swarmed about the
| bridge as the transfer took place
There was no demonstration, how
ever.
The bodies were deposited for the
time at the Santa Fe station. Later
accompanied by an escort of Eighth
Cavalrymen, they were taken to a
local undertaking establishment and
prepared for burial.
Short military rvices will be held
here for the dea and then the
bodies will be shipped to relatives
Those who cannot be identified will
be buried in Arlington cemetery.
IA Unaccounted For.
The return of nine bodies today
still leaves fourteen unaccounted for
All the bodies were stripped to the
skin. They were found, not in sep.
arate graves, but all dumped togeth.
er in one large hole.
Stories brought back by the men
who made the trip to Carrizal indi.
cate that the negro troopers, al.
though facing 500 Mexicans, really
won the Carrizal battle. 1t is be.
lieved they captured the machine
guns and were prepared to sweep on
through the town when the ammuni.
ton gave out.
In one trench at Carrizal there
were bodies of 49 Mexicans. And
there were six trenches. The under.
takers said they did not investigate
the other five, as the Mexican atti.
tude. toward such a procedure was
distinctly hostile. They believe, how.
ever, that the troopers accounted fol
between $50 and 200 Mexicans be.
fore the tide of battle turned.
Bodies Perforated.
All of the bodies were pierced and
repierced with bullet holes, indicat.
ing that stories of Mexicans shooting
the wounded and dying had their
foundation in fact. Soldiers viewing
them said it would have been impos.
sible for the bodies to have become
so perforated in legitimate engage
ment
One of the bodies was found hun.
dred yards away from the hole into
which the rest had been thrown. II
was shot through the legs numerous
times and in the temple was a hole
1t was the ironic ''shot of grace
which a Mexican captain of firing
squad always puts into the head of an
executed and dying man.
Mexican poems told the funeral
party how a firing squad of six drag.
ged some Of the wounded to a nearby
limekiln and finished them there.
