MARYLAND BOYS SHOW
RESPECT FOR THE FLAG
Salute "The Star Spangled Banner" "
Though Other Soldiers on Border
Ignore It.

Commendation Of Hyattsville boys
with the 1st Maryland organized mill
tia. stationed at Eagle Pass, is con-
tanned in many letters being received
from the border How three Maryland
boys, two of them from Hyattsville
gave an inspiring example Of respect
for the flag on the international bridge
across the Rio Grande is told in a let
ter just received by a Hyattsville citi-
zen from E. C. Jones.
The letter follows:
Three men of the 1st Maryland set
a beautiful example yesterday on the
international bridge over the Rio
Mexican town of Piedras Negras. The
incident does credit to their state. These
three boys-a corporal and two pri-
Yates of the 1st Maryland, Company
F-were on the bridge conversing with
me, having gone down to see me. Some
men of the National Guard of another
state, under command of a captain and
a lieutenant, were on guard duty on the
bridge.
while the three 1st Maryland boys
were talking with me retreat was heard
at Camp Eagle Pass, followed by the
band playing The Star Spangled Ban
ner.' Immediately upon the strains
land boys faced about, stood at atten-
tion and, as the last note sounded,
saluted.
IT looked about to see il the men from
the other state had followed suit. Not
one! One of the privates started to do
SO, but seeing that his officers and COM
rades were not doing so looked sheep
ish' and rested
The example set by these three 1st
Maryland boys is. I consider, deserving
of mention. The bridge was a fine place
for it. too, for many passengers, mostly
Mexicans, took note of it. The three
boys mentioned were Corp. T. Mortimer
Latimer and Private Percy Parlett, both
of Company F, Hyattsville. Md. and
another private whose name I didn't
