Executive Order Defines Form and
Appearance of National
Emblem.

The fact that there are some siXty-six
different sizes of national flags and
of various proportions in use in the

The order first directs that national
flags and union jacks for all depart
ments of the government, with certain
executions shall conform to propor-
tions as follows: Hoist (width) of
flag. /; fly 0ength) of nag. 10: hoist
of union. 7-13; fly of union. 0.76 width
of each stripe lib.
Colors carried by troops and camp
colors. among the exceptions, are di-
fected to be of sizes prescribed for
the military service. army and navy
With these exceptions, there is direct
ed to be limitation in the number of
sizes. The nineteen-foot flag is to be
the standard size; twelve sizes are pro-
vided for, from 1.31 feet to 20 feet
hosts.
The size of the union jack is to be
the size of the union of the national
flag when flown The position and
size of the stars is to be according to
a plan to be provided by the Navy and

Figure Effect on Future.

In view of the latest report Of the

week the press and public are devotlng
their attention to computing the losses

naval warfare The British estimate
Of eighteen German ships lost, as com

British claim is concerned IL IS pointed
5ut that the Germans did not ADMIT
ne loss of the cruiser Elbing until the
arrival OF some survivors from her in
Holland, and this is cited as confirna-

losses until forced by circumstances to
