NEW PRESIDENTIAL FLAG UP.
A new presidential flag flies from a
new flag pole erected on the porte
cochere of the White House. 1t is
the signal to Washingtonians and Wis.,
itors to the capital that the president
is at home. Heretofore it has been
the custom to fly the American flag
atop the White House when the pres
ident was in Washington and to lower
it when he was. out of the city. Presi-
dent Wilson felt that the American
flag should never be lowered and or
dered the erection of new flag pole
to carry the presidents flag.
: The new presidential flag is copied
from the flag used by George Wash
ington during his term as president,
and is a facsimile of the great seal
of the United States in the middle
of background of blue.
