difficulty in getting material will be
somewhat relieved by the time the

completed There is no chance ,ha,
the buildings will be ready for use until

during that term.

Udell CAVIAR. daughter OF William
Henry CAVIAR, OF West + avenue, was
winner Of the flag essay contest at the
Lee school Miss CAVIAR is a pupil oil
grade 8B.
Following is the essay that won the
prize OF an American flag:
The colors of our flag mean much
TO our country The first one is red ;
il stands for the blood shed for this
country. 1t also stands for bravery. ne
next one is white it stands for purity.
Blue stands for truth. q,
Our flag would mean more to us II
we would just think about it. 1t We.
should 20 over to another country and
stand under the flag OF America while
i, floats over us. we would be very glad
TO get back under our own flag while
it is waving over our own country.
Our flag means protection to us. IL
protects US on land and on the sea.
Our flag does not seem much to 9th
er countries. They would rather stand
under their floating flag than any other.
On June IA, l777, our flag was ra'sed
BY Paul Jones. And it was made by
Mrs. Elizabeth Ross.
The stars of our flag represent the
48 states OF which we are very proud.
The stripes represent the thirteen New
England colonies which were the first
ones settled The first time the flag
was raised in battle was at the Brandy
wine.

MENT BEHIND THE ALLIES
FRONT, May 2S--Here, where the
Belgian army is making its own cannon,
its own rifles, its own shells, its own
transport wagons, its own saddles and
harness, one can appreciate how otheI
outstanding features OF the war have
unduly obscured the Belgian military
effort since the battles Of 1914.
Important Section of Line.
The Belgian army has six divisions
Of infantry and two divisions OF cavalry
left to hold line Of approximately
eighteen miles, or Just about four men
to the yard of front; front where
particular vigilance is required because
OF the German tactics OF constant trial
attacks No part OF the allies line iS

Belgium lost all her manufacturing
establishments and all her resources in
raw materials in the defeat OF the allies
at Charleroi and in the retreat from
Antwerp, yet Monsgnor De Broque-
vile, minister of war, has built UP on
the hospitable soil OF France artillery
and munitions establishments that not
only enable the Belgian army to reply
shot for shot to the Germans on the
User front but also contribute TO the
armament and supplies OF the allied
armies.

II was 10 the United States that Mon
sieur DR. Broquevile looked immedi-
atcly after the termination OF the heroic
defense of the Belgian soil on the Yser

American machine tools for the manu-.
facture Of everything the army needed
and when the machines arrived. men
from military service were ready 10
operate them. Fourteen thuosand work
men are today employed in those estab-
lishments.
The invasion found the Belgian army
in the midst of reorganization OF rs
artillery. Siege cannon ordered from
the Krupp works in Germany had no
been furnished. Millions Of cartridges
ordered from the same source also hac
been held up. II was with a disorgan
