WHERE ARE THE FLAGS?

FroL the Charleston Gazette.
Only few short months ago the
city was ablaze with the national
colors, for in the emotional first mo-
ments of our entrance into the war,
there flew from every building the
broad stripes and bright stars -
Ones every emergence from the
hous. was greeted with sight of the
colors, borne aloft by some gentle
breeze in its playful affection for the
symbol and the splendid colors Of che
bit of fabric.
Today one can look skyward and
see only an occasional flag, many dis
colored, many just tattcred remnants
of once splendid flags. The elements
have played havoc with these symbols
OF our devotion and flag of our coun-
try. .
Surely this is no time to even be neg
ligentin our devotion in such SIM
pie manner as keeping the flag float
ing from our places of business and
our homo. A flag in front of the
house reflects the intensity of love OF
country of The occupants. We in
stinctively entertain a common affec-
titn for the occupants of house,
decorated with flag, even if we do
not know the occupants by name.
Their patriotism is ours; we have SO
r,uch in common, but some express
their loyalty by Haunting into the
faces of the sympathizers with the
enemy state of mind, with as much
expression as. if they shouted from a
Ihousetop:
This is my own. my native land. ("
