GRADUATE OF WEST POINT

By direction of the President Brig.
Gen. John G. D. Knight, Z. S. A., re-
tired, today was assigned to active duty
as Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He will succeed
Lieut.. Col. Charles W. Kutz, Corps of
Engineers, who, at his own request, will
be assigned to active military duty with
troops in the field, probably in France.
Col. Kutz has rendered good service for
the District government since October,
1914. When war was declared with
Germany he applied for regular mill
tary duty, but up to this time it was
deemed inexpedient by the President to
relieve him from his duties with the
District government
The detail of retired engineer Of
f1cer as Engineer Commissioner of the
District was made possible by pro-
vision of the army appropriation bill
recently enacted authorizing the en-
ployment of retired engineers in duties
in the line of their active experience.

Irish FLAGS.

Since sooner or later home rule will
be fact In Ireland, the question of an
Irish flag is one which should be set
tied as rapidly as possible. A good
deal Of thought has been given the sub
ject since the passing Of the home
rule act. Apparently the proposals
which have met with most approval
are n red st. Patrick's cross on a white
ground, charged with four shamrocks
and golden sunburst on blue
ground" The latter was the banner
of Fionu MacCumball's Fenians. An
other design which has supporters con-
sists of three golden crowns on n blue
ground, part Of the arms Of Munster.
This was Ireland's national emblem
from the twelfth century until the
three were replaced by the harp, by
order Of Henry VIII. Nobody has pro-
posed green as one Of the colors green
first being used by the United Irish
men In l79S as an "amalgamation" OF
the orange Of the North and the blue
