Flag Day.

Today-Flag Days neither ma
tional nor a legal holiday, and yet it
commentaries an event of supreme
importance to all true lovers of liber-
ty. 1t was on June IA, 1777, 14O
years ago, that Congress officially
adopted as the emblem of the nation
the Stars and Stripes.
Paul Jones was the first to raise
the new flag over naval vessel. This
vessel was the Ranger, and the flag
which foated over his ship was made
by the girls of Portsmouth from their
best silk gowns. OF especial interest
Just now is the fact that France, to
which country Jones sailed with the
Ranger, was the first of all the ma
tons of the world to ~salute the Stars
and Stripes, the guns of a French
man-o war booming out the salute
as the Ranger hove in sight off the
coast of France. The dispatches
which Jones carried announced the
surrender of the hated Burgoyne
and greatly accelerated the alliance
between France and America, thus
fastening the deliverance OF thu
colonies.

Army of 2,750,000.

Washington, June 12.-The Con-

of 2,750, 900 men, who have offered
themselves without indicating any
exemption because of physical disa-
bility, dependent relatives or occupa-
tional claims, according to a state
ment made by Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder.
The total registration will foot in
the neighborhood of 100000, the

Memorial Unveiled.

Last Friday large equestrian stat

at Gettysburg, Pa, in the presence
of a thousand or more Virginians and
many thousands of people from points
in Pennsylvania.
A granddaughter of the great lead

unveiled this tribute of the Common
wealth of Virginia to the memory of
the superb army which General Lee
commanded in the greatest battle
ever fought upon the American con-
tinent.
More than thousand veterans of
the battle itself, most of them wear
ing the uniform of the Confederate
soldier, though many wore the blue,
stood with barred heads and dimmed
eyes as the folds of the American flag
fell away from the bronze warrior.
AS the flag dropped little further,
showing General Lee mounted upon
his old war horse, Traveller" a
mighty shout rose from the multitude
and echoed across valleys once red

War Bond Explained.
Patriotic Meeting Held Here In
Interest of Liberty Loan.

The meeting held last night in the
interest of the Liberty Loan was not
not large one, in fact, the Hall was
not more than half full, and of those
present the ladies predominated. 1t
does our town very little credit to
show the lukewarmness that it is
evident exists here towards the large
Government Loan liberty Loan)
that is now being hoated.
Mr.. Brenaman very generously
closed his picture show in order that
the patrons could be present at this
meeting.
We are quite sure that if some
quack doctor with a couple black
faced artists had been billed the Hall
would have been crowded.
The meeting was addressed by
Stewart Symington and Gen. J.
Kemp Bartlett, of Baltimore, and the
war with its horrible consequences
was brought out very wildly in their
addresses. Gen. Bartlett made a
telling address, in which he drove
home the fact that it was not only
the duty of every person to buy a
bond but deemed it a great privilege
to be permitted to own a government
bond, especially a bond of govern
ment the richest on the face of the
earth, the wealth of which is equal
to that of England, France and Ger
MANY combined. Gen. Bartlett told
the audience number of things that
few had ever heard of, and he pre-
scented the facts in such a way that
his word carried conviction with
them, and it is felt that many went
home impressed as never before that
it was their duty to get behind this
Liberty Loan and help to show the
war lords of Europe that the United
States intends to see this war to a
finish for the benefit of mankind and
for the establishment of everlasting
peace.

The Navy.
Elegant Opportunity Fol
Young Men at This Time.

The life of sailor, and particular
ly the life of man. war 's-man
with it's adventures, ever changing
scenes, new countries, new people,
following the sea from port to port,
from one ocean to another, has al
ways appealed strongly to the imagi-
nation of men of spirit. In the re-
cord of the deeds of the men of the
United States Navy, from John Paul
Jones to Admiral Dewey, the young
American can find the highest inspir-
alton; for our Navy, both in time OF
war and Of peace, has played a great
honorable, and often glorious part in
the history Of the country. The Navy
has been, throughout its entire exist
ence a service of high ideals; and its
unbroken record of great and worthy
achievement, of duty well done. has
been due to the high standard set for
officers and men in the beginning
and maintained ever since. This
standard was never higher than it is
today; and any young American who
thinks of going into the Navy may
feel sure that, on enlisting, he will
enter a service in which he may, and
should, always feel a justifable pride
and of which the uniform is a badge
of honor.
But, in addition to chance of SER
ing the country in an honorable posi-
ton, a place in the Navy offers, as a
livelihood, many advantages, such
as steady employment; good practi-
cal training; speedy promotion; pro-
vision for old age; healthful life;
an opportunity for travel and educa-
ton. The pay is graded according
to a mans skill and length of service
and compares favorably with that of
highly paid labor in civil life. Indeed,
when it is remembered that blue
Jackets pay is nearly clear Of all liv-
ing expenses, it is doubtful that, in
ord mary times, there is any class OF
workmen better paid than the enlist
ed men of the Navy.
Any young man who wishes to en-
list must, Of course, come up to the
requirements of the Navy, in chara-
cter, in physique, in education and
in ability. He must earn his advan-
Gem ent; if he is without skill or ex-
perience in any trade, he must, (and
should) be willing to start at the bot
tom and work up a grade at time,
as thousands of others like him have
done.
Full particulars of Navy enlistment
can be obtained from the nearest
postmaster; directly from the Navy
Recruiting Station, Calvert and Lex
ington Streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Sub
stations at Cumberland and Hagerg-
town.

PEELED By Allies TO Abdicate
In Favor of Second Son,

Athens, June 2.-The fall of Con-
stantine /, King of the Hellenes, has
come. In response to the demand
of the protecting powers, France,
Great Britain and Russia, he abdicat-
ed today in favor of his second son
Prince Alexander.
This climax in the affairs of Greece
was brought through the agency of
the French Senator, NJ. Jonnart, who
has held posts in several French cab
inets, and who arrived at Athens
only day or two ago on a special
mission as the representative of
France, Great Britain and Russia,
NJ. Jonnart had previously visited
Saloniki and other points, and he
lost no time in getting into confer
ence with the Greek Premier, Alex
ander Zaimis.
The demands of the Powers respect
ing the abdication of King Constan-
tine also specifically eliminated
Crown Prince George as his successor
the Crown Prince being included
among those Greeks in official life
who were considered strongly pro-
German.
