A Service Flag for Washington
Let Banner Float From the District Building Telling thu
Number Of Men Who Have Gene to War From This Cigf
By EARL GOODWIN.

We should have flag flying from the District Building
procamng to the world the number of who have gone
into the service of the Army and Navy and Marine Corps
from the National Capital.
The custom of hanging a starred flag for an entire
community Is not new. You will find them hanging in
little country villages all over the land.
But big cities to be bit negectful of the oppor
tunity to honor its solder-citizens in this way.
1t is not necessary to have star for every
flag of this Sort there would not be enough room; but
there could be star for every ten every hundred
and in the middle Of the flag there could be large
mineral to tell just how many soldiers and sailors the city
has contributed.
As additions to the number made the numeral
could be changed, of course.
1 don't know anything more beautiful nor more in
spring than the idea of exhibiting service stars believe
it is the eptome of beauty in expression of things patriotic
have thought since the very first draped
from the window of widows houses her only having
enlisted early in the had it brought home to
while roaming around In Frederick Nd where diagonay
opposite the site of the Barbara Fetche tablet is
little house from which floats service flag with four stars
Four whose home thoughts center upon that very little
very modest gray brick house. have gone to war; and the
world have that particular flag for inspiration to
courage and patriotism, whence spring bravery and
heroism
believe that the city could do better thing than to
make of this idea and raise above
the District Building great banner to tell the world of
the number of who have gone to from thisthe
national city.

OF Carthage were too smart for Rome and would be able
