blessed miracle of response to his own

No two families are alike, and every
home service story is different from
every other story. The undertaking of
safeguarding the homes of our soldiers
and sailors is so vast as scarcely to
seem creditable. Yet it is already so
organized that every soldiers and
sailors family may have access to
home service. And camp service,
which puts the offer of these resources
before every man in camp, and by
which he can bring his private wor-
ries to his Red Cross field director,
who forms his bridge with home SER
vice, has Deer established already in
the majority of our camps and can

man as he leaves for France. 1t is
to be in recreation huts, in headquar-
tiers, in the hospital wards "over
there"
These resources which are offered
20 our defenders are the resources of
the American Red Cross, with its ire
mendous force generated by $4,000, 900
people; the cooperation of great agen-
cies of public welfare; the voluntary
services of highly skilled professional
men and women. Expert legal advice,
expert medical advice. expert business
advice-these things are back of our
men. In the matter of information
alone, in affairs of allotments and war
risk and other insurance, details in
connection with business and property,
home service has been of incalculable
help to thousands Of people.
But it's supreme service is knowing
what to do when there is loneliness
in the home where nobody comes home
at night. Home service mea friends.
This is building the strength of an
army hat cannot be brOken-an army
of men with their homes protected. 1t
is creating a new social in the
communities at home-communities
that are finding themselves and their
possibilities, even as families and in
dividuals do.
One afternoon, at one of our new
environments, a battalion was ordered
to pack all equipment and be ready
to entrain in the night. They and
their officers had expected that they
would have a furlough before leaving,
but this could only mean n thing
overseas. They were all new SOL
diers. Oh. how ~raggedly, how awk-
ward, how out of step they had been
just a few months ago in those first
days before they had their uniforms!
Drilled soldiers now. Some straw was
brought into their barracks. after their
bedding rolls were packed. and they
snatched a few hours sleep on that.

treating and advancing, the revolu-
tionary heroes who had at first fought
under a dozen different flags, fought
under the stars and stripes, making it
a flag. When the struggle ended at
Yorktown the flag was already sacred,
made so by the blood of those who
died for the freedom of their fellow
countrymen. Our flag was not made
by those who worked with needle and
thread, but by those who died for high
ideals. The blacklist traitor that ever
betrayed our country might sew silk
or bunting together; on flag was
made by Washington and his men,
Jackson and his men, Lincoln and his
men. The great minds and great
hearts and brave men and women of
the past made u flag a real flag.
They made the flag for US; today we
are making it for those who will come
after us.
| say we are making it. because you
and |, | hope, are doing all We can to
help Il army and u navy win the
fight against the blood reeking autoc-
racy hat wishes to unmake half the
flags Of the world and put the modern
flag of piracy in their places. For
this is true: Each flag that is a real
flag must be made again and again
with the passing years. 1t is true our
flag has been made and perpetuated.
In times of peace it has been a flag
of peace and a truer symbol of peace
than the white flag Of submission. 1t
has also been a war banner as glori-
Gus as any that ever fioated above the
heads of armed lei Again and again
when brave men fought for what they
believed to be right and justice, our
flag has been torn by shot and shell
and drenched with blood. 1t has gone
forth at the head of armies, silken
and fringed with gold, to come back
torn and tattered, but a more splen-
did ensign of liberty than it had ever
been before. 1t has left our ports
floating from proud ships and has
sunk beneath the waves when the bat
tered ships went down and was a
greater flag then than 1t had been.
Like the phoenix it has arisen from
every fire Of trial in renewed glory.
Today, this Flag day, 1t will float
from the STATS of a million American
homes, perhaps from ten million or
twenty million, but its greatest glory
the greatest glory of its 140 years
is that it will float in the breezes of
France and Flanders beside the flags
of Belgium, France and Great Brit
ain, and on the seven sea- of the
world, in the worlds greatest combat
against %autocratic brutality. No long
er the flag of a group of colonies, Old
Glory has become the banner of a
world power, the emblem of the might
lest free people that ever existed.
Never were the stripes of our flag
brighter or the stars more brilliant
on their field of blue than they are
today. In field, in mine, in factory, in
home, in garden, in camp, on ship, in
trench and in battle line the men and
women and the children of our vast
free empire are united in one great
cause, and the free flag of a free peo-
pie floats over them, unstained and
unspotted.

breeze as the symbol of loyalty and
patriotism do they demand our rever.
ence.
We honor the flag because of what
it stands for. Those who dishonor our
flag dishonor all it stands for. In days
like these, when our nation is at war,
there might be placed under he dome
of the capitol at Washington a great
book of a thousand pages. On the
Americans creed, proclaiming a belief
in national honor. national justice and
national honesty and a belief in a free
government for this free American
people. To Washington then might be
called all the people of the nation, to
sign, n after another, their names
in the great book SO that all America
and all the world might know how
each man and woman and child stood,
until all our millions were enrolled.
There is no need of this. The Ameri
cans creed is written in the stars and
stripes of our flag. Our flag stands
for all that could be written in the
great book at Washington. 1t stands
for honor, justice, national honesty
and a free government, and when the
time of stress comes, as at present,
the flag is at hand, ready to be raised
in twenty million homes, a proclama-
ton of loyalty as valid as a signed
and sealed book. Our flag is not a
gayly colored decoration to brighten
our towns and villages; it is a creed
81 believe"-to tell our neigh
bors, our nation, and the whole world
how we stand.
Everyone knows the story Of our
flag, win the thirteen stripes that
the thirteen original states of
our uaion, and the stars, one for each
state in the union today. Whether
Betsy Ross or another first sewed and
stitched the original thirteen stars in
place on their blue field matters lit
tie, for fiags are not made in that way.
Our flag was made when the wise faith
ers of our nation decreed that this
should be a union of sovereign states
and that no kingly crown or imperial
eagle should appear on u banners.
The long deliberations and deep wis
dom Of the founders of the nation
made possible a flag of thirteen stripes
when they decreed that each state
should continue its individual exist
ence under the national government,
and in effect decreed the many starred
blue field when they said that new
states, as they became worthy, might
enter the union.
Even then our flag was not a flag.
1t had to win a place for itself and a
right to existence. 1t was as II the
stripes were not yet welded together
or the stars riveted in their places.
Through the long years of the revolu-
tionary war the American fighting
men gave their lives and shed their
blood that the flag might become a
permanency. Each dying soldier by
his death gave life to the flag. 1t
was born of their blood.
There was no separate peace"
made by Massachusetts, or New York
or Virginia, to tear one of the thir-
teen stripes from the flag or rip one Of
the thirteen stars from the blue field.

clothed, beaten about and buffeted, re-
