KEEP THE FLAG
IN THE PUBLIC EYE
Movement On To Familiarize
People With The National
Anthem
COMMENDED BY MANY

A movement has been started TO
familiarize all people with the Nation
al anthem. the Star-Spangled Banner.
Impetus has been given 10 this move
ment by every patriotic organization,
and all agree that now is the time
when Marylanders should join in urg-
ing upon Congress 10 legalize what has
already been accepted by the people
throughout the country as the nation
al anthem, and a determined effort
will be made TO have the resolution in
troduced by Mr.. Linthicum and now
slumbering in the House Committee
on Judiciary reported and adopted.
Congressman Coady, who is member
of this committee, has stated that he
will urge prompt action.
Meanwhile, patriots everywhere will
be asked to aid in the movement 10
familiarize the people with the words
of the grand old song, so they may be
able TO join in the refrain whenever
and wherever il is sung.
The movement has the Endorsement
of many prominent people throughout
the State.
Mrs. Weems Ridout, of Annapolis,
vice regent of Maryland Daughters of
the American Revolution and chair
man Of public information of the COM
mittee of educational propaganda OF
the Women's Section, Maryland Coun-
Gil of Defense, for Anne Arundel coun-
", said: 1T gives me the greatest
pleasure to indorse a plan to make
the anthem familiar to the general
public. and / will do all / can to fur
Their the work. / have been especially
interested along these lines, and only
recently had the ID. A. r. flag code
published in an Annapolis paper.
Mrs. Oscar Lesser, regent of the
Maryland Line Chapter, ID. A. R., said
yesterday that she was heartily in
favor of the movement.
THE failure of Congress to make
the Star-Spangled Banner the national
anthem has probably caused the neg
lect of the anthem among the masses
of the people. and made them sing
America she said.
Mrs. Charles Marsden, State librar-
ian of the d. A. r., also approved
heartily of the plan as outlined by
the Baltimore American, and Mrs.
William A. Buckingham, regent of the
John Eager Howard Chapter, said
that she thought the plan was splen-
did, and that it was the only thing to
do to make the anthem popular.
DR.. j. Hutchinson, executive secre-
tary of the War Camp Community Ser
vice, stated that it had been the Gus
tom at the hotel to have the Star-Span-
gled Banner sung at every dance. &C.
II. Congden, the well-known New York
song leader, will be in Baltimore on
Thursday to lead the music at the
hotel" he said, land l am quite sure
much more will be done along the
line of making the song that ought to
be known by civilians as well as men
in uniform, more and more familiar.
1t is proposed to appeal to Congress
for an official recognition of The Star
Spangled Banner as the National an
them, and to educate the people in its
words. its history and its splendid
American idealism."

Team captains already enlisted, members of the board of trustees and faculty of Howard, and well wishers of the institution vied with each other to suggest possible team captains and to take upon themselves the duty of inter- esting these men and procuring their ac- ceptances.

 Among those present at yesterdays S luncheon were Senator Frank s. White. chairman of executive committed; J. D. Moore, vice chairman; Sydney J.

RUSSIAN ARMY HAS BECOME NOTHING
 MORE THAN RABDLE
Chief of Staff at Front Re- ports There Is No Disci- pline or Semblance of
 Organization

Fetrograd, Thursday, January A.-Ma- for General Boneh- -Bruevitch, chief oi staff at the Russian front. paints gloomy picture of the condition of the Russian armies in a report to Ensign Krylenko, the eommander-in-chief. The army organizations are utterly demor- allzed he says the officers are mex perienced, and the maintenance of dis. cipline is impossible. The only possible salvation for the army, the only chance for offering an effective resistance, he declares. is for the various sections oi the armies to fall back to their natu- raI defenses and undergo thorough re- organization of the units under trained leaders.
 Many parts of the western front are entirely open, General Bonch- Bruevitch reports at numerous places there being orly 240 infantrymen to the mile. The reserves are refusing to relieve the men in the trenches and the soldiers are de- broken and few horses are available, The wire entanglements have been de- stroyed to facilitate fraternizing and the exchange of commodities with the Ger man armies.
 At many points, adds the chief of staff. fortified points have been destroyed, making resistance utterly impossible on the lines as at present located even with good troops. Various branches of the staffs must soon cease work, he de- clsres because of the disordered condi- tions and the economic life of the army will thus be ruined.

 Senator Underwood does not enter tain belief that Chamberlain has con victed the Secretary of War. '"The facts related by the chairman of the military committee were seneral1y known by members of Congress" he said "The fact that the country now knows them is indication that 1t serves no good purpose for the administra- tion to attempt to conceal develop ments to which the public has certain right of knowledge. At the same time the war department has done great things and because of a few errors should not be crucified.''
 Senator Banlshead expressed convic- ton that during war there should be no divided authority. He will oppose the efforts of Chamberlain, assisted by Roosevelt, to revise the war pro- gfamme from cellar to garret.

1 AMERICANS GIVE
 FRENCH CHILDREN REAL CHRISTMAS
"Oo La La" Times Tells of Doings of the Seventeenth Engineers
 Now in France

P. Y. Whitman has received from George Hendrix. a former enapioye, a copy of the Christmas number of the 100 La La Times the official paper of the Seventeenth Engineers (railway), now in France. Hendrix is wagoner in this regiment, of which it will be re- membered that Col. John S. seweI of Alabama is the commanding officer.
 The Christmas number consists of six pages and is full of personal items about the men of the various companies of the regiment. In addition, there are several very interesting articles about the regi- ment's S plans for Christmas.
 One especially interesting story tells of the regiments plans for big Christi mas tree for the French children in the vicinity of the command. Arrangements were being made to have hundreds ot them present and the men of the .egi- ment had personally contributed more than 50G0 francs for the purchase of gifts to show the little French children what an American Christmas was ike. A committee of French ladies had been delegated to purchase the gifts, so that they could secure the things which would be most appreciated by the children. The account states that many of the It. tie ones were special friends, made by the various men while visiting at French homes. while others were selected by the teachers of the schools as the most ap- proprate ones to be present. Preference was given to those whose fathers had been lost in the war; then came these whose fathers were still in the service. Nearly two pages of the issue were de- voted to these Christmas plans.
 There was one column devoted to thanks for gifts from America. An espe- cially warm letter of thanks was ad- dressed to Mrs. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, wife of the lieutenant colonel of the regiment, for knitted articles she had sent to the men of the regiment. Another was devoted to thanks for gifts of tobacco received through the tobacco fund of an eastern newspaper similar td that being conducted by The Age Herald.
 One full page is devoted to verses re. flecting the life of the men, some oi which is of decided merit.
