PRECIOUS old FLAG

So great was the interest shown in
the battle flag of the Continental army,
found between the walls Of an old
building. that 1t is probable an eff
fort will be made to have the flag dis
played In some public building as a
permanent memorial Of the Revolution,
says the New York Times.
The banner was found wrapped in
the buff and blue uniform coat Of a
Continental soldier. Moths had con
sumed much Of the wooden garment,
but the flag, being made of linen, Is
still in excellent condition.
The flag was found by Michael La

tent, recently been turned back
to the career and times OF
Thaddeus KOsciuszkO. In Eng
land a measure of recognition has
been given to the virtues and accOm-
plishments of the Polish patriot. In
the United States his contemporaries
and their descendants have paid trib-
ute to his memory. Some Americans
have joined in testimonials, but only in
an inconspicuous way, while their
government has taken no official cog
nizance Of the proceedings at home or
abroad. The apparent indifference to
the memory of this remarkable man
by a nation to which he gave his serv-
Ices freely in a trying hour may be
hastily attributed, in some quarters, to
he proverbial ingratitude of republics,
but the seeming neglect was doubtless
very largely due to the state Of the
times. and the incessant demands on
attention by important current events.
Had conditions been normal, respect
md honor would have been freely be-
slowed upon the name of the great
Pole. Time was when the United
States We'd with his native land in ac-
claiming him a hero. The opportunity
of the nation to whom he proved a
friend in need did not. however, wait
upon the present revival of interest in
him, nor will the gratitude of the peo-
pie of that nation cease when the re-
vival shall have spent itself. The Unit
ed States can and will, in due season,
pay it's debt to Poland in the name OF
kosciusZko with quite as much grace
and quite as much honor as it Is str1v-
ing to pay its debt to France in the
name of Lafayette.
The part Kosciuszko played in the
struggle of the colonies was made fa-
miliar to the school children Of other
generations in the Fourth reader.
There is little or nothing about him in
the school readers Of today. 1t was
as an engineer rather than as a war
rior that he proved most useful to
Washington. History credits him with
the planning Of the fortified camp Of
General Gates at Bemis Heights, and
to his skill is attributed very largely
the plans that made possible the vic
tory at Saratoga. He constructed the
Notifications of West Point, and help

The story of this great day is told in
a charming manner in the verses that
follow:
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each.
And the sweat stood on their temples.
With the earnestness Of speech.

So they surged against the door;

So they beat against the portal
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain.
Now beheld the soul of freedom
All unconquered rise again.
Aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellrnan, old and gray:
He was weary OF the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway;
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper Of the bell.
When his eyes should catch the signal.
Very happy news to tell.
See! see! the dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line.
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign!
With his small hands upward lifted.
Breezes dallying with his hair.

Breaks his young voice on the air.

List the boys strong joyous cry.

Ring! o. Ring for Liberty"
And straightway, at the signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news. making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted, What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom ruff1ed
The calm gliding Delaware,
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair liberty arose!
