EVERY STATE HAS ITS STAR

Did you know that every star in our
American flag has its own individual
and particular state which it repre-
sents and that its placement on the
square Of blue, is carefully and def
nitely regulated by law and executive
order?
In 1912. on October 26. the last ex.
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made. and it provided for the specific
arrangement Of the stars. They were
to be arranged in six horizontal rows
of eight stars each. Starting in the
right upper left-hand corner and plac-
ing each row from left to right, the
star corresponding TO each state is
named In the order of the states rati-
fication of the constitution.
Thus star No. 1, in the upper left
hand corner is for Delaware. Star
No. 4S in the lower right hand %
ner, is for Arizona.
The following list will show you
at a glance exactly which star is
yours.
First row-No. / Delaware; 2 Penn
sylvania; 3 New Jersey; 4 Georgia;
5 Connecticut: 6 Massachusetts,; 7
Maryland; 8 South Carolina.
Second row-No. 9 New Hampshire:
10 Virginia; II New York; IL North

GERMAN DEFEAT IN THE MORAL
SPHERE

Review of Reviews: While the Ger.
man victories that prolong the wal are
inflicting frightful damage upon the
peoples Of Europe and suffering upon
the world at large, they are not lead
ing to successes or stability for the
German cause They are merely con.
vincing the world of the necessity Of a
supreme effort to break down the Ger.
man program Of audacity and violence.
Even worse than her losses of man
power-an attrition that must be felt
more, rather than less. from this time
on-is her loss Of standing in a world
which sets more store by justice and
right than ever before. Germany's
methods of warfare intended to pro-
woke exemplary fear, have aroused the
worlds intense reprobation. Her cor
rupt propaganda, the horrid trails Of
which are being traced and exposed in
every country. have had the most det-
rimental effect upon the German re-
pute. No great country has ever so
rapidly fallen from a place Of honor
to n Of low esteem. Every year,
every month. that prolongs the strug-
gle, brings Germany lower in the opin-
ion of mankind. This, of course, ap-
plies to the German government and
its policies; to the military and naval
leaders of Germany and their afro
cious methods,
