The navy included 301 war vessels

CHILDREN ASK
NATIONS HYMN
LOCALIZED
Loyalty League Members
Want Star Spangled Ban
ner" Made Official.

Fresh steps to make 'The Star Span
Gled Banner by law the national
hymn of America were taken In the
Senate yesterday when Senator Borah,
of Idaho, presented a petition Of the
Children of America Loyalty League
containing this request.
This petition which, at the sugges-
ton of Senator Borah, was referred
to the Committee on Library, bears
approximately 1900 names of children
who are enrolled in this patriotic as
ISOLATION. 1t Is signed by Mrs. Nat s.
Brown and Mrs. Charles D. Potts, ma
tional president and secretary of the
association respectively.
Addressing the Senate and House of
Representatives, the children of the
loyalty league have subscribed them
selves to the petition, quoted in part
as follows:
Il hereby pledge loyalty to our
flag. loyalty to our country, loyalty
to the President of the United States
as Commander-in-Ch support to
the Red Cross Of America and the
military and naval branches of the
Federation government, and come and
ask that you grant our wish and Pc
tition that THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." written by Francis Scott Key,
may be made the national hymn OF
our country"
Attention is called in the petition
that this hymn forms the trinity that
represents America-fag, children and
soldiers.
Our soldier and sailor boys" the
petition declares. ARE going over
with the Star Spangled Banner un-
furled to the world. Won't you let
them carry with them The Star Span
gled Banner as the authorized hymn
Of their dear United States?"
The Star Spangled Banner is uni
versally accepted as this country's
national hymn, but this bill would
cause it to enjoy a legal standing
as such, something it has hitherto
lacked.

House Directs Investigation
Following Protest from
Representative Madden.

''Deplorable condition" in the
handling of mail sent American SOL
dieTs abroad are to be investigated
under a resolution introduced lester
day by Representative Madden, of
Illinois, and Immediately agreed to.
The first step under this action will
be a report from the Postmaster
General. informing Congress OF

Madden announced also that he will
leave in May for a trip of inspection
along the western front, paying par
ticular attention to mail and trans
portation conditions. He denied Wig
orously any political angles to his
visit. He is one of the Republican
floor Leaders.
Complaints have reached Madden
of private mail to soldiers being de-
layed as much as seven weeks. I'm
like most Congressional critics, he
believes the army officers rather than
the postofice department is respon-
sible.
Many young officers" he said,
seem to have no conception of the

fees of the various movements of
the units of troops.
Mail breaks no records in getting
to France; but that condition is in
part at least unavoidable. Distribu-
ton after it gets there. according
to the information I have now, can
be greatly improved"
BurIeson Statement.
The Postofice Department last
night issued an appeal to soldiers
relatives not to burden the mails
sent to the expeditionary forces with
needless articles. Otherwise, II is stat
