The British ensign or Union Jack Il
said by some to have been the inspira-

Jack is a combination Of the English
red cross of st. George ON a white
field, the Scotch white cross Of st.
Andrew on a blue field and the Irish
red cross of st. Patrick. The combine

The American flag carried In the bat

historians of the American flag that
when the first flag to represent the

horizontal stripes Of red and white
were introduced as there were colo

were not Independent, but merely in
revolt because of the denial by the
English government OF ''their rights as

st. Andrew and st. Patrick, was re-
tanned by the Americans In GH upper

WH|TE-BLUE.
CoIors That Preponderate
in Flags Of Nations Of
the World.

"@HE principal colors in the flags
that fly throughout the world
this year Of our Lord. 1913,
today are red. white and
blue In diverse combinations. Here
and there green is shown. but red,
white and blue are the c0lors Of nine
teen out Of twenty-five national flags
and are the colors Of practically all
the flags Of the nations Of Europe.
The Significance Of national colors
goes back to the days of heraldry and
many Of the devices displayed on flags
are either heraldic designs or have
been derived from such designs. Red
stands for courage and military forti-
tude. blue symbolizes loyalty and truth
and white stands for peace and SINGER
ity. In the Italian, Irish. Brazilian
and Mexican fisgx green Is one Of the
colors, and In heraldry this color sig
nified hope and JOY. Black, which ap-
pears in the German flag In combina-
ton with red and white, stands for
constancy.
A historian has written that the
farmers In the battle of Lexington car
ried the "cornet" or standard of the
Three County Troop. That banner
was devised for a troop Of cavalry
raised In the counties of Essex, Suf-
folk and Middlesex. Massachusetts,, in
1850. The ONCE of color bearer of
this troop became an Inheritance in

the bride to be that his ability or

We do not mean that no man

he should not marry until he has
the means to begin building or to

the Soviet government, is housing fam
lilies OF some of the Bolshevik Com
munlsts, according to a telegraphic re-
port received to-day by the State De-
partment. The looting Of the American
and other foreign embassies in Petro-
grad was confirmed by an investigation
made by a special emissary of this
government, whose report to the State
Department to-day recites that most of
the foreigners who were taken INTO Gus
tody by the Bolsheviki when the dipo-
matte premises were sacked had been
sent to Moscow.
In the raid on the American En-
bassy, Miss Karin Sante was at first
put under arrest and later releas sed
but sent to Moscow with the other for
eigners The Misses Kennedy and
Leviaguine, who were employed by the
American representatives at Petrograd
before the latter left the old Russian
capital, were not moiested. None Of
these were Americans. Miss Sante is

with great courage and loyalty, con-
sented to remain there in charge of
the premises and archives. She was
