PARIS, Feb. 1.-The new German
volunteer army enlisted to protect tire
eastern frontier against the Poles is
asserted by Germans to number 900, 900
men, but reliable information received
by the peace commission Is that II 10
about half that strength.
It Is now a fairly good force. how
ever. and promises to improve steadily
and soon will be worth reckoning with.
The men mostly are young, chosen care
fully to avoid tho Bolshevik faint and
are under = discipline more strict than
that OF thSold German army; they are
mainly adventurous spirits or enthus.-
asts eager to defend the fatherland.
Expert military opinion Is that there
10 the nucleus Of real fighting force
In Germanys volunteers which Is far
better than the old army.
The Germans have complied with tbs
military terms OF the armisuce in al
particulars possible and have delivered
all kinds OF war material except trucks
and railroad material and they still are
short 500 heavy guns. Measures ara
being taken to get these.

Pass Back to Reserve Corps.
Gen. March said 1906 officers in the
United States had passed. back into the
reserve corps. furnishing a strong re-
serve of trained men IN this important
branch. and with the overseas forces
yet to be heard from. He said 1929
reserve or National Guard officers had
applied for permanent commissions in
the Regular Army.
Gen. March revived the question OF
the treatment of troops at the embarka-
ton camp at Brest. France, saying that
Major-Gen. William F. Glenn and Col
Palmer Of the General Stan had Just
returned to the United States by way
Of that port. Col. Palmer inspected the
camp January 10. He reported that
while the climate was very bad and
the camp wa& muddy all tents he saw
had been foored and thirty-nve miles
OF boardwalks had been built. Col.
Palmer said the food served at the
camp was the best he had ever seen
served to enlisted men in a Ions ex.
perience in the army. and Gen. Glenn
confirmed this statement.
The plain fact was. said Gen. March.
that unless the army continued to use
Brest for returning troops. the progress
of generalization would be greatly de-
layed and the men would be held in
France far longer than was now neces-
sa-y.

Gen. Joffre. dated July 80. reading as
follows:
For diplomatic reasons It is indis-
pensable that no incident occur at the
frontier. No unit and no patrol shall
advance east OF the line fixed
NJ Nivlani then read a message from

PARIS, Feb lon July 80. 1914. the
French Government ordered its troops to
retire eight or ten kilometers from the
frontier. having heard that the German
troops were moving toward It. Rene

Chamber Of Deputies last night in the
course Of disclosures concerning the
origin OF the war. some OF which never
have been made public.
NJ. Vivani was Premier when the war
broke out.
at was on July 30" he said. that the
Government OF which was the chief
decided that the French troops should
retire eight or ten kilometers from the
frontier. On the same day ! requested
Paul Cambon (French Ambassador in

Grey Of the measure taken.

sponslhility for the attack"
These "reminiscences OF the momentoue
days Of the last Of July. 1914. caused the
Deputies to rise and cheer the former
Premier. NJ. Viviani continued:
Gould we risk a murderous war upon
the chance meeting Of patrols? We de-
sired to proclaim high before the world
that it France were forced to fight she
would do go for right and justice and
not take advantage of any equivocation.
The withdrawal was carried out
without meeting any obstacle. either
technical or military. No objection came
from Gen. Jofrre.''
NJ V!vianrs speech was in reply to
questions by Deputy Fernand Engerand.
who sharply criticized the abandonment
OF the ten kilometer zone. He claimed
that It was a technical mistake be-
cause the mineral valley OF Briey was
within range Of the French guns and
had It been bombarded intensively for
three or four days the German iron
ore deposits and factories would have
been destroyed and Germany placed IN
an inferior position regarding minerals
This, the deputy thought, would have
brought about an end OF the war in
six months.

the 13 alternate red and white stripes,

monty thought that the continental

suitable flag for the nation and that
they called upon Mrs. Ross. who was
conducting an upholstery business on
Arch street In Philadelphia. The con.
irmation OF this report Is not to be
found in the Journal Of Congress.
There seems to be little doubt that
the American nag is growth rather
than q creation. Few Of the writer's
have declared that both the stars and
the stripes were derived from the coat

contains both devices, but beyond
that co.ncident no other evidence has

The credit Of making the first nng

Candy, a grandson Of Mrs. Ross, de-
clared that Betsy Ross was shown \
rough drawing Of the flag, which was
explained by General Washington. She
objected to the six-pointed stars, and
suggested that they be nve.pointed.
General Washington In supposed to
have redrawn the sketch, changing
the stars to nve points At nrst Wash
ington declared that five-pointed stars
would be hard TO make. but Mrs. Ross

the easiest In the world to
make. since all OF Its parts
are In straight lines. Any
schoolgirl who is able TO sew can
make flag for about one-half of what
II will cost her at store, and still
have stronger and more durable one
when she has It finished. There are
two principal ways Of proceeding In
the making Of an American flag. The
one used by most persons is to de-
termlne first the width Of the stripes.
SO that II the flag Is to be made Of
silk. ribbon may be purchased Of a
standard width. From this the size
Of the flag may be determined. The
second method Is to decide either the
width or the length Of the flag and
then compute the amount Of material
from the size decided upon.
Let us assume that we wish to
make flag from two-inch silk rib
bons. since two-inch ribbon Is stand.
ard size and may be purchased ut any
dry goods store. Since the stripes
will be two inches wide. the width Of
the canton. or the blue field. will be
seven times two inches. or IA inches.
md It's length will be the same. since
the canton Of the American flag II
square. The canton Ia also one-third
Of the length Of the nag. Then the
ing will be three times II inches,
]. which equals ~ inches and the width
bclng 13 times two inches. or 20 inches.
Thus. TO use two-inch ribbon. one will
have n fiag three md half feet long
and little more than two feet wide.
Material Needed.
The next thing is to determine Just
how much two-inch ribbon must be
purchased, 30 that the stripcs may be
made with little or no waste. There
are three full white stripes In tho
complete length Of the nag. which
equals 100 inches. and added to that
will be the three short stripes. two
thirds the length Of the nag. or "a
inches, making a total Of 2i0 inches.
or about SIX yards. For the red stripes.
II In necessary to add one extra short
red stripe Of IA inches. which is
about half Of n yard. Thus. for n
nag made with two.Inch ribbon. II
will be necessary for the maker to
purchase SIX yards Of white and sig
and q half yards Of red ribbon. The
canton will he seven inches square
and the stars may be made from
smaller widths Of ribbon. There must
be A stars arranged In six rows Of
eight stars each. By using 4 ruler

be- determined nnd they can be easily
