WHAT FLAG MEANS TO ALL
Davs Of Sacrifice and Devotion Have
Made II Cause Of Pride to
Every American.

The flag means more to Americans
in the year 1919 than it has ever meant
in our lives. And why7 Not, surely,
because it is more familiar. Nor yet
because it floats over hosts Of soldiers
and mighty fleets. There were soldiers
and fleets before. Not, therefore. be-
cause Of its new part in the panoply
Of war.
1t means more to US because we
have put more into it. Because, after
years of peace and plenty in which we
thought of our flag chiefly as some
thing to protect and guard us, we have
in time Of war and grief and hardship
learned to know our flag as something
for US to protect and guard and serve.
A flag, in short, Is as great as Its
people--and no greater. When they
are great and generous and coura-
geous, it Is great and beautiful and
holy. When they fulter and haggle.
their flag is less than nothing to them,
as to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
in the greatest Of causes! Therefore
q source of pride and of deep emotion
to every American. That is the lesson
we are learning in these days of sacri-
fee and devotion, when a flying bit Of
color becomes the most glorious and
joyous and sacred thing in the whole
wide world.-New York Tribune.

flag Dap

NHE first American flag, for
mally adopted by congress on
June IA, TIT, is said to have
been made out of a soldiers white
shirt, an old blue army overcoat
and red flannel petticoat. 1t
was first hoisted by the Revolution
ary army during Burgoyne's campaign
and was first flung to the ocean breeze
by Paul Jones.
We have not advanced SO far from
those humble but glorious beginnings
as to have lost the SAVIOR. The COM
bination that went into the making of
the first flag answered all require
ments. History has neglected the own
er of the white shirt and the old over
coat. It has likewise cOurteously re-
Trained from mentioning the original
possessor of the petticoat. 1t is enough
that all were Americans.
But the vicissitudes of history have
not dimmed the luster Of those first
Stars and Stripes. Rather have they
grown more glorious in the eyes Of the
people over whom they float.
The observances of 1919, while COM
memorating the glories of the past,
must necessarily take account Of the
new epoch upon which we have en-
tered. But there is no change in the
Significance of the national emblem. As
before, it stands for justice, freedom
and humanity. There will be no new
teachings, but a fresh conservation OF
the old.

Tho First and Last Cigarette,

who did. for got an awful boot that
landed me ten or twelve feet away.
l fell on my hands and knees, and
about yard away I saw a cigarette
stub. dlved for it like man falling
on a football. and when I came up
that stub was safely In my pocket.
And 1t stayed there until 1 reached
Dulmen and had chance to light 1t
behind the barracks. If any of the
other men had Smelled real tobacco,
they would probably have murdered
me, and I could not have blamed them
for 1t.
That was the first and last cigarette
I got in Germany, and you can be-
lieve me when say that enjoyed
it. There was not much to 1t, but
smoked 1t until there was not enough
left to hold in my mouth, and then
used what was left and mixed it with
the bark that we made cigarettes out
Of. Incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. I do not know what kind Of
tree 1t was from, but 1t served the
purpose. Whenever a fellow wanted
to smoke and lit one of these bark
cigarettes, a few puffs were enough.
He did not want to smoke again for
some time afterward, and like as not.
he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
1t Is very hard to get matches In
the camps. and when any prisoner
does get hold Of one, it is made to last
q long time. Here Is how we make a
match last. Some one gives up the
sleeve Of his coat. and the match Is
carefully lit, and the coat sleeve
burned to a crisp. Then we take q
button from our coats-the buttons
are brass with two holes in them
pass shoestring through the holes.
knot the ends, and with the button in
the center of the string, buzz it around
as you have seen boys do, with the
string over both hands, moving the
hands together and apart until the
button revolves very fast.
We then put piece of flint against
the crisped cloth, and buzz the button
against 1t until spark makes the
crisp glow. and from this we would
light our bark cigarettes. 1 do not
think any man in the world could in
hale one of these bark cigarettes:
some of US tried and went right to
sleep.

eleven that morning, we arrived at .

received the only cigarette had while
I was in Germany.
Minden is quite railway center, I
guess. and when we pulled into the
depot, we saw many troops going to
the front or coming back. As at all
important German railway stations,
there was a Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a large
shanty on the platform, with a Red
Cross painted over the door. I saw
the girls giving barley coffee to the
soldiers, and thought I would have

CHAPTER Xxx,
kultur-the Real Stuff,


Neustrelitz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit
isb nor French soldiers interncd there
only sailors Of the merchant marine
such as the men l was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as could
make out One was that the Russian
would stand most anything. whereas
the British and French could only be
goaded to certain point, and beyond
that lay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners to Siberia. or at least, so the
Huns thought, and Fritz hates the
cold. So. hating the Russians, and
realizing that they were used to be-
Ing under-dogs, Fritz picked on them
and bullied them in way that the
rest OF us would not have stood. We
would have rushed them and gone
fsst with bayonets first.

and a big one, but at first it was of
no use to US, because the Germans
would not give us coal or wood for it.
But after shivering for a while, we be-
gan ripping the boards ont Of the bar
racks, and taking the dividing boards
from the benches that we used for
beds.
Later, they gave each Of US mat
tress filled with wood shavings, and
blanket that was about as warm as a
pane of glass. The mattresses were
placed on the ground in the barracks,
which were very damp, and after three
or four days, the shavings would be-
gin to rot and the mattresses to smell.
In order to keep warm we slept as
close together as we could. which
caused our various diseases to spread
rapidly.
When we were receiving our rations,
the sentries would offer US an extra
ration If we would take lash from
their belts. We were so hungry that
many and many man would go up
and take swat in any part Of his
body from the heavy leather belts
with brass tongue and buckle. just to
get a little more SHADOW" soup or
barley coffee or mud bread.
One morning the sentries picked out
ten men from our barracks, of which
was one, and drilled US over a field
near the kuche. There was a large
tank In the field and we had to pump
water into 1t. 1t was very cold, and
we were weak and sick, so we would
fall one after another. not caring
whether we ever got up or not. Fritz
rifle butt. We asked for gloves, be-
cause our hands were freezing, but all
we got was "Nichts."
After we had been there for about
an hour and half, one Of our men
became very sick, so that thought
he was going to die. and when he fell
over, I reported it to sentry. The
sentry came over. saw him lying in
the snow. yelled, "Schwein, nicht
krank!" grabbed him by the shoulder,
and pulled him nll the way across the
field to the office of the camp COM
mander. Then he was placed in the
guard house, where he remained for
two days. The next thing we knew.
the Russians had been ordered to
make box. and were being marched
| to the guard house to put him In it
and bury him.
Another thing at Neustrciitz, that
was pretty hard to stand. was the pret-
ty habit the Huns had Of coming up
to the bnrbed wire and teasing us as
though we were wild animals In a
cage. Sometimes there would be
| crowds of people lined along the wire
throwing things at us, and splitting,
and having great time generally. It
was harder than ever when family

mutter, and maybe grosvnter and

know, the Germans take food with
them whenever they go on a party.
no matter what kind, and they would
stand there and stare ut US like the
boobs they were. eating all the tin,o
and we so hungry that we could
have eaten ourselves, almost. After
they had stared while, they would
begin to feel more at home, AMI then
would start the throwing and spittiDg
and the "schweinhund" sungcrfest. and
they would have great time general

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 18.
1776, to Its Proud Position in
the World In 1919.

Inc Stars and Stripes was raised
on the heights near Boston on Janu-
ary 1S, 1776, and tho British troops be-
lieved it to be evidence of submis-
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag. the official flag. came later
After the declaration of independ-
ence, July 4, 1776. the first salute to it
was given by the Dutch island of st.
Eustatious in the West Indies by Jo-
hannes de Graft, commander of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1854 two additional
stars were placed on the field, but
they were discarded after much de-
bate in congress and the original thir-
teen were restored in 1918.
The first flag that floated over a for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau.
January %. 177s. The first carried
to London was on vessel February 8,
1888. 1t floated in China in 1884.
1t was carried around the world from
1887 to 1890. The first blood shed un-
der it was in Ireland in 1890 during a
mob riot over bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to 1t

ment had no place in the thought of

The Finding Of Old Glory.
When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers needed to design flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
Of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds Of a sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams, mys,
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came
sudden rending Of the fleecy mass by
wind of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made,
they then beheld patch of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.

Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder Of Gods great heaven, for
all the world to see. 1t is our flag

kin in Southern Woman's Magazine.
What the Flag SymboIizes.
In 1777, within few days Of one
year after the declaration Of independ.
ence, the congress of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
1t was the symbol Of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress!
The flag means now all that our IA
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration of.
Independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice, for
liberty, for happinesS.

1t point to pay us visit, and though
do not think they were US bad as the
civvies. especially the women, they
were bad enough.
We had one bucket in each barracks,
and us these buckets were used for
both washing and drinking. they were
always dirty. We boiled t." water
when we washed the clotheo' to get
rid Of the coolies, and that left a
settling in 1t that looked just like red
lead. We had to get the water from
