American Flag Is Oldest
National Emblem of All
Flag of United States Is Only One That Has Not Been
Altered Materially--Many Different Theories Ad-
vanced AS To Origin of Design of Old Glory.

Netherlands suggested the design to
our forefathers, as the Netherlands
constitution was often referred to by
the founders of the United States as a
model for our present form of govern
ment, and the national flag of that
country consisted at that time of three
horizontal stripes, symbolizing the
rise of the Dutch republic.
The design having been decided
upon by committee consisting of
General Washington, Robert Morris
and Colonel Ross, it was necessary to
find some one to work out the design
and Mrs. Betsey Ross of Philadelphia,
a niece of Colonel Ross, and the fin
est needlewoman in the colonies, was
asked to undertake the making of the
flag that was destined to be the en-
blem of the greatest nation in the
world
1t had been decided that states COM
ing into the union should be repre-
sented by a stripe as well as a star,
and when Vermont was admitted in
1871 and Kentucky in 1892 one was
! given a red stripe and the other
white This method was soon seen to
be impracticable and a committee ap-
pointed by congress, in 1912, decided
upon a permanent design, restoring
the thirteen stripes; the stars to be ar
ranged on the blue field in the form
of a square, where before they had
formed a circle and a star to be added

The two extra stripes and stars repre-

Flag day, June IA, was inaugurated
June IA, 1894, by the American Flag
Day association and since that time
appropriate services have been held
all over the United States on thai

CONGRESS- SPLIT
FEARED BY C. O.P.
Senate Passed Knox Resolution,
House the Porter.
Neither Side Disposed to Make
Any Concession.
SEEK To AVOID new WAR
Leaders Uncertain What Must
Follow Final Agreement.
Possible Modified Versailles
Treaty To Be Accepted.
SEEK TO AVOID new WAF

Washington, June 14.-Senates Re-
publican leaders arranged today to
send the peace resolution to confer
ence without reference to the foreign
relations committee. They predicted
that an adjustment will be reached be-
tween the house and senate plans
without serious difficulties or delays.
One Republican leader said he be-
lieved the administration was ready
now for enactment of the peace meas
ure and did not desire further delay.
1t was indicated that senate managers
would not insist upon final adoption
of the Knox resolution to repeal the
war declaration.
Split Is Feared.
How to make peace with Germany
and not at the same time start war in
Republican ranks here at home was
the task confronting the senate G. O..
p. leaders today.
They were inclined to retaliate
against the house which yesterday
passed the Porter peace resolution as
a substitute for the Knox measure, by
refusing to accept the Porter plan and
insisting on their own. That course,
however, threatened indefinite delay
in restoration of the peace status.
Senate Won't Surrender.
Senator Lodge made it clear that
the senate has no intention of giving
in to the house without a struggle.
I'VE will have something to say
about the final form of this resolu-
tion, you may be sure" was the only
comment Lodge would make today.
He told inquiring senators, however.
that he favored substituting the Knox
resolution for Porters.
Senator Knox author of the senate
resolution, told friends he had no pride
of authorship, but that his resolution
was most carefully drawn and that it
seemed to him to meet the situation.
Must Make Treaty.
A treaty of peace between the
United States and Germany must and
will follow the enactment of a peace
who have recently conferred with
President Harding, said today.
Such action is necessary. they said.
to settle disputed questions that will
arise between the two nations after
the final passage of the peace reSolu-
tions and to establish clearly the rights
Of the United States and her nationals
as to damage claims pending and fu-
ture dealings with the German nation.
May Accept Modified Pact.
Many members think it would be
wise TO accept the Versailles docu-
ment, minus The League of Nations
covenant and with certain reserva-
tions, as the treaty to govern German
American relations. Others favor US
ing it as the basis OF a new agreement
by including virtually the same terms
1t imposes upon Germany.
House leaders today were recalling
that President Harding in his address
to congress said that it might be
wiser to engage under the existing
treaty"

BIG STRIKE ENDED
Marine Engineers Finally
Agree ON Terms.
Wage Cut Put OFF Until April
80, 1922.

Washington, June 14.-Striking ma
rine engineers today were returning to
their ships in every American port,
manning 100000 tons of ships oper-
ated by the United States shipping
board, according to messages to the
labor department.
Engineers are already returning in
Atlantic coast ports and all are ex-
pected to be back by tomorrow, these
messages say.
Secretary of Labor Davis today was
to confer with officials of the strik-
ing seamen, who are expected to settle
within a few hours, completely termi-
mating the biggest tie-up from strikes
in the history of the American mer-
chant marine.

days.

BY ELEANOR KIMBALL.

When nations were in the making
and chiefs and overlords ruled the
serfs and vassals in the petty wars
which were constantly occurring, 1t
was necessary that these different
groups of fighters have some means
of distinguishing their own party. Out
of this need came the flying of ban
ners or flags displaying the colors and
devices of the different overlords. In
battle each group of men would rally
around the flag Of their chief, and as
the success of his cause meant con-
tinued protection for the vassal. the
peasants were loyal to their chief and
to his banner.
In time this came to be loyalty to
ones country and ones flag. Probably
no crime is held in such abhorrence
as that of treason to ones country.
The murderer is in time forgotten and
his crime likewise; but the traitor
lives in the contemptuous memory of
his fellow countrymen, an object of
scorn thru succeeding generations.
Oldest National Flag.
Thus the standards known as ma
tional flags came into existence, AMI
our own flag, the emblem of a COM
paratively new nation is distinguished
as being the oldest national flag in
existence. This may be questioned un-
til 1t is understood that the flag of the
United States is the only national flag
that has not at some time been al
tered materially in some manner. A
comparison of the dates of the Off
cial adoption of the national flags of
the principal nations of Europe dis
closes the fact that our flag antedates
them all. Spain's comes second
1855; the tri-color of France, third;
the English flag in 1901. PortugaPs s
1880, 1taly's 1S4S, and Germany's in
1871.
1t is to be regretted that a flag en-
llrely un-English was not carried by
our revolutionary soldiers in their nu-
merous engagements between the bat
the adoption of our present national
emblem, May IA, 1877. After the
Declaration of Independence July 4,
1875, the emblem of British union be-
came inappropriate, but was retained
unit. the following year when on the
14th day of June, 1777, the Continen-
tai Congress passed the resolution: ::
Resolved: That the flag of the thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternating red and white, and that
the union be thirteen stars, white in q
blue field, representing a new constel-
laticn." This is the first recorded leg
islat:on regarding a national flag. 1t
Is believed that this flag was unfurled
first by Paul Jones on the Ranger"
to the command of which he was ap-
pointed on the same day the resolution
was passed.
Many Theories Advanced. sSss
Several different theories are ad-
vanced as to the origin of the design
of our national emblem. One is that
the coat Of arms of the Washington
family offered a hint, formed as it
was by two bars on a white ground
with three gilt stars above the top
bar. But some authorities incline to
the belief that the national flag of the
