"Betsy's Battle FIau"


To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sufficiently in your Peoples Forum one
OF your readers asked for the poem Betsy 8
Battle Flag" inclose II herewith.
8. L. PETERSON.
Philadelphia, July IS. 1921.
BETsYs BATTLE FLAG
From dusk till dawn the livelong night
She kept tho tallow dips alsht.
And fast her nimbs fingers few
To sew tho stars upon the blue.
With weary eyes and aching head
She stitched the stripes of white and red,
And when the day came up tho stair
Complete across a carven chair
Hung Betsy's battle nag.
Like shadows in the evening gray
The Continentals filed away.
With broken boots and ragged coats.
But hosrse defiance in their throats;
They bore the marks Of want and cold,
And some were lame and some were old.
And some with wounds INTENDED bled.
But floating bravey overhead.
Was Betsys battle flag.
When fell the battles leaden rain.
The soldier hushed his means OF pain
And raised his dying head to see
King Georges troopers turn and nee,
Their charging column reeled and broke,
And vanished in the rolling smoke,
Before the glory of the stars.
The snowy stripes and scarlet bars
OF Betsy's battle nag.
The simple stone Of Betsy Ross
Is covered, now with mold and moss.
But still her deathless banner flies.
And keeps the color OF the skies.
A nation thrills. a nation bleeds.
nation follows whore It leads,
And every man Is proud to yield
For Betsy's battle hag.
-Minna Irving.

the unemployment situation, Governor
Cox urged in a letter yesterday To

IF each city and town will engage

needy IT will go far to relieve the pos

Governor said.
He explained that he did not urge
that useless undertakings he invented

f"The most recent reports from the
various State Boards indicate that
business in many lines shows an i'm

many industries are increasing their
output and that there are fewer un-
