G. A. R. QUITS PARADE
WITH FLAG OF SOUTH
Union Veterans Refuse to March
in Baltimore With Symbol
Of Confederacy.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE. June 16.-Members OF
the Grand Army of Republic, Mary
lands survivors of the Union forces of
the Civil War, declined to march here
yesterday In Flag day procession, be-
cause the Confederate nag was carried
by Boy Scout at the head Of the col
unln.
AS the parade formed at the war me-
mortal the Confederate nag, with the
stars and Stripes and the nag Of Mary
land was placed in front. The aged
veterans broke rank, stepped aside and
returned to their homes. A. member Of
the Legion of Valor, comprised Of dec
GRATED men OF all wars, also refused to
march.
Gen. John r. King, a past national
commander of the @. A. r., did not at
tend the ceremonies. He had written
to Col. Harry G. Jones, in charge of the
parade, that the nag Of the Confed-
eracy had no place in a Flag day cere-
mony.
That nag" he said today, repre-
sentS the attempted destruction of the
Stars and Stripes. It had no place in
the line. I told Capt. George r. Leech,
commander Of the Maryland encamp-
ment, that I would not attend. What
action he took, do not know.
TITS the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy who are always scratching open
the wound. We didn't want any con-
troversy. We're too old for that" he
said. But another protest of mine
was that the Women's Relief Corps and
the Daughters Of Union Veterans were
not among the organizations represent
ed and they are two Of the Oldest or
CARNATIONS growing out Of the Civil
War;" he added.

NAUTILUS IN TOW
Disabled Polar Craft Called
for Aid in MidatIantic as
Heavy Seas Roll.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The battleship Wyoming reported to
the Navy Department today that it was
towing the Arctic submarine Nautilus,
at knots, on a course east of north
east from the position in Midatlantic
where she became disabled.
The battleship took the Nautilus in
tow at $50 am.
Since early Sunday the wyoming and
the Arkansas. now on midshipmen
cruises to European waters, have been
standing by the disabled submarine Sir
Hubert wilkins, her commander, re-
ported that one or the Diesel engines
upon which she depends for. surface
motor power had stalled.
It was estimated that from the posi-
ton last given by the Nautilus that the
course in which she was being towed
would take her to Queenstown.
The submersible has encountered
heavy seas since she left Provincetown,
Mass, June 4. Saturday the starboard
surface engine failed when cylinder
cracked. Forced to proceed on its port
surface engine, at about 8 knots in good
weather, the submarine strained her
remaining motor when she nosed into
rough seas Sunday the second engine
failed. To add to the peril of those
aboard, the batteries used for under
surface travel lost their power. She
then called for help.
The Wyoming and Arkansas, en-
route with Naval Academy midshipmen
to Queenstown, Ireland, on the annual
Summer cruise. speeded to the subma-
rine. They made unsuccessful efforts to
get towline aboard the craft, but with
heavy winds striking the unusually high
superstructure 1t was impossible to make
connection. The Nautilus did not have
enough power to maneuver herself into
position.
Capt. Sloan Danenhower,, an expert
enced submarine offlcer, Is in command
of the wilkins craft. The crew is COM
posed largely of former naval men.
