FIRST RAISED FLAG
1t. Barney Shared Navy Honors With
John Paul Jones in Infant Days
of American Fleet.

not the one ordered by George Wash
ington of Betsy Ross, but an earlier
ensign known as the Grand Union
Flag. 1t consisted of l3 stripes, alter
nately red and white, with the COM
bined crosses of st. George and St.
Andrew in the corner. The field of
stars supplanted the crosses in June,
1777.
Commodore Eek Hopkins, the first
commander -in-chief of the American
Navy, ordered the flag, and it was
first displayed in Baltimore very early
in December Of IT'S. Lit. Joshua Bar
ney used it in recruiting seamen for
the l0-gun sloop Hornet, and it was
first flown from the mast of that ship
later in the month.
John PAUL JONES also believed
that his ship had carried the first
American flag to be accorded a salute
at sea by foreign power. because the
French feet at Quibberon Bay had
saluted the Ranger on February IA,
177S.
In this instance he had again been
anticipated by Joshua Barney 1t
was Capt. Barney's ship. the Andrea
Doria, which few the ensign first to be
saluted. The Governor of st. Eus-
tatia. Johannes de Graef. ordered this
salute fired on November l6. 1776.
For this sign of respect paid an Ameri-
can ship, The Hague was forced to
recall the governor. But because of
her apparent sympathy with the
American cause, Holland was later
drawn into the war, and ST. Eustatia
was taken by Admiral Sir George
Rodney in January of 1881.
This Joshua Barney is one of those
forgotten heroes of the American Rev
olution. He was master of his own
ship at Is. A year later, at the COM
mencement of the Revolution, he was
commissioned as a Lieutenant in the
Navy: he was a captain at its close.
He took to France the news that the
commissioners there could commence
to negotiate terms of peace with Eng
land. He was the first to present an
American flag 10 the French govern
ment. For short period after the
war he was in command of the one
ship which constituted the entire
United States Navy. And with 600
marines and sailors under his COM
mand, he made the only actual attempt
to hold the field of Bladensburg against
the 1000 British who were marching
on the city of Washington in August,
1914.
THE fact that Joshua Barney raised
the first American flag and wit
messed it saluted by a foreign power
before John Paul Jones did, adds to
the glory of the former rather than de-
tracing from the glory of the latter.
Both were naval heroes who did great
things in small ships. Both were fine
seamen who fought valiantly to the
same end-that the flag of the United
States should be respected abroad by
| foreign powers. That respect Is the
heritage of all officers and men of
the Navy, one which they are bound to
preserve.

has attended every Democratic con-
vention since 1900 and in 1916 was
parliamentarian of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention. An attorney by
profession he was elected to the United

was subsequently appointed to the
Senate on February 3, 1888, by Gov

The name of Senator Arthur Harry
Moore has found its way latterly into

1910 possibilities. A Democrat, from
Jersey City, Moore has studied medi-
cine and law. He has been Mayors
secretary, city tax collector, city COM
missioner and twice Governor of New

elected to the United States Senate
with 1881 votes. against his oppo-

GENATOR HARRY FLOOD BYRD
of Rerryville, Va, has heard his
name echoed in the 1910 lists. Sena-
tor Byrd's offlcial biography provides
one with the rather startling informa-
ton that the gentleman from Virginia
entered business at the age of Is as
newspaper publisher, farmer and
apple grower" With this excellent
start. Mr. Byrd was elected in 1915 to
the Senate of Virginia, where he served
until elected Governor for the 1926
1880 term.
Gov. John Pollard appointed him
to the Senate on March 4, 1898, and
on November 7, 1898, he was elected
for the unexpired term of Claude A.
Swanson, who had resigned. He was
reelected for the full term in 1894

had been district attorney down in
Mississippi for six years prior to that.
In 1918 Pat" was elected United
