some theatre of war during the
current struggle.
Royal Marines Won Honors
Like their American prot5typas
the Royal Marines won scores of
honors in the first World War at
Gallipoli Zeebrugge, in Africa and
in Flanders Fields, matching the
invincible courage Of the U. S. Ma
rines at Belleau Wood, scissors
and the Meuse-Argonne.
In subsequent years the two
services have broken bread TO-
gether in Australia, China, Ports
mouth, England, Boston, Mass,
Hawaii and at countless seaports
in our own country and abroad.
Only few years ago as a mark
of their friendship, the Royal Ma
rines presented the American sea-
soldiers with a valuable British
bulldog to serve as their mascot.
Sent Silver Cup
In appreciation of this gift, the
U. S. Marines sent silver cup to
their British cousins to be used as
a football trophy. The cup was
presented by the former heavy
weight champion Gene Tunney in
a special ceremony at Portsmouth,
England.
You may have forgotten the
desperate fighting of the Royal
Marines along the Zeebrugge
Mole and at Antwerp during the
first World War, even though you
are aware of their gallantry in the
present war. 1t needed no Wake
Island to let America show that
the U. S. Marines can hold their
own in any sort of situation.
Now the two services are weld
ed together closer than ever In
observation-disclosures friendship,
each taking a special pride in their
country and corps while serving
together in a common cause.

lions Of people who are thrilled
by the sight Of glorious banners
fashioned from their delicate
stitches, they are rewarded by the
knowledge that the flags they
have wrought are today the sig
nails Of liberty and freedom afar
amid the fogs of Iceland and in
the battlesmoke of the Philip
pines.
The most stirring sight at the
Quartermaster Depot is the max
ing of the flag. After thorough
inspection of the cloth to insure
that it comes up to rigid specifica-
tions, the bunting is marked and
cut with an electrically driven
cutting machine into strips Of two
lengths for making the flag. One
hundred strips are cut in a single
operation. The blue field for the
stars is cut in the same manner.
The material for stars is stamped
out with a steel-cutting die on an
electric-driven stamping machine.
The alternate red and white
stripes are joined together on a
double-needle sewing machine.
Each blue bunting field is care
fully marked for its stars, and
the stars are stitched on with a
special machine that produces a
zig gag stitch. Other operations
complete the making Of the flag
of the United States.
The manufacture Of silk colors
and standards is a specialized art
at the Philadelphia Quartermas-
ter Depot. The stripes and field
are cut by hand but the stars are
made of solid embroidered silk on

In frames on q machine provided
with many needles and these turn
out q stitch resembling hand en-
broidery, both sides alike.
Regimental Standards
Regimental colors and stand
ards, with their coats-of arms and
notices, each distinctive unto it's
own military unit, are embroid-
cred by hand. AS many as 80
different shades of silk thread are
used in embroidering each flag.
This calls for exceptional skill
and care to produce the predeter-
mined designs in their exact
blending of shades. All designs
are passed upon by technical ex-
perts in the office of the GUAR
termaster General.
Proudest moment of the I MIA
delphia flag makers is when they
receive an order for the e.lors
carried as a symbol representing
the Commander-in- Chief o. the
Army and Navy of the Uaited
States-the President. This color
has a blue background in the sen.
ter of which is embroidered the
seal of the President. Thets is

sides, and also has a cord ana

of gold-hued, spread eagle. The
design of this flag was established
by Executive Order of Presiden.

1t is not merely because they are
now engaged in all-out warfare
against their countries foes. The
fact that they speak the same lam
guage and that the majority of
Marines in both services have a
common racial background can
not fully account for the good fel-
lOwship which has marked their
contacts with each other for more
than century.
Each has similar duties. Each
is available for duty on land or
sea, anywhere. The globe, eagle
and anchor which marks the
American Marine is similar to the

nese pirates on several occasions
in the 1S5O's, landed together to
suppress a riot in Egypt in 1882,
patrolled the Bering Sea together
in search of seal poachers in 1891,
and fought side by side in Samoa
in 1898.
Both Rout Chinese
On those occasions when the two
services have joined each other in
a social hour, the talk turns to
Peking, China, where British and
American Marines along with a
few allied troops beat back the
onslaughts of Chinese rebels in
1900.
Once the Chinese gained a foot
hold in the Legation Compound
and were menacing the lives of
American and British women and
children, but they were soon routed
by the sea soldiers of America and
Great Britain.
During the first World War
they patrolled the North Sea to-
gether, and it is not unlikely that
these seagoing warriors of both
nations will see action together in

The year 1912 marks the 165th
anniversary of the adoption of the
Stars and Stripes, today q battle
flag proudly carried by American
armed forces in every continent
ON the globe.
In January, 1777, the American
people, elated by General Wash
ington's recent victories at Tren-
ton and Princeton, were seeking
an emblem for the new nation.
The Congress on June ID follow
ing adopted a resolution provid-
ing for a flag Of 13 alternate red
and white stripes with 13 white
stars on a blue field. And then
the inspiring story Of Betsy Ross
who made the first Star-Spangled
Banner in her little upholstery
shop in Arch Street. Philadelphia.
Today the modern Betsy Ross
still sews in Philadelphia
one of hundreds of women skilled
in needlecraft. She plies her art
in the Philadelphia Quartermas-
ter Depot where all the flags used
oy the United States Army are
made.
Story of Betsy Ross
Betsy Ross was born January
1, 1852, and died January 80, 1886,
bat it was not until a third of a
century after her death that the
legend of her handiwork in the
making of the first flag became
generally known. One of her de-
scendants, w. J. Candy, related
the incident before the Historical
Society of Pennsylvania in 1870
and since then she has been ex-
alted as a national heroine.
The modern Betsys take keen
pride in their work. Many have
reached the highest perfection in
the art of embroidery. in design
ing and the blending of colors.

HOW HE'LL GAN HIT JAPAN
csasinued from preceding psSe

warrant an offensive against Japan.
these so-called guerrilla" armies
will lead the way. Theirs will be the
job of carrying out a land offensive
in Japan's rear and cutting off her
escape. Down the long war years,
China's guerrillas have nodded the
science of strategy into a delicate
and venomous art. They have had
their training not in military acade-
mics but in the school of kill-or-be-
killed.
Once l visited a body of troops
camped on the edge Of a deep sw amp.
On the far side of the swamp the
japanese were camped. They. be-
lieving that no Chinese soldier could
cross the deep morass, took made
quate precautions in posting SEN
tries. But one night the Chinese
formed a plan of attack which has
had no parallel before or since. They
rounded up all the water buffalo in
the vicinity. Under cover of rain and
darkness. 400 of the beasts were sent
silently across the swamp - and
on the back of each massive animal
we're perched two slender. sandal
shod Chinese soldiers and one ma
chine gun. The japanese never knew
exactly what kind of nightmare had
attacked them.

and it had not been repaired since.
But at the time l travelled it by
truck. it was still passable.
The Chinese do things that way.
They undertake the impossible and
imperturbably carry it out. The cry
nowadays is that we Americans
badly underestimated our japanese
enemies. Perhaps we did. and one
reason was the fact that we had
badly underestimated our Chinese
friends. Any army. we thought,
which could be stopped short by the
''ill-equipped. half-trained" troops
of Chang Kai-shek must be third
rate army. Even now 1t does not
occur to us that perhaps Japan's
army actually l. . secOnd-rate
one; that had we stationed even
. medium-sizedf force in the Far
East to oppose her, she would
have been halted; and that
China's armies have, after all,
confronted her with nothing
more than machine gums, strait
esy, man-power, imagination -
and CUTS.
These armies of China will now
form one Of our strongest lines OF
offense against the Axis powers. The
Chinese. for instance, make good
pilots. They have that flavoring OF
gay recklessness that our volunteer
flyers have shown in Burma. Once.
when l was visiting Chengtu in far
West China. a feet of japanese
bombers approached the city. Chi
nese student pilots in training there
had received their orders weeks be-
fore: when the japanese come.
take off in your planes and fly due
west. Save your lives and your
planes until you learn to fly"
But that afternoon. the last two
Chinese took off in their small half
armed training ships just in time
to see the l8 oncoming japanese
bombers. spearing in from the east.
They had plenty Of time to get
away, but the temptation was too
much for them. The two l7-year-
olds, who had soloed just three weeks
before. pointed their propellers
towards the east and dived into
those 18 bombers. In the next few
moments, they shot down a bomber
in flames, broke up the formation.
and 50 ratified the japanese that
they unloaded their bombs on open
country and fed for home When the
two students landed they were
speechless with shock and triumph.
One was 80 surprised that he climbed
out of his cockpit and promptly

NTosT PEOPLE realize that a life insurance
1V1 agent is usually man who "lkes peo-
pie" and wants to help them.
What isn't SO obvious is that soanting to
be helpful isn't enough. An agent must also
knov hov :. and that requires knowing how
changing conditions affect policyholders.
For instance, agents today must be able
to answer such new questions as: SIS my life
insurance affected by the new war clauses?"
."How may my life insurance be tied in
with my Social Security?". ."Do the new
taxes require any change in my life insur-
ance arrangements" and scores of other
questions arising from changing conditions.
An agent is always "going to school" be-
cause, policyholders are continually con-
fronted with new life insurance problems.
As they arise, the agent must be ready with
advice and counsel Accordingly, he pre-
pares himself in many ways; for example,
he attends educational meetings and takes
correspondence courses. His studies begin
the first day he enters the business and con-
tinue until he retires.
Last year, many Metropolitan Managers
and Assistant Managers, who supervise and
train agents, attended 81 special three-week
schools. Additional schools are now in prog
ress. Field training instructors are con-
stantly at work with the agents both in the
field and in classrooms Nearly a thousand

In short, keeping abreast of new develop
ments and how they affect your life insur-
ance program is big part of the field mans
responsibilities. If you are Metropolitan
poicyholder these facts are worth keeping
in mind.
When problems arise in connection with
your life insurance, remember that your
agent has probably been confronted with
the same questions before He will be glad

seek, when necessary, the benefit of the ad-
