“ 'Ow nre yer terday, Mrs. Jones?”
said Mrs. Muggins from the comer
house. “I’m very sorry to ’ear of the
death of your ’usband.”
“Yes, dead and buried, 'e Is, too,"
said the widow, drying her eyes with
the corner of her apron. “Eli 1 bless
’Ini, I gev ’Itu n good funeral; ’e ’ad
sixty followers.”
“ 'Ow did yer manage to feed nil

“Well, ter tell yer the 'onest truth,

“ThereS a Reason "
I have ■ small hoy—a four-jreer old
| —und the other day I mado him a
, “bout" out In the back yard, with n
| sail that he can raise and lower, und
at the top of the mast I tacked on a
“flag” to flutter In the breeze -that
I blown continuously here on Long Is-
{ land. The “dag," like the sail. Is u
piece of ohl canvas. It flaps la the
breeze like uny ting, hnt It does not
mean n thing I 1 can look out of my
window und nee that “flag” fluttering
and not feel the slightest emotion of
i any Hurt. I made It. I know It Is
nothing but a piece of old caovas,
ripped from a large piece and nulled
there.
Home day—but God forfend any
such day—that “flag” might have a
meaning for me. 1 might look out of
my window and see It fluttering there
nnd know that my boy would never
again look up at It In bln and
the sight of the poor rag mlgut fill my
heart with agony. If any neighbor
then came Into my yard and laid rough
hands on that flag und tore It down
and trampled on It I think I would
kill him. The poor rug would be sa-
cred because of the memories that
Clung to M.
It Is because It means so much, is
the symbol of so much, that our na-
tion’s flag Is so sacred that the Win
who defiles It deserves to be shot
down in the act.
A flag Is a symbol, a sign, as the
cross Is a symbol and as the triangle
Is a symbol. The mere silk or bunt-
ing of the flag ure nothing. A burial
squad tramps through the woods bear-
ing the body of n dead comrade, and
digs his gruve und covers him over In
his last bed. On the ground lie two
bits of wood. They are nothing but
bits of wood, to be burned, or to be
| left to decay. The deud man’s com-
! rndes pick them up and bind one
across the other and plant the cross
thus made at the hepd of the grave.
Now the bits of wood have become a
\ sacred sign and whoever destroys that
cross, or defiles it, or throws it down
| Is Indeed a dog. The hunting and the
! silk of our flag are nothing; not un-
til they nre assembled in the Stars and
Stripes of our flug and thrown to the
breeze as the symbol of loyalty and
patriotism do they demand our rever-
ence.
Why We Honor the Flag.
We honor the flag because of what
It stands for. Those who dishonor
our flag dishonor all It stands for. In
days like these, when our nntlon Is at
war, there might be placed under the
dome of the cnpitol ut Washington a
great book of u thousand pages. On
the first page might be Inscribed the
Ain/rtenn’s Creed, proclaiming a be-
lief in national honor, national Justice
und national honesty and a belief In n
free government for this free Ameri-
can people. To Washington then
might be cnlled all the people of the
nntion, to sign, one after another,
their names in the great book so that
nil America and all the world might
know how each man und woman and
child stood, until nil our millions were
enrolled. There Is no need of this.
The American’s Creed Is written In
the Stars and Stripes of our flag. Our
flag stands for all that could be writ-
ten In the grent book at Washington.
It stands for honor, justice, national
honesty and a free government, and
when the time of stress comes, as at
present, the flag Is nt hand, ready to
be raised In twenty million homes, a
proclamation of loyalty as valid as a
signed and sealed book. Our flag Is
not a gaily colored decoration to
brighten our towns and villages; It Is
a creed—an “I believe”—to tell our
neighbors, our nation, and the whole
world how we stand.
It Is remurkable to what an extent
lings, even the simplest, tell tlie na-
tional stories. I chanced upon the flag
of the little grand duchy of Luxem-
burg a few days ago for the first time.
I had long been familiar with the
Luxemburg coat-of-arms, which Is a
standing lion on a barred shield, sur-
mounted by the ducnl coronet, and I
had Imagined the flag of Luxemburg
would be something like that. It Is
three straight bars, or stripes, of red,
white nnd blue. These nre the colors
of Frnnce, but they are nrranged on
the flag of Luxemburg ns nre the red,
white and black of Germany, and not
perpendicularly as In the French flag.
The flag tells Its own story. The peo-
ple of Luxemburg speak German;
their sympathies are entirely French.
In something of the same way the
flag of Great Britain tells Its story,
with tlie Kt. George’s cross of Eng-
land, St. Andrew’s cross of Scotland
nnd St. Patrick’s cross of Ireland com-
bined. The true story of Prussianism
nnd Its brutal aggressions Is told by
the German flags. The German em-
pire. so much boasted. Is shown by
Its flng to be but a footstool on which
the king of Prussia wipes his feet, for
In Its center is the black eagle of;
Prussia, crowned, and the black cross
of Prussia Is smeared all over It. The
German emperor Is Prussia and noth- j
tng hut Prussia—a militnry autocracy
holding Bavaria, Wurttemburg, Sax-
ony nnd all the other states In pnwn, i
Just ns the klng-Uniser would like to
hold New York, California and all of
America, and as he now holds help- j
less Luxemburg and brave Belgium, j
The Mack In nil the German flags is
the blaek of Prussia, and black la the j
color that wa* chosen by the pirates
and (utthrouts.
Every one knows the story of our
own flag, with the thirteen stripes thut
signify tlie thirteen original state*
of oar Union, und the stars, oue for
each state In the Union today. Wheth-
er Betsy Boss or another first sewed
together the stripes and stitched the
originul thirteen stars in place on
their blue field matters little, for flags
are not made in that way. Our flag
was made when the wise fathers of
our nation decreed that this should be
a union of sovereign states and that
no kingly crown or Imperial eagle
should appear on our baunera. The
long deliberations and deep wisdom
of the founders of the nation mude
possible n flag of thirteen stripes when
they decreed that euch state should
continue Its Individual existence un-
der the national government, and In
effect decreed the many-sturred blue
field when they said that new states,
us they became worthy, might enter
the Union.
Even then our flag was not a flag.
It had to win a place for itself and
u right to existence. It was as If the
stripes were not yet welded together
or the stars riveted in their places.
Through the long years of the Revolu-
tionary war the American lighting
men gave their lives and shed their
red blood that the flag might become
a permanency. Eneh dying soldier by
his death gave life to the flag. It was
born of their blood.
There wus no “separate peace” tnndo
by Massachusetts or New York or Vir-
ginia, to tear one of the thirteen
stripes from the flag or to rip one of
the thirteen stars from the blue field.
Year after year, cold, hungry, half
clothed, benten about anil buffeted,
retreating and advancing, the Revolu-
tionary heroes who had ut first fought
under a dozen different Hugs, fought
under the Stars and Stripes, making
It a flag. When the struggle ended
nt Yorktown tho flag was already sa-
cred, made so by the blood of those
who died for -the freedom of their
fellow countrymen. Our flng wus not
made by those who worked with
needle nnd thread hut by those who
died for high Ideals. The blackest
traitor that ever betrayed our country
might sew silk or bunting together;
our flng was made by Washington und
his men, Jackson and his men, Lin-
coln and his men. The great minds
nnd grent hearts and brave men and
women of the past made our flag a
real flag. They made the flag for us;
today we are making it for those who
will come after us.
Must Be Made Again.
I say we are making it, because you
and I, I hope, are doing all we cun to
help our army and our navy win the
’fight against the blood-reeking autoc-
racy thnt wishes to unmnke half the
flags of the world and put the modern
flng of piracy In their places. For
this is true: Each flag that is a real
flag must be made agair and again
with the passing years. It is true our
flng has been made and perpetrated.
In times of peace It has ueen a Hag
of peace and a truer symbol of peace
thnn the white flng of submission. It
has nlso been a war banner ns glori-
ous us any thnt ever floated above the
heads of armed men. Again and again,
when brave men fought for what they
believed to be right and justice, our
flag has been torn by shot and shell
nnd drenched with blood. It has
gone forth nt the head of armies, silk-
en and fringed with gold, to come
bnck torn nnd tattered but a moro
splendid ensign of liberty than it had
ever been before. It has left our ports
floating from proud ships and has
sunk beneath the waves when the bat-
tered ships went down and was a
greater flag then than it had been.
Like the phoenix it has arisen from
every fire of trial in renewed glory.
And on each Flag day, it will float
from the staffs of a million American
homes, perhaps from ten million or
twenty million, but its greatest glory—
the greatest glory of Its 140 yenrs—Is
thnt it will float in the breezes of
France and Flanders beside tho flugs
of Belgium, France and Great Britain,
nnd on the seven seas of the world, in
the world’s greatest combat against au-
tocratic brutality. No longer the flag
of a group of colonies. Old Glory has
become the banner of a world-power,
the emblem of the mightiest free peo-
ple that ever existed.
Old Glory's New Birth.
Never were the stripes of our flag
brighter or the stars more brilliant on
their field of blue than they are today.
In field. In mine, In factory, In home. In
garden. In camp, on ship. In trench and
In battle line the men and women and
the children of our vast free empire
nre united in one great cause, and the
free flng of a free people floats over
them, unstnined and unspotted.
From generation to generation, since
Old Glory was born, flags have died,
hut Old Glory has had new birth. The
white flng of royal France and the
standard of Napoleon have given wny
to the tricolor, but Old Glory still
waves. From generation to generation
our flag is born anew, re-created In our
hearts, ever better loved and more sa-
cred in our eyes, because it is the flng
for which our heroes have died and be-
cause it Is the symbol of the only gov-
ernment that can endure—a govern-
ment of the peepie, by the people and
for the people. It is the flng of no king
or czar or emperor but your flng nnd
my flag and the flag of the brave boy
who has gone with a song on his lips
to die that we may remain free. Iiartl\
has no greater glory today than Old
Glory. For a century and a half It has
floated above our soil, n sign that we
are free. Today It floats on alien
breezes, in foreign lands, not for con-
quest but as an earnest that all na-
tions that desire freedom shall hence-
forth be free.
