Our Flag has been waving in the breeze sinco June 1 1, 1777, when
it was adopted by the Continental Congress. I'. S. marines display the
Stars and Stripes along with their regimental standard. At right:
Grand I'ninn, rattlesnake and pine tree flags, prominent among early
colonial banners.
Romance has trailed Old ClorV
since il oceanic our nauonai nag
1;3 years ago. Since that lime it
has symbolized the hopes, aspira
tions and spirit of a nation devoted
to the cause of liberty.
Prominent among early Ameri
can flags, forerunners ol the Stars
and Stripes, were pine trees, rattle
siiuUert mid other designs. The
Grand Union flag, with a British
jack appearing where torly-elgbt
stars are now shown lit a blue
field, was the immediate ancestor
of our national Hag.
Pine tree flags were displayed by
the cruisers of Washington's fleet
which operated in New Kngland
waters, and Mich flags bore the
words, "An appeal to Heaven.''
Italtlesnake designs were fre
riuently used by the southern colo
nies, and a flag of this type was
carried by the U. S. marines and
bluejackets from the Continental
navy, who made a binding in the
Bahamas in .March, 177U. The. rat
tlesnake symbol, with Its motto.
"Don't tread on me," also appeared
nn the drums of American marines
at that time.
The Grand 1'niou flag was popu
lar with naval men ami it was
sometimes nailed the "First Navy
Knsign." There were scores of oth
er colonial banners, each of which
found special favor in the colony
where it originated.
Kven today there is a certain
mystery about Old Glory. Histo
rians fail In agree as to who de
signed it, although tradition points
to Betsy Koss. a Quaker City
seamstress, as the maker of the
first Stars and Stripes adopted by
lh Continental Congress on June
11, 1777.
With a deep appreciation of (he
benefits we enjoy as citizens, each
of us should display the Star
Spangled Banner on Flag day, and
by so doing honor the birth of our
flag. No flag in Hie world is more
beautiful. No flag spreads its folds
over a more highly favored laud
than mirs.

The sword that pierced Jere

Japan Disturbtd by U. S.

the United States complement at
the Philippines with a larger
force.
Announcement on May 7 that
the United States fleet would re
main In Hawaii after maneuvers
there, instead of proceeding to
California as scheduled, created
widespread comment. On May H0
it was announced that the Ha
