International New* Staff Correspondent Washington, June 14.—Mrs. Calvin Coolldge, representing the president and Secretary of War John W. Weeks, led the nation today In observance of Flag day—the 149th anniversary of the birth of the Stars and Stripes. The chief ceremonies here were held In the president’s park, in the rear of the White House, where Mrs. Coolidge presented the awards to the winners In the essay contest con ducted by the Women’s Overseas Service league, to arrouse Interest In the citizens’ military training camps. I’rize Winners The first prize went to Miss Adele lianiel of Vicksburg, Miss ; the sec ond to Miss Luella Lancaster of Junc tion City, Kan., and the third to Mrs. I >orothy M. Beal of Fredericks Hall, Ya. Maj. Gen. John L. Hines pre sided over the gathering. Secretary Weeks paid homage to the flag as the ’symbol of our na tional identity" and urged citizens generally to support the military training camps. "We all hope the young men who attend camp this summer," he said, "will never be required to use their military attainments in campaign. "Peace Is Normal." "Peace is the normal state of the nation. But this does not mean that the training they acquire will not be an asset to the nation. The nation alism and sense of civil responsibility possessed by the citizens of a coun try constitute that country's strong est assets—assets which are vital at all times. The maintenance of the na tional defense Is a by-product of those assets. J,et us shape our country's life that its citizens will be constantly alert to their duties, as well as their privileges; and that they will be trained to perform, at any time In any crisis, those civic duties. From such a body of citizens, the country may face the future without any doubts. From this standpoint, the training camps are a sign of an un troubled future for our people, in which they will reap the rewards of a lasting peace. “We do this flag the most homage and the deepest reverence, when we •strengthen our country and upbuild our citizens physically, mentally and morally, that they may more effec. lively serve their country and them selves under any circumstances. "Our country Is a great world power today, not merely because we once adopted certain principles of government, but because we proved that we could live as a nation under those principles. Likewise a citizen does not serve his country by merely acclaiming his loyalty. That Is only •in Indication of his excellent inten tions. It is by his deeds, not his words, that he proves himself a pa triot—a follower of the flag. So the flag should remind us of our obllga t "ns for service to a common cuase. ’ flack To Jefferson. The military training camps had as their principal purpose, Secretary Weeks said, the avoidance in the fu t m e of "the useless sacrifice of un 1'ieparedness that so many young Americans were forced to make in lielleau Woods, among the grain fields of SolMon, on the slopes of SI. Mlhlel, and In the Argnnne for est." The principle upon which they were founded, he said, go back to Thomas Jefferson, who he quoted as saying that the "truth must now tie obvious, that we can not he rie fended, hut by making ever citizen a .. soldier." "It has been to our sorrow," Weeks declared, "that we as a nation, have not memorized these words." Burlington Shops Clour.

Smiling as his honk associates and citizens acclaimed him, the general declined to talk of his nomination and followed by as many of the throng as e.ould force themselves into the hank lobby, he retired to his private office and with pipe in hand began opening his mail and telegrams piled high over his desk and the day's work was begun.
