Vasiiington, April 4. Today -the American flag is wavirig over the shell pitted battlefields of Europe, carried side by side with the colors of France, Great Britain, Belgium and, other na tions allied in the great-war for free dom and democracy. At home probably 10,000.000 Amer ican flags are waving serenely in the varied breezes of our spacious land, significant of the calm and dignified, yet deep and lasting patriotism of the people of the United States. Be this our native land or adopted country, we pledge allegiance to that flag, uncover as we pass and wear it in miniature as a token of our loyalty. : And yet how many Americans are sufficiently well acquainted with the origin and history of Old Glory to be able to". recall that today is the cen tennial anniversary of the adoption of the American flag in its present form the flag consisting of 13 hori zontal stripes of alternate red and white, representing the 1j original states, with a white , star in a blue field for each state of the union. .The Colonial Flags. Naturally there were many forms ,o early flags, 1 especially colonial tj'pes used by the individual colonies and militia regiments before the flag of the United States was established by the continental congress on June 14, 1777. This act required that the flag of the United States be of 13 alternate red and white stripes, and that the union be 13 white stars on a blue field, representing a new constel lation, iut it did not design how many points the stars should have, how they should be arranged nor make provi sion for additional ones. The men who carved the nation from the chaos of political strife did not foresee the possibilities of 48 commonwealths when they designed the flag. All the empire their minds could then compass was hedged about by the territory of other nations. So when new states began to appear Washington asked a new stripe and a new star be added for each new comer. JJy 1818, when territorial expansion was proceeding on r. stupendous scale, it, was' seen that the flag was about to become an unlovely, cumbersome affair, for it then had 20 stars and 20 stripes, so congress enacted a law that gave tis the flag of today 13 stripes for the original colonies, and stars arranged in parallel lines on the union, one for each state as it was ad mitted. The War department deter mines the order in which the stars are to be placed, and the revised flag comes into official use the 4th of July following the admission of. the state bringing the star. v : - Start for the States. Many styles and forms o the stars and stripes flag were in existence up to 1842, and it was not until Presi dent Taft's administration that def finite specifications were drawn . up. October ?9, 1912, an executive order concerning the flag was made and it provided for the specific arrangement of the stars. They were to;be ar ranged in six horizontal rows of eight stars each. Starting in the up per left hand corner and placing each row from left to right, the star cor responding to each state is named in the order of the states' ratification of the constitution. The following list shows at a glance vhich state is represented by each star: First Row No. 1, Delaware; 2, Pennsylvania; 3, New Jersey; 4, Georgia; 5, Connecticut; 6, Massa chusetts; 7, Maryland; 8, South Carolina. i Second Row No. 9, New Hamp 4 shire; 10, Virginia; 11, New York; 12, North Carolina; 13, Rhode Island: 14, Vermont; 15, Kentucky; 16, Ten nessee.
