George Washington and Betsy Ross , created in a humble home on Arch street, in this city, is more and more apparent every day. It Is the Chief Fact of This Hour the World Over Tri "Iatn-r4 'vnnrc thnf recognized and given an equal place beside the flags & of other nations, being the representative of a new f empire; but if; was to many only the picturesque i- flag of a young and growing nation. A .new day has ? clawned, a new glory has come and a mighty baptism 'f of power has fallen upon the American flag. ' To the soldier and sailor boys, it is evidently a living thing. ' You saw that yourself, did you not, when the i returning men proudly filed past you with the colors, their bright eyes shining as they gazed upon y the flag that they had glorified on the field of battle? jg It seemed as if they were thinking and saying i. softly: "That Old Sweetheart of Mine" Don't you believe that in the long, lonely hours in shell holes and dugouts, these men wept over and kissed the dear' old thing that they were living for and ready to die for? The American colors and its field of stars are now more than a mere symbol. That starry flag is today the greatest constella tion in the skies of all the nations on the globe. The American Flag It is bigger than any territory, more powerful than any political party, and its principles link it to a religion of duty and life broader than any creed. . To love it and be for "what it stands is next to the love of God. Signed June li; 1019.
