CIRCULATION B 4 :MAVE THE BULLETIN ¥OLLOW You .ofsThe B‘:xn;tm, leaving P i {1 by THE BOYS IN BLUE. + Next month the Boys in Biue arp ‘o hold their national encampment in ‘Washington and great preparations 4are belng made for their entertain- ‘ment. At 2o place in this country is i there more to be seen of interest to |the veterans“than the capital has to ‘ ofter. There is.a great collection of war yrelics there:and among the flags in ‘the museumithere is one.so long that <t stretches the course of several cases. Itsfour stripes are.each a yard wide and its nine stars are larger than any starfish that ever came out of the sea. From end to end it is incased in a honevcomb mesh of twine, a precaution taken to preserve its glory for the.coming ages, for this is the garrison flag that so proudly waved over FortiMcHenry during the ‘bombardment of the British in 1814, and which inspired Francis Scott Key to write the Star Spangled Banner. The flag was placed in the museum by a relative of Col. George Armistead, commander of the fort, who with h men won victory for the standard in ‘“the dawn's early:light” The bodyguard of President Lincoln during the closing years of the Civil war is to hold a reunion there. It was composed of picked men, one from each county in Ohio. FEach man thought he was going to the front, or to lead a forlorn -hope, and he gave his life when he enlisted, and it was accepted as a sacrifice to his count: When the soldiers arrived in Washing- ton they were informed they were to be the bodvguard of the President, and they served as such until after the war closed. . No group of men in the country ‘would attract more interest than these and they may never be seen together again, : The mational encampment for 1915 15 going to be made unusually attrac- tive to the veterans.

SUBJECT TO GROSS MISREPRE- SENTATION. It is doubtful it any class of Amer- lcan citizens are 'being subjected to sTosser misrepresentation than those of German origin and descent. There is 'no question concerning their sympathy for Germany, for it is natural to all of usito hark "backsto the country of our nativity, and to wish it well with all our hearts, not because we are dlind to its faults, but because we are skin to its people. There is no question .that our Ger- man citizens are Americans first, for on geveral occasions when assembled they have'declined to endorse radical and insulting actlonisuggested by some of their hot-headed.leaders, In the.recent comvention at San Francisco they onlys approved of res- olutions urging the passage of adaw forbidding Americans taking passage on alien ships casrying ammunition, and protesting against the traffic in ‘war material with the allies. Congress could pass. no such law as was urged In this free country; and the President's;answer to Austria declaring. that)“the‘placing of an em- bargo on the trade in arms at this time would * * * be a direct viclation of the neutrality of the United States,” is an offieial: interpre- tation of neutrality which congress is likely to sustain. Our American Germans will abide by this interpretation of the law.

It came very near hit- ting me, and if it had it would prob- ably have killed me.” It was near the end of May when Private Smith got his first taste of gas, “We were in reserve mear a rallway tools and were caught in the open. They sent the gas over. I had on only a respirator, but no gogsles, and the gas blinded me for nearly an hour. It was just as if you had taken out my eyes and put in redhot coals in the sockets. My eyes have never been the same since.” C: cified, but although he had not eeen him, he firmly believed that such a thing had happened.

An interesting letter has been re- celved from Lieut. Allan Brooks of the 7th Battalion, 2nd Brigade, dated July 13. Mr. Brooks is ome of Can- ada’s most prominent ornithologists, and a bird artist of wide reputation. He 1s now on active service in France, having from Ottawa with the first contingent. Mr. Brooks writes: “When the war is over it will give me the keenest pleasure to get at my old work again. I learned e0 much from the English artists since last July, and I want to put all this into practice if only I am spared. So far I have been more than lucky and am wondering if it is pos- sible for my Juck to hold good for the the war, if 50, I will be one the Canadian and would realize that this is & man’s war, Here in France and Belgjum, one never sees a young man tically, either in town or country—old men and children do the work, and as for games and races, etc., the people would scorn to attend them.
