the- capitoPdpme on March 5,
1917,. when President \V T ilson
was inaugurated antiagain when
the President delivered hi-* war
address.to Congress April 4 and
5, 1917. This Hag was also flown
on the - occasions of the visits of"
the various foreign missions to
the capitol and raised proudly
the day the armi*tice.was signed.
The bureau of publicity of the
Treasure announces that this
V'
priceless Hag will he presented
as a permanent souvenir to the

declared war the strength of
the navy was 87,000 in men and
oHicers. At the signing of tlie
armistice it was 500,000.
The nuvy did not have many
spectacular engage meats, the
slinking German war ships .
kept too well under cover for
that, but the kaiser’s mysterious,
gray weasels of the sea were at

Rian two million men landed
safely in Europe; it was - a
stupendous success.
On bitter winter nights—and
that season of 1917—J918 was
one of the coldest in our history
those faithful guardians of the
sea kept their vigils. Standing
watch through tlie blaek hours,,
eyes strained to catch sight of
qstile periscopes, each second

It was aAkmg watch, but it

Will you, too, keep the faith?
The navy’s work is not fini*hed
though the long vigil is over.
Transports are still busy bring

furnish that money so that

their job. Subscribe to the Vic
