said : |
"We would prevent the shipment of
American horses to the Old World bat
tlefields If we had the power, but we
have no means of Interfering. When
Senator Hitchcock was Introducing his
resolutions in Washington defining
what articles of exi>ort might be re
garded as contraband, this society did
all In Its i>ower to have him include
the horse. But In Washington It was
Kftld that to deny the right of the na
tions to purchase a breach of neutral
ity:
"Under the circumstances, all we
have been able to do is to watch the
large shipments.
"We Inspect the animals and the
quarters in which they are to be ship
ped, and our veterinarians prevent the
sailing of any animal" which may be
diseased and suffering. It Is to be
admitted that the condition of the
horses on their arrival and shipment
has boen^ remarkably good. Of a ship
ment of 750 from the Bush Terminal,
for instance, there were only twenty
nine horses which we condemned."

The Star Spangled Banner o| Fort Mo
Honry In 1814.
HuukIiik from tbe wall* of tbe Nh
tlonnl museum In Washington Is one of
tbe most famous flags lu the world -
the star spangled banner that floated
over Fort Me Henry during the British
attack In September, 1814. Tbe flag
measures no lens than 26 by 80 feet.
At tbe time of tbe buttle Fort Me
Henry, Just outside the elty of BoKI
more, was iu command of Major George
Armistead. The garrison Aug that flew
from Its ramparts was uiadq by a Mrs
Mary Plnkersglll, assisted by her
daughter, Mrs. Carollne'T. Purdy.
In the battle ouo of tbe stars was
shot away by a British shefl. After tbe
war tbe banner became tbe property of
Major Armistead and was left by blm
to his daughter. Mrs. Appleton. It was
from the son of that lady. Mr. Eben
Appleton. that the museum received it
two years ago. Tbe arrangement is
that the flag shall remain permanently
in the custody of tbe museum and
must not be permitted to leave the
building to be exhibited anywhere else
Time has somewhat marred the beauty
of the banner, but no American can
look at the fading ond worn fabric
without a thrill. That Is the flag that
gave birtb to tbe uatlonat anthem of
lils country.? Youth's Companion.
