An act was passed In 1014 which granted the ue of the Fort McHenry Slllltary reservation to the city of Baltimore for park purposes. ; The new bill amends the 1914 act o as to read. In part: The secretary of war Is hereby authorized and directed, so soon as It may no longer be needed for uses and needs growing out of the recent war. to begin the restoration of Fort McHenry, In the state of Marylund, now occupied und used as a military reservation, including the restoration of the old Fort Mcllery proper to the condition In which It was on the 1st of September, 1S14, and to place the whole of said military reservation In such condition as would make It suitable for preservation permanently as a national park and perpetual national memorial shrine as the birth-- " Banner,' place of the tnuuortul written by Francis Scott Key; and that the secretary of war be. and be Is hereby further Ixed and directed, as are bis successors, to bold the said Fort McHenry In perpetuity as a military reservation, national park and memorial, and to maintain It as such . . . the said reservation to be maintained as a national public park, subject to such regulations as may from time to time be Issued by the secretary of war: Provided, That the citizens of Baltimore city and of the state Maryland, shall be given as free and full access to and use of said national park as they wnld enjoy If this were a part of the park system f Baltimore city." Provision Is made for restoration and improvements under approval of the secretary of war and at the expense of the United States. The sum of 1100.000 Is appropriated for the work and $10,000 nun a fly for maintenance. Nothing Is said In the bill about a museum of appropriate relics. Nevertheless, If Fort McHenry Is to be restored and preserved as a "perpetual national memorial shrine as the birthplace of the Immortal Banner," It would seem that the Flag which Inspired the national hymn hnuld be a feature of the shrine. For the original Banner the actual piece of red, white and blue bunting that Key was so anxious to see "by the dawn's early light," Is still In existence, tt Is probably the most Interesting bit of bunting In the world o good AmeriIs In the National museum In Washing cans ton thousands go to see It every year. This sacred reltc Is now more than one hundred years old and Imiks its age. It Iras, however, been mounted on net and hps been carefully mended. With pood care It should last a long time. Ab eiery good American knows or should know the Flag now consists of thirteen alternate red and white stripes, representing t lie thirteen original states, and a live field on which are forty-eigwhite stars, arranged in six rows of eight stars each, representing the forty-eigh states now constituting the Union. The and forty-eightstars were added In 1912 when New Mexico and Arizona were admitted. The original Flag was adopted by congress June 14. 1777 that's why June 14 Is observed as Flag Day. It had thirteen stripes and thirteen stars. It was the plan In the early days to add both a star and a stripe to the Flag for each new state. But ft was soon seen by 1812 there were Ave Dew state that while a star could easily be added, additional stripes were out of the question. The addition In 1794 of two stripes for Vermont (1791) and Kentucky (17!2) destroyed the proportions f fhe Flag. So there were never more than fifteen stripes, and the fifteen were officially reduced t the original thirteen In 1318. Tfa f Interest to note that tha Fort Mclfetiry Flag has bnt fifteen star, though In 1814 there were eighteen states, Tennessee (17!5), Ohio (180?) and Ixilslana (1912) having beea admit-led- . l!m fifteen ft has In six alternate rows uf three and two stars, beginning at the edge of the AHd ext the stan. The explanation Is that n fllclnl ehance was made In the Hag between 171M an1 IRIS, The Flag In ISIS was given twenty stars, Inrtlnnn and Mississippi having been admitted, and thirteen stripes.

Eluding tiie frigates that once Imclippressed American seamen, these per ships pursued and captured enemy merchantmen by. the hundred, prisoners by Jie thousands, and booty that ran Into millions. To the enemy the waters of the Chesapeake had now become little better than a "nest of privateers and plrutes." It was clear to them that the Chesapeake must be rid of these pests, the federal capltul captured, and Baltimore forced to pay for damage done and be made the point of a wedge to drive the North and South apart. Then Fredericksburg and Iticlmiond could be threatened or captured on the south. Philadelphia and New York on the north. The British were driving south from Canada and were at Plnttsburg. They proposed to sweep down and moke a Junction with the 9.000 troops quartered en the. fleet la the Cbes;ipenke. Then by uniting their forces from Luke Champluln and the Chesapeake and having neutralized New England, they would coerce and subjugate America once acaln. Washington bad fullen easily, a body of our regulars and militia hud been defeated at Bhidens-burg- , and the Chesapeake const line wus at the mercy of the "redcoats" all hut that section protected by the guns of Fort McHenry and troops gathered Id the vicinity. To be pitted against our soldiers were continental veterans fresh from their victories on the continent of Europe. In the Chesapeake were not only Wellington's Invlnc'Jdes but Nelson's marines, distinguished at Trafalgar and the battle of the Nile. The Invading fleet numbered some fifty sail a 1. rge proportion of them classed as and frigates of the luie. Against this armada with Its troop transports, America could oppose nothing atioat. The hop of tlie Middle Atlantic seaboard and perhaps tiie Union itself lay in the city of Baltimore, and the hope of Balilmore lay In the garrison and guns of Fort McHenry and such untrained troops as could be mustered for other land " defenses. No wonder that Gen, Sir Itobert Iloss, who com mnnded the British troops, declared that he would "enl his supper In Baltimore" subsequent to his first Uuy on land. Nothing seemed to him more certain even If, as be said, "it ralus militia." Baltimore was picked to be his winter headquarters and a logical base for further operations north, south or west. F.arly on Sunday morning. September 11, the alarm was Bounded through the streets of Baltimore. The British fleet bad entered the I'atnpsco river. The cannon boomed on the courthouse plaza, summoning the militia to anus. The defensive force and equipment of Fort Mc-- , Henry were supplied lnrely by the citizens of the beleaguered port.
