HORRORS OF
WORLD WAR
Restored by Spe-ial Process After
Having Caen In Tatters For Years,
They Are a Living Proof of the Hero
ism of Our Si'd'era ar.d Sailors.
In the auditorium of the academic
building at the 1'nited States Naval
academy at Annapolis are 15,000 square
yards of flags, iu> st oi' them trophy
flags.
The capture of these tattered tan
ners helped to make the stars and
stripes respected by the nations of the
earth and reflect undying glory on the
men of the United St iles navy. They
are living prools of the heroism and
courage of the soldiers and sailors who
fought to maintain the Cag when the
uatlon was struggling for independ
ence and luter when it was fighting to
establish firmly the foundations of the
greatest republic of the world.
From IS 17 to 1001 this collection of
flags, which sbould be one of Amer
ica's most highly prized treasures, was
kept at the Naval academy aud exhib
Ited in the old naval institute hall.
Iu 1001, when It was decided to tear
down this buildiug, the flags were
packed in Iron boxes and stored away.
Being in a dilapidated condition when
they were taken down to be packed,
grave fears were entertained that they
would be further damaged by moths.
During the ten years they remained
In storage repeated efforts were made
to have the government take some
steps to put them in a permanent state
of preservation, but without success
In 1012 congress appropriated $110,000
for the work of preservation.
About three months later Mrs. Amelia
Fowler, an expert on flag preservation,
obtained the services of forty needle
women, who began the arduous task
of sewing over by hand every inch of
the 15,000 square yards in the flags, as
the natural decay of age as well as the
almost hopeless ravages of moths made
any ordinary method of preservation
seem impossible.
A special prot-oss was originated by
Mrs. Fowler, which Is described as
"spreading the tattered remnants of
each flag upon a backing of heavy
Irish linen of neutral color."
The delicate work was guided by the
original measurement of the flag, by
a knowledge of its design and by plac
ing In vertical and horizontal line the
warp and woof threads In the frag
ments of bunting.
What remained of the original flag
was then sewed firmly to the linen
backing by needlewomen under Mrs.
Fowlei^s instruction and guidance.
Less than a year after the labor of
repairing was begun, on May 1G, 1913,
the flags were completed and put on
exhibition at the Naval academy.
In the ceiling of the acadcmic build
ing is one of the most interesting of
the trophy flags. It is a British royal
standard taken from the parliament
house at York, now Toronto, then the
capital of upper Canada, when the
place was taken by the squadron under
Commodore Isaac Chauncey and a land
force under General Zebulou Montgom
ery Pike, April 27, 1S13.
The squadron, with about 1.700 sol
diers aboard, effected a landing at York
under cover of a fire of grape from the
ships, cleared a way through the In
dians and sharpshooters that the Eng
lish had formed to oppose them and
stormed the batteries. The capture of
York resulted In the acquisition of the
royal standard, the only British royal
standard captured and held by any
nation.
The flags captured by Aimlral Dewey
at Manila bay are in this auditorium,
and some of them are exquisite. The
one flown at the main of the Spanish
cruiser Don Antonio de TJlloa Is a re
minder of the plucky captain of that
cruiser, Enrique Ttirbiou. who refused
to surrender at the battle of Manila
bay on May 1, 1S9S, so the Ulloa sank
with its guns blazing defiance and all
flags flying.—Boston Globe.
