STAR SPANGLED BANNER.
WHAT IT STANDS FOR.
By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright, WASHINGTON, June 16.
President Wilson, in an address in connection with Flag Day, said he wondered at those who used the American flag boastfully. The flag meant that national power should be justly used. It stood for self-possession, and asserting the right of one nation to serve other nations, not for aggression or •self-aggrandisement. It was a pitiful thing to have to make apology for •anything Americans did under the shelter of the Flag.
