The littleisland where his sailors and the sailors of thevanquished fleet r«»i)ose together in the sleep ofdeath, is now become the property of the govern-ment. An appropriation of money will convert itsoon Into a national park, and hereafter it willbecared for by the garrison at Hamburg. In com-menoratton of the event, the whole «fr<»ir is brought10 an appropriate conclusion by the presentation•'•i this flap. tilat it may be raised on the island. Th re are few evils more wanton, few more fatalto the millions, fe.v that minister to the prid.^ of auseless aristocracy more than war. Th«» people suffermost from It. They furnish the soldiers who braveth*> hardships of campaigns, perish on the fielddle^n the hospitals, or return home from them per-manent invalids. They pay {be costs of the warIn taxation, they bear if« sorrows i", th»>ir grief'>ver lost husbands, fathers and children. The soldierla at this motimt tho burden of Europe, and indi-rectly the binJen of America. The militarismor Europe I* a crime second only to war itself. \ Ifthe fla? of our country represented no more thanwar and battles and armies, it would not be worthan instant's respect.

We have entered upon a new era in th's great re-public. Its greatness Is not Its material wealth andopportunity, hut Its new spirit it recoils from war.It has abolished trie soldier of European militarismand in our country we have no standing army andwe have no capable fleet. We shall never have ;ir>vunleea barbarism nets its footing again through ourown srossnesa. We have an army, a fleet and amilitary establishment, but th*y represent neitherconou**! nor absolutism. They are the risfc* r"-j,iof t>,» law. they are the defenders of the" Consti-tution, of the process of law. of the order withinand of the defence without. As such we veti<"-ntethem and we honor them, m any other rapacitywe would scorn them. The flag of this nation lasnot the blood of the conquered to stain Its shiningfouls. May It doit forever over a people pledgedto Justice ;,.'•! peace, and listing war and its conse-(luenvea as if they were the black plague.

The flag was accepted by Cantata Edward Hart-mann, conuaanding off!c-»r of the Plattsborg bar-racks. representing Major General Oraat. com-mander or the Department of the East. The flagwas railed this afternoon on the island amid a sa-lute of twenty-one guns from a battery on theSummer School grounds. The steamer Tlconderogaef the ('hamptaln Transportation Company tookon hoard the residents of Cliff Haven and made acircuit of the island during the ceremony. The pro-ceedings closed with the singing of "The Star Span-i,'!cd Banner."
