where the precious blood is classified and stored. This nurse Is

The flag of Alaska, which is now hanging in the Cadet Chapel at
The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina, is one of the
three in the United States proper as far as is known by its donor,
Mr. Nicoloi Astashkin of Charleston.
Mr. Astashkin is a native of Kodiak Island. He was educated in
Russia and graduated from the Imperial Naval Academy in St.
Petersburg. After graduating he was commissioned in the Russian
Imperial Navy and was made commander of a submarine during
the World War. At one time he was stationed near Finland.
After the Red Revolution of October, 1917, he left the Russian navy
and came to the United States. On a recent visit to The Citadel, he
no|ed the absence of the Alaskan flag in the Chapel collection and
requested the privilege of presenting one.
Mr. Astashkin and General C. P. Summer all, President of The
Citadel and former Chief of Staff of The United States Army, are
