From Army Regulation 840-10 (which can be found on-line at www.army.mil/usapa/epubs/pdf/r840_10.pdf):
Color, Chief of Staff of the Army as Lieutenant General (1923): The 1923
regulations authorized silk colors for individuals designated as supreme commanders--the President, the Secretary of War, the Assistant Secretaries of War, the General of the Armies (General John J. Pershing) and the Chief of Staff. They were 4 feet 4 inches on the hoist by 5 feet 6 inches on the fly plus 2 1/2-inch fringe. The color of the Chief of Staff was similar to the current positional color for that officer, but three versions were prescribed depending on the Chief's rank. For a full general or the General of the Armies as Chief of Staff, the color was exactly the same as the current one. For a lieutenant general as Chief of Staff, there was one star on either side of the central insignia and one star above it, and for a major general as Chief of Staff there was one star on either side of the insignia. My image illustrates the version
for a lieutenant general.
