british HISTORY WRONG.
:. Misleading Account of the Baltic OF
White Plains.

<ASS''uhI al ING lSAtClO OF
White Plains.
In its series of supplements recount
ing Tho Battle Eonors of the Services
The British Navy and Army Illustrated
once i'll awhile says something about
tho British forces i'll the Revolutionary
war. When it does, it is pretty sure ia
be inaccurate
Tho covor of ono issue of the "Bat-
tie HonUrs" has = spirited picture Of
BragS's grcnadiers winning the battle
of White Plains where they won the
mama of the "Slushers,' because they
threw away their tlintlocks and carried
an intrcnchmcnt with their short
swords. The picture is entitled Tho
Slashers ct the Baltic of White Plains,
1873.
Tho battle of White Plains was
fought, as Il matter of fact, on Oct. 2S,
1876. 1t is stated in the publication
that Washington sent 5000 men to oc.
cupy IL hill above the ford of the
Brunx, " and that this position was
carried hy the 'Slashcrs' with their
swords. 1t is also said that "soon after
tins turning movement General Wash.
lnSton. abandoning his stores, retired
with his army toward Connecticut. -
AS matter of fact the position re-
fcrred 10 was held by 400 Americans
under General McDougal and WAS car
ricd by British force of 1000. One
would think from reading the British
version OF tho fight that the "Slashers"
whipped the entire American army.
There were other British regiments en-
gagged i'll the work OF carrying Chatter
ton hill, and it is unfair To them to give
all the credit To the "Slashcrs -
OF what took place after the position
was carried the version given by The
Navy and Army Illustrated is doliber-
ntcly misleading. Tho facts are that
when tho hill was carried General Nc.
Dougal retired to Washingtou's camp
with IA loss of so prisoners and 100 kill
ed and wounded. The British lost 800
killed and wounded. Howe did not dare
to attack Washington, but sent for re.
endorsements, and on Nov moved
his augmented army to Dobbs Ferry.
Washington, being confronted by supe-
rior numbers, retired not toward Con
nectlcut, but across the Hudson to New
Jersey on Nov. 0.
When nation starts out TO Writo its
military history and distorts it iii some
particulars, it makes one doubt tho
truth of all. The truth about the baltic
of White Plains would rebound Just as
much to the glory of tho Slashers'' as
does the perverted account published by
the navy and army. New York Press

Impassibility will render them in
vulnerable to sickness, suffering or sor-

after the resurrection pass through

Agility will make them transport
