AMERICANS HAD BUT THREE SHOTS.

AMERICANS HAD BUT THREE SHOTS.
The front of the British formation
was on the average 1900 feet from the
American line. Jackson took his
station about at the centre of the main
line. He sent orders to the artillery to
open as soon as the British could be
seen moving, and told Coffee, Car
roll and Adair to reserve their rifle
fire until the enemy's cross belts
could be distinguished.
awe must try to check them with
two volleys, or at most three" he said
to Coffee, "because our men can't
load their rifles more than three or
four times while they (the enemy are
reaching the works"
Adair walked along the rear of the
line and said to his Kentuckians !:
"Count the eremy's files down and
each pick your file man as nearly as
possible.
At last the fog began to scale up,
disclosing dimly the "red line" With
measured tread, at route step, the
British Regulars came on, the Forty
fourth Essex leading, its major
splendidly mounted IN front. Jack
sons cannon flashed into the mist
again and again, but Wellington's
veterans were used to that, and kept
steadily on. Not a word yet from the
rife-line. Octagonal muzzles peered
over the logs. but they were silent.
THE ADVANCE OF ENGLAND's FINEST.
Richard Oglesby, in his charming
little pamphlet of 1928, entitled "The
Kentucky Volunteers" tells with
graphic grace the story of the "over-
ture." 1t would be crime to revise
his text. He says:
"We all felt that the supreme nfom-
ent was at hand. Our men sat or
spraw.ed on the ground close to the
breastwork or leaned up against it.
Every rifle was loaded, prlmed and
ready. Every man, knowing that we
would have to fire fast as soon as the
enemy started to charge, put two or
three bullets in his mouth and as
many patches between the fingers
of his left hand. Everyone scraped
his flint clean, and set the jaw-screw
hard down with the point of his hunt
ing-knife. We all realize that there
could be no cker.in-the-pan or miss
fire then!
"Old Ben Hardin, captain of our
company had been talking with Gen
eral Adair, and now came toward us
at a rapid pace. The moment he
(Hardin) reached our line Adalr
raised his hand. Hardin acknowledged
the signal and called out to our lieu
tenant, who was sitting on the ground:
Get up, Ballard, and snuff that
fellows candle' pointing with his
finger to the mounted officer leading
the English advance.
THE SHOT THAT SHOWED THE WAY.
"Ballard was an officer, but you
must know that the company officers
then carried rifles the same as the
men, and used them, too.
sBallard rose his full six feet, bowed
politely to Ben Hardin, as much as to
say THANK you, sir, for the honor of
the first shot, brought his rifle butt to
his cheek, threw his left foot forward,
raised the muzzle slowly, steadied her
for second, and when she cracked
the British officer reeled in his saddle
and toppled head-frst to the ground"
Oglesby, full of the fierce spirit of
the time, fairly gloated over the ghast-
ly details of what he calls "that first

Americans, says Dun's Rerietr. The
European notion that the United

Everybody knows great panic must
follow the outbreak of war;, the COM
mercial buyers notion that every
body would be ready to sell every
thing cheap if war came, the notion
that it would pay to hoard money
until the emergency had passed, have
all been made laughable already. The
only panic was when money lenders
were wondering what deadly impos-
sibilities the unknown might have in
store for them. The only hindrance
of industry has been due to waiting of
buyers who looked for lower prices.
American fleets are complaining
only because the Spanish Armada has
been more invisible than invincible.

Our Relations with England.


Alarmists are prophesying, and per-
haps not without reason, a universal
war in Europe as the outcome of the
war between the United States and
Spain.
The prediction of a general war in
Europe has been made many times be-
fore. Though the great powers have
worked in concert on several occa-
sions, each has had a jealous eye upon
the others, and particularly jealous
have the others been of British pres
tige. The so-called "concert of the
powers has become mere by-word,
subject for ridicule, and rupture has
been narrowly averted on more than
one occasion by diplomacy.
Students of European politics are
almost unit in declaring that the
only way out of the present tangled
condition of European affairs seems
through a war which will involve all
the powers of Europe. In this war
England would be pitted against
France, Germany, Russia and les
ser powers. Hence the significance
which the other European powers at
tach to England's present friendliness
toward her Anglo Saxon brothers in
America, and the alarm with which
they view possible alliance between
Great Britain and the United States.
The attitude assumed by England
has already done much toward pre-
venting European interference in our
war with Spain. There is little doubt
that but for England's emphatic emo"
to a proposition from the other pow
ers to GUST us from the Philippines,
we would be compelled to withdraw
Dewey and his feet from Manila, or
maintain our position by force in the
face of armed and hostile Europe.
These kind Offices we must accept,
and though we may refuse the prof
fered alliance with England, we must
acknowledge our Indebtedness to her
the alliance, though not existing in
terms, will nevertheless exist in fact.
Thus it seems that, whether we will
or no, we are being drawn into an al
lance with England which will prove
a menace as well as benefit, for if
England's attitude fails to prevent in
reference the long predicted Euro
pean war may be precipitated, and
WIG would ho droup into II
Many see in the sympathy and help
of England only the sentiment it ex-
presses, the beginning of a new and
happier era of friendship and broth
erhood between two nations so closely
related by ties of blood. But the ties
of friendship, of brotherhood, carry
not only their pleasures and profits,
their sympathy and love, but their
sterner obligations, each to each. If
we accept the proffered friendship
and how can we refuse-we must ac-
cept also the obligations.
Our destiny is forcing us onward to
things we wot not of. The young
giant of the western hemisphere,
though preferring peace and pastoral
pursuits, must perforce take it's right
full place among the nations of the
world in the march onward to univer-
sal peace and higher civilization,
though the march may lead us
through paths which we hoped to
avoid.

The island of Luzon, on which is the
city of Manila, the scene of Admiral
Dewey's great naval victory, is
larger than the states of New York
and Massachusetts; the entire area of
the Philippine Islands is 10 per cent.
greater than that of the New England
states, New York, New Jersey, Mary
land and Delaware combined. Many
persons who consider themselves we'll
informed upon commercial affairs
have been greatly surprised to learn
that the United States has more trade
with the Philippine Islands than all
the rest of the world combined.
What the United States will do with
these valuable islands is question
that is already being much discussed
in Washington. This government
will hold them until the war is over,
and then decide what disposition shall
be made of them. That is as far as
has been determined upon by the
President.
