SieG"d by vastly superior numbers.
Fortunately, a fierce storm of thunder
and lightning ragged for hours and pre-
vented the French from attacking. At
nightfall Washington capitulatCd and
marched forth with the honors of war.
Just 21 years after the contrctemps
in the wilderness the 4th of July dawn
ed under brighter auspices for Virgin
las fayoritc son. That day, 1ITTJ. Cen
eral George Washington issued his first
order to the colonial army at Cam
bridge. There was no union then and
little cohesion among the colonies, and
he anticipated the great event of July
/, 1II6, by asking that in the army ''all
distinction of colonies be laid aside"
Two years later, in his camp ut Morris
town, he inaugurated the celebration
by the army Of the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence.
There is Il gap in the chronology of
important events in our annals which
occurred July !, extending from 17IG
to 1904. Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born at Salem, Mass, July t, 1901.
Three great presidents Jefferson Ad-
ANS ana MonrOC-and the most bril-
liant orator of the era when the results
of the war were harvested by wise
CounScls, Fisher Amcs of Masaachu-
scttS, passed away ON anniversaries of
the nations birth.
Jefferson and Adams, two of the
founders of liberty in the new world,
died the same day, July /, 1S26 These
two patriots. jefferson of Virginia and
Adams of Massachusetts, had been the
most conspicuous in the throng of de-
termincd men on July i, 1TT6 when
the burning words of Patrick Henry,
Liberty or DEATH became the watch
word of the coloniSts in congress as
scmblcd. Amcs died July 4, 1SOS.
James Monroe, founder of the doe
trnc that foreign interference with
American republics will not be tolerat-
ed, died July /. 1881.
There was Il scurrying among dele
rates to be in their places early on July
!, 1916, when the vote was taken on
he Declaration. Caesar Rodney rode
50 miles in saddle to place Delaware
Oh record. The journal of the proceed
in%s of congress contains the following
simple announcement Of the history
making event:
"A@rccahly to the order of the day,
the congress resolved Itself into COM
mittcc of the whole to take into their
further consideration the Declaration,
and after some time the president re-
sumcd the chair, ana Mr.. Harrison re
ported that the committee have agreed
TO a declaration which they desired to
have him report. The Declaration, be
ing read, was agreed to-"
The result of the vote was announced
10 the assembly at o'clock in the aft
ernOOn.

Oh, for another July Fourth,
The Fourth of days agone,
When cannon beloved on the green
Before the break of dawn.
When with the village band we march

Alire with freedoms glow,
Oh, let it come, with fife and drum,
The Fourth we used to know!
DO YOU remember how we rose
Long ere the break of day
And hurriodly slipped on our clothes
And made Il dash away
TO where the bells and cannons We're,
Where smoke was hanging low?
All, yes, Il morn of freedom born,
The Fourth we used to know!
DO you remember too, the flag
Above the village square?
How proud and glorious we felt
To see it waving there!
DO YOU recall the stirring speech
Which set our hearts aglow,
The grand parade, the games we play
ed,
The Fourth we used to know?
The Fourth we used to know! Oh
where
Has the old spirit fled?
We still are brave; cannot think

Note From the Record OF Congress-
1t was a curious stroke of HOrtunc
that led to the humiliation of tie Brit
iSh arms on July i, 1TJl, with Colonel
George Washington in command of the
i'll starred expedition. Although q boy
in years, Washington had discovered
and reported to the governor of the col
ony of Virginia the plans and prcpara-
tions of the French for the seizure
of strategic positions south of the
lakes. He helped to raise troops to
check the French and, through the
death of the colonel appointed to lead
them, arose to the chief command.
Meanwhile tie British post on the site
of pittSburg had fallen into the hands
of the French. and the young colonial
lOyaliSt set out with 100 men to rctakc
it. Failing to unite with a force ap-

NOTES ON THE DECLARATION.

Some, at least, if not all, of the pa
triots who took part in the work of
congress in 17TG and knew that they
We're making history expected that Ju-
ly >, and not July /, would be rccog-
niZcd aS the birthday of American lib
crty. The Virginia delegates entered
congress under instructions to propose
declaration of the independence of
the colonies, and in June Thomas JEFF
ferSon was appointed by congress chair
man of Il committee to draft Il dCclara-
ton, The spirit of this declaration was,
however, anticipated by Richard Hen
ry Lees famous resolution.
Ii was July >. ING, that the Lee res
Olutiou was passed that the united
colonies We're, and of right ought to be,
free and independent states. On July
i, after two days debate. the Dcclara-
tiOn Of Independence was read and
agreed to, but not signed. On the fol-
lowing day copies were sent out
through all the colonies. on the 10Th
of July il was resolved that the Dccla-
ration passed on the 4th be fairly en-
every member. On the ID of August
the Declaration was signed by the ma
jority. But not until the 4th of Sep
temhcr of the same year did the Hon.
Matthew Thornton sign it. There were
! number Of others who did not afliX
their SIGNATURES until 1871, among them
the Hon. Thomas McKcan.
Although the popular belief that the
Declaration was signed on July is up
held explicitly by John Adams, Thorn
rs Jefferson ana the printed journal of
the Continental congress, yet no candid
inquirer who examines the evidence to
diSprovc the date can doubt that Ad-
ANS and Jefferson, though both present
ut the session. and the printed journal,
though il bears the authenticity of the
official sanction, were gricvously at
fault.
