A bill has been introduced in con-

manding general and to create that of
chief of staff instead. The friction
between Gen. Miles and the war de-

The new provision would make the
army more directly subject to the Sec
retary of war. Such measure should
receive careful consideration. An

with the foremost.
Then the northern colonel set the
fuse and the southern colonel shouted,

they raced toward the earthworks for

around his head and shouted: "Now,

The mighty cheer swelled from hun

settled over ''The Plain of Death" The

caused the retreat of CORVALLIS to
Yorktown, which he and his army new
er left except as prisoners to Washing
ton and the gallant allies.
Rochambeau was with Washington
all through the brilliant campaign
which deceived Clinton, at New York,
and enabled the allies to make a hasty
march to Yorktown. With the French
contingent Washington made a feint
to attack New York from New Jersey,
but instead slipped away to Virginia,
>hemming in CORVALLIS on the north as
Lafayette, with the help of French
force brought by Count de Saint-Simon
in the ships of De Grasse, had done
on the south. In the fighting at York
town Rochambeau and Saint-Simon
led the French.
Baron Steuben was a Prussian of
the land of Frederick the Great, who
was a great admirer of Washington.
He did not call himself a German in
The Teutons in the service of King
George during the revolution were the
subjects of the Prince of Hesse-Cas-
sci and had been hired out at so much
per head to fight wherever ordered.
After fighting CALAMITY in the wars of
Frederick the Great, Steuben was re-
tired upon a princely income from the
realm. He was a splendid military
disciplinariap, and while visiting Paris
in 1777 the French secretary of war en-
listed his sympathies with the Ameri-
can patriots. He offered his services to
congress in 177S, saying that he had
given up an honorable title and lucra-
tive rank at home and desired to serve
in the defense of human rights and
liberties as a volunteer without reward
in riches or honor. If his labors were
satisfactory and the Revolution sue
cess, he asked that the government re-
fund the income he had sacrificed and
compensate him for his services. He
remained to the end of the war the
drillmaster and inspector of the Amer
lean army.
OF the two Polish allies, Kosciusko
and Pulaski, Kosciusko came before
Washington in 1776 as volunteer and
in answer to the question, 'What can
you do?" simply said, ''Try me" Gen
eral Gates, the American commander
at Saratoga, said that the noble Pole
was the best engineer he ever saw, and
the fact that Kosciusko laid out the
lines which baff1ed Burgoyne is evil
dence that the compliment was no idle
one. Kosciusko also planned the de-
lenses of West Point, on the Hudson;
served as one of Washington's adju-
tants, and fought under Nathaniel
Greene in the Carolinas.
Like his compatriot Kosciusko, Count
Casimir Pulaski had fought for free
dom in Poland, and there was a price
on his head when he left France at the
instigation of Ben Franklin, in 1777,
to offer his sword to Washington. Aft
er a brilliant exploit with Washing
toms bodyguard at the battle of Bran
DIVINE he was appointed brigadier
general. His corps of lancers became
famous under the name "Pulaskis le-
gion." After various adventures in the
north Pulaski Joined the army of Lin
coin in the south and finally received a
mortal wound while commanding the
American cavalry at Savannah.

now reckoning to us with
open hands to lay aside the imple
ments of toll and join with her in cele-
brating the nations birthday. She
beckons to us with open hands because
she is not absolutely certain whether
she will have any hands to beckon
with after July 4 or not. That is one
great thing about the glorious Fourth.
When a man begins lodging skyrock-
cts and cannon crackers, be does not
know whether he is going to fight fire
only few hours or if that kind of eX-
ercise is to continue through eternity
or even longer.
1t is meet however, that annually
we should take cannon firecrackers
and our lives in our hands and help in
doing more or less thunderous honor
to the brave mortals who have died
for their country. There are many
such martyrs ON the altar of liberty.
One will find long lists of them in the
newspapers of July of each year. 1t
is grand to think Of man splitting a
few handfuls of gunpowder around and
then laying down a cigar stub and his
life together. 1t is magnificent to i'm
agine the sensations of a man sitting
down ON a cannon firecracker when he
doesn't know it is loaded. 1t is sub
lime to picture the valor of the brave
citizens of the country who hold ex-
plosives in their teeth and blast out
their molars. How inspiring to re-
member the thousands who play with
dynamite and torpedoes and perish
gloriously for the republic!
China is not looked upon as a great
| world power. In fact the nations look
upon her as sort of easy cinch, and

| get their hands on-and If China sass
es" back they just walk over her
few times, yank her up on her feet, tap
her on her shoulder and say, 'Indemni-
| ty, please"
And yet China, despised as fighter
and priced as good thing, has slain
her thousands-yea, her tens of thou
sands-for she invented the cannon
cracker. She wrapped it up in red and
white tissue paper and sprinkled gold
dust over it until it looked harmless
and innocent and sent it out seeking
whom it could devour and disintegrate.
1t was shipped in shiploads to these
United States, and on each July while

"Nor are YOU"
