Some interesting information on this
problem is given by the superintendent
of geological garden. who has made
several experiments. The faculty OF
always falling on the feet Is one which

which category are included all the

But while our armies that year had

enacted by our gallant little navy.

pressed for money and still further
hampered by internal dissensiOns.
The British navy consisted Of LA, 900
men and more than 900 warships.
Against so much OF this vast arma-
ment us might be sent against us the
United States could muster only twelve
good sized war vessels. with total of
300 guns, and some gunbOats.
Already I'm 1911 British emissaries
had stirred up the Indians along the
western frontier against the United
States. Tecumseh. the famous Shaw
nee chief, and his brother, 1.-The Proph-
et," had taken the warpath in Indiana
and Nov. {. 1911. had been routed at
Tippecanoc by General Harrison. gov
ernor of Indiana. in a bloody battle.
An elderly and not especially COM
petent Revolutionary veteran, Henry
Dearborn. was appointed commander
In chief Of the United States forces.
The subordinate generals chosen to
serve under him were also past worthy
Revolutionary relics. Dearborn, ap-
parently forgetting that far greater
American leaders than he had failed
to capture Canada. made that Domin-
ion the object of his first campaigns
attack. General Hull, governor OF
Michigan. had served with credit In
the Revolution. He was placed In
command Of 1000 men and sent across
the Detroit river into Canada, July II.
1912. to begin the invasion. He en-
tered Canada with the object of storm
Ing Fort Maiden, eighteen miles be-
yOnd. But the expedition was a dis
astrGus fzzIe and accomplished moth

Brock. had swept down from Canada
with swarm of regulars and Indians,
had crossed the border. attacked and
captured Macklnaw Jour powerful bar
rier against invasion from the north
wesD on July II and then marched to
Fort Malden's relief Hull retreated
| before him. recrossed the river and
sought safety in the fort at Detroit.
Brock on Aug. 8 followed and demand
ed the surrender of Detroit. The gar
! rison was strong and well provisioned;
but. to the whole nations dismay. Hull
meekly surrendered on Brooks threat
to turn loose his savage allies In mas.
sacre upon the women and children Of
the place. This was the first Of many

in view of bis Revolutionary services
he was later pardoned.
Dearborn after Hull's failure,
planned to invade Canada ut n point
near Niagara. But hundreds Of SOL
diers mutinied, declaring the war was
merely one of defense. refusing to set
| foot across the border. For this vile
act the mutneers were loudly praised
by the peace party. The sons Of the
men who had died at Bunker Hill and
starved at Valley Forge went prac-
tically unpublished. and their example
was a needless setback to our coun-
