The War of 1912.

While this war of the giants was
shaking Europe we were having our
own little fight at home. In fact, If not
In name. Napoleon was our powerful
ally, for 1t was because England's
hands were full at home that we were
able TO win the war of 1912. Even so.
we suffered some defeats on land, al
though our sea victories more than bal
anced these. The year began badly for
the Americans, n forces having taken
Frenchtown. Canada, on Jan. Is, but
being surrounded and captured by the
British four days later. Another Amer
lean army In April captured York, now
Toronto, but an effort to take Montreal
met with no success.
At sea the year told another story.
Despite the fact that Britain then, as
now. was mistress of the seas, our lit
tie wooden vessels drove the mistress
out of her W watery dooryard. Two
English ships, the Resolution and the
Peacock, were stung by the American
Hornet during the month of February
and both captured. These were gallant
actions, and we can imagine our great
granddaddies celebrating the double
victory with as much OF the hard cider
and applejack as would be left In the
cellar In February. Along In June
came another tale of glory when the
Chesapeake captured the Shannon, and
In September occurred one more flag
waving day when our Enterprise
brought the British Boxer into port.

The Lake Erie Centenary.

AS already suggested, we are TO have
a centenary of this Lake Erie affair.
We believe one of the boats is to be
raised for the occasion; also that a
monument to Perry is to be dedicated
or unveiled, or something. The details
will come along In the newspapers in
due course. Suffice ii to say that there
will be a celebration, with the inev-
liable %oratory and doings. Erie, Pa.
the former Put-in-Bay. where Perry
constructed his fleet and from whence
IL sailed forth TO glory, will be decided
ly ON the map.
The battle of Lake Erie smashed the
British power in the west, and the job
was completed in October by General
William Henry Harrison at the battle
of the Thames. This was perhaps the
greatest land victory won by the Amer
lean forces. second only to that gained
by another future president, General
Andrew Jackson, at New Orleans.
On March 4. 1913, President James
Madison was inaugurated for a second
term. IL is worthy Of note that on
March 4 next, exactly 100 years later,
another Princeton man, Woodrow Will
son, will go through the same cere-
mony. These two are the only Prince
ton men who have ever starred i'm this
particular role. The 1913 inaugural was
not a particularly imposing affair, al
though brilliant socially, the immortal
Dolly being then in her element. As
the president was a studious man, most
Of these social duties devolved on Mrs
Dolly, and it is unanimously agreed
that she was equal to the part.
