On the 9th, his arrangements for
an overwhelming attack succeeding at

Still mindful OF Bunker Hill, he

Washington Decides to Retreat.
Washington, seeing at once what
Howe intended, and how possible 1t
was. decided to withdraw Immediately,
before fleet should be in the river
and his retreat cut of.
1t was mastery piece of work.
The British commander was as much
astonlshed to see Brooklyn Heights
empty on the morning of August 80
as he had been to see Dorchester
Heights occupied that memorable
morning six months before.
Washington had taken ten thousand
men across that broad river, with all
their stores and arms, in single
night, while small guard kept up a
sharp fire from the breastworks. and
no sound of the retreat reached the
dull ears of the British sentries.

70 restore a majority of these prison

Possibly a great majority OF those
who asked the question knew that
certain religious organizations, vel
fare societies and other charitable
agencies have long asserted that they
actually can, and do. succeed In re-
forming criminals men and women of
the most hardened types; that they re-
store them to their families and see
them become members Of society

be somewhat skept1cal Of such state

No Doubt Of Rescues.
Those who ask the question and de-
man proof are, for the most part
practical, leVelheaded men of affairs.
In order to ascertain whether defin-

been made Of agencies and individuals

One thing that will strike the in
quirer who goes carefully through the
records Is the fact that while hum
dreds of former convicts are today
successful in business undertakings
end in trades, a large proportion seek
not to engage In money making occu~
patton but to go into rescue work
themselves. Missions of every kind,
industrial homes. college settlements,
all forms of social service for the
down and outers," seem to appeal
more powerfully than anything else
to these men who have been down and
out themselves. and who throw them
selves into the work OF reclaimipg
