BOY SCOUTS IN SCRIMMAGE
Refight Battle of Hackensack
on Colonel abriskie Estate.

Hackensack n. j., April 26.--Nct since
the time George Washington marched his
tired and tattered army of faithful sol
diers down Main street, giving Hacken-
sack the historical distinction it is proud
of, has this old town seen duplicate Of
that event until to-day, when fifteen hun
dred tired and weary youngsters of the
American Boy Scouts marched down Main
street after what Is now hstory-the bat
tie of Zabriskie's Hill. OF course. these
Boy Scouts had many advantages over
the Continentals of the days of l115 and
1776, since they carried their own lunches
and after the battle was over marched
TO the Hudson River trolley cars that
conveyed them back TO New York.
The scene of the manpuvres was the
big estate of Lieutenant Colonel Andrew
c. Zabriskie, instructor general Of the
American Boy Scouts. There are wooded
lands and open fields and running
streams of fine water. and the hill where
the Reds took their position and remained
unmoved made an ideal spot. The best
part OF the battle was the dash up the
hill after the contest was over. but this
was for the benefit of the moving picture
man.
Adjutant General Willis j. Physioc was
the chief official, while Colonel Zabriskie
acted as chief scout. They decided in
favor of the Reds. 1t was said that the
thanking party of the Whites was easily
dscoye cred and routed. and that the main
force in It's attempt TO ascend the hill
would have been annhilated.

from neighboring towns and cities. Many
youngsters stopped and drank water from
one of the streams after being told that
Washington and his men drank from the
same pool when they retreated from Fort
Lee and came to Hackensack.
