In fact almost annihilating, the militia
under the brothers James and George
Clinton.
George Clinton, gathering the rem
nant of his defeated troops, estab-
lished his quarters at this old Falls
house. To this house, on October 10,
was brought a British prisoner upon
whose person was found message
from the British Clinton to Burgoyne
which. il it had been safely delivered,
might and doubtless would have had
the effect to have delayed Burgoyne's
surrender at Saratoga. giving time for
conjunction of the two British
armies. In fact, similar message was
delivered about a week later. Bur
goyne, with suddenly revived hope,
hesitated, delayed, endeayored to pro
crastinate negotiations.
"But happily it was then too late;
Burgoyne was compelled to surrender;
Saratoga saw the high tide of British
dominion.
'The suffering OF the troops that
winter was most deplorable. It prob
ably was somewhat worse at Valley
Forge (for those very words have be-
come synonymous with patriotic
wretchedness). but then the army,
elated by the victory of Saratoga.
was buoyed up by hope of action
'tOf the mutinous spirit there Mai.
John Armstrong, aide-de-camp on the
staff of General Gates, was the mouth
piece. In letter calmly considered
now, after the lapse of more than a
century. not unworthy of the occasion
and a very MASTERPIECES of influencing
literature-he portrays the condition
OF the army, their hopelessness and
the supineness of the continental con-
gress. His stirring words must, /
think, be recalled by many.
You remember (having reviewed
the wrongs and the just complaints of
the army with what burst of right
eous indignation Armstrong ends his
forceful address:
Can you consent to wade through
the vile mire of dependency and owe
the miserable remnant At that life to
charity. which has hitherto been spent
In honor? If you can, go and carry
with you the jest of Tories and the
scorn of Wings; the ridicule and. what
is worse. the pity of the world! Go
starye and be forgotten!'
THE mutiny was Quelled. harmony
restored. equity established in the tenn
pie: the letter of Armstrong was
penned at the Falls house. RACED to
make way for the march of progress. :.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
. strange maiady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady in some respects resembles
yellow jaundice. and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane DOPE" or to inhaling its
Odor
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated. but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair. the precise
nature Of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite Of close ex-
animation and,analysis; and, of course,

Washington had many houses in

than the building now known as the
