~ the morning of the 5th of March
the British saw workmen and ord
~ nance and every sign of a strong
force of provincials on Dorchester
heights, and were as surprised as they
had been, close upon a year before. to
see men and trenches on Bunker Hill.
W shington had done work in the
night which 1t was already too late for
them to undo; a storm beat the waters
of the bay as the day wore on and made
1t impossible to pat troops across to the
attack in boats; Washington had all the
day and another night in which to COM
plete his defenses: and by the morning
of the 9Th the British knew that the
heights could not be taken without a
risk and loss they could not afford.
The town was rendered untenable at q
stroke.
witt deep chagrin. Howe determined
upon IN immediate evacuation: and by
the 18th he was aboard his ships-eight
thousand troops and more than a thou
sand loyalists who dared not stay.
The stores and cannon. the ammuni-
ton, muskets, small-r ms. gun carriages
and supplies of every kind which he
found himself obliged to leave behind
enriched Washington with an equipment
more abundant than he could ever have
hoped to see in his economical flap
pointed camp at Cambridge.
The only British army in America had
withdrawn to Halifax: his maJesty's
troops had nowhere a foothold In the
colonies.
But that. every one knew. was only
the first act IN a struggle which must
grow vastly greater and more tragical
before it was ended.
Washington knew very we'll that there
was now no drawing back. Not since the
affair at Bunker Hill had he deemed 1t
possible to draw back: and now this in
itial success in arms had made the
friends of revolution very bold every
where.

Mayor William Hale Thompson. of Chicago
announces: 81 will be candidate for the Presi-
dcncy OF the United States in 1916 if the younger
element OF the Republican party wills it. The Re
publican party will come back in 1916. The young
or blood OF the country is demanding plain, prac-
teal dealings our national affairs. That is how
it happened that l honored by being the chief
executive OF the great city of Chicago" Young
Mayor Thompson evidently not only hates him
self but is long on nerve. The younger element
Of the Republican party will probably tell him to

The people of the United States have spent
many millions in benevolent undertakings in the
Philippines, Cuba and Mexico. but the Hon. John
Wanamaker is surely bit hasty in advocating
the borrowing by this nation of SIoo,oooooo,o 900
with which to purchase Belgium from Germany
and restore it TO its people. In the first place it
may not be necessary to buy back from Germany
what belongs TO the Belgians, and besides what
acceptable assurance could Germany give that she
would not promptly seize Belgium again at the first
opportunity. Mr. Wanamaker probably did not
expect to be taken seriously and he will not be
disappointed.

A Long Island clergyman in various DISCUSSES
including false beard and moustache has been
making nocturnal tours of the village of Bayonne
securing evidence against proprieors of cafes and
road houses. By threats to preach sermon
against them he has made them all mend their
ways. That this peaceful method proved effective
with the mild hammered neighbors of the great
metropolis is not surprising but of course it
would never work in turbulent Washington, where
the dangerous and desperate characters who fire.
quent the cafes have to be rounded up by raidng
forces OF intrepid policemen and bundled into

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.


AS spring warmed into summer II wa.
easy to mark the growth in the spirit oil
independence.
One of the first measures of the Cont
mental Congress. after coming together
for its third annual session In May. 1776
was to urge the several colonies to pro-
vide themselves with regular and per.
manent governments as independent
states. instead Of continuing to make
shift with committees of safety for ex.
ecutives and provisional provincial con-
crosses" for legislatures. as they had
done since their government under the
crown had fallen to pieces: and they
most of them promptly showed a oispo-
sition to take its advice
The resolution in which the Congress
embodied this significant counsel plainly
declared that the exercise of every kind
of authority under the crown ought to
be totally suppressed" and all the pow
thority from the people of the colonies
words themselves equivalent to a dec
laration for entire separation from Great
Britain.
Even in the colonies where loyalists
mustered strongest the government of the
crown had in fact almost everywhere
been openly thrown off.
But by midsummer it was deemed best
to make a formal Declaration of Inde-
pendence.
North Carolina was the first to in
struct her delegates to take that final
and irretrievable step; but most of the
other colonies were ready to follow her
lead: and on July 4th Congress adopted
the impressive Declaration which Mr.
Jefferson had drawn up in the name OF
its committee.
