Then they hurried to the second en-
trenchment with the same result, and
the battle was won. They are much

the critics of European soldiery who

the Allies. They are absolutely fear

Dislike Cavalry.
They are all infantrymen and have
antipathy for the cavalry as they
have no use for the man who calls
upon a horse to aid him in warfare.
The term Gurkha is now applied to
the majority of the inhabitants of the
Kingdom of Nepal. In the early days
of the enlistment of the Gurkhas only
Monaghan tribes were taken, and
those chiefly from Central Nepal, but
as the demand for men increased re-
cruits were taken from the tribes OF
Eastern Nepal. Their language Is
what is known as khas- khura. which
is somewhat similar to Hindu and is
derived from the Sanskrit.

derrate the influence of some of the
churches in New England at that time.
The Pohick Church, hidden away as
1t Is and a small thing to look upon,
is a heritage which all Americans
should think of reverently, for to look
upon the old walls recalls the struggle
of the national fathers and stimulates
patriotic sentiment.
Where Church Gets Name.
The historic church takes its name
from a little water course which rip
Piles and struggles through the near
by country. AS might be readily
guessed. it Is one Of the old Indian
names: or at least the sSrly white
settlers in the neighbornood found
the Indians calling the stream by a
name which sounded to their ears
very much like "Pohick." The his
tory of the church goes back to the
year of the birth of George Wash
ineton-1732.

time to plan a new Pohck Church.
He loved his church and its people.
He did not confne himself to being
great American patriot, statesman
and a soldier; he found time for his
religion. one of the numerous out
standing facts to show that he was n
versatile man is clearly brought out in
sketched and filled in the plans and
specifications for the new Pohick
Church. These plans were closely ad-
hered to, and the old building was
built over-practically made into n
new edifce according to the plans
drawn by the Father of His Coun-
try.
The long and honorable life of
Pohick Church is interviewer with the
history of Virginia, the American
Colonies and the United States. An
other of the master spirits of the
American revolution who worshiped
there was George Mason, one Of the
founders of the Republic, In the
venerable church sat representatives
of the Fairfax family, and 1t would
seem no eXaggeration to say that the

After Great Britain's declaration Of

gregation took possession of the new
building. and containing items rela-
tive TO the construction of the build
ing was found in the archives of the
New York Historical Society and re-
turned by that society to the congre-
cation of Pohick Church.
There is one bit Of paper connected
with the church for which close in
0uiry has been made by number az
the descendants of the early parish
toner's. That is the map which George
Washington made, showing the dwell
ing places of the members. Nearly
all of the homes of the parshioners
of 1865 have been obliterated and the
sites of the houses forgotten.
Pastor OF Pohick.
The first pastor of Pohick, as far
as known. was the Rev. Charles
Green. This information came to light
through an investigation conducted re-
Gently. Rev. Green, however, was
probably not the first pastor, because
he filed, in addition to his holy office
that of family physician to the Wash
ingtons at Mt Vernon just before DIR
Craik, of Alexandria, Virginia, came
to hold that relation. Rev. Greer
was pastor at Pohick in 1865, and haG
been for a number of years.
Pohick Church fell into hard lines
between 1855 and 1895, because sc
many of the families that had attend

of these orderlies attached to LORD
Roberts and he makes special com
ment on the faithful attention of these
men.
This is all the more remarkable
from the fact that England had two
wars with the Sikhs during the con-
quest of India. The first occurred in
1Si5 when an army Of them composed
of sixty thousand we'll drilled troops
and moro than one hundred guns in
vested the British garrison in Ferozc-
pore. There was a two days battle
about this place in which although
the Sikhs were worstcd they gave tho
English a hand to nand hght long T."
be remembered In 1916 the English
had another battle with the Silks.
This was fought at Aliwal. and tn
men of India again showed remark
able fighting qualities.
The final battle in Great Britain's
first war with tho Sikhs occurred on
/ February ION. 1876, at .iobraon, when
the British Lancers charged the crack
Sikh brigadc The latter threw down
their rifles as not suiting their mettlo
and advanced sword and shield in
hand after the manner of the ancient
warriors Many of the Sikhs rushed
forth and singled out an English man
for special combat. They were grad
uallv forced back by the British and
lost more than ten thousand killed
wounded and drowned in the Suite
River. Even then they were not CON
