This argument Is straightforward.

East of Providence the advance guard

gangs, Italian roadmakers, workers of
every tongue and race from pits and
quarries. Joined the New England men.
They blew up sunken road through
which artillery was numbering. They
blasted away a steep bank and buried
a troop of cavalry. They blew up a
mined road in front of infantry, and
when it retreated. sprang a second
mine under the soldiers feet that ex-
terminated a battalion.
Railroads and roads were blown up
before advancing troops and behind
them Men blew up bridges and pre-
vented their own escape SO that the
armed forces caught them as in trap
and slaughtered them at leisure. Via
ducts and works were dynamited that
never could have been of any use to
the enemy. 1t was formless. systemless
destruction-but in that very lack of
system lay it's danger to the enemy
forces.
Had all the men in New England who
were engaged In this wild fighting been
gathered in one body. the trained dis
ciplined soldiers could have disposed of
them in an action SO simple that they
might scarcely have named 1t a skir-
mish. But this was like forest fire
that, stamped out in one spot. breaks
into roaring flame in another AS it
sweeps from tree tops to tree tops and
creeps underground. and flames out in
quick fury miles away. SO the war-f1re
raved through Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, to be crushed out only in de-
tail with detailed. bitter work through
all that long. hot, dusty day.
1t was serious. This uprising of an
undiscipiined population could not de-
feat. or even damage seriously. the
great army But it could hamper it,
1t would force a wide scattering of
troops to break down the sporadic OPP
position. 1t would make a dangerous
country-dangerousi In front Of the ad-
vancine soldiers. dangerous in their
rear. continually dangerous around
them.
In that sense 1t was more serious than
deliberate, military opposition by the
American army would have been. Had
tho enemy commander faced only a de-
Tending army, it would have been a
quiet. technical matter of advance
guards against advance guards These
