Washington National Monument
Association Has Deserved
Well of Country.

nm EVERY birthday Of George Wash

meeting Of a small but distinguished
body has been held in the city Of
Washington. This body is the Wash

the organization which brought about
the construction of the giant shaft
which dominates the landscape in the
federal city.
While the war department has the
care and custody of the Washington
monument, this society has a quasi
public status, exercises a paternal
watchfulness over 1t, possesses the
right to send mail under frank and
stands ready to resist any plan or pro-
posal which seeks to change in any
way the monument or its surround.

John Marshall, that great jurist, was

society in 1888 was undertaken by
representative citizens OF Washington,

pursue their several modes of hunting

Laws designed to preserve the
beauty Of the highways by preventing,
as far as possible, the placing of adver-
tising signs on buildings, trees and
stones along, the highways, are now in
effect in Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts, and New York. The
New York law, which went into effect
recently, makes it a misdemeanor to
place a sign on any tree, stone or
structure within the limits of high
way, or on any private property with
out the consent of the owner. 1t is
also provided that any sign placed in
violation of this law may be removed
and destroyed by anyone, without re-

the top of the shaft below the pyra

able tenants have been decided upon,
the selection of sites is in order, for
the site often decides the style OF

be taken to have them face away from

PLAYED GREAT
HISTORIC PART
Destruction Of Falls House, Of
Revolutionary Fame, Some
thing to Be DepIored
by Patriots.

IF THE British spy Taylor had not
l been captured in the Falls house
the United States of America in all
probability would never have existed
as such. For it was in this house, on
October 10, 1777, that the emissary
sent by General Clinton carrying dis
patches to General Burgoyne was
trapped and searched. On him were
found letters with Instructions as to
how a junction of the British forces
was to be effected with an idea of deal
lag a crushing blow to the hard
pressed American continental army.
1t was in the NFalls house, in those
days known as Woods tavern, that
many famous letters were written by
Major Armstrong, one Of which is a
vivid portrayal OF the condition Of the
continental army, then in sore straits.
1t also was the headquarters of New
York's first governor, Clinton.
Historical societies of Newburg and
surrounding towns agitated for the
preservation of the Falls house. But,
with no available site on which to re-
erect 1t and small funds with which to
put through such a project, 1t had to
be abandoned.
Something of the history associated
with this typical tavern of revolution
ary days is related by William ]. Roe
OF Newburg as follows:
"The autumn of 1777 saw the plight
of Americas arms, endeavoring to as
sert the right of self-government, at
their lowest ebb. From the north Bur-
goyne was advancing, while from New
York Sir Henry Clinton, urged by the
necessity Of effecting a junction with
Burgoyne, had already captured Forts

HOLY SHRINES
OF FREEDOM
Headquarters Occupied by WASH

Country Are to Be
Preserved.

n HROUGH the efforts of the various
: patriotic societies many of the old
houses made famous by Washington
as his headquarters during the war
OF independence, have been preserved
and are now suitably marked for the
information Of posterity. During that
long struggle for freedom Washington
used perhaps a hundred or more
houses for this purpose in various
parts Of the country. Many have dis
appeared under the ravages of time,
but about two score of them have
been saved. 1t was in these houses
that he planned his battles and
strategy; It was in them that indepen.
