the Historian, in
Attack

"Loyalist ministers were driven OUT
Of their churches by troops under Gen
eral Washington, and the soldiers ap-
piled what they got toward meeting
their expenses"
With this statement Secretary Baker
in an interview at Flint, Mich, reiter-
ated his charge against the soldiers OF
the American Revolutionary army,
made a week ago in Jersey City; In
that speech Secretary Baker compared
the Valley Forge forces with the MeXi-
can revolutionists. The reiteration at
Flint follows the complete Reputation
Of the statement by Secretary Baker,
who when questioned in Detroit, de
MED that he had said anything which
could be interpreted as such an &C
cusation.'
Secretary Baker based his attack on
the Revolutionary troops on Flske

any mention Of the historian. Many
who heard the speech were positive
that no such reference was made.
