Hesslan Colonel Killed.

While the officers drank and sang
Washngton's men had fought their
way into the outskirts OF the town.
The British cannon was captured and
trained down the streets on their
former owners. The sound of firing
brought realization of the danger to
Colonel Rail and he rushed from the
Hunt house to form his men. He was
brave man, but he had stayed too
long at his merrymaking. More than
thousand Hesslans had surrendered
already. Colonel Rail rallied some
men and made show of resistance.
Almost the first fire wounded him NOR
tally.
When the Hesslans saw their
commander fall, some of them started
to retreat toward Princeton. But
Washington sent a detachment to head
them Off and they soon surrendered.
Long before noon the Americans
were In possession of the entire city
and the British and Hessian prisoners
were being transported across the river
for safe-keeping. Washington sent
couriers to congress with the joyful
news. 1t spread qrickly over the coun'
try and enthused the cause Of liberty
so well that Washington was able to
hold his army together and face the
British in the spring with determine
ton and courage.

proving the big campaign to assist in
inSuring sufficient food supply for
the United States and her allies.
Mr.. Galloway says. Let every
BOY Scout do his best. In the language
of the president, let him consider him
self n soldier OF the commlssary."
With the aid Of Mr. II. c. Benson,
detailed by the department Of agricul-
ture; Mr.. Hal b. Fullerton of the
Long Island railroad, known as the
chief grub scout, and the help and en-
enlargement of thousands of other
men in the United States, great strides
have been made in the campaign to
increase the 1917 crop.
In various parts of the country Boy
Scouts, In addition TO taking part In
planting, participated In activities to
arouse public interest and thought as
TO the seriousness of the situation. In
many places monster parades and DEM
onstratiOns have taken place, the
scouts carrying hoes, rakes and other
garden implements and displaying APP
propriately worded placards.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, when asked
for an expression of opinion regarding
the drive which the Boy Scouts OF
America are making to increase bean
production, wrote: "My dear Mr..
West: l cordially indorse what Mr..
Hoover has said about the scouts. We
should eliminate all waste and stimu-
late food production at every point.
think Mr. Hoover's suggestion that the
scouts should take as their own prov
ince the stimulation of bean produc-
ton is particularly good. Let each
scout start a garden and thereby help
feed the soldiers
AS an instance q the readiness of
scouts to respond 70 such a call II Is
reported that within forty minutes aft
er orders for their mobilization were
issued, 200 Boy Scouts from Albany,
". Y, and vicinity, many of whom
were called from their dinner tables,
assembled at the city hall and were
formally offered TO the city.
1t is expected that many of the va
cant lots throughout tie city which
have been offered by patriotic citizens
will be worked by the scouts. The
scouts have already formed summer
agricultural camps to aid In the har-
vests.

Left Trail Of Blood.

WaShngtonS plan was TO cross the
river Christmas night with a body Of
picked troops a time when he thought
the German commander. Colonel Rail,
and his officers and men would be
carousing He assembled the attack
ing force quietly on his side OF the
river.
Some Of the troops Washington had
ordered 10 Join him failed to arrive at
the crossing point in time. But de-
spite that disappointment Washington
pushed on He determined to make
the attack with the column he had ac-
companied WaShington'S troops were
SO poorly clad on the march that day
that a courier from General Gates in
Philadelphia was able to trail Wash
lngton's force by bloody footprints in
the snow When men key their cour-
age to that point nothing can stop
them.

advance and Charged"

General Sullivan became somewhat
dubious about the outcome while on
the march and sent messenger to
Washington to ask what should be
done. Advance and charge" was
WnShngton'S succinct reply. Washing
ton said in his report the next day that
he might have reiterated al this time
had he thought he could have crossed
the river without being discovered by
the British.
1t was nearly eight o'clock before
the American advance met the first
British outposts. The latter were at
tackled quickly and driven back on
the town without trouble. A rattle Of
musketry from the outposts announced
the beginning of the battle. Wayne
Whlpple says IN his life Of Washing
ton that the Americans were so mad
that morning that they would have at
tackled the British with broomsticks.
Washington's surmlSe about Colonel
Rail- and his officers was correct. They
had spent the night at the home of
Abraham Hunt. drinking and making
merry Hunt had furnished them an
elaborate Christmas supper. While the
supper was in progress, late that night
negro servant entered the room and
gave Colonel Rail- a note. The latter
thrust 1t in his pocket without looking
at II. II was fortunate for America
that he was too drunk TO act properly,
for that note was from a Tory warn
ing him Of Wnshlngton's approach.

BEANS TO FIGHT BULLETS

In the campaign Of EVERY Scout to
the Boy Scouts Of America and the
agricultural department at Washing
ton fitted and worked together like u
wheel and Its axle--a well-cared-for
wheel, that is, and one working with
out squeak or grodn.
1t was early learned that the eff
cheney Of our fighters now in France
will depend upon constant and sufil-
cient supply Of American food. One
Of the first things our men discovered
was that the continental breakfast"
would not last them until the next
meal. Habits of eating cannot be
changed quickly. Accustomed foods
aye best. And this necessity and this
logic have brought the American bean
to the front as IN aid to the American
soldier.
Mr.. Herbert G. Hoover, chairman Of
the American food committee of the
council of national defense, advises
that there Is Il great shortage Of beans
in Europe and that there is no more
nutritious food upon which the Boy
Scouts can concentrate their efforts.
A delegation of the scouts were
among the first TO greet Mr.. Hoover,
upon his arrival in this country from
his relief work in the battle-racked
countries of Europe, to report the
