The dear British are always ready to
receive such movements with open

strongly indorse the emperor's ideas.

Collegiate Gothic type of architecture.
They house a collection of Revolu-

PATRIOT ARMY STARVED.


Washington and his little army OF
some 10000 men-equal only to the
hundredth part of the vast force which
Germany is now putting ON the field
In France-after the unsuccessful bat
tie with the British under Lord Howe
at Germantown, withdrew In discour-
agement to take up winter quarters at
Philadelphia. The British troops,
numbering $4,000, contented them
selves with remaining in the city
throughout the winter, making occa-
sional forays In force through the ur-
rounding country and clearing 1t of
provisions as ~effectually as did Sher-
man in his march through Georgia. AS
a consequence, the Continental troops
suffered unimaginable hardships for
lack of food In the six months from
the middle of December, 1777, until
June 10, 1778, when Lord Howe, relin-
gushing the command of the British
army to Lord CORVALLIS, evacuated
the city and withdrew to New York.
Through the efforts of the state of
Pennsylvania, Valley Forge is now
public property. More than 400 acres
+ included In the park, comprising
Washington's headquarters, most Of
the campground and the remains of
the Revolutionary forts and earth
works. Altogether the state has ap-
propriated more than $350,000 for the
preservation of the campsite. Pleas

Here, in the lonely woods of Val

where Washington knelt upon the

despair that the of liberty should

Thousands Of visitors dc. indeed,

sands more would do SO IL they realized
the pleasure which attends such a trip,
altogether apart from the rich reward
to be gained by seeing with their own
eyes the ground where a handful OF
ragged and starving men. paupers in
everything save their store of indom-
table courage, fought cold and hun
ger-enemies more relentless than
hostile troops-through that terrible
winter of 1777. For now the beautiful
woodlands that line the Schuylkll,
the slopes that enclose the Chester
Valley, are ideal spots for a days
jaunt.
That anyone within Philadelphia
should not make a pilgrimage to Val
