Echoes of the Americana struggle
for liberty in 1776 have been found
by War Department officials in their
search of the records of Hartford
county in connection with perfecting
title to the Aberdeen proving ground.
A detached document in the clerks
files at Belair, dated 1776, sets forth
the names of Is citizens Of the re-
gion who refused to sign the Hartford
Declaration Of independence, said to
have been the first move in that di-
rection by the American colonists
The reasons given in refusing to sign
present a vivid picture of the per-
turbed state of mind OF the colonists
The document reads:
Benjamin Herbert, Jr., refuses tc
sign through religious principles.
Richard T. Hargrove. refuses tt
sign through religious principles,
William Wilson, son of John, re-
fuses to sign through religious prin-
ciples.
Benjamin Harboard refuses &c
sign through religious principles.
Michael Boser don't sign by reason
he signed before.
Thomas Gilbert don't sign BY
reason he don't chose.
Thomas West don't sign by reason
it is mystery to him.
Philip Cummins don't by reason
he don't understand the matter.
John Ward don't sign by. reasAr
the Congress don't sign and BY
reason he thinks that if the English
gain the day then the congress and
the great people will turn the scale
and say the commonalty of the peo-
pie forced them to stand in oppo.
sition to the English.
John Clark don't sign, by no reason
he can give.
Ephraim Arnold don't sign fol
fear it would fetch him into scrape
Isaac Penrose ,don't sign for rea-
son he don't chose to fight for Lib
erty and never will.
Benjamin Fleetwood refuses tt
sign. He says he will go in vessel;
will not fight by land.
Samuel Gallon says If he should
sign he may fetch on himself that
he cannot go through.
Richard Spencer says he cannot
write nor read and shall not sigr
any papers.

HAS SHOWN ABILITY
Has Demonstrated Her Efficiency In
Professions and Trades Never
Opened to Her Before War.

Woman's sphere Of usefulness will
be limitless. Since the war began
men have had to recognize her ability
to cope successfully with every trying
emergency. She has demonstrated her
efficiency In trades and professions
never before opened to her but no. ;
to remain open for all time. Woman
abroad has won her right to laurels
with which the future promises to
crown her. British parliamentary
leaders have acknowledged that her
work in the war has won for her the
right to vote after the European con-
flict.
Millions of women, nine millions in
Germany alone. are In the economic
ranks Of the belligerent countries Of
Europe. American men are recogniz-
ing in advance the future standing of
the no longer weaker" sex and are
generously offering to help her to a
position at their side. 1t is gratifying
to observe that one school Of COM
merce has agreed to train a hundred
women for business free of charge,
and 1t is safe to assume that other
schools win follow this commendable
example. A tendency among COM
mercial organizations to grant equal
pay for equal work for women who
take the places of men released for
military duty is noticeable thus early
in Americas participation In the war.
