independence Day

Resolved, That these United Col
onies arc and of right ought to be
free and independent states; that
they absolved from all allegiance
to the British crown, and that all
political connection between them
and the state of Great Britain is
and ought to be totally dissolved:
That it is expedient forthwith to
take the most effectual measures
for forming foreign alleeiances:
That a plan of confederation be
prepared and transmitted to the re-
spective colonies for their consider
alton and appreciation.
Here, in fact, was the Declaration
of Independence in a nutshell, pro-
posed by one of the most eminent
men of the most influential colony
at that time and promptly second
ed by John Adams of Massachu-
sets. 1t was deemed wise to order
the secretary to omit their names
from the journal The next day
congress went into a committee of
the whole to discuss the resolutions
The delegates from Pennsylvania,
New York and one or two other
colonies objected on the ground that
the middle colonies were not yet
ready for so radical step. although

attitude
Unanimous action by all the col
onies on so mOmentOus a question
was regarded by congress as of par
amount importance. Some of the
delegates had not been instructed
to 60 so far as voting for independ-
ence. New York and New Jersey be-
ing emong them. The majority had
been authorized to take any action
that might be deemed wise, Vir-
einia having gone so far as actual
ly to instruct her delegates to pro-
pose declaration of independence
to congress, and Richard Henry Lee
was simply obeying the legislative
voice of his colony when he pre-
sented his resolutions.
June 10 congress postponed final
consideration for three weeks, ana
on the following day appointed a
committee of Eve to draw up the
declaration. Richard Henry Lee, as
the proposer of the plan, would
surely have been on the committee

stirring picture of the eagerness
with which the citizens awaited
definite news of the most important
act which the colonists had been
called upon to decide in the long
chain of disputes with the mother
country. On the following day when
the formal vote of congress was
taken. the resolutions were approx

New York. The original colonies
therefore, therefore, became the
United States of America of Amer

days were spent in discussing the

by Jefferson. The debate was ami

ingly few changes, q tribute to the

Pure Water Supplied.

In order to provide pure drinking
water for the men in the trenches
and other sections where perma-
nent waterworks have not been es-
tablished, mobile water trains have
been constructed and are now oper-
ating in France under the jurisdic-
ton of the Army Medical Depart
ment. These trains are miniature
waterworks, which chemically treat,
filter, and sterilize water, making it
fit for consumption. They do every
thing municipal waterworks does
to insure water to the people of a
city.
Chemical treatment and filtra-
tion remove those substances that
make water muddy and discolored.
The filtration process also removes
a certain number of germs. The
removal of the germs is accom-
phshed by applying liquid cholorine,
the agent almost universally used
in the sterilization of water. Chemi
Gals are also added to deceoriuate-
remove excess of chlorine that
gives the water an unpleasant
taste
A number of these publication
units with their attached motor
tank trucks constitute train. Each
unit is mounted on motor truck.
and is a complete filtration plant,
Including laboratory Arriving at a
stream, it sets hose into the water
and then pumps tn water though
pressure tank Before the water
passes through the sand filter it is
chemically treite When the
water is passed out of the truck it
is free from all disease germs The
pure water is pumped into tanks
mounted on trucks wnich carry
the water to tthe soldiers.
Each mobile uni: carries an ex-
pert chemist, b4cteriologist, and
pump man. There is a complete
laboratory in front of the machine
for the testing Of the water. Tests
are made every two hours and Of
tener when it is thought necessary.
The water is lifted into the filter
oy gasoline pump engine, and a
complete supply of extra uipes and
tools are carried so that all repairs
either from accident or shell fire,
can be made on the spot. The trucks
are equipped with electric lights
so that the work can be carried on
at night. Many of the chemists and
psychologists assigned TO the
mobile laboratories were formerly
connected with municipal water
works and filtration plants.

and, possibly. the chairman, had
he not in the meantime been hurr.
edly summoned home by the illness
of his wife. But for that Lee might
have been author of the declaration
inst cad of his younger Virginia col.
lea que, Thomas Jefferson, then out
thirty.three years old.
Jefferson had brought to congress
the reputation for welding facile
pen. and in the balloting for the
committee he received a majority of
votes and became its chairman The
Others were John Adams of Mas
sa chusetts, Benjamin Franklin of
Pennsylvania. Roger Sherman of
Connecticut and Robert R Living
ston New York.
How did Jefferson come to be Sc
lie cted to write the Declaration, the
one American state paper, as has
been said, that has reached to su-
preme distinction in the world
and that seems likely TO last
as long as American civilization
lasts?'
The most interesting account is
given by John Adams, who says
that he and Thomas Jefferson we're
designated by the committee to pre-
pare the rough minutes in a prop.
er form Mr.. jefferson first pro
pOseo that Adams prepare the draft
of the Declaration. Adams declined
giving. as he says in his autobiogra-
ply. the following reasons:
CD That he was Virginian and
| Massachusettensian. (2) That
he was a Southern man and | a
Northern one (3) That l mad been
so obnoA ious for my early and con-
stant zeal in promoting the mess
ure that every draft of mind would
undergo more severe scrutiny and
criticism in congress thfa one of
his composition "a And lastly
and that would he reason enough
if there were no other, had a great
opinion of the elegance of his pen
and none at all of my own. l there
fore insisted that no hesitation
should be made on his part. He
accordingly took the minutes and in
a day or two produced to Inc his
draft.
Jefferson says that the entire
committee urged him to make the
graft He showed it first to Frank
lin and Adams because they were
the two members of whose jude-
ments and amendments wished
most to have the benefit" They
