Prescott's Gallant Act.

Not an unnecessary sound was made
during the long hours Of the night Of
June 16, 1775, and when dawn came in
trenchments six feet high along the
side of the hill were disclosed. In the
face of the fire from the enemy ships

Americans kept steadily at work COM

had sent for re-enforcements early IN
the day, and John Stark, with his New
Hampshire company, had courageously
crossed Charlestown Neck under Sc
we're fire from the enemy. But the haz-
ard of the attempt deferred other COM
manders from bringing troops to the
support Of the brave Prescott.
With ammunition almost exhausted
and troops tired cut from the strain TO
which they had been subjected, Pres
colt realized the futility of holding his
position in the face Of repeated at
tacks by the reformed and re-9.2fHrced
British lines. Nevertheless he deter
mined again to measure his strength
with the adversary; and, with a COM
mand to his men to make every shot
tell, he awaited the advance OF the
British. Again the latter were per-
mitted to advance within twenty yards
of the American works before they
were fired upon. The British line was
broken, but still it advanced. With
their powder now quite exhausted, the
Americans met their opponents with
dubbed muskets and bayonets.
The odds were too great and Pres
colt ordered his men to retreat. It
was in doing this that the Americans
suffered their heaviest loss; among
others who fell was Warren, one Of
the most cherished of the popular lead
erS.

Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smiled;
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain,
Now beheld the soul of freedom
All unconquered rise again.

He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway;
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper Of the bell.

Very happy news to tell.
Seei see! the dense crowd quivers
Through all its lengthy line.

Breaks his young voice on the air.

And straightway, az the signal,
The old bellrlan lifts his hand,
And sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the ole bell shook the air,
Till the cIang Of freedom rusded
The calm gliding Delaware!
How the bonlres arad the torches
Illumed the nights repose,
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair liberty arose!

What tne Victory Meant.

June II is e second Fourth Of July.
What tne Victory Meant.
A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,
who fought so we'll for King George
that he rose to be a full general in the
British army, regarded Bunker Hill as
a transaction which controlled every
thing that followed. "You could not"
he would say to his friends on the 9TH
er side, "have succeeded without it,
ssThe rebels" Gage wrote week af-
ter the battle, ''are shown not to be the
disorderly rabble too many have sup
posed. In all their wars against the
French they have showed no such con-
duct and perseverance as they do now.
They do NOT see that they have ex-
changed liberty for tyranny. No peo-
pie We're ever governed more absolute
ly than the American provinces now
are; and no reason can be given for
their submission but that it is ty-
ranny which they have erected them
selves"
Bunker Hill exhibited the Americans
to all the world as a people to be
courted by allies and counted with by
foes. 1t was a marvel that so many
armed citizens had been got together
so quickly and still greater marvel
that they had stayed together so long.
Move Forced on British.
After the engagement at Lexington
on April 10 the British force under
General Gage was increased to 10000
men by the arrival Of Generals Howe,
Clinton, and Burgoyne with their COM
mands from England. These occupied
the town OF Boston on q peninsula ex-
tending into the harbor. The naval
forces consisted Of the Falcon, Lively,
Somerset, Symmetry, Glasgow, and
four floating batteries. Across the
Charles river, at Cambridge, and On
the surroUndirc hills, were encamped
between 1900 and 10000 undisci-
plined Americans. The British, thus cut
off from communication with the main

There was tun1ult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood On tj:eir temples,
With the ea,Gestness OF speech.

Lash the wild Newfoundland shore.

Americans, constituting the silence on
the hilltop as timidity. They changed
their attitude on this point when they
arrived within a few hundred feet OF
the redoubt. The Americans had been
silent, but they had been ordered to
refrain from firing until the command
was given. Thus it was the British,
advancing over the open stretch OF

weight of their knapsacks, heard the
word "Fire!" at the moment of their
supreme confidence, and recoiled before

HARDEST FIGHT
OF WAR IN ST.
QUENTIN SECTOR
Americans Along This Front
Fight Hand to Hand With
Germans Many Times.

With the American Army in the st.
Quentin Sector, Wednesday, Oct. g.
(By The Associated Press )-Ameri-
can regiments fighting in the Hin
denburg line along this sector of the
front have seen some of the hardest
fighting of the war. 1t was a furious,
desperate struggle into which they
plunged. They fought day and night
in groups and single handed. in and
out Of shell holes. They showed gal
lantry, self-sacriice and devotion to
duty unsurpassed by any other troops.
From the instant they leaped from
their trenches they ran into snipers
and hordes of machine guns Ger
mar infantrymen, spurred on by their
officers, stood up before them offer
ing hand-to-hand combat.
Some Of the stories of the men who
fought tell of the terrific. nature Of
the struggle. One Brooklyn regiment
took and retook a position known as
the knoll three times. The battle
swung back and forth with the men
90 close to each other that rifle butts
were just as effective as anything
else.
On the first assault the Americans
rushed forward and suddenly met
masses of machine guns which were
camouf1aged and held their fire until
the Americans were close on them.
The Americans went right on and
were on top of the guns before they
began firing. The Germans did not
continue their. murderous work long.
A dash, a leap. a flash Of a bayonet
and a stab Of flame from a rifle and
one nest after another was silenced
and the Americans plunged on.

ROLL CALL TO
Be TAKEN FOR
THE RED CROSS
AS Close Of Christmas Cam.
paign ~, ooo,o 900 Ameri-
cans Will be Members.

San Francisco. Oct. "a Christmas
roll call Of the whole American people
for membership in the American Red
Cross will be taken during the week
Of December 16 to %.
There will be no quotas fixed for
the new call, according to Henry p.
Dawson, chairman of the war council,
American Red Cross, who telegraphed
the following message to A. B. G.
Dohrman, acting manager Of the Pa
cific division:
1.-THE American Red Cross wants
again to give the world notice not only
that America can fight, but that to the
last man, woman and child we stand
for mercy, honor and good faith
among nations.
At the close Of the Christmas mem
bership campaign Of 1917 there were
1000, 900 Americans enrolled in the
American Red Cross. There are also
100000 members in the Junior Red
Cross. This year both as a Christmas
observance and as a renewal Of the
American Red Cross will again put be-
fore everyone the duty Of standing by
the flag: for the American Red Cross,
in this great fight for peace, represents
the whole spirit of what we are fight
ing for.
This will not be a call for money.
It will be a summons to Americans
everywhere to line up for the Ameri-
can ideal. We cannot all fight but
this me thing everybody can do. The
American Red Cross membership fee
is $1.00. Half of this remains with
the local chapter to be used for ex-
penses and for relief of our soldiers
and their families; the other half
goes to the national treasury.
There will be no allotment of
quotas to a community. The quota in
every district will be the limit of its
adult population. When the roll call
comes every American, old or young,
will be called on to register and add
the weight of his name to the Red
Cross message. Let is answer with
one voice to the words of President
Wilson when he said, I summon you
to the comradeship'."

r. L. Snowy" Baker, the well
known athlete of Australia who has
taken part in many amateur cham
p~ionships in various countries in the
past and who at present is visiting
California, took the, broad ground
that international competition aided
in mutual understanding between ma
tons and further cemented their
friendship. He considered it would
be unfortunate to put an end to what
always has been an international
courtesy in the past.
The stand taken by those favoring
the measure is that as a national"
championship the title becomes q
misnomer when foreigners are, admit
ted to competition, 1t then becoming
an International event, and, as the
name implies, it should be restricted
to American competition.
