Up on the brink Of the high bluffs

was the sound of music and many

be crowded over the Fourth. The
blowing up Of the Golden Hour would
be the event of the day.
All that night strange things hap

But, strange to say, dark forms
lowered around her all night. Under

light.
In the darkest hour before the dawn
the forms vanished and Captain Lem
was left in possession Of the Golden

Colonists Alarmed.
The arrival of such a formidable
force Of the enemy caused the gravest
concern to the colonists. 1t was ru-
m0red that the British would sally
forth from Boston and burn the neigh

that the Americans determined to

should get out Of the city and intrench

Of Boston, the continental position

Not an unnecessary sound was made

side Of the hill were disclosed. In the

WON STRUGGLE
FOR C0L0N|STS
What the Battle Of Bunker
Hill Meant to the Revo-
Iutionary Cause.

A LITTLE before sunset, 143
~ years ago, a few hundred
American troops stacked
their guns, threw Off their
packs, seized their trenchlng tools and
set to work with great spirit. At mid
night Boston was buried in sleep. The
sentrys cry Of "All's wellr could be
heard distinctly from its shores.
At dawn, 143 years ago. the Ameri-
cans at work were seen by the sailors
on board the British ships Of war and
the alarm was given. The captain of
the Lively. the nearest ship, without
waiting for orders, put a spring upon
her cable and, bringing her guns to
bear, opened fire upon the hill. One
man, among number who had in
cautiously ventured outside, was kill
ed. A subaltern reported his death to
Colonel Prescott and asked what was
to be done. BURY him.. was the re-
ply.
1t was the first fatality In the battle
Of Bunker Hill. one of the most mo-
mentous conflicts in our Revolutionary
history. 1t was the first regular bat
tie between the British and the Ameri-
cans and most eventual In its conse-
quences. The British had ridiculed
them as dastardly and inefficient; yet
here the best British troops, led on by
experienced officers, were repeatedly
repulsed by an inferior force of that
enemy-mere yeomanry-from works
thrown up In single night, and suf-
fered loss rarely paralleled in battle
with the most veteran soldiers. Ac-
cOrding to their own returns their
killed and wounded, out Of detach-
ment Of 1000 men, amounted to 1854
and large proportion of them Off
GERS. The loss of the Americans was
All, out Of 1900 men engaged. SO the
number Of casualties In this battle
was more than 80 per cent of the num-
Der in action, thus placing 1t among
the bloodiest battles known to history.
At Waterloo the British loss was less
than "a per cent. No wonder that
June IL Is to Boston a second Fourth
Of July.
Battle Meant Everything.
A gallant loyalist of Massachusetts,,
who fought so well for King George
that he rose to be 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
other side, "have succeeded without
it." o
Bunker Hill exhibited the Ameri-
cans to all the world as a people to
be courted by allies and counted with
by foes. 1t was marvel that so many
armed citizens had been got together
50 quickly and still greater marvel
that they had stayed together so long.

A light on the production situation
Tor 1920 insofar as 1t concerns Cadil-
