HOW SHIPS. GET LATE MAIL
Airplanee Used to overtake Liners and
Drop Bags While the Vessel Is
Travelling.

Experiments have proved it entirely
practicable to deliver belated transat-
lantic mail TO steamers at sea by air
planes.
The ship may have taken its depar-
ture several hours previously, yet the
flying machine. with a speed Of 100
miles or more an hour. can easily catch
up with it and put the mail aboard.
A plane of the dying boar type is
used for the purpose, and She water
proof mail bag is held in a chute on
the side Of the hull. The aviator flies
over the ship and the rigging en-
tangles long line dropped from the
plane that has grapple tails on its end.
This line is attached to the mail bag,
which, when the grapple tails catch,
Is jerked out of its chute, falling into
the sea
1t is then an easy matter to haul
the mail bag aboard, while the steamer
continues its uninterrupted voyage.

The Philadelphia Fourth of July

tunately we have a short contemporary
account of what took place. The
Pennsylvania Gazette, published week
" by John Dunlap. tells in its issue
Of July ., TIT, of this first of long
line Of Independence day celebrations.
Here is the full account:
Friday, the fourth instant, being
the anniversary of the independence

city with demonstrations of joy aud
festivity.
about noon. all the armed ships
! and galleys in the river were drawn
up before the city. dressed in the gay
est manner, with the colors of the
United States and streamers displayed.
At l o'clock the yards being properly
manned, they began the celebration
of the day by discharge of thirteen
cannon from each of the galleys in
honor OF the thirteen United States.
ain the afternoon an elegant dinner
was prepared for congress, to which
were invited the president and SUI
preme executive council and speaker
Of the assembly Of this state, che gem
eral officers and colonies of the army
and the members of the several CON
tinental boards who We're IN town.
THE Hessian band of music taken
In Trenton the twenty-sixth of De
cember last attended and heightened
the festiyity with some fine perform
ances suited to the joyous occasion,
while corps of British ieserters
taken into the service of the Conti-
nent by the State of Georgia being
drawn up before the door, filled up
the intervals with feux de joie.
after dinner a number of toasts
were drunk, all breathing indepeHd-
ence and genuine love of liberty and
commemorative the memories of those
brave and worthy patriots who gal
lantly exposed their lives and fell glori-
ously in defense of freedom and the
righteous cause OF their country.
zach toast was followed by dis
charge of artillery and small arms
and suitable piece Of music by the
Hessian band. The glorious Fourth

teen rockets on the common. and the
city was beautifully Illuminated.
Everything was conducted with the
greatest order and decorum and the
face Of Joy and gladness was uni

all ready TO vote on 1t. June 10. con-
gress postponed final consideration for
3 weeks. June II, congress appointed
a committee Of five to draw up the
Declaration of Independence Lee
would naturally have been made chair
man, but he had been called home by
the illness of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son of Virginia was made chairman
and his colleagues were John Adams
Of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin
of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of
Connecticut and Robert l.. Livingston
of New York The committee in
structed Jefferson to write out a draft
of the Declaration. Jefferson did so.
The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made a clean copy.
Congress reassembled July /, and the
Lee resolution was passed July 2.
How this action was then regarded Is
shown by John Adams letter to his
Wife, in which he said:
''The second day OF July 1776, will
be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. | am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generation as the great ami
versary festival 1t ought to be com
memorated as the day of deliverence

Almighty, 1t ought to be soIemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, bells, bonfires, and IL
Elimination from one end OF this con-
tinent to the other, from this time

49, independence would De taken
that day. Since the hour of the as
sembly of congress the old bellman
Of the Liberty Bell in Independence
Hall had been In the steeple. He had
placed his little grandson at the door
to give him the word when the am
n0uncement should be made. As hour
after hour passed by and no announce
ment came the old man shook his head
and said sadly, "They viii never do
It,"
Suddenly a shout came up from be-
low and there stood the little blue
eyed lad cIapping his hands for joy
and shouting, 'Ring, grandfather,
ringl''
SO the old grandsire swung the big
iron tongue and the Liberty Bell,
changing 100 times, sent Its brazen
notes throughout the land proclaiming
that the United Colonies were and of
right ought To be free and inedepend-
ent and there was tumuit of re-
jOlcing in the city.
This in effect is the first Fourth of
JIly, as many an American schoolboy
has been taught It. It reads well and
there is thrill In 1t. But 1t has one
large fault-it Isn't true. AS matter
of fact there wasn't any real Fourth
of July Celebration" at all In 1T76.
There couldn't be, for the reason that
the Declaration of Independence was
a continuing operation that lasted
pretty much the whole summer Of
that year. Incidentally Its culmina-
tlon was July 2, instead of July H.
Moreover, it was not untll 17T7 that
July was fixed upon as 'the day we
celebrate" And it was In 1777 in
Philadelphia that the first Fourth of
July celebration was held.
To get the history of the Declara-
ton of Independence straight, we must
start with the fact that the American
Revolution was not begun for the
achievement of independence. The
American colonists began with the Ia lea
Of securing the right guaranteed them
as Englishmen by Magma Charta, the
Ism of Rights, and their own charters.
,rhe Idea of separation and independ-
enee was an afterthought and an out
growth of the hostilities faced by the
british at Lexington and Concord.
The historic declaration 0f the clti-
zsns of Mecklenburg county. North
Carolina, in May, ITS. was one OF the
earliest manifestations of the trend OF
Public opinion. In January of 1916,
Thomas Paine's pamphlet Common
Sense" appeared and gave the move
menr a tremendous impetus. June Z,
1T76, Richard Henry Lee, under In
structions from Virginia, presented to
the continental congress his famous
resolution which reads:
Resolved, That these Unieed Colo
Mes are and of right ought to 'be, free
and independent states; that they are
dissolved from all allegiance to the
British Crown. and that all political
connection between them and the
state Of Great Britain is and ought
10 be totally dissolved;
"That It is expedlent forthwith 20

THAT plan of confederation be

ton and onprohation'
Here, in fact, was the Declaration
of independence in a nutshell, June

She said she had not read in the newspapers anything con- corning the bigamist who has been arrested at Los Angeles and who may be Jack Hilton.
 Two names have been given by the man under arrest at Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Examiner telegram to the Log Cabin Democrat says the accused bigamist gave his name as Charles Newton Harve. Associated Press dispatches to the Arkansas Democrat today carry his name as James R. Huirt. The letter, which the Associated Press says was found from Mrs. Hilton, furnished the clue upon which police are working to es- tablish the identity of the suspect as Jack Hilton.

PASSION PLAY NOT
 TO BE HELD THIS YEAR
(By United Prrssl

1 Oberamergau, Germany, April 27.- It will be impossible to hold the Pas sion Play this year
 Whether it can be held in 1921 is not yet known, but Anton Lang, who plays Christus in this world-famed spectacle, believes it's presentation would go far toWard creation of a new world spirit, a recreation of in- formation reconciliation.
 In statement to the United Press. he declared.
 Unfortunately it is impossible to hold the 1920 Passion Play, partly because of the transportation difficult ties, partly because of the shortage of foodstuffs Yet, I continually have the feeling that no time would adapt itself like the present to holding of the Passion Play as it would tend to reconcile, and unite peoples on a broad-gauged, Christian plane and turn their thoughts to new things. Even if the attendance were not as great as in 1900 and 1910, yet a start would be made toward unison of the peoples which will and must again come.
 Whether it can be held in 1921 is impossible to say in view of the con- ditions of the time. We live here peacefully far from the driving of the big cities; and we feel here that time will heal the wounds of war;
 Incidentally, Lang, first informed through the United Press that Anne rican friends were sending him food, expressed the warmest thanks and ask ed that the United Press bear his "heartiest greetings to all his friends"
 Lang and his family engage in home industry and are now busy. This little community has lost seventy men through the war, and as a re- suit there is labor shortage. Like wise the supply of raw materials and of food is limited.

TO COUNT VETERANS.
tBy Unfrrd --rss,

Richmond, Va, April 27.-Under the provisions of bill passed by the recent general assembly, a complete enumeration of the veterans of the Confederate army and navy now liv- ing in Virginia is to be made during the coming year.
 The bill makes it the duty of the commissioners of revenue of each county or city, at the time of taking lists of property for taxation, to emu merae the living veterans of the Con- federate army or navy in his county or city, obtaining their names, ages and post office addresses.
 Senator Julian Gum, who present. ed the bill, said the enumeration will serve the double purpose of bringing to the attention of the authorities worthy cases of former soldiers who are in needy circumstances, and al the same time enable state pension authorities to check their lists anC strike from them the names of those who are not entitled to receive the pension.
