Because of her zeal and loyalty,
Baltimore was singled out as the tar
get for British vengeance. On the
18th of June, 1914, a newspaper
published in London stated:
"The great expedition preparing at
Bordeaux for America is destined for
the Chesapeake direct. Our little
army in Canada will at the same in
slant be directed to make movement
in the direction of the Susquehanna.
Both armies will in all probability
meet at Washington, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore. Our naval and mill
tary commanders have no power to
conclude any armistice or suspension
Of arms. They carry with them cerz
tain papers which will be offered to
the American government at the point
of the bayonet."
After the humiliating sack of
Washington, the British turned with
renewed anger to attack Baltimore,
to which the helpless national govern
ment could offer no resistance.
The British, however, found strong
Notifications to protect the city
against their attack. Gen. Samuel
Smith, heroic revolutionary figure,
with large force, had built fortif
cations over mile in length from the
harbor as far as the present Hopkins
hospital. Behind these were mounted
over 100 cannon, with 10000 troops.
The citizens rallied as one man under
General Smith, and toiled day after
day with pick, shovel, and wheelbar-
low until great armament greeted
the British when, after the Battle OF
North Point, they arrived within
sight of the city and were compelled
to retreat to their ships without sin
gle shot. The Americans were so
eager for the encounter they could
not await their coming. When news
reached General Smith of the anchor
age at North Point of a British fleet
of SO vessels, the most formidable
feet ever seen in American waters,
Gen. Stricker asked leave to advanc:
with a brigade of 5000 men to draw
them on. Those men who landed or
the 18th of September, 1914, were
picked soldiers of Europe, the Duke
of Wellington's Invincibles and Lore
Nelson's Victorious marines, fresh
from Napoleonic wars.
The Americans marched bravely
forward to meet the conquerors OF
Napoleon on the battlefield of Moth
Point. General Ross, believing it in
credible that the new republic should
have men so fearless as to advance
against his British forces, proceeded
to investigate, when he was shot down
by American rihemen, and the COM
mand fell to Colonel Brooke. A
monument today stands for the two
young men in Baltimore who brought
down General Ross. For an hour
and half the raw militia of the
States held in check the veteran army
numbering four times its strength.
The day closed with loss to the Bri-
tish of 500, as against $50 of the
militiamen, only 20 of the latter be-

A MEMORIAL FOR KEY
Selected

~ the band plays "The Star
Spangled Banner;" it is official
ly our national hymn in the navy and
is generally so regarded by the ma
ton. Doubtless most of those who
stand know that it was written by
Francis Scott Key, though very few
know that it is sung to the tune of
"Anacreen in Heaven" How many
know the when, where and how of its
writing?
The citizens of Baltimore staged
an impressive pageant of the CEN
tenary of the Battle of North Point
and Fort McHenry during the week
of September II, 1914. Congress ap-
propriated $4,000 for the erection
of a moument to Key, which was
dedicated this summer with appropri-
ate ceremonies. 1t is therefore timely
to recall the stirring events which led
to the writing of this immortal song.
Representative ]. Charles Einthi-
cum of Maryland in recent speech
in the house reviewed those events
and said, among other things:
This monument now to be dedi-
Gated by the national government to
that immortal poet is but fitting
tribute from the government to my
native state of Maryland for the
heroism, generosity and support of its
people during the troublous times of
1912.
To the strong support of Mary
land, and particularly of its metro
polls, Baltimore, is largely due the
successful termination of that war. |.
was Baltimore man - Minister
Pinckney-who asked for his leave
of England, and was made Attorney
General of the United States, and
wrote the declaration of war.
Maryland gave to the war more
officers, ships, and seamen than any
other state. She supplied 46 officers,
or nearly one-ffth of all the officers,
of the American navy. Virginia sup
piled AZ, which was more than all
New England. Baltimore supplied
81 privateers; Salem, 40; Boston, 81;
and Philadelphia, II; and the state
of Maryland equipped over 100 pri-
vateers in all. 1t is estimated that
the loss to England's commeree' by the
Baltimore privateer captures alone
was over $16,000,000.
1t was Commodore John Rogers
of Baltimore, who commanded the
North Atlantic squadron, and Ste
phen Decatur, Jr., native OF Berlin,
Md, who commanded the South At
lantic squandron. 1t was Commodore
Rogers of Maryland on the flagship
The President who personally fired
the first shot of the war at the British
ship Belvcdira. 1t was Chesapeake
crew, commanding the Constitution,
better known as Old Ironsides, which
captured the first frigate Guerrero.
The merchants of Baltimore loane !
to the national government $3,OOO,-
600, which was later assumed by the
city of Baltimore, and became its frs;
municipal debt. Finding no part of
this fund available for the defense of
the city, Baltimore raised 5000, 600

all in one. You feel as though you
wanted to sing the Doxology and

there are other things. Leyden Street,
winding up from the rock to Burial
Hill, its name testifying to love for
the former things" which expressed
itself in the christening of the first
street in the new home, brings you
in few minutes to the post Office, a
modern structure looking somewhat
like very up-to-date visitor among
company of old-fashioned relatives.
In front of this stands drinking
fountain whose inscription informs
the visitor that the spring which sup
plies the cups was on the merestea
assigned to Elder William Brewster
in the original allotment of land and
has never been known to fail. On it
is the couplet,
Freely drink and quench your thirst.
Here drank the Pilgrim Fathers first"
Opposite the post office and little
back from the main street the first
church of Plymouth stands on the
spot where the Pilgrims first met for
worship under the trees; the present
is the fifth structure to stand on this
siteSs This is memorial church
erected by members of the MayAower
Society from all over the country. A
splendid window over the pulpit,
showing of the compact in the cabin
Of the MayAower, is the gift of the
New York chapter of the society; the
windows on either side of it bear the
words Brooklyn to Plymouth" and
a beautifully carved font is the gift
of the New Jersey chapter. Sunken
in the floor at the end of the main
aisle is piece of stone brought from
the old church in Leyden where the
Pilgrims worshiped before their de-
parture.
Close by the church is the entrance
to Burial Hill, and here, too, one feels
the nearness of those who dared and
died and left an open door for after
generations. To stand by the tomb
of Governor Bradford and read its
significant warning, LET not that
which the Fathers attained at so
great cost be lightly lost" is to dedi-
cate oneself to a nobler citizenship
that the principles of liberty may be
safeguarded. Beyond the burying
ground, at point commanding
splendid sweep of country, is the mon
ument to the forefathers, noble
statue of Faith standing with uplifted
finger, a silent reminder of the foun-
dation on which the Fathers builded.

street, the gray GOODNESS of Pilgrim
Hall, attracts. Here is fPags 8. Col -
