the battle of North Point and the re-
tirement of the British 20 their ships.
II was this matchless defense that
saved the nation and checked the pro
posed attack upon Philadelphia and
New York.
Then took place the attack upon the
historical Fort MctIenry; 10 bomb
and-rocket vessels bombarded the fort,
throwing constant shower Of rock
cts and bombs, the later weighing 22O
pounds. Colonel Armisted, In command
of the fort, was unable to reach them
except on one or two occasions when
they came nearer AS the army was
retreating, more severe lombard
ment than before was executed. I'M
der the cover OF darkness, rs last
resort, several rocket vessels and
barges, with 1854 picked men, passed
south Of Fort McBenry and attempted
to land. After passing the fort, they
threw up rockets of rejoicing and to
light landing place. This, however,
was their undoing, and caused Com
modore Rogers "lnvincible crew" at
Fort Covlngton, under Lieutenant New
combe and Barney's hotilla men, I'm.

cock to pour into them pitiless fire,
sinking one barge with all on board
and compelling the rest TO retire. The
enemy retired badly damaged under
the fire from Fort McIIenry and the
Lnzaretto. At n safeA distance they
continued TO lombard Fort McHenry
until morning. The bombardment
lasted for % hours, and they are said
to have thrown 1900 to 1900 great
bombs, 400 of which landed In Fort
McHenry.
DIR. William Beanes, who had en-
countered the displeasure of the Brit
ish at Upper Marlboro, in their march
upon Washington, had been carried Off
In their heer. He was a particularly
close friend Of Francis Scott Key, who
visited the fleet at Baltimore 10 seek
the release of his friend. Having
boarded the Mlnden, one of the ships
of the fleet, the British compelled him
to remain until after the bombardment.
There he was during that memorable
night when Fort McHenry was being
so terribly assaulted. We can we'll
imagine his anxiety as to the fate OF
the fort and the attack to be made
upon the city wherein resided his fam.
lily and loved ones, He and his friend
paced the deck during that night of
September 49, The bombardment
ceased just before day. SO long as
the bOmbardment continued they knew
the fort had not surrendered, but when
it ceased before daylight 1t left them
In great suspense rs to the result We
may we'll imagine how earnestly they
looked forward to dawn and sufficient
light tO relieve their anxiety. How
happy they must have been when they
saw that the flag was still there.
Key was stirred To the depths by pa
trlotic fervor and devotion, and there
wrote his song of rejoicing, THE Star
Spangled Banner"
The memory Of the Old flag which
saluted Key on that morning of Sep
tember Ia, 1914, still lives In the
hearts Of the people, and the flag |!

ment.

where and how Of Its writing2
The citizens of Baltimore staged an
impressive pageant of the centenary
Of the Battle of North Point and Fort
McHenry during the week of Septem-
Der II, 1914. Congress appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of monu-
ment to Key. this monument to be
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 Llnthlcum
OF Maryland In recent speech In the
house reviewed those events ard said,
among other things:
Mr.. Linthicum-This monument now

state She supplied 46 officers, or
nearly one-tifth of all the officers, of

Begin Right Now to
Conquer Your Rheumatism

If you are going to again rely
upon the liniment bottle to try to
rub your Rheumatism away, you
will be doomed again to nothing
but disappointment. A disease
that can cause so much pain and
suffering is not on the surface Of
the skin, and cannot be rubbed
away.
Many forms of rheumatism are
caused by a tiny disease germ in
the blood, and in such cases the
only logical treatment is to search
out and remove these germs from
