A Battlefield Neglected.
Time Wiping Out the Landmarks
of the Struggle at SaratOga.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: With re-
gard to the landmarks on the site Of
the battle Of Saratoga it should be un-
derstood that the present Freeman farm
house is not the same building that
stood there at the time of the battle.
The present farmhouse has no his
torical value whatever. 1t was erected
not more than seventy-fve or eighty
years ago. The Freeman farmhouse of
Revolutionary days was a log cabin To-
Gated on an elevation nearly sixty rods
to the southwest of the present edifice.
The loa foundations have been In evil
dence in the recollection OF persons still
living. The highway Of those days
passed close to the site, although it is
now somewhat far afield.
There is nothing to mark the site,
which shares in the same neglect ns
Fraser's burial place. the site of the
house where he died. the Donigat house,
where Sir Francis Clark was killed, the
site of Burgoyne's headquarters and
many other historically important local
tiles which are rapidly being lost in
oblivion.
On the farm formerly owned by Eu-
gene Curtis are several rods Of the old
entertainments comprising the British
fortified camp occupied during the m
terval between the two battles. These
are rapidly being leveled by time and
unless cared for will be more rapidly
leveled by the agriculturist. .ai
1t Is noticeable that no memorial ex-
lists on the field OF the two actors con-
t,tl. ft,e,
Heights, Daniel Morgan and Benedict
Arnold. Whatever the latter may have
been in after years. at Saratoga he was
n leading factor in winning pivotal
victory, rather than plotting q mile and
a half in the rear to supersede his COM
mander in chief; and Morgan, although
present with his unique command at the
urgent request of the General command
ing at Saratoga. was rewarded by non
mention in the dispatches, and post bat
tie snubs and sights from the same
source. because he refused emphatically
to indorse or give countenance to propo-
s.tions to supersede the commander in
chief with the hero" of Saratoga.
II Arnold's record was subsequently Of
the blacklist, was not Gates's even at
Saratoga tinged with brown? Yet the
former is damned and the latter glori-
fed in history.
Only few more years will pass be-
fore the Identification of important his
torical localities connected with the field
OF Saratoga will have become impossi-
Bile, and what is TO be done TO preserve
their identity must be done quickly.

Who with me have shared the dreary.

Smile the witching little children Who

Here forever rests splendor. the en-

And I dream amid soft, tender visions

Economy in Amusements.

The decrease in the amount spent
for amusements during the fiscal
year recently ended has fallen most
heavily ON the motion picture the
aters. The report of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue shows
that they suffered one-half the entire
loss in the outlay for amusements
of every kind as compared with the
preceding year. II was known gener-
ally that the patronage Of all diver
sions had decreased owing to various
economic causes. But IL was not
thought that the moving picture the
aters had been affected so much more
seriously than the other amusement
enterprises.
The diminution OF patronage prob
ably bears no relation to the quail
ity OF the entertainment. No critical
spirit prompted the persons who nor
mally would have gone to see this
new picture or that one to stay at
home instead. The motion picture
theaters are always lower priced
than any other kind. In some cities
they charge the minimum fee for
admission. Only in the theaters
which show the so-called feature pic
lures do the prices ever attain the
kge that prevails in the regular
kefore natural in time

bat rontze the motfon

America thinks none the less of him

Does this mean that Mr.. McKENNA

mean that the Conservatives of to-

Despite assertions by clergymen. OF
their belief that he did not intend to
be taken seriously, the wrath OF fem
unity hereabouts descended upon Am
bassador Harvey yesterday for his
speech before the Authors Club in Lon
don. suggesting that the world needed
a new Ten Commandments for women
because the old ones say nothing
about a lady not coyeting her neigh
boris husband-and declaring that there
Is rothing in the decalogue indicating
that their sex possesses either souls or
inherent rights.
The Rev. DR.. Caleb r. Stetson. rec
tor of Trinity Church, smiled broadly.
1T was a very amusing and entertain
ing speech delivered for literary men.
who probably had q good laugh. as I
did when / read It," said DIR. Stetson.
Says Christ Gave Answer.
1t also was the idea of the Rev.
William N. Ross. pastor or the Chelsea
Presbyterian Church. that Col. Harvey
must have been spoofing. ~
1T is too silly to think that any one
would believe literally the story OF
Adam and Eve and that she was created
out of his rib. and certainly no one could
seriously advance the idea that women
have no souls" he said. 1.-The Ten
Commandments in the old testament are
in negative form, but Christ has sum-
married. them all in the positive COM
mandment, Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as ,thyself.' That covers everything
and II a woman loves her neighbor she
will not covet the neighbor's husband"
Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw expressed
caustic relief that Ambassador Harvey
had refraimed from a discussion of
international affairs in his speech
1T Is much better for the world"
Mrs. Laidlaw said. that he thrash
around in the sort. Of subjects he chose
for the Authors Club address than he
should talk of the League Of Nations
or upon other themes with which in
ternational diplomacy is usually con-
cerned. didn't suppose he could be
as innocuous as he has shown himself
to be in this speech, and I hope the
rest of his addresses while abroad will
have the same literary tinge."

LONELY DEATH ON KOYUKUK;
 TRADERS WIFE IS SUMMONED

According to news brought to Nenana by the steamer Teddy H., Mrs. Jim Huntington, wife of the well known trader at the Hog river trading post, died suddenly of heart failure during the absence of her husband recently. Her only compan- ions, at the time death occurred, were three small children.
 Mrs. Huntington was apparently in good health when the Teddy H. called at the lonely post on the trip up the Koyukuk river to Bettles Five days later, when the steamer was returning to Nenana. another stop was made at the post, but only the children were in sight when the boat pulled up at the bank of the river. On going into the store and dwelling, officers of the steamer found the body of the woman on the kitchen floor, where she had apparently fallen dead.
 l The husband had gone to Nulato to get two other children, who had been attending school at Holy Cross.
 The members of the crew of the Teddy H. buried Mrs Huntington and then took the children on board the boat. Huntington and the two other children were met about 20 miles below Hog river, and the sad occurrence reported to them. He proceeded to the post with all the children.

 Officials of the White Pass Route tried to dissuade the travellers and mary others from trying u reach the I-tarior, beyond Dawson. and in view of the fact that the tourist agencies Outside know absolutely nothing of travel conditions in the North. the Crawfords had no way Of knowing how to reach Central Alaska.

1921 Taxes Become DeIin-
quent March |.

The taxes for 1921 become de.
linquent next We'd, March /.
Interest and penalties are added
to all taxes not paid before that
day. You can't wait until March
lst to pay your taxes and avoid
paying the penalties and inter-
est they accrue on that day.
The amount of taxes for 1921
in round numbers are $50, 900,
and up to the first Of the week
something over half of this
amount had been collected. The
Trustee is making the last lap of
his second trip through the coun-
ty this week, giving all an op.
portunity to pay their taxes
without coming to the county
seat. The remaining taxes should
be paid by the time he completes
his trip.
Out of 2l00 women in the
county assessed with Poll tax,
only a small per cent have paid.
Now the reason for this may be,
that a large number of the good
women are opposed to voting,
and believe the payment of this
tax can be avoided by the fail
ure to vote. Poll tax is collect
able the same. as any other tax.
and must be paid, AS all poll
taxes go to the support of the
public schools of the county, no
one should have to be forced to
pay this tax, but deem it a priv
ilege, and not a burden.
