Along Assunpinks woody bank we left
cur campfres bright.
While like a fox with padded feet we
stole away by night:
CORVALLIS watched his Trenton trap,
And drained his glass. and took his
nap.
But the ragged troops CT Washington
outftanked him in the night
Up and away for Princeton.
BY secret road 10 Princeton
We dragged our guns with muffied
wheels 20 win another fight
The icy trail was hard as iron. our foot
prints marked II red !;
Our frosty breath went up like smoke
20 the winking stars o'erhead;
ny Bear Swamp and by Miry Run,
Our muskets weighed at least ton
We shivered. til DER Stony Brook we
saw that sun rise red;
Weary We tramped 10 Princeton
But all OF US at Princeton
Would follow our chief through thick
and thin TIL the last Of US was
dead.
We looked beyond the upper bridge.
across the swollen stream,
And there along the kings. highway we
saw the Redcoats CLEAN:
Twas Mawhood's regiment marching
down
To fnish US on at Trenton Town.
GO cut the bridge"-and MERGERS men
crcpt W along the stream.
But the British turned towards
Princeton.
Came braveIy back for Princeton:
And all the rest OF that dim hour was
wilder than a dream.

They rushed thro VIII Clark's orchard,
among the naked trees;
With horse and foot they hammered
hard; their bullets sang like bees !;
And Mercer fell, and Haslet fell,
The bayonets cut US up like he'll;
The chain-shot moved bloody path
beneath the twisted trees.
1t looked all black for Princeton,
We lost our hopes of Princeton;
We wavered. and we broke and fled as
leaves before the breeze.
Then down the hill from Tom Clark's
house rode Washington afiame
With holy ire through smoke and fire,
like mighty Mars he came.
"Come on my men. parade with me.
Well make the braggart Redcoats
flee
And UP the hil. against the guns. rode
Washington afiame.
He turned the tide at Princeton:
The land was saved at Princeton
And they who fought, and they who fell,
won liberty and fame.
Men praise our chief for weighty words,
for counsel calm and high,
For prudence and enduring will. for cool,
far-seeing eye
One thing he had all else above
Courage that caught the soldiers love.
And made the soldiers loyal heart in

When we view the course OF human

Of history's student we are amazed to
discover how seldom a particular mil

Battles have seldom decided the fates

conflict have provided rather its
punctuation than its theme. But
among the exceptions. among the
cases in which a particular conflict

The climax OF that desperate adven-

Trenton had been an almost complete
surprise. an easy victory. Princeton

PRESIDENT OPPOSES
|PRE-WAR WAGERATE
REIMBURSEMENT Must Be Fair,
He Tells Trenton Crowd
From Rear of Train.

TRENTON, June 9-There must be a
"readjustment' in the relations between
labor and capital in this country. but II
must be fair" readjustment IL normal
conditions are to return President Har-
ding declared here tonight before a
large crowd which gathered at the train
carrying the President back to Wash
ington as 1t made brief stop.
Coming out of the prolonged applause
which followed this statement was a
loud shout from one man in the crowd.
Alta boy!"
During the war capital got used to
unusual profits end labor became ac-
uuainted with unusual wages. which
both have been reluctant to relinquish,"
the President said. There must be
readjustment-but it must be fair re-
adjustment. We must say to capital
that wages must not go back. and ought
not go back to where they were before
the war.
THE world war would indeed have
been a failure and the sacrifices made
in our behalf would have been in vain
II we should go back.
"Yet you cannot have employment
without reasonable profit for capital
The Government is trying to keep its
hands out and reduce taxes and burdens
upon you. 1t is all up to you, for
there is not a great deal the Government
can do. It's up-to each one OF us TO
resolve that we are going to work. that
we are going to resume production, In
order to hold the United States to a
foremost place in the life Of the world"
The return to normal conditions de-
ponds upon the people engaged in
business. not the capitalist alone" the
President continued He repeated his
warning that there must be less Gov
eminent in business and more business
in Government.
The crowd surged up to greet the
President as he stood on the back plat
form, but he was forced to forego q
general handshaking on account OF the
short stop scheduled
PRINCETON, June "A great ovation
was given the President and Mrs Har-
ding tonight by an exuberant mob of
students just prior to the departure from
Princeton. They gathered before the
home of DIR. Hibben, in the college
campus, and the President talked to
them informally for few minutes.
ITS lot more fun to be a college boy
than President" he said. which drew a
laugh from the students.
Afterward a round of vociferous
cheers went up for President and Mrs.
Harding. The Presidential party rode
out of the campus through a line OF
students calling fareWells.

ITALY PREPARES TO

When asked to-day swhat further
steps had been taken In the Italo-R Rus

Foreign Minister. said it should be en-

drawn up December 26, 1920. He said
the questions 10 be dealt with at The

However, Sis nor Schanzer said that
Italy's policy o the complete return of

CONFERENCE NEAR
ACCORD IRELAND
Discussion Of Constitution in
London Is Reported Pro-
crossing Favorably.

Special Cable to THE New YosK HEsALD.
Copyright, 1899, by The New Yoax HrEALp.
New York Herald Bureau.
London, June 0.
The Irish negotiations took distinct
turn for the better to-day, according to
persons in close, touch with the situa-
ton. Experts have come to believe that
the proposed constitution can easily be
interpreted as conforming to the treaty.
Aside from the actual negotiations. both
sides in London also are pleased over
the way the Pettigoe and Beeleek incl
dents are being received in Ireland.
1t had been frankly feared that the
British shell fire against the Irish might
have the same effect as the Easter, 1916.
nghting. Reports from Ireland indi-
cate. however. that there is no DISPOSE
ton in any quarter to make martyrs OF
the wild irregulars who had occupied
Ulster territory.
The Ulster situation still remains one
of the hard nuts to crack and no way
has yet been found to enforce order in
Belfast without the British Government
laying itself open to the charge of de-
sorting the loyalists In Ulster"
The length of time the experts are
recurring TO examine the Free State con-
stitution is due to the novelty Of Its form
to British eyes. 1t follows the Swiss
model closer than that of any dominion,
yet the experts now believe that these
novel forms can be accommodated to
that elastic institution known as the con-
stitution Of the British Empire.
The optimism here to-day also Is
based upon the belief that cannon de
Valera will respect the decisions taken
here. In this sense there Is growing
respect in British circles for the Col
INSIDE Valera pact. A factor which
also is considered to have contributed
TO lessen De Valera's intransigeance Is
the return of Countess Georgiana Mar
kievicz from America practically empty
handed. Though certain Irish enthusi-
asts there contributed sums to the re-.
publican cause through her, which to
them appeared generous. she has
brought back nothing like the war chest
which the republicans need. and those
who have talked to her say she has
given very discouraging reports of the
prospect of raising money from America
with which to fight the treaty.
The, Earl Of Balfour has now been
given almost complete charge of the
Ulster difficulty. He saw Sir James
Craig, Premier of Ulster, again to-day.
Despite the things Irishmen say of his
administration when. he was Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland in the last generation
the Earl of Balfour Is now devoted to
the Lloyd George theory Of qualification
in Ireland and the weight Of his influ-
ence counts for much with Belfast
opinion.
1t is likely that Arthur Griffith and
the other experts will remain here over
the week end, as Lloyd George is hoping
to have final "plenary" session of the
treaty signatories before Parliament
meets Monday in order to be able to re-
port progress and ask the patience Of
the House until the Irish elections have
been held. Collins may be summoned
! to attend this session. srFf.,
