invitation was cheerfully accepted by
our young countryman, who waited on
General Braddock soon as he heard
of arrival at Alexandria. About the
same time three companies Of excel
lent Virginia marksmen raised by
order of the Legislature, arrived at
the British camp.
1t was in the month Of June, 1855,
that the army, upwards of 1000
strong, left Alexandria, and with their
faces to the west, began their march
to the mournful dirty of cover the
hills and faraway." On the route,
Washington was taken sick; and by
the time they had reached the Little
Meadows, had become so very ill, that
Braddock, at the instance of the ply
s~icians, insisted most peremptorily
that he should lie by until Colonel Dun
bar with the rear of the army came up.
With great reluctance he yielded to
their wishes, but 50 great were his
fears for the army, lest in those wild
woods it should fall into some Indian
snare, that the moment his fever left
him. he got placed on his horse, and
pursued. and overlook them the very
evening before they fell into that am
bushcade which he had all along dread
ed. For the next morning, the 9Th of
July. when they were safely arrived
within seven miles of Fort Du Quesnei
and so confident of success, that their
general swore he would that night sup
either in Fort Duquesne or in hell, be-
hold, the Virginia Rangers discovered
signs Of the Indians!
TIo,o Warliprt with his 1cf1a1
modesty, observed to General Brad
dock what sort of an enemy he had
row to deal with-an enemy who
would not like the Europeans, come
forward to a fair contest in the field,
but, concealed behind the rocks and
trees, carry on a deadlv warfare with
their rifles. He concluded with these
words, 81 beg of our eXcellency the
honour to allow me to lead on with the
Virginia Rifemen. and fight them in

Had it been decreed that this hap

the counsel to have done it. But
it would seem, alas! that Heaven had
ordained their fall in that distant
land; and there with their flesh to

brief extension today Of the
period of amnesty granted by the

tended only to County Kerry, but

Yield Arms In Limerick.
Word was received from Limerick
that large numbers of Irregulars
were giving up their arms. pledging
themselves to fight no more against

under Commandant Pierce, were
ready to surrender, but that some
of them were in isolated positions
and 1t would require q day or two
to get them to the depot where

ton of amnesty will be followed by
the most vigorous military campaign

against the Irregulars. 1t is prob
able. also, that executions of Ir.
REGULAR leaders will be resumed.

Another vigorous appeal to Presi-

made in the Senate today.
Asserting the need for closer world
wide association of nations never
was greater. Senator Owen Dem.)

Aside from the purely economic
considerations, the conference sug.
gested by Owen, a strong League of
Nations advocate, would be directed
to strive "for the establishment
throughout the world Of the terri.
torial integrity and political indie
pendence of every nation, great or
small" In this respect, the Owen
conference embodies the basic prin.
ciples set down in the covenant of
the league, and is more far-reaching
in scope than the international eco

the peace Of the world and happiness
OF mankind must be based" said
Owen.
THE world is looking for the moral
leadership of our great disinterested
self-governed nation. Statesmen of
Europe are directly and indirectly
appealing to America to point the
path to liberty" he added.
Action by the United States must

potential war clouds are looming in

Owen praised the ACCOMPLISH

ginnings in the highly desirable
plan Of curing world Ills.
ut was q fine step forward, but
it Is now time to take another

Renewing the attack he made in
the Senate short time ago against
the French invasion of the Ruhr,
he continues:
"The chief reason foH the in

objectionable" he said ''becausa 1t
is a denial of the fundamental prln-

because the remedy of French in
