True AmeriCanism

Two men were sitting in Lafayette
square the other day, discussing the
Stars and Stripes, when one of them
pulled from his pocket a card on
which was printed the following trib-
ute to the flag by Marx E. Kahn
After he had read it aloud to his
companion the other suggested that 1t
was something that should be in the
home of every real American. The
tribute reads as follows: Behold the
Emblem of Our Countrywide Great
est Flag of the Greatest Nation in
the World May it ever wave over a
free and liberty-loving people! May
it ever represent the highest ideals
of American manhood, the loftiest
standards Of exalted womanhood, the
purest principles of social democracy
May its generous folds, blessed by
Almighty God and glorified by the
blood of our forefathers, ever succor
and support, at home and abroad, on
land and on sea, suffering mankind,
struggling for human rights, human
freedom and human advancement !"-

Backward again our country looks to
see
The far beginnings of. this fateful
day;
This day which once meant death or
liberty,
The opening Of new and untrod
way.
What pages since have in our nations
life
Been written both in blood and lines
of fire;
What growth and gains, with vital i'm
port rife,
Have raised us high, and still our
hopes inspire!
Grant, gracious God, that we, like those
of old,
Our lives, our fortunes, and our all
may yield
That this fair land shall freedoms
birthright hold.
Be Thou, as then, Thyself, our sun
and shield.
Our sun to light the path our feet
should tread
Our shield to guard from unsuspected
foes
The foe without, the foe within more
dread
From wreckful war and subtle treason's
woes.
So may this day with every fresh re-
Behold us richer in earths best es-
tate
High aims that shall like quenchless
beacons burn,
To guide the world to ends supremely
great.

Guiding Washington, CORVALLIS, La
fayette and Virginia nOtables of the
Colonial period.
The present courthouse stands on
the site of the original house Of jus
tice, which was built in 1897, but like
majority Of the original structures,
was destroyed by Union troops dur
ing the Civil war. Other historic
places are the Nelson house, head
quarters for CORVALLIS during 1.-The
siege Of Yorktown; the Moore house,
where the articles of surrender were
drawn up; Corvallis cave, which he
used as a storehouse for ammunition,
and various rn95uDrs erected for the
defense of the town against Washing
ton and his troops.
There are but two monuments at
Yorktown. The most imposing one,
standing within the town limits and
overlooking the York river, was au-
thorized by a resolution Of congress
on October 90, 1871, but was not erect
ed until 18S1-82. 1t cost 500, 1000, and
is memorial Of victory. The inscrip-
tions tell of the surrender of Corn
wallis, the treaties of peace that fol-
lowed, and other historical state
ments. The monument is 955a feet
high.
Marks Surrender Spot.
A plain little marker stands on the
probable site of the surrender. 1t
was built by superintendent of the
national cemetery which adjoins it,
who was hopeful that the government
would erect a larger one in time Dis
puteS arose as to the exact scene of
the surrender, and no action has yet
been taken. The MARKER scarcely
20 feet in height, is slowly distinte-
grating.
Original Notifications, built by the
Americans and British. still are in a
fair state of preservation. One of
these is Fort Hamilton. a British re-
doubt, so named because it was
stormed and taken by Col. Alexander
Hamilton in the latter days of the
siege. 1t is to preserve and properly
mark these historic sites that the
Colonial Danes are bending their en-
ergies to have sufficient appropria-
ton made by congress.

After the lapse of nearly century
and a half it seems highly probable
that something will be done to pre-
serve and mark the historic sites in
Yorktown, Va, the scene of Lord
Corvallis surrender and of stirring
incidents in each succeeding war of
the nation Yorktown was partly de-
stroyed by the British in 1912, again
by the Union troops in 1851, and dur
ing the World war Yorktown was an
important naval base and mine depot
The Society for the Preservation of
Virginia Antiquities has preserved
many interesting relics and maps, and
a movement is now on foot, fostered
by the Colonial Danes, to have con-
gress appropriate a sufficient amount
to restore the ancient Notifications,
Arizona state miner., 1923-06-30

lay out roads, and erect monuments
and markers at the historic sites.
Yorktown, established in 1851 by de-
cree of the king Of England, was pur-
chased from Laurence Smith. The
site covered so acres, and was paid
for with 10000 pounds of tobacco, the
currency of the colonists. 1t occupies
a bluff above the York river, and prior
to the Civil war was a town of con-
siderable population. On the main
street of Yorktown was the first Gus
tom house established in America, the
port of entry for New York, Philadel-
phia, and other northern cities.
Oldest House Still Occupied.
The oldest house now standing in
Yorktown was erected in 1899. It's
brick walls are still in an excellent
state of preservation, and the house is
occupied as a residence. The York
town inn, another landmark, was
erected in 1T25. and here were enter.

when General Knox entertained Louis
Philip, afterward king of France, and
General Lafayette, his personal friend.
General Knox was born in Boston
and as young man was employed by
Wharton & Barnes, booksellers, on
Cornhill. Recognizing the inevitable
conflict he studied the art of fortify-
ing and defending besieged towns and
in November, 1775, was appointed by
the Continental congress as colonel
Of artillery. One of the important
feats of the war was his transporta-

Philip Freneau Author
of the First American
Poem of Independence

Now the two great English-speaking
nations, the United States and Great
Britain, happily are on terms of amity,
but in the days Of the differences"
there was feeling against the mother
country intensely violent, as is shown
by the appended verses. Philip Ere
neau, author of the poem, was the first
American poet of any note. He was
born In 1852 in New York, was gradu-
ated from Princeton in 1771, and in
1775, at the age of twenty-three, he
wrote this bitterly satirical poem, en-
titled Emancipation From British De-
pendence." The next year independence
was declared by the Continental con-
gress. Freneau lived to the age Of
eighty, dying near Freehold, N. j., late
in 1882.
From a junta that labor for absolute
power,
Whose schemes, disappointed, have
made them look sour;
From the lords of the council, who fight
against freedom,
Who still follow on where delusion
shall lead 'em;
From groups at st. James who slight
our petitions
And fools that are waiting for further
submissions;
From a nation whose manners are
rough and abrupt,
From scoundrels and raSca1s whom
gold can corrupt;
From pirates sent out by command of
the king
To murder and plunder, but never to

From Wallace and Graves and vipers
and roses

bloody noses;
From the valiant Dunmore, with his
crew of banditti,

From hot-headed Montague, mighty to

But i am not unduly cOnceited and
yet there would be every excuse for
me if were. Because my family are
loved! People fairly rave over ice

popular as they can be. Chocolate is
the most popular, but there are Pine

Coffee and they are all very popular
too.

home where it is so cool and comfort

the fact that I am about in the summer
