The First Shot in the Revolution.

Col. George Harvey, editorial writer
for the Washington Post, saw mater
ial for editorial comment in one of the
articles in the series, Famous Forts
in u. S. History" and the following
was the result:
Contrary to popular opinion, the
opening gun of the Revolution was
not fired at Lexington, Massachusetts
on April 10, 1775. That honor really
belongs to Portsmouth, New Hamp-
shire, where the first overt act in the
war for independence took place, De-
cember IA, 1774
What coil is this! Nevertheless
Mr. Elmo Scott Watson, speaking
through the National Republican, does
not hesitate to riddle an axiom of
American history, thus befuddling
both the scholar and the poet
How many nave ever doubted that
by certain soft stream in Lexington,
there first the embattled farmers
stood? Well they didn't. Who but
would Indignantly assert that Paul
Revere first galloped into fame Tin
April, 1775'? Well, he didn't Listen,
my children, and you shall hear!'
Twas on the thirteenth of Deem
Der, 1774, that Revere, learning of
certain British designs, leaped on his
steed and rode post haste to Ports
mouth to warn it's local committee
that General Gage was planning to.

reinforce Fort William and Mary.
Governor Wentworth heard of Re-
vere's warning and sent orders to the
small garrison in the fort to be on
their guard against colonial sur
prise attack.
About four o'clock on the morning
of the fourteenth a band of 400 pat
riots rowed out to the fort to demand
it's surrender AS the entire garrison,
including the captain, numbered only
six men, discretion overcame valor
and Fort William and Mary passed
from British control forever. Before
the patriots leaped from their skiffs.
however, the captain satisfied a sol
dier's honor by observations on such
conduct in the form of little gunfire
carefully directed over the attackers
heads.
After the irate patriots had remov
ed the ammunition, they permitted
the garrison to remain Subsequently
the mainland became too hot for Gov
ernor Wentworth and he moved over
to more congenial company in the
harbor. There he remained until the
following August, when he and his
companions were glad to signal
British man o'war to take them
abroad.
The Americans celebrated their de
parture by demolishing the fort as a
gentle indication that the days of
British garrisoning were over so far
as New Hampshire was concerned.

plane was put out of the running when the u S. S. destroyer
William Jones ammed when it took to the water to repair
broken oil line it developed when the plane was towed back
into San Francisco bay today.
HONOLULU, T. H.. Sept. 2.-(By U. P.)-There was vir-
tual mourning in Honolulu today as fear increased
among the people for the safety of Commander John Rodgers
and his four flying mates aboard the seaplane PN9-1
AS the forenoon wore and than 20 hours had
passed since the craft forced to the with its gaso
line supply exhausted thousands of citizens thronged the
streets and crowded in front of bulletin boards
Plans which had been made to greet the heroic adven
turers with stirring welcome aside An air of
dpened the expected rescue failed to be reported
Over widespread frantic search was carried on
by the destroyes Tanage and Fagut and the tender
Aroostook Submarines and aanes were in use guided by
radioed instructions
No reports regarding the progress of the search were
being received at naval headquarters here There will pos
siby be none unless the missing seaplane is found.
Attic the weather is ideal lowhung clouds against the
horizon indicated probable storms while commercial
vessels reported heavy chuming the ocean swels
