Famous Forts In
u. S. History
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON
70. 1925. western Newspaper Union. }
Guardian of the Trail to
Santa Fee

Since Gen Henry Leavenworth es-
tablished two of the most important
forts in the early days of the west,
1t is especially appropriate that one
Of them, still one of Uncle Sans
greatest military posts, should bear
his name. SO Fort LeavenwOrth in
Kansas keeps alive today the memory
of this gallant soldier who first dis
tlnguished himself in the War of 1912
but who won even greater laurels in
the West.
By 1927 the volume of trade to the
old Spanish capital of Santa Fee had
become so large that the government
found 1t necessary to take measures
for its protection from hostile Indians
Accordingly General Leavenworth
was ordered to establish fort for
such a purpose and he selected the
present site of Fort Leavenworth.
Soon afterwards the military stores
at Fort Atkinson in Nebraska were
removed to Fort LeavenwOrth and it
became the principal outpost on the
great trail into the Southwest.
AT the outbreak of the Mexican
war the "Army of the West was or
ganized at Fort LeavenwOrth and in
1916 Col. S. w. Kearney set out from
this post with his dragons on the his
toric march to conquer the Southwest
In 1854 Fort Leavenworth became the
seat Of civil as well as military gov
nrnmpnf in NJ Of hn ,f1.u
when Andrew H. Reeder, the first gov
ernor of Kansas, arrived there to es-
tablish the territorial government.
The next year the old fort saw Gen.
w. 8. Harvey starting on the expedi-
ton against the Brule Sioux which
resulted in the crushing defeat of
these Indians at the battle of Ash
Hollow. In view Of Fort Leaven-
wOrth's later prominence as a military
prison, 1t is interesting to note that
the seven Sioux chiefs who surren-
dered to Harvey as hostages for the
good conduct of their people were
sent there for safekeeping. Thus
these original Americans were the
first to be ''sent down to Leaven-
worth" with all the sinister meaning
that those words still carry.
But for all of Fort Leavenworth' s
later reputation as "a good place to
stay out Of" in the old days it was
a place Of refuge for it was the east
ern terminus of the Kansas stage line
which ran to Denver and the Pixies
Peak gold diggings, and many a pas
senger on one of these stages, after
a thrilling ride to escape hostile In
dians drew his first free breath When
he saw it's friendly old walls.

The Fort That Saw Two
Decisive Battles

Few forts can claim the distinction
Of having had a part in two decisive
battles in American history. Yet
Fort st. Philip in Louisiana has the
right to that claim. 1t was built in
1914 as a defense for New Orleans at
a bend in the Mississippi sorle 65
miles below that city.
After Gen. Andrew Jackson's vic
tory at New Orleans, a part Of the
British fleet bombarded Fort St.
Philip for five days but failed to re-
duce it. The American loss was. only
two killed and seven wounded, fit.
ting conclusion to "Old Hickorys"
great victory, which was remarkable
in the fact that he lost only eight
killed and 13 wounded as compared
to the British loss of TOO killed and
500 taken prisoners.
At the opening of the Civil war
Louisiana state troops seized Fort
st. Philip and its sister stronghold,
Fort Jackson, Quilt between 1924 and
1892 on the other side Of the river.
They mounted rs guns on Fort Jack
son, 40 on st. Philip, stretched a
chain across the river below Fort
Jackson and placed a fleet of Is YES
sells above the two forts. With these
defenses they believed New Orleans
safe from any attack.
In March, 1852, Commodore David
Farragut arrived on the Mississippi
with a fleet of 4S vessels, bearing
more than 200 guns, and orders to
take New Orleans. For six days the
mortar flotilla of Commander D. D.
Porter bombardeG the two forts
without much apparent success.
Then Farragut decided to try to
run past the forts, an undertaking
which the Confederates considered
sheer madness. Early In the morning
of April "a Farragut started up the
river and through perfect storm of
shot and shell from the fort, the fleet.
With the exception of three yessels,
safely made it's way. Tie Confeder-
ate ships were destroyed and on Nav
/ New Orleans was in the possession
Of the Union forces.
In the meantime Porter kept up the
bombardment Of the two forts and
with the cooperation of troops urder
Gen. B. F. Butler, compelled the Con
federate Gen. ]. K. Duncan with his
force of 700 men in each fort to sur.
render on April %. Farragut's loss in
this affair was only 81 killed and 147
wounded. His was one of the most
brilliant feats of the war and when
Fort st. Philip and Fort Jackson sur.
rendered it marked the beginning OF
the chain of events which enabled
Abraham Lincoln to write "The Faith
er of Waters now flows unvexed t.
the sea-"

Franklin Set Style

When Eighteenth-century Paris was
still wearing the picturesque three
cornered hat Benjamin Franklin came
to represent the new republic of the
United States, wearing on his head a
queer thing derived from the steeple
crowns of the Puritan Pilgrim fathers.
Paris copied it and turned it into the
cylinder which Christendom has worn
ever since. says the Detroit News.
In the Eighteenth century when par
tisans of France and of Russia were
fighting it out in Sweden the French
faction wore hats, the Russians caps.
The Middle ages, as a familiar ballad
reminds US, knew q Pilgrim by his

a puzzled expression.
You seemed to regard nv weak

missed the matter from his mind.

designed to hide his thoughts. Then

And at the touch of his lips on hers
Joan knew that in truth she loved
him; all that she had heard of the
mans past, mis- diSsoute life, the talk
of AvonmOuth, was forgotten. She
only knew that she loved him, not
with the wild passion of which she
had heard, but with a quiet and abid-

qualities of calmness; and it was the
most natural thing in the world that
she, who had given him life again,
should give her own life also to this
wonderful, strong man who had risen
above his wrongs and driven the be-
setting devils from him by valorous
strength Her heart was lifted up ;
serene and trustful she returned his

with the Associated Press outlined
the difficulties In the way OF solv-
ing the disarmament problem and
the basis for hope that they finally
will be successfully surmounted.
The chief obstacle to disarma-
ment was the desire for security
because OF suspicious and iealousies
of nations, Some amelioration In
this spirit had been brought about
but not everywhere, although a
great step forward had been made.
Dealing with the strength AMI
prestige OF the League OF Nations
as an important clement toward
bringing about security, Lord Co.
ell referred to the rapidity with
which the Greco bulgarian i'm
hroglio was settled and pointed to
declarations of the members OF the
council at Paris that violence in
the settlement OF International dis
putes would no longer be permitte !
among members Of the league.
The more nations become in the
habit Of referring disputes to paci-
fic settlement" said Lord Cecil,
the less they will regard one an
other as potential enemies"
Asked If the disarmament prob

timism, Lord Cecil said he dii not

the difficulties in the way of dis
armament were insurmountahlc
On the contrary the forces In its
favor were stronger than those
against II, Lord Grey had rightly
said that the world disarm or
perish.
ANA future world war would
almost certainly destroy civiliza-
ton" declared Lord Cecil. THAT
Is why the peoples of Europe are
demanding so insistcntly that their
government should agree to a
scheme Of disarmament"
Lord Cecil said the first factor
making the outlook for disarma-
ment brighter was financial, Next
came the obligations OF the allied
and associated powers" In the YER
saillos treaty to further a general
scheme OF disarmament and their
assurances to the former enemies
that their disarmament was only
the first step toward a general re-
form in that direction, He empha-
sized that this assurance was eX-

''The Hurricane KID is the title of

ton Friday and Saturday. It was
produced by the Universal Pictures
corporation with the inimitable Hoot

twentieth consecutive time by Ed

''The Hurricane Kid" is the story
of cowboy, who roams from ranch
to ranch, living mainly on dreams
and the lure of adventure. He's
rather fond Of the ladies-at dis

strong in his heart. 1t isn't the con-
ventional western hero role, but a hu-
man sort of character who does hui
man things throughout.
Plenty Of action, thrills and a great
race are promised in addition to the
human interest and comedy touches.
