Yankees Flee From Quebec.

QUEBEC, May 6. 1776.-British
army transports have arrived here
with 10000 fresh troops to reinforce
Sir Guy Cartoons garrison. Hardly
had they tied up at the piers when
about 1000 marines and soldiers land
ed and sailed forth from the gates
Of st. Louis and ST. John for an
attack upon the American camp.
The Americans Immediately began
to retreat in great disorder. Gen.
John Thomas, the American com
mander, could assemble no more than
$50 able bodied troops to oppose the
British. He ordered a withdrawal to
Deschambault, 48 miles above this
city. SO hurried was the flight that
quantities Of supplies were left be-
hind, including provisions. cannon,
500 muskets, camp equipment and
most Of the personal belongings OF
officers and men. Many OF the men
escaped with only the clothing on
their backs.
More than 200 American victims Of
smallpox were left behind in the camp
hospitals. Any attempt TO remove
them would have resulted in the cap
ture Of the whole American force.
Some Of the sick men left their peds
and attempted to make their escape,

blankets. Many small detachments
on outpost duty who could not be
notified of the retreat were made
prisoners, when, upon returning 10
camp, they found themselves sur
rounded, not by their own com
panions, but by the British regulars.
While the retreat was in progress
Col Maxwell attempted to form his
Pennsylvania troops in ambush in
order to halt the British advance and
enable the rest of the Yankees to
escape in safety. but Gen. Thomas
realizing that the Pennsylvanians
were risking an encounter with a
vastly superior force. would not allow
Col. Maxwell to carry out his bold
enterprise. Today's retreat covered
about ~ miles. The days develop
ments mean that the Yankees must
abandon their last hope for taking
this city.

Develop to State as Factor
in Preparedness.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Ama-
teur radio operators and their equip
ment have developed during the last
year into one of the chief factors Of
national preparedness and defense,
according to the annual report of
Maj. Gen. c. Mex. Saltzman, chief
signal officer of the Army.
There has been opened up new
and vast network of radio channels
Of communication which will be Of
great potential value in time of emer-
gency," Saltzman, declared. The
Army is perfecting plans in coopera-
ton with the American Radio Relay
League for full utilization Of these
resources when needed
Reporting on the advances in this
science, in which the Army has lead,
Saltzman said:
''The advance in the art of COM
n1unication has been most rapid dur
Ing recent years. The past year has
been no exception, as exemplified by
the development of a short wave,
high frequency transmission and re-
ception in radio, the use of carrier
currents on wire lines. and so on
through long list of achievements.
