HUGE sum FOR

And in connection with this ges-

AMERICANS MAY
Be PROUD OVER
CHRISTMAS, l776

Perhaps no Christmas has loomed
quite so darkly in the history of
American people as that of the year
l776 when the young nation was
struggling to overthrow the yoke
Of the mother country, and yet, des-
pite the dark outlook, the dav be-
came one of joy for on it occurred
the victory of the battle of Trenton.
The Revolutionary war had been
in progress over year and a half
as Christmas neared that year, and
aside from one or two minor victor
les, nothing of moment had happen
ed to cheer the hearts of the strug-
Cling colonists.
Late in the summer the British
began to land troops on Long Is
land. New York, Washington and
his forces having retired to the vi
cinity of New York. The British
succeeded in cutting the colonial
forces in two, capturing one section,
and cooping up Washington with the
other in New York City.
1t was at this time Washington
wrote "Our situation is truly dis
tressing.' He retreated to White
Plains, where an unsuccessful stand
was made against the British. After
this hundreds of colonials, certain
that the cause was lost, deserted
the army and left for their homes.
The Continental congress at Phil
adelphia was thoroughly frightened,
and turning the whole fortunes of
the war over to Washington, they
left Philadelphia which they expect
ed every moment would be captured
by the British.
Through the fall and early winter
Imperial Valley press., 1927-12-19

ed to relieve the Trenton troops,
Washington fell back toward Prince
ton, where he defeated another body
of British troops. These two victor
les greatly cheered the colonists and
inspired new hope in their struggle
against England. Following these
successes Washington retired into
winter quarters.
OF course with the limited means
of communication in those days, the
success at Trenton was not widely
known, but it cheered as brave and
as courageous an army as ever trod
the earth at time when encourage
ment was sorely needed.
With all the comforts of our mod
ern civilization, it is difficult to
visualize the hardships which Wash
ington and his little band encounter
ed on that momentous Christmas
Eve. Seldom, if ever, do many Am
orleans look back to such stirring
incidents as this and recall that it
is only because of such sufferings
as these men endured that we are
able to enjoy Christmas today in
peace and plenty.
The end of the little revolutionary
band s suffering did not come with
the victory at Trenton. 1t was not
until nearly five years later that
peace at last was achieved. If, as
Christians, we recall on Christmas
Day the wonderful story of Bethle-
hem, surely as Americans we can
also recall with pride and thankful
ness, the courage of Washington
and his ragged little band at Tren-
ton on Christmas 1916.

little was done by either the British
or the Americans. The latter, how
ever, were in much worse condition
than the former. The soldiers were
ill-elad. half starved and poorly
equipped.
Despite the fact that his army
was gradually melting away and he
was assailed on every side, Wash
ington except the faith. - He skill
fully retreated his men from New
York across New Jersey and into
Pennsylvania. Here he rested his
men for a short time and with the
near approach of Christmas he de-
cided upon a bold stroke.
At Trenton was q large body of
Hessian troops, hired by George of
England to help him fight his un-
popular war. Knowing the German
custom of celebrating Christmas,
Washington banked on catching the
enemy off guard.
Story Is Familiar
Every American schoolboy is IA
miliar with the events of that mo-
mentous Christmas Eve when Wash
ington crossed the Delaware. The
river was full of floating ice. The
air was filled with sleet and snow.
His ragged little force was half
frozen Many a leader would have
quailed before the tremendous odds
against him, but Washington perse,
vered. With the aid of hardy fish
ermen from Marblehead, Salem and
Gloucester, he was able to get his
forces into boats and started across
the river.
Landing on the New Jersey side
he fell upon the British and their
Hessian allies, capturing many pris-
oners and what was Of more i'm
portanee, many munitions which
were badly needed for the colonial
army. The Hessians, never dream
ing of attack under such conditions,
never had chance.
