Hartford where it was presented for three days, were comparatively higher. Now that Chicago has started it's attack on history books alleged to be pro- British, we may expect the texts of the future to contain facts" like the following:
 The Pilgrims and other carly settlers of this country were too noble 10 be of English stock and probably were descended from race of angels.
 WaShington's orderly retreat from Fort Duquesne saved the country in the French and Indian war, Wolfe's capture Of Quebec being a mere skirmish
 At Bunker Hill, Long Island, Brandywine, and other similar battles the precipitate retreat of the American forces was due to nasty withdrawals according 10 plan.
 In the War of 1912 the British forces were soundly trounced in every battle and their supposed burning of Washington was only the Turning of a replica of the Ameri- can capital.
 Great Britain financed Mexico in its disastrous war with the United States. Incidentally, We had to take what is now our southwest away from Mexico 10 prevent greedy Brit ish from getting it first

 Custer was massacrcd by q gang of Canadians painted up like h. dians.,

 In the World war the United States successfully defeated the combined armies of Germany Aus tria, Bulgaria, Turkey and Great Britain.
