Rare Washington Letters.

I'VE found Gen. Howe had no intention to
make an attack on our lines at the last
named place. We discovered by their move
ments that with the assistance Of their ships
they intended to draw o line around us and
cut OF our communications between the city
and country, thereby reducing us to the neces-
sity of fighting our way out under every dis
advantage.
THAT they might have accomplished one
the other of these If we had stayed at New
York is certain, because the city stands at the
point of a narrow neck Of land lying between
the East and North Rivers, both rivers having
sufacient depth Of water for ships of any
burthen, and because they were not only SUI
perior in numbers, but could bring their whole
force to any one point whereas we, to keep
open communications. were obliged to have an
extended line, or rather a chain of posts, for
10 miles.
"It may be asked how we came to take pos
session of and remain so long in place thus
circumstanced. The place was taken and the
works advanced before I left Boston. II our
strength had been equal to the determination
of Congress we should have had men enough
to defend the city and secured the communica-
lions, II their behavior had been good.
"Our retreat from Long Island was made
without any loss So might that have been
from New York but for defect in the depart
ment of the quartermaSter general in providing
teams enough and the dastardly behavior of
part Of our troops two brigades Of which ran
away from q small party Of the enemy and
left me in the field with only my aid-de-
camps"

DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF

Senator Watson of Indiana made good point the other day when he cited the roll calls on the tariff bill to show that virtually all Democrats voted for high rates on products produced in their own states.
 In the last presidential election "Al' Smith told the people that he would not tinker unnecessarily with the tariff rates; and it became evil dent duing the campaign that there was no vast difference between the two major parties on the tariff issue. But in Congress there still re- mained Democrats who were in favor Of low rates-on products not | produced in their own states. In this respect they were no different from Republicans in Congress, only il happens that most northern states, where the ma jority of Republicans | come from, are enmeshed in the

GLIDERS

It is significant that some Of oui best known aviators have taken up the glider craze; and some of them, outspoken as 10 why they have done so. have declared that it will help aviation.
 Aviation, it appears to us, requires an exceeding amount Of assistance of one sort or another.
 Fundamentally, gliding is sport. The idea is that if people take 70 gliding they will begin to take a liking to soaring around in the cir and the next step would be the de- sire 10 fly in an airplane. II is the same principle as that having to do with mouth organs. X youth who begins playing a mouth organ. or any other musical iustru- ment not usually regarded as the quintessence of art, will in time be- come discouraged about the possi- bilities of his instrument and take to better things, meanwhile having cultivated love for music. The glider which began making trip over the continent has astute manaeers who at least are frank They are said to have admitted thai the entire enterprise is done for publicity reasons.
 Newspaper editors are supposed to dislike publicity stunts, but nol when they involve glidcrs, alrplanet and such like. Which reminds Il; that ordinary publicity has littl: news value; but when it gets spec tacular enough it becomes news.

DEMOCRACY IN MASSACHUSE SETTS

Although the General Court in Massachusetts set it's face against repeal of the baby Nolstead act, thanks 10 more democracy in the Bay state than in many another including Connecticut-tha does not end it.
 Due to the initiative law in the state, the packers of the petition to repeal the state dry act need only to obtain 5000 additional signatures. when it will be placed on the bal lots in the next election. In other words. referendum will take place, there being no doubt that the ad- ditional signatures to the petition will be easily obtained.
 The General Court is supposed to represent the views Of the people; but as everyone knows, on som2 questions that is not the case. There is little doubt that sentim ent in Massach is in favor of re- pealing the state enforcement act, but in the House the vote against such action was 1H3 to 1l0 and iH the Senate 26 to II. That at least does not indicate an accurate re- flection of public sentiment.
 There are two liquor enforcement laws in Massachusetts. One makes it unlawful to sell liquor but does not concern manufacturing it, i'm porting it, or transporting. The other, adopted by referendum in 1924, makes it unlawful to manu- facture, import or transport liquor. The latter is the law which it is de- sired to repeal. If this is done, 1t would still be unlawful to sell li- ouor under the state law; and the federal law would still apply.
 In Connecticut the Rorabaek ma chine does not believe in the democracy Of referendums There Is q good reason.

CLERGYMAN SUCCUMBS
 AT CHURCH CONFERENCE
Rev. Lewis B. Codding Has Cerebral Hemorrhage at New London
 Was at Methodist Meetings.

New London, April {P - Rev. Lewis B. Codding of Cochessett, Mass, retired clergyman. here for the New England southern confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church, died last night at the Law renee and Memorial Associated hos pitals from a cerebral hemorrhage. He was 72 years old.
 Stricken at the parsonage of the Methodist Episcopal church, where he was the guest of the pastor, Rev. Charles E. spaulding. D. D.. and Mrs. Spaulding, Rev. MT. Codding was rushed to the hospital.
 The first hemorrhage was of minor nature, but about 6:45 o'clock last night he suffered a second and more serious hemorrhage and died immediately.
 Rev. MT. Codding was pastor of churches at Mystic and Noank from 1894 to 1896. His last pastorate was at Cochesett. He was born at Taun- ton, Mass. September c7, 1857, and was a graduate of Wesleyan uni versity. The body was taken by au- tomobile to Brockton, Mass, today.

 tableland jut the peaks, of which 70 are more than 24,o00 feet high. and not one of which has ever been conquered by man, although there have been many attempts. There arc hundreds of peaks in these moun- tains more than 10000 feet high, and these, too, have withstood the pretensions of mountaineers. Pike's Peak, 14,000 feet high, is dwarfed many scores of times along the D. GOO miles of the Asiatic highlands.
 Mount Kanchenjunga has been at- tempted three times. Four lives were sacrificed in 1905, when expert Swiss climbers tried it-and they only reached 21.000 of it aS,000 feet. Last year, Farmer. an American, was lost at approximately the same alti- tude, and at about the same time expert Bavarian Alpinists reached the same heiehth and survived. al- though some Of them were crippled by frost.
 The list Of climbers who unsuc- cessfully attempted to conquer the Himalayan peaks is long. and the tragic ends of some of them is blood -curdling reading. Particularly unfortunate have been the attempts to scale Mount Everest, which now, as before 1921, is immune from fur ther attempts until Tibetean tribes. men get over their suspicious regard ing the objects of strangers in mak- ing these attempts.
 Just what happens when human beings attain the heights of these mountains and then must combine extreme exertion through the snow and ice with the eXcruciating battle against lack of sufficient air, is de- scribed in books written by surviv- ors. At o3.OOO feet every step causes panting such as marathon run ner experience. at the end of his run. Every movement is pain. The normal pulse of 72 rises to 10S while perfectly still, and 10 IA with the slightest exertion. The heart pumps with a speed only equalled at ths end of an eXhausting foot race. Memory and reasoning are impair ed; frost bite and sunstroke come at the same moment. Taste and hear ing are gone. Raw threats, double vision, snow blindness, and an i'm pairment of bodily functions result. Meanwhile the thermometer is GUS. , lomarily at zero, terrific blizzards, ! with the wind blowing 100 miles an hour or more, harass the brave men defying nature. To climb few hun dred feet in a day is herculean un- dertaking.
 Yet Professor Dyhrenfurth and his men are happy at the prospect of attempting kanchenjunga. If anyone were to tell them they were committing suicide they would laugh.
 Perhaps the spirit of adventure, after all, is most pronounced in mountain climbing in the Himilayas Man has flown to the Poles, he has 1 flown across the Atlantic and across continents. he has conquered dis tance by speaking through the ait i over thousands of miles. But his vanity is piqued and his ego punc- 1 tured because in Asia there are sey- eral hundreds of peaks which havt consistently defied his assaults. Hs will continue to sacrifice himself until he has trod the roof of the world.
