LEAGUE AT TROY

Rev. R. F.. Wick was at Troy over
Tuesday night completing the organi-

families who would otherwise not have

Few Wood-Carvcrs Left

As far back as 1000 B. G. we know
that people liked to cut designs In
wood with a sharp instrument, and
excavations in Egypt have shown that
people of that ancient time were skill
full at the art From that date on,
in almost every land, carving has been
widespread and popular nrt.
But today, In most parts OF the
world, wood carving exists only In the
hobby or pastime OF whiting The
hand working Of wood is too slow for
this rapid machine age. Only In
Switzerland. France and. to lesser
extent, England, does the art hold Its
place among other occupations, and
even In these countries there Is little
demand except for the work OF the
most famous carvers.

Splendid Records Made
by Old CIiDDer Ships

The clipper ships which were con-
structed for the California trade were
built with extreme care, although, as
far as possible. everything was sacri'
feed to speed, for freights were high
and prices depended upon the quick
ness with which goods could be de-
livered to the Pacific coast.
Clippers costing as high as $4,000
sometimes paid for themselves on their
first voyage. There is the story of
one old sea captain who was anxious
to carry sail rs long as possible and
padlocked his gear so that sailors
could not take In sail without orders
The Flying Cloud. which was built
In East Boston by Donald Mckay, was
one Of the fastest clippers ever
launched. She had a fgurehead Of an

trumpet. Her malnmast, including the
topmast and skysail pole, was 200 feet

Battle Of Trenton a
Brilliant Success

When George Washington marched
his 2400 cold, hungry and tired ragged
continentals" through the ice and snow
of Christmas night, 1776, crossed the
Delaware River with them in collec-
ton of small boats and barges, then in
a whirlwind attack that would not be
denied killed or captured the entire
British garrison at Trenton, he headed
an exploit which alone would have
been sufficient to establish him as
military leader of the first rank.
The 155th anniversary, we are in
formed by the United States George
Washington Bicentennial Commission,
of the battle of Trenton, coming on the
eve of the nationwide celebration of
the Two Hundredth Anniversary of
Washington's birth, turns the thoughts
Of all Americans toward that event.
which some have called the turning
point Of the Revolution.
The hopes and spirits Of Washing
toms soldiers had been considerably
crushed during the autumn and early
winter of 1776. The continental troops
had enlisted for only short time, and
the period of service for most of them
would expire with the end of the year.
Under the unpromising conditions then
prevailing Washington knew that few
of the men would be willing to re-en-
list. That meant the loss of his expert
enced and most valuable troops.
What made the situation even worse
was the fact that the enthusiasm Of
the entire country was waning, and
with therebb the possibility of obtaining
new recruits was correspondingly les
sened.
Even General Howe in his comfort
able winter quarters in New York City
believed that the Americans were in
capable Of further opposition and set
tied down to enjoy himself as much
as possible while the Revolution was
frozen and starved out by the winter
General Washington saw the need OF
d decisive stroke which would restore
the confidence of the troops and the
entire country. He knew that England
could never beat patriots who were
determined to be Free so he went about
the task Of winning victory which
would renew the determination with
which the war was first undertaken.
The best chance lay at Trenton which
was garrisoned by Hessian mercenaries
under the command Of Colonel Rail-
Having no idea that the foe across the
Delaware river would want to fight
during the festive Christmas season,
the Germans forgot the war and cele-
brated. Rail so completely underesti-
mated the mettle Of his adversary that
he refused even to erect Notifications
Of any sort On the other hand, Wash
ington took the correct measure of Rail-
when he decided to attack Trenton
He caught the Hessians unawares in
the midst of their revelries The Amer
lean victory was certainty and it took
only few minutes of actual fight
ing to convince the enemy of this fact.
The heroism of Washington's men
has been memorialized in countless
tributes, and every American is fami-
liar with the details of that march in
the December blizzard and the danger
