During the course of this duty the Philadel-

swarmed about the ship and her commander,
Capt. Richard Banbridge, forced to sur

prevent her falling in the enemy's hands, but
failed. He and his men were thrown in dun

had the Philadelphia refitted and ready for ac-

indicated that the latter was to head the peril
Gus expedition he had projected. Prebe first
had thought that re-capture of the Philadelphia
would be possible, but upon mature considera-
tion resolved that her destruction was the only
course. Plans were carefully worked out, and
finally Decatur received these instructions from
his commander

Washington anticipated the
subtle distinction drawn by Ben

It is hardly necessary to
amplify this appreciation. Wash
fngton made himself successfully
the first farmer, the first soldier,
and the first statesman in his
country; and he did so. less by
the exercise of brilliant gifts. or
by the weight of profound learn

character. by a scrupulous recti-
tude, and by a Steadfast integrity
in public and private life.
These characteristics rendered
his authority unshakeable in his
day, and ever since have afforded,
to England as we'll as to the
United States, a rare example of
excellence in the conduct of pub

All the Italian newspapers and

Similar celebrations were held in

only has exhibited the Lafayette

collection prepared by Hon. Sol
Bloom. the active and efficient di-
rector of the Bicentennial Com

me the opportunity of remember

whole world.
Our celebration, therefore,
while taking on in some as
poets an intimate character,
inherent in all home COM
munities, must not be merely
local, nor provincial in its
scope. We must inSpirt all
Americans with a desire to
visit their National Capital,
for, after all, Washington is

the sword, given to General La

greSs in 1779, is now owned by
my countryman, Count Perrone

General Lafayette through his an

The volume will be published
through the endeavors Of the enli-

The book contains a half dozen
historical essays, written by COM
