knowledge or approval. In order to reach
better ground he ordered a general retreat,
but failed to notify Washington Of his purpose.
He had almost reached high ground two and
half miles to the rear TO take his stand when
he was met by Washington.
Had 1t not been for Washingtons personal
presence and strenuous endeavors," states DIR.
Matteson. ''the effect Of the battle would have
been disastrous to American forces However,
Washington assisted by Lafayette, rallied the
troops and changed defeat into victory, though
it was too late to prevent continued retreat
and final safety Of CORVALLIS forces.
Lee was relieved Of his command and ordered
before a court-martial in his conduct in the
battle He was insolent in his correspondence

him of disobedience to orders misbehavior in

furniture for the most common uses. To a
gentleman who visited him in this forlorn
retreat where he found a kitchen in one
corner, bed in another, books in third,
saddles and harness IN q fourth, Lee said, Sir,
it is the most convenient and economical
establishment in the world. The lines of
chalk, which you see on the floor mark the
divisions of the apartments, and I can sit in

Gates offered his sword to Congress and was
appointed adjutant general with the rank of
brigadier. and he accompanied Washington to
the siege of Boston, where he did his best
work
After Montgomery was killed in the attack
on Quebec in 1776, 1t became a question of
who should succeed him as commander Of the
Canadian expedition. Various men were con-
sidered but it finally decided to put Gates
in command. BY that time the Army was in
retreat, and the Gates-Schuyler controversy
began. Gates claiming that his command was
not limited to the Army In Canada and
Schuyler claiming that he was In general
command and that Gates was his subordinate
Meanwhile Gates had been appointed major
general.
I'm the Summer of 1776 Gates was appointed
to supersede Schuyler in command of forces
operating against Burgoyne, and as that
commander he was given credit for the
surrender of Burgoyne, though the chances
are that the surrender DUE first. to
Schuylers plans and operations and. later,
to the intrepidity of men like Arnold and
Morgan. Gates, unfortunately, made a con-
vention with Burgoyne whereby the troops
were to be permitted to return to England on
condition they did not again participate
against American forces, which, of course. did
not make it at all impossible for them to be
substituted for other forces and sent back to
America. Congress refused to honor the con-
vention, and the soldiers, English, Highlanders,
and Germans, remained in captivity during
most of the war, many of them being held
near Winchester, in the Shenandoah Valley.
Depending upon the laurels thus won at
Saratoga, Gates became the center of an
intrigue against Washington, generally known
as the Conway cabal This was exposed
through letter Conway wrote to Gates and
which Gates aide discussed with an officer Of
Lord Stirling who told washington. The
nature of the cabal was such that 1t could not
stand exposure, and when Washington informed
Gates of his knowledge of it the cabal

Immediately collapsed Gates continued as
the center OF opposition in Congress against
Washington and was appointed head of the
Board of War: Later he retired from active
service and lived on his estate until 1880, when
he returned to active service and was placed
in command Of Southern forces without Wash
ington having control of his movements
r EN-. LEE who also was opposed to WASH
" ington, and was later his neighbor in
Virginia warned Gates at the time to beware
your Northern laurels do not turn to Southern
willows"
Making forced marches to reach Camden,
in his eagerness to engage the British, his men
living on apples, nuts and berries Gates
settled down within sight of CORVALLIS army
and spent four days in gainless skirmishing.
Had he advanced resolutely when he first
arrived, it is believed, he might have ad-
mnistered a sound thrashing to the British
general Had he retreated before CORVALLIS
prepared himself for determined attack, he
might have saved himself from utter rout.
But, as the toast reminds, che did neither.
The battle was sustained mainly by small
portion OF the troops, in which the regular
Maryland forces under Smallwood were
especially valiant, and it was in an attempt to
rally the troops that Maj. Gen. Baron de Kalb

Apartment House
For Modern Hens

Hens become laying machines and
nothing more in the new apartment
hen houses which are replacing the
old type single-story laying houses
on many many poultry farms, re-
ports the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Some of these new laying houses
are from two to six stories high ami
have a capacity Of several thousand
hens. The birds are confined in
these modern houses and are never
on the ground after they go into
the houses as pullets in the fall.
Special efforts are made to pro-
tect the health of the birds in these
egg factories. The windows are ar
ranged to allow the maximum
amount of sunlight in the house, ana
cod-liver oil is fed to provide Vita
Minis A and ID. Birds in large hous-
es are less affected by changes in
the weather than those in small
houses.
The successful management of
apartment laying houses requires
careful attention, the department
cautions. Rations must contain all
the essential ingredients, properly
balanced, because the hens have no
chance to supplement their feed with.
greens, minerals, or grain found on
the range. IN one of the depart
ment's experiments a slightly defi-
cient diet gave fairly good egg pro-
duction with hens on range, but gave
poor results when fed to hens con-
fined in houses.
Ventilation in large laying houses
is provided by mechanical ventilat..
ing systems. Many houses are in
sulated and are heated during he
cold months. It is absolutely neces-
ary, says the department, that large
houses of this type be kept clean and
sanitary, or losses will be great.
