He left CORVALLIS In charge of
tho Southern army.
CORVALLIS defeated Gates heav-
lily ut Camden and ended the ca

Greene was sent South to take
his place and was defeated.
But" Wrote Greene,
"tce fight, get beat and

Then came Arnold, south to
Virginia. with his two thousand
plunderers as Richard Henry Lee
called them.
Then came Lafayette to take
Arnold's place and CORVALLIS pur-
sued him declaring:
"The boy cannot escape
me-"
WASHINGTON finally con-
w cluded that II was time for
himself personally to take q hand
In the southern conflict.
The British forces were divided
into two parts,-One part in New
York under Clinton and one in
Virginia under CORVALLIS.
Washington decided to with
draw his army from White Plains
secretly tosunite it with the Amer
lean forces In Virginia, and to deal
CORVALLIS an overwhelming blow.
1t was necessary to deceive the
enemy by apparently planning an
attack on Staten Island.
Washington later wrote:
THAT much trouble Wds

misguide and be1Uilder Sir
Henry Clinton in regard to
the real object by fictitious
communications as WeI as

vision of ovens, forage and

"Nor Were less pains
taken to deceive our OWn

Washington wanted no more be-
trayals by disloyal fifth column
nists.
Washington, when the deception
was complete, leaving only a few
Of his men ut White Plains, hur-
ried into Virginia.
CORVALLIS was then at York

shrewd purpose to capture him
before he could be reinforced by
Clinton.

the decisive battle of the war.

him and was further surprised by
the appearance of the French fleet

His retreat was cut off in both
directions by land and by sea.

Washington slept on the ground
without covering with the root of

Map Fight
Aid Bill
BY STANLEY CARROLL
Init News Service stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Sen-
ate Observation-Disclosures. at a
series Of conferences, made plans
for an intensive campaign to carry
to the people their battle against
President Roosevelt's lend-lease
bill for aid to nations fighting
aggressors.
Outstanding developments in
cluded:
THE non-i nterven tionists
L agreed to have Senator
Arthur III. yandenberg (R) of
Michigan lead the Senate Re-
publicans opposing the "Iend-
lease" bill.
Ex-senator Burton X. Wheeler
- Cd of Montana charged
that President Roosevelt. In his
recent "fireside chat and
address to Congress, "repudi-
ated the peace plank" in the
1910 Democratic Party platform.
Ex-senator Hiram johnson (R)
- of California announced
that he will go on a nationwide
radio hOokup within a week"
to take the issue to the
country"
WHEELER CLAIMS 25 VOTES
Senator Wheeler declared that
there are a minimum of 25 votes
against the lend-lease bill in the
Senate land that number is
growing"
Declaring "it was significant
that the President. when pledging
he would not send an expedi-
tionary force to Europe. "made no
promise that he would not send
battleships and planes. manned by
Americans" Wheeler said:
1T should be remembered
that Mr.. ROosevelt's lieutenants
at the 1910 Democratic national
convention, including Vice Presi-
dent-elect Wallace, fought the
peace plank. both In the sub
committee and in the full COM
mittee.
mot until the closing days of
the campaign, when the election
seemed In some doubt, did the
President take the platform to
his bosom and. In a Philadelphia
speech, say he was standing on
that platform"
INFLAMING THE PUBLIC
Wheeler charged that. since the
election. the fireside chat and
message 10 Congress repudiated
the peace plank and that neither
could be construed otherwise than
as intended to inflame the public
mind and brighten the people into
believing this nation was in danger
of immediate attack and must give

dent and accept war program at

But II leaves I'm our hands
the power to determine at the
time when the munitions are
completed. the country which
shall receive them, and thus to
insure that this vital decision is
m d e solely In the interests
of the defense OF the United
States"
Celebrating on his theme o
greater danger now to the Unitet
States than in 1917, he said tina
the Italian and japanese navie
were then aligned with Britain.
To-day Italy and Japan are
members of the German Axis"
Stimson said. France Is con-
quered and her feet Is incapable
OF opposing the central powers.
The British feet today stands as
an obstacle to German control
OF the Atlantic"
The secretary also said that il
1917 the munition factories an,
supplies of Britain and Franc
were so abundant that they sup
piled this country with the grea
bulk of weapons which the Unite
States then needed.
ARSENALS FOR GERMANY
To-day many arsenals in con-
quered countries such as France
are at the service-ef the Axis
nations" Stimson pointed out.
"And Great Britain, far from
being In a position to come to
our assistance with munitions. Is
compelled to enter our markets
for a substantial quantity of
weapons for her own USE.
Instead of being assisted by
other nations In obtaining the
weapons needed for our defense,
we are oblig ed to prepare our
defense In consideration of their
needs.
at Is imperative that our
American industry be working
a. top speed to furnish vital
weapons of defense TO Great
Britain In order that she may
meet the crisis which Is con-
fronting her this Spring and
Summer. and thus preserve her
fleet as a bulwark In the At

These long-range protective pur-

new models which will undertake
TO surpass the defensive record of
the Spitfires and Hurricanes in the
battle of Britain. Some of these
long-rangers will be American Re-
publics, more will be an English
design equivalent to the Wanted

The balance of the new fighters
will operate to kill, as effectively
as the first attack was killed. the
second Battle of Britain, expected
this Spring.
These models will include the
American Curtiss P-40. Brewster,
Gruman. Lockheed P-3S. and the

STEP UP DOGFIGHTs

Dogfights are going to be more
vicious than ever this Spring with
speeds around 500 miles per hour
and both sides using machineguns
only as secondary equipment TO
numerous cannon. The Bell. with
the heaviest cannon Of all, and
heavy machineguns mounted in
number, promises to be the fastest
and heaviest hitter of any Allied
or German aircraft, including the
new Messerschmidts and Heinkel
113's
To be effective. American pro-
duction must speed up and surpass
the pitiful dribble of 240 planes
per month exported TO England.
The air var over the channel will
be won on California ana New
York production lines.
1t is also obvious that American
designs must be improved upon TO
eliminate the necessity of the Eng
lish modifying most of our planes
from second to first line equip
ment.
Several of the new. model fight
ers will also operate by night. but
neither side yet has the answer to
night bombing. and terrorizing
during the hours of Europe's dark
ness will continue. but, at last,
evenly effective for both sides.

BY PRUDENCE PENNY

MANY OF us are fond Of
Chinese dishes but have felt
that the proper preparation OF
these foods is an art far beyond
our reach. It's not, because with
good authentic recipes there's no
reason why palatable. enticing
combinations of this type can
not be easily and quickly be
prepared in our own homes.
The particular favorite is chop
suey. Around the history of this
well known delicacy is woven an
interesting little tale. Years ago,
when Ii Yuan Hung was min
lister to America, he wanted TO
entertain the diplomats and
other dignitaries at dinner in
the true style Of his native
country.
In those days in Washington.
II was impossible to obtain the
necessary articles, such as shark
fins and birds nests TO prepare a
typical Oriental dinner. The
chef, therefore. was compelled
TO produce new menu using
American and Oriental foods
combined.
Piece de Resistance
When the dinner was served
the minister was greatly disap-
pointed until the last dish was
brought in. The guests were de-
lighted and wanted to know
what il was The minister didn't
know himself so he sent for the
cook and asked the name of the
preparation. Poor fellow, he had
no idea. but had TO say some
thing. The first thing that came
to his mind was chop suey-
which means mixing up little
pieces.
A recipe for this tempting
dish, discovered by chef so long
ago. is given below. Accompany
ing are additional ones for other
Far East favorites.
