bad that thousands of men were UNIT for
military duties because of Illness and by
the time the long, desperate winter of
1777-8 was over, 5000 had died from the
terrible privations. For the first six nights
at Valley Forge, Washington refused to take
shelter, insisting his men must be properly
taken care of first. Throughout the whole
ordeal, his courage and example were
largely responsible for preserving both the
army and its cause, until spring brought
new levies and new hope.
Today the site of Valley Forge is main
tanned as a shrine by the State of Penn
sylvania. While many tourists have visited
the site in good weather, few have ventured
there under the same wintry conditions
which the Continental Army faced. These
pictures show what winter is like at Valley
Forge memorials, as seen by young cadets
from a nearby military academy. who
followed the footsteps of Washington.

occasion of Washingtons Birthday to think
back to an earlier and more terrible season

the fate of nation depended upon a

their commander, George Washington,
wrote, Naked and starving as they are, we
cannot enough admire the incompatible
patience and fidelity of the soldiery"
With Continental Army 1000 strong,
Washington had suffered setbacks at
Brandywine and Germantown and had to
direct a long, painful retreat, first to
Whitemarsh, then to Valley Forge. Cut off

he takes off his spectac1es, squints,

After a while there was some
commotion around a speaker, who
got all the laughs by not saying a
thing. He stood on his stand, oc-
casionally grasping it firmly to
keep from falling off. His long,
coarse yellowish hair fell down
over his eyes, and he was a sorry
sight. At times. it was as though
he would venture to open his
mouth and speak, but words failed
him. He merely looked sadly at his
onlookers, who revelled in his COM
edy of manners. And comedy it
was when he finally raised his
right arm only to have to throw
back the falling avalanche of his
unruly crop of hair, and hurriedly
tuck in the long shirtsleeve as
much as he could in his embarass-
ingly short coatsleeve. Then as

us as in a novel, with characters
stranger than fiction. And what

the simple fact that anyone could
say virtually anything without
fearing anything from anybody.

IF Your Imperial Majesty will
condescend to take your clothes
off, said the swindlers, I'VE will
help you on with your new ones
here in front of the long mirror"
The Emperor undressed, and the
swindlers pretended to put his new
clothes on him, one garment after
another. They took him around the
waist and seemed to be fastening
something-that was his train
as the Emperor turned round and
round before the looking glass.
How we'll Your Majesty's new
clothes look. Aren't they becom"
ing!" He heard on all sides, THAT;
pattern, so perfect! Those colors.
SO suitable! It is a magnificent

Then the minister of public pro.

for one last look in the mirror. 1T

seemed to regard his costume with

So off went the Emperor i'll
procession under his splendid can

the windows said, ooh, how fine
are the Emperor's new clothes!
Don't they fit him to perfection?
And see his long train!" Nobody
would confess that he couldn't see
anything, for that would prove
him either unfit for his position,
or fool. No costume the Emperor
had worn before was ever such a
complete success.
But he hasn't got anything on"
a little child said.
Did you ever hear such inno-
cent prattle? said its father. And
one person whispered to another
what the child had said He hasn't

cried out at last.
The Emperor shivered, for he
suspected they were right. But he
thought, This procession has got

proudly than ever, as his noblemen

thow the work progressed and how
soon it would be ready. The same
thing happened to him that had
happened to the minister. He
looked and he looked, but as there
was nothing to see in the looms
he couldn't see anything.
isn't it beautiful piece of
goods ?" the swindlers asked him,
as they displayed and described
their imaginary pattern.
II know I'm not stupid" the
man thought, 80 it must be that
I'm unworthy of my good office.
That's strange. I mustn't let any,
one find it out, though" So he
praised the material he did not see.
He declared he was delighted with
the beautiful colors and the exquis-
lite pattern. To the Emperor he
said, 1T held me spellbound."
All the town was talking of this
splendid cloth, and the Emperor
wanted to see it for himself while
it was still on the looms. Attended
by a band of chosen men, among
whom were his two old trusted
officials-the ones who had been
to the weaver--he set out to see
the two swindlers. He found them
weaving with might and main, but
without a thread in their looms.
Magnificent" said the two Of
ficials already duped. Just look,
Your Majesty, what colors! What
a design!H They pointed to the
empty looms, each supposing that
the others could see the stuff.
What's this?" thought the EN-
peror. Il can't see anything. This
is terrible! Am I a fool? Am I
unfit to be the Emperor? What a
thing to happen to me of all
people! oh! it's very pretty" he
said. 1T has my highest approval"
And he nodded appreciation at the
empty loom. Nothing could make
him say that he couldn't see any,
thing.
His whole retinue stared and
stared. One saw no more than an
other, but they all joined the En-
peror in eXclaiming, On! It's very
pretty and they advised him to
wear clothes made of this wonder
full cloth especially for the great
procession he was soon to lead.
Magnificent! Excellent! Unsur-
passed." were banded from mouth
to mouth, and everyone did his best
to seem well pleased. The Emperor
gave each of the swindlers a cross
to wear in his buttonhole, and the
title of Sir Weaver"
Before the procession the swindl-
ers sat up all night and burned
more than sixteen candles, to show
how busy they were finishing the
Emperors new clothes. They pre-
tended to take the cloth off the
loom. They made cuts in the air
with huge scissors. And at last
they said, Now the Emperor's
new clothes are ready for him."
Then the Emperor himself came
with his noblest noblemen, and the
swindlers each raised an arm as if
they were holding something They
said, These are the trousers,

Northern brothers, the English are
