SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Back to Valley Forge!
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS, DID.
Chaplain Of the United states Senate

Christmas and New Year at
Valley Forge. And what a
Christmas it was in l777!
And what agony the winter
months Of 1778 held! Every
American child is taught
the legend of the tattered
troops as the cause of free
dom for the Colonies hung
by a thread during that six
months encampment at VAL
ley Forge.
The hungry, cold, and brok-
en- troops which Washington
led to Valley Forge num-
bered 10000. 1t was an army
ill-fed, ill-housed, ill-armed,
and ill-trained. Desertions
constantly crippled the al
ready puny strength of the
battalions Of miserable men.
In one hospital which con-
tained $50 beds more than a
thousand sick soldiers were
housed. Naturally, there were
heard murmurs about their
hard lot. Yet those who re-
fused to falter inspired Wash
ington to declare Of his men
at Valley Forge, as he ap-
pealed to Congress to supply
their dire needs: ITO see
men without clothes to cover
their nakedness, without
blankets to lie on, without
shoes, their marches traced
by the blood from their feet
as they go through the frost
and snow, without provisions,
and yet submitting to it with
out complaint, is proof of pa
tience and obedience which
in my opinion can scarcely be
paralleled.
At Valley Forge the cru
SADIE whose banner had been
raised in the city only 20
miles away reached it's low
est ebb. Philadelphia was oc-
cupied by an enemy who
Knocked at the now muted
Liberty Bell. For the Red
coats, in winter quarters, life
was marked by gayety, rev.
elry, balls, concerts, and food
abundant. When the British
were ready, and Spring
tripped north, this futile Co.
lonial revolt would be
crushed! 1t was like Goliath
gloating at little David. So
they anticipated. And why
not? The frozen ground of
Valley Forge was the emblem
of frozen hopes.
With reverSes, hundreds of
Tories openly became cheer
leaders for the British task
masters. Even the elected d
Representatives of the peo-
Pile, in Congress. seemed blind
so far as necessary resources
if WaShington's Army was to
be saved from disintegrating.
Cheap and ambitious politi-
clans were having their say
and their way. There were
detractors and even traitors
among Washington's inner
circle of advisers. A we'll
known clergyman, who had
acted as chaplain at the Con-
tinental Congress as he Of
fered daily fervent prayer
for the success of the daring
venture, proved a gutter. In
the name of patriotism and
religion he urged Washing
ton to come to his senses
and realize the impossibility
of victory. He strongly advised
the Commander to make the
best bargain the RedcoatS
would accept, to call off the
rebellion with its horrible
cost. Washington's indignant
reply to this turncoat was
colder than the Valley Forge
winter.
Yet it was in such a sit
uation that the pattern was
set for final victory. 1t is
no eXaggeration to say that
the Revolution was really
won at Valley Forge during
those 100 days of torture.
What the final success of
the Revolution gave was a

McGM on the Law

Ralph McGill compares
"the law" to a giant steam
locomotive with bell and
whistle sounding at grade
crossings as if to say:
Get out of the way, poor
white trash and business
men!"
Mr.. McGill is entitled to
his opinions. but isn't he get
ting ahead of "the law" here?
There are nine justices on
the Supreme Court, and it
would be interesting to know
how Mr.. McGill can say-in
advance-how the nine, or a
majority, will vote when the
question reaches them. They
lodged the issue in the Baton
Rouge case, all except Justice
Douglas, who might be out
on a limb in this case. He
says:
"One can close the doors
of his home to anyone he de-
sires. But one who operates
an enterprise under a license
from the Government enjoys
a privilege that derives from
the people"
Privilege, but not a COM
mand to sell, yes. A license is
a permit but I never knew of
it being construed as a COM
mand before this. And it will
depend on the Judgment of
the best five out of nine JUS
tices. Anyway, not much else
could have been expected
from Mr.. Justice Douglas.
Both Mr.. McGill and JUS
tice Douglas are way ahead of
the hounds, but I don't know
if it's worth a postage stamp
to point this out in today's
world.

A grave threat to the
archives of the Government
was reported by The Star
of December 81, 1911, when
Congress discovered that a
poor grade of paper was be-
ing used by the Government
Printing Office--so inferior
that Federal records prob
ably would crumble and be-
come unreadable in less than
100 years. The paper adul-
teration was accomplished by
the substitution of clay for
the more substantial wood or
rag fiberS. A congressional
committee has been at work
trying to bring about a re-
form and Standardization Of
paper purchased for the Gov
ernment in the amount of
more than 81 million yearly.
The public printer was au-
thorized to advertise for bids
on Is million pounds of bet
ter paper. A large guam
tity of cheap paper also will
be purchased to be used in
the printing of Congress
mems speeches the coming
campaign year. as members
themselves have to pay for
this. ;"

Baseball's hot stove league
was sizzling so years ago
with tales of the prowess of
Washington's new manager,
Clark Griffith. The Star of
December 81, 1911, said Grif-
fifth was believed to be the
only pitcher who had ever
struck out Ty Cobb four con-
secutive times in a game. He
did this in 1905. "All Griff
had was nerve, good control
and a most deceptive slow
ball. He struck Cobb out the
first time on three slow ones,
with a change of pace in be-
tween. He repeated this the
second time. The third time
at bat, Cobb, believing Griff
had nothing else, got set and
went down on three curves.
Having Ty completely baffled
by then, Griff sent him back
to the bench the fourth time
by firing three fast balls over
the center of the plate. :"
