Many Have Fait Free. There have been very many Individual Friends who have felt free to bear arms in this war as in previous wars. It was to be expected that, given the high aims of the United States in joining the allies, many young Friends should feel desirous of taking part in what waa proclaimed as a crusade In favor of a cause In which all believed. The official altitude of Quakers, both to the British isles and •n the United States, however, has found its most characteristic expression In the reconstruction work, which was undertaken promptly by English Friends, who began their work in France as early as November, 1914. A large representative committee in London has undertaken the effective direction of this work. A very targe sum of money has been raised, and great quantities of necessary goods and raw material* have been forwarded through the warehouses of the committee in London and in Paris. The work has been undertaken exclusively among the civilian population in the territory devastated to the battle of the Marne In 1914. This district strfgches directly east of Paris, between 'Chalons and the neighborhood of Barde-duc. back of

Captain Millard W. Mack, of Cincinnati, general agent In southern Ohi<f for the Northwestern Mutual Life insurance Company, to a letter to Isaac Pinkos, local representative of the company. with offices in the Occidental building, says ho has i*e«n presented to the king and queen uf England, and has explained to royalty in Britain, the purpose and the method uf insuring soldiers’ lives. The writer was in the life insurance busitaess in America for years but is now lecturing to soldiers on the

need of war risk insurance.

Captato Mack writes he has met courtesy everywhere in England He says; ‘The American uniform gives us entree everywhere. We are most cordially' received by the British, who co-operate

with us to the limit 1 King Wished to Hear More.

"It is certainly strange to see the women at work. I met hundreds of them during my trip, afid I know they are wholly sincere to the performance of

their duty.”

Captain Mack met the king in Guildhall. "I saw the kings party approaching," he writes; "and I selected what I thought was an advantageous position, and awaited their arrival. Then Sir Henry, who was walking with the king, stepped out and presented me to his majesty. I had In mind what I in-

tended to say, because J wanted his .... I majesty to know what the American you take this note to the cap's in the

‘ The king in turn presented me to her majesty with the remark: ’Have Captain Mack tell you of 1118 work.' 1 did. and pulled from the side pocket of my overcoat a folded piece of paper and my fountain pen which had been resting there quietly awaiting the moment when their majesties would consent to give

me their autographs.

"Holding these before her majestv. 1 said; 'Will you honor me with your autograph ?’ and she, looking toward the king, smilingly said. Yes.’ Then taking vhe paper and pen in her hands she said, 'I have nothing upon which to rest these.’ I called Sergeant Watty and said: Sergeant Watty, will you permit her majesty to use your back as a deskr and he stooped forward while tne queen placed the paper on his back and signed her name. ’Mary R., 1918.’ •The king. Sir Henry, the secret service men, the newspaper men all looked on. laughing and enjoying the incident, when quick as a Hash. I handed the pen and paper to the king. He signed.”

Kept Busy Talking.

Captain Mack writes he told a Joke to the majesties about two colored American fighters, who argued the advisability of taking the highest amount of insurance. The atory ended. “Rastus.

at the present time.

After the United Stgtes joined in the war. the Quakers in the United States, numbering more than 100,000, felt that they could no longer confine themselves to forwarding money to London, but must engage themselves personally to this work. This they did just a year ago. and during the last year there have gone from our country about 250 men and women workers to France, supported by contributions which have now risen to more than $500.(K». The effective and practical nature of the Friends’ work received its highest approval from the American Red Cross, which now also is working on the civilian problem in France. It will be readily understood that France itself Is unable to take care adequately at the present time of ahese numerous homeless families witnout help and support

from her allies.

Moral Support I® Chief. The Friends feel that the deeper significance of their work lies not in the temporary physical nature of their assistance, but in the moral support jmd sympathy which they as foreigners are extending to ‘the civilian populations with which they come in very intimate contact. There is abundant proof that this may lead not only to a very cordial international understanding, but to> a very deep-rooted sentiment of affection and good will. Such is the hope of the Society of Friends, and on this theory it pursues its interesting work. After the utility of the work in France had been demonstrated, a similar enterprise on a smaller scale was undertaken in the province of Samara in Russia. Tn this remote province north of th Caspian sea, a small unit of less than a score of men and women have been working for two years and a half. Tne refugee problem in Russia is stupendous, and may remain of difficult solution for a long time to come. With the disbanding of the Russian armies, the men of these refugee families have, of course, begun to return, and this has constituted a new feature of the problem which is.engaging attention at present.

Then, there is Doc. I’ve told you about him. before, I think He wears trimminV on his shoudler straps, but f'rry man in the ranks, senses as close fellowship with him. as though he were the veriest “buck-private" of them all! No man ever looked to Doc in vain for anything from brotherly advice to treatment for march-weary feet. The regulations demand that an officer know the physical eondltion of hi# men, as well as of himself. But Doc does more than that. Juat in the way in which you bound up your boy’a small cut* and bruises fifteen years ago, so does Doc look after him now. Doc knows every corn and blister to the company. No

man wears shoes too short nor has a

ASKS POLICE TO ASSIST. City Controller to Go After Dog Li-

cense Thxes.

Robert H. Bryson, city controller, today appealed to George V. Coffin, chief of police, to assist the controller’s office to get all that is coming to the city in

the way of dog license taxes.

In a letter to Chief Coffin the controller sets out that thus far only 2,900 dog licenses have been taken out The assessor of Center township alone, the controller points out has collected the township dog ^Xax on 6,500 dogs. It is estimated that the city should sell ap-

proximately 7,500 dog licenses.

The police are asked to begin a house-to-house canvass, and begin making arrests not later than August L The controller also asks that the police investigate junk peddlers and hucksters. All huckster licenses were due July 1. Junk peddler licenses were due January I. but a number of half-year licenses were

taken out. the controller says.

Find® Drink Similar to Champagne.

{Special to The Indianapolis News]

ANDERSON, Ind., July 30.—The chief of police of Anderson received word from the state laboratory of the state board of health at Indianapolis, today, that because of some improvements being made in the office it would be impossible to analyze a drink called cider, sent there from Anderson. The Anderson city chemist ha* begun an analysis of the drink, and the indications aye that a low grade of cider is being mixed with lemon extract, creating a drink similar to champagne. It was said the

(By Charles Dennis) Dearborn county, on the Ohio river, in the southeastern corner of Indiana, was named after Henry Dearborn, a revolutionary soldier, who, waa born at North Hampton, N. H., ; February 23, 1751. He was a descendant of Godfrey Dearborn, who came from Exeter, England and settled at Exeter. N. H., in •1639. - Young Dearborn had begun the practice of medicine, and in 1771, when a courier passed through North Hampton with the news of the battle of Lexing^ ton, he flamed with patriotic indignation. ^He immediately gathered sixty young men as volunteers and marched with them to Cambridge, Mass., sixtyfive miles distant, reaching that place the following morning. He was soon appointed a captain in Colonel John Stark’s regiment, and on June 17, 1776, took part in the batfte of Breed’s hill, after having marched across Charlestown neck under a galling fire. In September of the same year he aceempanied Arnold, afterward ihe traitor Benedict Arnold, In the expedition to Quebec. ‘ The troops suffered great hardships. Dearborn has left on record the fact that on the march the men were obliged to kHi and eat a dog, and that thtr dog, which belonged to him. was a great favorite while living, and peihaps was quite *s much of a favorite when it came to the eating of him. Dearborn was taken with a fever, and was left in a wayside cottage on the banks of the Chaudlere river without a physician. For ten days he was not expected to live, but he recovered and rejoined his company in time to assist at the attack on Quebec. In this action he was taken prisoner and held at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and not exchanged until the spring of 1777. He was then appointed a major, and received special mention in dispatches for hi* gallant conduct at Ticonderoga. Battle of Monmouth. At the battle of Monmouth, after Gen. Charles Lee's retreat, the regiment in which Dearborn was lieutenant-colonel made a splendid charge on the maifl line of the British, forcing them to flight. This spirited action attracted the notice of Washington. * “What troops are thoseT’ the com-mamder-in-chief inquired. And the answer came back in the thrilling tones of the young lieutenant-

colonel:

"Full-blooded Y'ankees from New Hampshire, sir!” At which even, the placid face of Washington was forced

into a smile.

Dearborn accompanied General Sullivan in expeditions against the Indians and was present at the surrender of Cornwallis. During 1782 he did garrison duty at the frontier post of Saratoga. At the close of the war he settled in Maine on the banks of the Kennebec river and

became a farmer.

Five vears later Washington appointed him United States marshal for Maine He was twice elected member of the congress, apd in 1801, on the accession of Jefferson to the presidency, he wa# appointed secretary of war, a position he held for e’-ht years, when he waa made collector of the port of Boston.

To Front Again.

The war of 111* brought Dearborn to the front again as a soldier and in February 1812, he was commissioned majorgeneral in the United States army. The following spring he captured York, in upper Canada, and Ft George: After the war he commanded the military dis-

trict of New York city.

In July, 1*22, he sailed for Lisbon having been appointed by President Monroe minister plenipotentiary to Portugal. After two vears he tendered his resignation and returned home. General Dearborn unfortunately did not have the same estimate of the courage and service of General Israel Putnam that has nerally prevailed. He published an acunt of the battle of Bunker Hill, in which he made charge# against Putnam. This engaged him in a bitter controversy with Putnam's son, Daniel Putnam, a controversy which has long since

been forgotten.

General Dearborn died at Roxbury,

Ma*#., June 6. 1829.

t Ordered Retreat

Against overwhelming numbers he ordered a retreat which he carried# through with the coolness and skill mt a veteran, bringing away all his command and sucessfuliy conveying them to Ft. George. He was at once commissioned captain and in 1758 returned hpme and married Elizabeth! Page. He returned to the front and served until the end of the so-called French war. He went to Cambridge after the battle of Lexington in 1775 and was commissioned a colonel. In one day he enlisted 800 men, and to the battle of Breed's hill, June 17, 1776, his regiment succeeded in repulsing three times its number of Welsh veterans who had bravely fought at Minden. He did noble service all through the revolutionary struggle but his most notable achievement was the winning of thft battle of Bennington in August, 1777. It was on the 16th of that month that Colonel Baum, the Hessian commander, encamped and erected a breastwork of logs. Under him were 200 Tories, 100 Canadian rangers, 100 of Frazer’s msrksmen, 60 chasseurs. 370 of Riedesei’s Hessians and 150 Indians. Stark's forces included about 1,750 men, of whom about 1,000 came from New Hampshire and 500 from Vermont, while Berkshire county, Massachusetts, provided the remainder. The only uniforms in Stark’s command were the frock’s with green facings of Herrick’s Green

Mountain Rangers. Memorable Address.

Stark's address to hls green a^lay of volunteers and militia has become memorable. "My men,” he said, "yonder are the Hessians. They were bought for 7 pounds and 16 pence a man. Are you worth more?" "We are, we are!” came in thunder tones the answer. Prove It! Tonight the American flag floats from yonder hill or Molly Stark (her name, however, waa Elizabeth)

sleeps a widow!”

Late in the afternoon Baum was reinforced by 600 or TOO Hessians but the deadly accuracy of the American marksmen decided the battle. The Americans lost about 106 men. Stark took In thia victory four brass cannon. l.OOe stand of arms,, 250 sabers, eight wagon loads of stores! four ammunition wagons and about 700 prisoners, exclusive of officers and servants There were 207 British and Hessians killed. This complete victory, by inspiring the Americans with greater confidence, ultimately led to the defeat of Burgoync

at Saratoga.

Public Office Declined. At the close of the war he declined all public office. In 1*18 the congress voted him a pension of $60 a month. The body of General Stark was buried en a small hill near the Merrirrac river where a granite obelisk bears the inscription: "Major-General Stark." On the anniversary of the battle in 1891 a limestone obelisk over 300 feet in height was dedicated at Bennington. General Stark died at Manchester, N. !L, May 1 1822, In the ninety-fourth-year of his age. Next to Genera!
