WASHINGTON’S HEADQUARTERS

New Jersey House Made'rFamouH by the Father of His Country. Four miles from Princeton, N. J., stands one of the historic houses of the country. It is the Berrian farm house, made famous by the fact that it was occupied by Washington as his headquar-

ters during a part of the revolution. He lived there during the time that Congress held its sessions at Princeton and here Mrs. Washington entertained the notables of the land. The house has recently been overhauled by patriotic women. It contains many mementos of the patriot and is visited annually by hundreds of persons. France, with a population of 38,518,000, has a peace 'strength of 570,000; war strength, 4,660,000. Millions more could be called out If wanted, but, of course, they would be untrained.
