4 « _By ELMO SCOTT WATSON FOR the last tw«> years aewquicentennlal celebrations, co in tue moral Ing the one hundred tlftieth anniversary of various battles, campaigns and other episodes of the Revolution. mmbhmm have been held in many states along she Atlantic seaboard. A high spot >T|pJrj3 ’h** year when New York observes the anniversary of several battles tn the Saratoga campaign which was the turning point in the struggle for freedom. But the East cannot claim all of the honors in tevalling the stirring deeds of a century and a half ago, for the Middle West can point to its part to, the fight for independence and can justly claim that It was no small part, either Although the time for its sesqulcentennial celebrations are more than a year away, plans are already being nmde for their observance on a big scale. Indiana and Illinois are taking the lead in these plans because the events to be commemorated took place upon their soil, but the citisena of other states in the Old Northwest—Ohio’ Kentucky. Michigan and Wisconsin—are just as keenly interested because those events are a part of their heritage, too. So Important to the United States as a whole were these happenings that the celebrations which are to take place at Cahokia. HI., and Vincennes. Ind.. In IW2S and 1928 are ot nation wide interest. And the inspiration for ali of this will be the memory.of one man. a ’Virginian named Georgs Rogers Clark. It was he who won the Old Northwest for the United States by as daring a campaign as Is recorded In all history, thereby fixing the western boundary line of the new Republic at the Mississippi river Instead of along the Allegheny mountains and made it possible for the American flag to march westward until it had reached the Pacific. The story of t'lark’s campaign is one of the most dramatic In American history. It. Is the story of. how this twenty-five year-old Virginian, who was living in Kentucky! in 1V76, saw that the struggling settlements in that state were doomed to be wiped out by the raldh of Indians, sent out by Gov. Henry Hamilton, the British commandant In the Old Northwest, unless something was done about IL He did not wait fOr some one else to do IL He got busy himself. The Kentucky country belonged to Virginia, and ('lark returned to Virginia to lay before Gov. Patrick Henry his plan for carrying the war to the British by an expedition against the British posts at Kaskaskia. Ui.. Vln- ' cennes Ind: and DetrolL Mich ' Governor Henry appointed him a lieutenant colonel and gave him authority to enlist men for the expedition. 8o June 24. 1778. found Clark with a force of 180 Kentucky frontiersmen setting out from Louisville on hia march against Kaskaskia. He captured Kaskaskia by surprise and on July 4 raised the Stars and Stripes over what is now Illiuola He made friends with the French, bluffed the Indiana to a standstill and Vincennes and Cahokia were soon In his power. However, tn December Hamilton swooped down from Detroit and recaptured Vincennes and made plans for proceeding agalnjst <lark at Kaskaskia in the apring. But Clark did not watt to be attacked. In February he set out for Vincennes with 1W of his own men and 70 French volunteers. Then began one of the most wonderful marches in history. The whole country was flooded and for 17 days Clark and his men. enduring almost unheard-of hardships, waded through the icy water. Finally, the half-starved, exhausted little army arrived at Vincennes and laid siege to Fort RackvUle. On February 24 Clark forced Hamilton's unconditional surrender and the Old Northwest was won for the United States forever. Bo Illinois Is planning to bold In 1928 a milltondojlar exposition on the common fields of ancient Cahokia, once the trade center of the upper Mis ralsalppt valley, and at a recent conference of state legislators and buatnesa men of southwestern Illinois a budget of Siae.ow was agreed upon to finance the building of the exposition city and to erect memorials to Clark and to Father Pierre Utbault. the French priest who helped Clark. In Indiana similar activity la under way. A George Rogers Clark Seaqiiicentennlal commission has been organised whose principal purpose is the celebration in 1929 of the anniversary of Clark's capture of Fort Sackvtlle at Vincennes where a magnificent Clark memorial will be erected. The city of Vincennes already baa authorised a bond issue of *40.000 to purchase the site of Fort Sack, vllle upon which the memorial will be erected. Thia memorial hall will contain a series of murals depleting the scenes of Clark’s campaign and will be surrounded by a memorial park, connected by a boulevard with the Gen. William Henry Harrison, first governor 6f Indiana and the ninth

President of the United States. President Coolidge has been Invited to dedicate the building as a national shrine and plans are also being made by the commission for a series of historical pageants and for other celebrations at various places in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois where events of Clark’s exp4»dltlon took place. Historians have been almost unanimous tn the belief that never has the proverbial Ingratitude of republics been better Illustrated than in the case of George Kogers Clark. For ail that his achievement placed the nation tn his everlasting debt, that nation allowed him to die In poverty and neglect. It would have been no more than right that one of the states carved out of the territory which he won should bear his name. But none of them does. Streets, towns and counties In some of the states bear his name, but., considering his historical lm;»ortance. the number of monuments erected to his memory is surprik Ingly few. But if the present plans for the seequl.vntenulal celebrations are carried through some measure of the tsrdy honor which be deserves will have been paid. It Is eminently fitting, too. that there should have appeared recently the most complete and authoritative biography of thia military genius which has yet been written. That is the book. “George Rogers Clark.” by Temple Bodley. publiahed by Houghton-Mifflin company of Boston. Clark’s outstanding early military services have often been described; but later ones, hardly less important and demanding fiar more of patriotic sacrifice, have rarely or never been noticed. It is the record of these services which forms a large part of Mr. Bodley’s book. It Is shameful enough that the United States should hive allowed a man to whom it owed so much to "die in want. It i» shameful enough that he should have been so soon forgotten by those who have best cause to remember him. But it is even more shameful that some historians have cruelly miarepreaented Clark and defamed bis memory because as an embittered old man he fell into bad habits and allowed his name to become associated with certain projects which bordered closely upon treason So another t aloe of Mr. Bodley’s book Is his refutation of aome of these slanders, especially f bis expose of the plot by that arch conspirator. Gen. James Wilkinson, against ('lark. It is n<» far-fetched analogy to compare dark to the outstanding figure In the American Revolution and to call him the "Washington of the West." There are many curious similarities in their careers. Washington was born in 1782; (lark in 1752. Both were natives of Virginia and both were surveyors beyond the frontier In their young manhood. Roth had their first military experience and were prepared for the great conflict later by participation in Indian want—Washington la th* French and Indian war of Clark in Lokd Punmore'i war in 1774. But It is as th* military genius and the leader of men that they are moat alike. Courage, audacity, quickness to resltxe sn opportunity and quickness to seise It—these were the qualities which they shared as military leaders. Washing inn's Trenton and Princeton campaign and t'lark’s march against Vincennes illustrate tlielr realization of the Imitortance of striking the enemy Instead of waiting for him to strike you. and the fact that the secret of military success Is. in the words of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, the famous Confederate cavalry leader, to “git thar fust with the moatret men”—-only ia these cases the “mostest" meant using inferior forces most effectively.

THE SFRACrSF JOTTRNAT,

For the achievements of .Washington and Clark are the more remarkable when one considers the inadequate means with which they were accomplished. But again they illustrate the old saying “better an army of rabbits led by a lion than an army of lions led by a rabbit." What they lacked In numbers at their disposal was more than made up for by the force of their personalities which caused men to follow them through unheard-of privations and against what seemed to be overwhelming odds. Truly were George Washington and George Rogers Clark leaders of men In fee . truest sense of the word. If Valley Forge was Washington's Gethsemane, where he suffered agony of soul at the sight of his starving men leaving their blood-stained footprints on the snow, then the Drowned Lands of the Wabash was a Via Crucls for Clark along which he led a shivering. exhausted group of men tn whom the spark of life was all but extinct. In some respects fee greatness of Clark as a leader exceeds that" of Washington. The Continentals who enlisted under Washington had more to gain and less to lose than the frontiersmen of Kentucky who cast their lot with Clark. If the former won a great victory, the whole Atlantic seaboard would ring with their valor and their might. If they lost, a British prison camp—bad though tiiat frequently was—was the worst that confronted them and there was always the possibility of parole or exchange. If Clark's borderers won, it would be weeks before news of the victory could reach the colonies and even then, | so little did the trans-Allegheny region mean to the average man of Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or Virginia, the victory would be almost unnoticed, i If they lost —for them the torture stake of the Indian allies of Governor Hamilton, “the Hairt Buyer General’’ and a horde of red demons sweep- ; ing down upon the stockaded forts of Kentucky behind whose walls were the women and children . whom they had left behind them when they marched away. That Clark could hold his men to , their task and make them follow him in an ' attempt which semed foolhardy Is the best test!- j monlal of the greatness of the man. If only the comparison of these two men could end with Clark, the victor, raising the Stars and Stripes over Fort Sackvilla in Vincennes, and Washington, the victor, setting the colonies in a frenzy of joy with the news of Trenton and Princeton! But unfortunately it does not end i there. Clark's great objective was Detroit, but i he could never assemble a sufficient force to enable him to take that posL Although Virginia promoted him to brigadier general and presented him with a sword (a second-hand one. by the way), he never enjoyed a commission tn the Continental service and his qualities of leadership were unnoticed- Finally he was dismissed from the Virginia service on the plea of poverty of that state. Virginia did give him a 16,009-acre grant of land in the territory be bad won for it. but lie was “land-poor.” He bad spent all of his own private funds and much besides which he had obtained from Father Gibault and Francis Vigo, the Spanish trader, tn paying hla men and for years he sought to obtain a settlement of these claims against the state. Virginia, instead of settling the claims, sent him another sword! Hark thrust it into the ground, broke It off at the hilt and - threw the pieces away with the bitter remark. “When Virginia wanted a sword 1 gave her mine. Now she sends me a toy. 1 want breed!" Four years before he died he was stricken with parfllysls. He spent his last days in the home of his sister. Mrs. Croghan, near Louisville. Ky. There on February 13. 1818. he died at the age of sixty-alx. a lonely, broken, embittered old man. Contrast with that the career of Washington. Princeton and Trenton led to Yorktown and victory. When the new Republic was founded the hero of the Revolution became its first President. He died In 1799 at the age of sixty-seven, first tn war, first In peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen" and honored throughout the wwld. George Washington won tn his great objective. The years haveaadded to his fame. George Rogers Clark failed in his objective. He has almost been forgotten.

THE MOST POPULAR GIRL

By GERTRUDE SHERIDAN (Copyright by VT. Q. Chapmoo.) THERE was plenty to interest Vera Dane when she arrived at Wardville to rest up from city social duties at the home of her bright pretty cousin. Olga Wolcott. For one thing, a local department store was offering a five-hundred-dol-lar piano to the winner in a voting contest as to the most popular girl in Wardville. “It's settled beforehand." spoke Olga indignantly. “You have heard me speak of Blanche Ridgeley. She prides herself as the exclusive queen of th* so-called ekcluslve upper-crust set of the district. She has cut me as too humble, or rather with too much openness in my opinions to accord with the artificial and superficial views of her group. I fear the taboo, as a relative of my poor discredited self, will extend *to you also." Vera shrugged her shoulders very indifferently. “My dear.” she said, “that will not give me any anxiety. I have come here to rest. I long for a good full two weeks of bird song, sunshine and rest. So much do I crave it. that not one of my friends outside of the direct family kin know where I am.” Olga gaxed thoughtfully at her cousin. She admired Vera and was proud of her. Olga’s lips curled scornfully as she contrasted this acknowledged leader of a chosen metropolitan social circle with the petty aspirations of Miss Blanche Ridgeley. A hope had come into ber mind that Vera might be incited* to reveal her real aristocratic and rally around her a select group, “just to show that Imteful upstart what real social distinction meant. ” V F a 's announcement. however, effectually set aside her plans. It was destined that Vera should be aroused from her indifference within the next few days. She accompanied Olga to have a skirt fitted by a Miss Rose Tyler. The dressmaker's little workrooms were In a poor part of the town, and- as the small car drew up at its front Olga elevated her eyebrows at the sight of a showy automobile drawn up to the curb. “We are favored.” she observed satirically, “that is the grand Ridgeley turnout." They entered the front room of the little shop to be met by one of Miss Tyler's assistants, who requested them to be seated, as her employer was engaged in the fitting room. Thence in a few moments there emanated the echo of a sharp and angry voice, feminine but rasping. It suggested the malignant onslaught of some tyrovirago berating an Inferior under the spell of meekness or fear. “Some more of the admirable Lady Ridgeley!” observed Olga in a whisper to her companion, and just then the delectable lady leader of high society in Wardville flaunted out. her features distorted with a rage: that showed evil depths in that perverse nature. Miss Ridgeley nodded crisply to Olga, stared insolently at Vera, and Vera’s eyes flashed as the ill-natured aristocrat swept out to her waiting automobile. Then Vera arose to follow Olga, who had started for the Inner room. At Its threshold Vera paused. It was to view a pathetic and moving scene. Miss Tyler, the little dressmaker. a fair sweet-faced girl of nineI tedb. was seated beside a torn and j disordered fabric of lace and #satin, i sobbing out her sorrow. After all her hard work, from a vicious caprice I Miss Ridgeley had gone into a transport of wrath because she herself had 1 provided a wrong shade of trimming, hyd flung the garment from her and refused to pay for the Work done upon it.

Olga was on her knees by her side, ber arms about her neck, trying ro comfort her. Vera was deeply affected. She drew back, feeling that %lie was intruding. “It’s a shame!" exclaimed Oiga. as they left the place. “I shall see that Miss Tyler does not lose the money she so sorely needs. What a viper that Ridgeley girl is! The most pop ular girl !’ She? Why, out.side of the monev spent on her by her servile admirers Miss Tyler here would out vote her two to one! Let me tell you. Vera—this Rose Tyler Is the idol of the poor people around here. Her father, a doctor, gave his life to them during forty years’ practice. They are flocking to the store to get coupons to vote for her. but of course their .little money will not count against the Ridgeley dollars. “She struck me as a ladylike, beautiful girt.” ‘She Is just thaL" affirmed Olga. “To her, too. a piano would be of some use. Rose is a proficient musl-

Early Day Missionary Made Famous Record

Titus Coan, explorer and missionary, was born on February 1. 1801, in Killlngworth, Conn. He received hisearly education under private tutors, ■and at eighteen years old was teaching in a country school. He continued bis work as an instructor for ten years, and then entered the theological seminary at Auburn. N. Y-. from which he was graduated In 1833. In the same year lie was ordained as a Congregational minister and undertook for the Boston board of missions an exploration of southern Patagonia for the purpose of establishing a mission, in which he was unsuccessful. Narrowly escaping with his life, Mr. Coan returned to this country in 1834, and in the following year was sent as missionary to the Hawaiian islands, and for the remainder of his life he was a missionary at Hilo, where he died on December 1. 1882. He was regarded by the natives with an affection that was well-nigh veneration. | and his work among them was attended with Important results. He

She did not tell ■ Olga, but Vera had decided on a plan to defeat the relentless autocracy cf Miss Ridgeley and help the modest little dressmaker. All Vera had to do to haveJ her numerous knight errants tioet, to her standard was to advise them of her place of retreat. The first to arrive was Gerald Wynne. Os all her male acquaintances he was the oldest. They had known each other for years. A great many fancied it would eventually l»e a match, but no word of love had passed between them. Within three days was qul(e a coterie at Wardville. Three of Vera’s girl chums arrived and were domiciled in the Wolcott home. The four young men put up at Uie hotel. Strangely Vera seemed to forget her meditated “resting up." A series of enjoyable lawn parties and picnics filled a pleasant program, mere informal affairs, and all the more charming for that. Miss Ridgeley and her friends proceeded to “slfr up and take notice." but no overtures were made, and the lady of Wardville was piqued to realise that her petty exclusiveness had shut her out from association with “the real quality.” “Oh. you clever, clever plotter!” burst forth Olga one day. “And so self-sacrificing!” “Why, what do you mean, my dear?” questioned Vera, but flushing consciously. “All you brought your friends down here for was to boom “our sweet little dressmaker friend. Rose Tyler, and she is going to win. too!” Thanks to Gerald Wynne and his liberal cohorts, when the piano contest ended Miss Rose Tyler had three hundred votes over Miss Blanche Ridgeley, and the coveted instrument was her own. “I have a great favor to ask of you. Vera.” said Gerald, the day he and his friends were to leave Wardville. He looked very earnest. They were seated In the garden with no onq near them. Vera regarded him flatteringly. He was a fine young fellow. He had been a loyal friend. Must she give him pain—for a deep emotion showed in his expressive eyes. concealed her real anxiety. “A favor—regarding?” she intimated smilingly. “I wish your advice." “In a matter of—” “Love!" He spoke the word thrtlllngly. reverently. She felt sorry for him. In the intensity of his emotions he had caught her hand. “Gerald.” she said seriously. “I should have told you—you. my best, truest friend—that I have been engaged to Mr. Robert Layton, now abroad, for over six months." “Good! grand!" Gerald amazed her by saying. “He is a fine fellow. 1 hen, with, a searching glance; "Oh —did you think I was to propose to you? I. who long ago learned that yon were a datxling star and 1 an earthly glowworm! Mr. Layton! engaged! Then all the more will you use your Influence to win for me the woman I love —Rosy Tyler. “Oh. Gerald!" exclaimed Vera, relieved and radiant —“Is this true. “True as the esteem, the brotherly love I feel for you. will always cherish.
