American Privateers Harass British During Revolutionary War As the Two Hundredth Annivers ary of George Washington’s Birth approaches, every detail of our First President’s military achieve ments becomes of interest and re ceives due notice from historians. The Division of Information and Publication of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission has already published much new material bearing on his labors. And now, says the George Washington Bicentennial Commis sion, the winning of Independence was not wholly achieved on land, and George Washington owed some measure of his final victory to the naval activities of the Colonies during the Revolution. No less an authority than Ad miral Alfred T. Mahan lays down the theorem in one of his masterly volumes that the battle of Sara toga and the surrender of Bur- goyne constituted “the decisive event of the war,” and that the capture of Burgoyne’s army was made possible by the shrewd op erations of a tiny American navy on Lake Champlain. Most Ameri cans will be astonished at the re minder that the. directing genius of that little navy was, pf all persons, Benedict Arnold. As Admiral Mahan points out, Burgoyne’s surrender directly re sulted in France’s coming to the aid of the Colonies. And it was our “navy” which helped bring about this decisive British defeat. The British early noted the strat egic value of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain. If the British could control both the waterways the Colonies would be divided. Two wedges were to be driven into this natural barrier; one from the south, from New York, the other from Canada, by way of Champ- •ain. Benedict Arnold with his little fleet of three schooners, a sloop, and five “gondolas,” in 1776 delay ed. preparation and advance from Canada so long that Carleton froxp that end could not gain a position from which to co-operate with Howe, and their synchronization was postponed for a year; a delay which proved fatal, and thus the river was never allowed to divide the Colonies. Meanwhile Revolutionary scour- ings of the seas contributed greatly in the success of Washington’s siege of Boston in 1775-1776. So many supply ships heading for the British garrison at Boston were captured, and their precious car goes diverted to the hard-pressed Colonial , troops, that discourage ment may easily have helped to wear down the British morale. On June .23, 1776, occurred the first battle of the Revolution in which ships engaged. This was the attempt of the British to take Fort Moultrie at Charleston, South Car olina. Accordnig to Admiral Ma han’s account, it was Bunker Hill transferred to the sea, except that it was a more clear-cut success for the Americans. No British ships were Sunk, but neither was the fortress taken. Instead the British fleet sailed away a good deal dam aged, its commander persuaded that the Yankee prize was not worth the heavy price to be paid for its capture. The real glory of the Revolution ary naval history belongs to the privateers that roved the sea in great numbers. A great page in our record remains to be written, says the United States George Wash ington Bicentennial Commission. That page will deal with the im portant work of these privateers, and the adventurous conditions under which they operated. Massachusetts alone put into commission more than 2,000 of these privately owned and operated war vessels. And to most Am ericans their mission has been mis interpreted. These privateers were not pirate ships. They were duly commissioned by the governments of the Colonies. Their command ers were put under heavy bond to maintain the customs of the seas as defined by international law.’ They were empowered to capture or sink British merchantmen, but only after humane treatment had been accorded to the crews. John Hancock later signed the commis sions of the Massachusetts priva teersmen, and those of other Col onies did their work under equally good authority. During the eight years of the Revolution, privateers were re sponsible for the capture of 3,057 British ships, all with valuable prize cargoes. In fact, it became THE NEW FORD STANDARD SEDAN A beautiful five-passenger car, with longer, wider body, and attractive, comfortable interior. The slanting windshield is made of Triplex safety plate glass. You can now have the new Ford delivered with safety glass in all windows and doors at slight additional cost. The price of the new Ford Standard Sedan is $590, f. o. b. Detroit. F.O.B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery. Bumpers and spare tire extra at low cost. Convenient, economical terms through the Authorized Ford Finance Plans of the Universal Credit Company difficul to recruit seamen for the real Navy of the Colonies, because of this profitable business of priv- ateerihg. It was not unusual for a common seaman to receive 550 pour^s as his share of the prize money of a successful cruise, and the commanding officers shared accordingly. It was good business mixed with patriotism. And the embarrassment caused the British by these privateers was indeed great. The smaller privateers confined their operations to the West Indies or to our own coastal waters, but larger privateering vessels roamed in foreign seas to such good effect that one report from Banff, Scot land, in 1777, complains of the time as “so troublesome and our seas so full of American privateers, that nothing can be trusted upon this defenseless coast.” Winthrop College SCHOLARSHIP AND ENTRANCE EXAMINATION Accidents and "near" accidents Consider the number of 6 6 near 99 accidents you have every time you drive your car.

Robinson Insurance Agency PHONE 66 * McCormick Meat has so much natural flav- •or that to add other substances is j rather like gilding the lily, but, for ; the sake of variety, we sometimes j like to give the meal dish a subtle touch of this or that which makes it just a bit different. The Nat ional Live Stock and Meat Board suggests these ways of, not improv ing, but giving a slightly different tang to meat dishes: A steak from high quality beef needs only to be properly broiled to make a dish fit to put before a king, but if you want to have the family sit up and ask you how you did it, try this one. Just as the steak is about ready to come from the broiler, lay over it thin slices of soft American cheese, and put back under the flame to melt the cheese. I A zesty sauce adds to the attrac tiveness of a meat loaf, especially if the leaf is made from left-over cooked meat, in which case it can stand a little additional flavor. Sauce for Meat Loaf Cut very fine one clove of garlic and one onion; cook until tender, but not brown, in two tablespoons of bacon fat. Add one can of to mato sauce, two cups of meat stock, one pimento, chopped fine, and salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Cook until thick and then turn over the meat loaf. . Maitre d’hotel Butter Cream four tablespoons of but ter, add one tablespoon f finely minced parsley, one tablespoon lemon juice, one-half teaspoon salt, and one-fourth teaspoon onion juice. Chill and form into small balls. Serve with 'broiled lamb | chops ir steak. Pimento Sauce Melt two tablespoons of butter, j add two tablespoons of flour and one-half teaspoon of salt. Stir un til smooth. Add one cup meat broth and cook until thick. Boil one minute, add two tablespoons lemon juice and two chopped pi mentos. Serve with tongue. Horseradish Butter Cream one-fourth pound butter, add four tablespoons fresh grated horseradish, a little salt and a dash of cayenne. Blend thoroughly. Spread on hot broiled steaks or chops. X Cottonseed meal or cake stimu lates the appetite of fattening ani mals and makes them eat more feed and make greater gains. A good mixture as a supplement for cattle on grass is 8 parts by weight of corn or other grain and 2 parts of cottonseed meal or cake. When protein can be supplied for fattening cattle in dry lot more cheaply in the form of cottonseed meal or cake than legume hay, it is advisable to use it and replace part of the hay with a cheaper * roughage. TXT In 7 months of the current sea son the United Kingdom imported nearly 10 million pounds more of prunes than for the first 7 months of the previous season, most of the increase coming from the United States.* ;V ' '» » * ^ <o Chilean Nitrate of Soda M. G. & J. J. DORN (Incorporated) Dealers McCORMICK, S. C. Some of the foods one plans in the menus may be cooked in quan tity and kept in the refrigerator for a day or two, to save extra work and extra heating of the stove. Prunes, apricots, and other dried fruits; cocoa sirup; French mayonnaise or cooked salad dress ing; some desserts; and roasts of meat are some of the foods which may be handled in this way. A lamb roast, for example, may be served hot at first, then as cold sliced meat, and finally in a cas serole with some of its own gravy. Prunes may be first stewed for break fast. Later in the week they may appear in prune salad, prune pie, or prune whip. Small quanti ties of vegetables may be put in small baking dishes or in a flat baking dish with partitions, cov ered with buttered crumbs, and warmed in the oven.
