_4 Caught Within the Enemy's Lines A Story For Washingtoo't Birthday By EVERETT P. CLARKE Lt There are many noted points connect ed with the American Revolution iu New Jersey. The main struggle begau In Massachusetts, was transferred to New York mid the bulk of it was fought out in New Jersey, the surrender being made in Virginia. After the battle ot Long Island General Washington's central point—that is, when he was not In the Held was at Morristown. In a house which Is now owned by a so Ciety whose business it Is to keep It In order as a memento of the Father or His Country Some ten miles south of Morristown Is Basking ridge, where is situated one of New Jersey's historic homes. Dur tng Washington's occupancy of the house at Morristown a wedding occur red at this house, which be attended On his way back to his headquarters he stopped at a house in a little place called Mendham. telling the members of bis staff who were with him to ride on slowly and he would overtake them Dismounting from his horse the gen eml entered the gate and asked for ad mittanee by means of the brass knock cr which In those days was nsed in stead of the modern bell. He was ad mltted by Miss Dorothy Hughes, the daughter of the person he sought. "How now. Mistress Dorothy?" said the genernl. noticing that she was very pale and all of a tremor. "What is the matter?" "Nothing." stammered the giri, "ex cept an agitation at our house being honored by so important a personage as the commauder in chief." "I fear you are exaggerating. Is your father within?" "No. general. He went to Elizabeth town tills morning. We do not expect his return till late this evening." General Washington thought a mo ment. then said: "Do you think you could deliver a message to him when he returns?" "1 fear, general, that I am a bit flus tered at the honor of this call. I may not give your message aright." "Mow Is it. Mistress Dorothy, that notwithstanding tills high honor which you consider done yon by the com mander in chief you permit him to stand without invitation to enter?" "Pardon me. your excellency; 1 did not suppose that you would stop after bearing father is not ot home. Will you le pleased to enter?" "Only for the purpose of writing a message slice you are not minded to deliver It verbally." The girl led the general into the Mv _Jng room. where she left him for a few minutes to go for writing paper and a quill The general after sharpening the quill with his penknife sat down at a table, wrote his message, sanded it then took it to a window to read It over The window was draped with heavy damask curtains, and his excel lency In order to get a better light moved one of them aside. In doing s< his arm encouutered a resistance otb er than wood. Throwing back the cur tain, be exi>osed a young man in the uniform of a lieutenant in the British arm.v The reason for Dorothy's agitation and unwillingness to admit him flashed ujion Washington at once. He regarded the young man sternly, then rurned his gaze on Dorothy, who. white as a cloth, was supporting her self by a mantel over the great stone fireplace. The general saw at once that he had discovered a pair of lovers. "Don't fear. Mistress Dorothy." he •aid. "Fortunately your guest is In uniform. Had he come without the In Elgnin of his office it would have been my duty to have dim arrested and tried for being within our lines as a spy His object tn coming is only too ap parent - not to took at our forces and our equtpmeut to carry information of j It to General Howe at New York, but j to feast his eyes on a very charming j young lady " Then to the officer he j continued: "My position as an officer | in the Continental army does not re- j quire me To make a mountain of a | molehill by accusing you of Intentions | which you have not, but it does re j quire me to take you into custody, j Yet even that need not Inconvenience j yon or shorten your visit You are j my prisoner. Give me your name and j rank." "1 am Lieutenant Ralph Harding ot j I his British majesty's th regtmeni j of foot" "Very well, lieutenant Now give me your word of honor as an office* and a gentleman that as soou as you have finished your visit to my esteem ed friend. Mistress Dorothy Hughes, you will proceed to the British lines > and will not bear arms against the Continental forces until you have been dnly exchanged." An expression of relief, which was r reflected in Dorothy's features, appear i ed on the young man's face as he gave i the required promise. Washington r went to the table, wrote something and r handed It to him. It read as follows; j Pass Lieutenant Ralph Harding or the r British army without our lines. i Lieutenant Harding turned his eyes (from the paper to the man who gave it r "General." be said, "1 don't wonder r that the Americans revere you. Ac- j cept my heartfelt thanks." Then the commander in chief handed j the message he had written to Dorothy j and was turning to leave the room j when she threw her arms around his [ Beck and sobbed her thanks.

TURK GOVERNOR VOWS TO PAINT TOWN RED WITH BRIRTISH BLOOD London, March 19 —The text 7 \ >f an alleged proclamation, issued it Smyrna by Rahmy Bey, the Turkish governor, threatening to nassacre the foreign residents of the city, is given by the Daily Tel egraph's Atheas correspondent, as follows: ' ; By the grace of the Almighty ; the enemy's attacks will cost dear ly. A defense equal to that made by the forts, and more terrible will be organized against the enemy within the town. "The town will be painted from end to end with the blood of the enemy, who will see his attempts brought to naught. The transfor mation of the town into a battle field will be worthy the grandeur of Ottoman history."

PROMISE TO END SMOKE IN CITIES Electrical Engineers See Air Quickly Gieared. FOG WIRES TO AID SHIPS. Practical Demonstration Is Given Showing How Powerful Electric Volt age Will Detach Particles of Carbon and Other Material Substances From Gases Passing Up a Chimney. A means of making Pittsburgh a spotless town, of doing away with London's fogs and of enabling safe navigation in thick weather was out lined in three papers read before the ; members of the American Institute of , Electrical Engineers at the closing ses sion of the convention in New York, j Electrical precipitation, a method first practically applied by Sir Oliver Lodge of England, was stated as the solution of these problems. A practical demonstration showing how a powerful electric voltage will detach the particles of carbon and oth er material substances from the gases passing up a chimney, thereby doing away with the objectionable smoke, was given in the auditorium. A quan tity of lampblack was blown up through a fifteen foot smokestack plac ed on the platform. The flying parti cles filled the air. Then 50,000 volts were turned on, and at once the lamp black attached itself to the interior of the chimney and the air cleared. By adjusting the voltage to the size of the smokestack to be treated facto ries will be made smokeless, lt was said, and thousands of dollars that are now lost through smoke damage will be saved. Moving Pictures of Fogs. Moving pictures of fogs and clouds and their elimination as produced by electricity have been taken, ;t was said, to show the practicability of the plan to free London from the grip of the dense fogs and to eliminate a men ace of sea travel. At the present time Sir Oliver Lodge is said to be working on a plan by which London will be strung with wires through which a high voltage will be passed and the fog cleared away. Engineers at the meet ing agreed that the plan was not im possible and expressed great interest in the work. An unusual idea was suggested for removing the fogs from about ships at sea. A small aeroplane electrically pro pelled from a ship will fly about two boat lengths in front of the liner during the fog. From the flying machine will be strung a high powered electric wir® reaching back to the ship. The cur rent passing through the wire is ex pected to cause a precipitation of the moisture In the air and clear a channel some 2,000 feet in advance of the ship and to some extent on either side through which the ship may safely pass. This will enable the lookouts to detect another ship approaching in time to maneuver the liner out of dan ger. The patent rights on the discovery are owned by the Smithsonian institu tion at Washington and the Mellon In stitute of Industrial Research of Pitts burgh. The income on the patents will be devoted by the institutions to fur thering research work on scientific sub jects, it was said. The papers "dealing with the discov ery were read by Dr. W. W. Strong of Mechanlesburg, Pa., Arthur F. Nesblt. professor of electrical engineering at the University of Pittsburgh and elec trical engineer of the Mellon institute, and Linn Bradley.
