T is generally conceded by
historians that neither the
sensational engagement at
Bunker Hill the significance
of which was understood
throughout the world the
overwhelming defeat of
Burgoyne at Saratoga or
any of the other engage
ments during that struggle
equaled in results that of the siege
and surrender of Cornwallis at York
town
The campaign that led to the defeat
of the best of the British troops under
an able commander was one that was
worked out to the highest degree of
military sense It contained all the
elements of a drama such as a play
wright of high ability might conceive
and it was carried out with a daring
and skill that as planned could have
but one ending
General Washington and Count de
Rochambeau met early in August at
Weathersville Conn and there they
talked over the plans for the future
It was almost determined to put the
French and American armies together
and make a concentrated attack upon
the city of New York which was de
fended by Sir Henry Clinton then
commander-in-chief of the British
forces in this country
It was intended that this attack
should be In the nature of a surprise
and with this in view the two arm
ies were brought together at Dobbs
Ferry and every preparation made to
fall upon the upper part of Manhattan
island At the last minute there came
dispatches from the south apprising
the leaders of the American forces J
that Lord Cornwallis had been con
ducting a very spirited campaign
against General Lafayette who with
Baron Steuben and Anthony Wayne
was directing the destinies of the
Continentals
This news put a different light upon
the situation inasmuch as the planned
campaign upon New York was for the
very purpose of compelling Clinton to
order Cornwallis from the south to
hiS support in holding Manhattan is
land The plans carried exceedingly
well for it was evident that Clinton
heard of the contemplated move
against him and ordered Cornwallis
to make preparations to move to him
Cornwallis therefore withdrew from
the south camped first at Portsmouth
and later moved to Yorktown where
he lay prepared to sail for New York
At the same time as the news of
Cornwallis movements were reported
General Washington learned that
Count de Grasse with a fleet of some
thirty ships was sailing from the
West Indies leaving San Domingo on
August 3 and was bound for the Ches
apeake Bay
Instantly the entire campaign was
changed to meet the new conditions
and while the demonstration against
Clinton was not allowed to lax the
attack was not made Instead Instruc
tions were hurriedly sent to Lafay
ette to et in communication with de
Grasse and with what troops the lat
ter could spare to make every effort
to envelop Cornwallis by land and
sea
In the meantime the allied armies in
f ont of New York withdrew as quiet
ly as possible leaving behind only a
sufficient number to keep up the pre
tense -of investment and the troops
were hurried toward Cornwallis
September 9 saw Washington under
way and accompanied by only Colonel
Humphrey he rode 60 miles to Mount
Vernon arriving there the same day
Count de Rochambeau arrived at
Mount Vernon the following evening
and the plans for the campaign were
gone over
Meanwhile Cornwallis had received
tidings of the arrival of the fleet of
de Grasse which reached Hampton
Roads about August 26 and also word
that the Continental army was bearing
down upon him He was quickly
aroused from his dreams of security
and he and his officers contemplated
a number of plans for getting away
but in each Instance there were cir
cumstances that forbid making the at
tempt and he contented himself with
writing to Clinton to send him aid
Whether CHnton could not or would
not comply will probably never be
known though after the war both offi

Governor Nelsons Residence at Yorktown Still Standing
cers indulged in accusations of eacl
other but the fact is that he did not
and when the allied armies sailed lntc
the harbor of York and camped upon
the adjacent hills Cornwallis was com
pletely trapped
The story of the siege is familiar tc
every school boy or at least it should
be so that I will give only the bare
outlines of it The active attack upon
the British was begun October 6 by
General Lincoln when he opened a
parallel Five days later Baron Steu
bens division opened a second par
allel This brought the lines of the
besiegers to within about 300 yards
of the stronghold
While the infantry was engaged in
paralleling the artillery was hard at
work and the bombardment was furi
ous Governor Nelsons residence in
the town was thought to be the head
quarters of Cornwallis and the doughty
governor himself leading in the at
tack by the artillery not only ordered
his men to fire upon his home but
offered a prize of money for every ball
that struck it Whether the house
was too far or whether the marksmen
were bad its not known but the house
was little damaged and it stands to
day a monument among monuments
to the bravery and devotion of the
American and French armies
The most dramatic feature of the
seige was the attempt to carry twe
redoubts The task of carrying the
redoubts was given to Lafayette and
Baron de Viomenil The latters as
sault proved a disastrous one for the
British put up a stiff fight and though
they were beaten the attackers left
fully one third of their number in the
trench Lafayette was more success
ful and his troops Jed by Alexander
Hamilton who was the first to scale
the parapet swept everything before
them their losses being comparative
ly light
The carrying of these two redoubts
was the beginning of the end for Corn
wallis soon found that he could hold
out no longer unless by needlessly sac
rificing his men It was with a heavy
heart indeed that Cornwallis ordered
a white flag to be displayed on Octo
ber 17 and sent a note to Washington
asking for terms of surrender
The articles of capitulation were
drawn and Cornwallis was invited to
meet the American officers in the
Moore house and sign them This he
did and on October IS the British
army with colors cased and drums
beating marched out of Yorktown be
tween two lines comprised of the
American and French soldiers Wash
ington with his staff was at the head
of his army and Rochambeau with
his staff at the head of his
Cornwallis felt in no humor to
meet the victors so he sent his aide
General OHara with his sword and
with the excuse that he was too ill
to attend Washington too stood up
on his dignity and instead of himself
receiving Cornwallis sword he de
tailed General Lincoln to that duty
It appears that when Sir Henry Clin
ton finally became convinced that
Cornwallis was in grave danger he de
cided to send help and so on October
19 the very day that Cornwallis sur
rendered he sent an army of 700C
men to him The troops on 35 ships
arrived at Yorktown five days latei
but finding that it was too late turned
back to New York
Today the visitor to Yorktown maj
see much of interest The battlefield
has somewhat disappeared and there
is but little trace of the redoubts bul
time has dealt gently with the old
town The same houses that figured
in the tragic events of more than a
century ago still stand while the Nel
son house with a ball In one of the
walls gives testimony to having been
bombarded
There may be seen a cave that ia
said to have been the refuge of Corn
wallis during the bombardment while
the beautiful marble shaft erected by
the government gives the historical
data concerning that which one sees
in the neighborhood

Many funny things happen In a

saw happened yesterday
I was suddenly roused from my
slumber by three loud knocks on the
door Jumping to my feet and into a
bathrobe I hastened to see what was
wanted I opened the door In time
to see a young fellow half way up the
flight to the next floor
Hello there I yelled kt him
Ho turned around hastened back
and handed out a small envelope
pointing to the inscription 1 glanced
at it It was an appeal for aid be

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE
Our boy was born in Toronto on
Oct 13 1908 and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form When it
broke matter would run out starting
new blisters until his entire face
head and shoulders were a mass of
Ecabs and you could not see a par
ticle of clear skin Other parts of
his body were affected but not to
such an extent We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail In
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular the
Remedy almost put the infant
Into convulsions The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
bathe the baby in buttermilk This
did not do any good so we took him
to a hospiral He was treated as an
out patient twice a week and ho got
worse if anything Wo then called
in another doctor and inside of a
week the boy was to all appearances
cured and the doctor said his work
was done But tho very next day it
broke out as bad as ever
We decided that it could not be
cured and must run its course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth the Cutl
cura Remedies were recommended
We started using them In May 1909
and soon the cure was complete You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per
fectly clear and he is entirely free
from tho skin disease There has
been no return this time We still
use only Cuticura Soap for babys
