PM GREAT HISTORIC PAHT Destruction of Falls House, of Revolutionary Fame, Some thing to Be Deplored by Patriots. I F THE British spy Taylor had not been captured tn the Falls house the United States of America In all probability would never have existed as such. For It wus In this house, on October 10, 1777, that the emissary sent by General Clinton carrying dis patches to General Burgoyue was trapped aud searched. It was in the Falls house, tn those days known as Woods' tavern, that many famous letters were written by Major Armstrong, one of which is a vivid portrayal of the condition of the continental army, then in sore straits. It also was the headquarters of New York’s first governor, Clinton. Historical societies of Newburg and surrounding towns agitated tor the preservation of the Tails house. But, with no available site on which to re- ereot It and small funds with which to put through such a project, it had to ho abandoned. Something of the history associated with this typical -tavern of revolution ary days Is related by William J. Roe of Newburg as follows: “The autumn of 1777 saw the plight of America’s arms,, endeavoring-to as sert the right of self-governraeht.at their lowest ebb. From the north' Sur- goyne was advancing, while from New York Sir Henry Clinton, urged by the necessity of effecting a junction with Burgoyne, had already captured Forts Clinton: and Montgomery, dispersing, HOLY SHIES Headquarters Occupied by Wash- . ington Throughout the Country Are to Be Preserved. T HROUGH the efforts of the various patriotic societies many of the old houses made famous by Washington as tils headquarters during the war of Independence, have been preserved and are now suitably marked for tho Information of posterity. During that long struggle for freedom Washington used perhapB a hundred or more houses for this purpose in various parts of the country. Many have dis appeared under the ravages of time, but about two score of them have been saved. It was in these houses that he planned hts battles and strategy; It was in them that Indepen dence was achieved. Cambridge, Mass., points proudly to Old Falls House, in fact almost annihilating, the militia under the brothers James and George Clinton. “George Clinton, gathering the rem nant of his defeated troops, estab lished his quarters at this old Falls house. To this house, on October 10, was brought a British prisoner upon whose person was found a message from the British Clinton to Burgoyne which, If it had been safely delivered, might and doubtless would have had the effeot to have delayed Burgoyne’s surrender at Saratoga, giving time for a conjunction of the two British armies. In fact, a similar message was delivered about a week later. Bur goyne, with suddenly revived hope, hesitated, delayed, endeavored to pro crastinate negotiations. “But happily it was then too late; Burgoyne was compelled to surrender; Saratoga saw the high tide of British dominion. “The suffering of the troops that winter was most deplorable. It prob ably was somewhat worse at Valley Forge (for tlioBe very words have be come synonymous with patriotic wretchedness), but then the army, elated by the victory of Saratoga, was buoyed up by hope of action. “Of tho mutinous spirit there Maj. John Armstrong, aide-de-camp on the staff of General Gates, was the mouth piece, In a letter—calmly considered now, after the lapse of more than a century, not unworthy of the occasion and a very masterpiece of influencing literature—he portrays the condition of the army, their hopelessness and the supineness of the continental con gress. His stirring words must, I think, be recalled by many. “You remember (having reviewed the wrongs and the just complaints of the army) with what a burst of right eous Indignation Armstrong ends his forceful address; “ ‘Can you consent to wade through the vile mire of dependency and owe the miserable remnant of that life to charity, which has hitherto been spent In lionor? If you can, go and carry with you the jest of Tories and the scorn of Whigs; the ridicule and, what Is worse, the pity of the world! Go starve and be forgotten!’ "The mutiny was quelled, harmony restored, equity established In the tem ple; the letter of Armstrong was penned at the Falls house, razed to make way for the march of progress.” Jumel Mansion,. Washington’s New York Headquarters.- houses that were occupied by Wash ington. First Washington lived in the residenco set apart for principals of Harvard college. Then he moved to the house of a fugitive Loyalist, John Vassall. Later this became the resi dence of Henry W. Longfellow, the great poet, and here were written many of his works since become world famous. Washington had many houses In New York. None- Is more beautiful than the building now known as the Jumel mansion. This was his head quarters from September 16 to Octo ber 21, 1776. It is also rich in mem ories of Aaron Burr, who married the widow of Stephen Jumel. Jumel gained possession of the house when Roger Morris and his wife fled be cause their Tory sympathies threat ened to get them In difficulties. It was MrsV Morris, who as Mary Phllipse, George Washington wooed in vain. At 'Noshaminy, 20 miles north of Philadelphia, is a headquarters of Washington rich In historic memories. It is a rough stone building, two stories in height, located near the bridge over the Little Neshamiriy creek. Here Washington held an im portant council of war, at which for the first time the young Marquis de Lafayette took- his place as one of Washington’s advisers. The Valley Forge headquarters of Washington Is jUBtly famed as one of the holiest shrines of American free dom. This old stone house was the residence of the founder at the time The Neshamlny Headquarters. when the fortunes of the cause went to their very lowest. On the Hudson Is the venerable structure that did Washington service at Newburgh. This had a military use. It was situated on a bluff that overlooks the river for eight miles to West Point.
