So American history added to the roll of the Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World the name of Saratoga, and It Is at Saratoga, N.T, where' the unsuccessful Bnrgoyne' campaign culminated, that there la being held on October 9, T and 8 the greatest In the series of sesqulcentennlal celebrations staged by the state of New Tork this year. Because of the results of the events that took place there ICO years ago, the Saratoga celebration has cation-wid- e significance; In the spring of 1777 the British ministry decided to make a supreme effort to crash her rebellious colonies Accordingly Lord Germain, the English minister, conceived the plan of separating the colonies Into manageable units, and more especially ratting off the head of the rebellion, New England, by sending a force down the Hud-eo- n from Canada, another up that river from New Tork City and a third through the Mohawk valley from Oswego, all converging on Albany. But no sooner were the plans laid than several vital mistakes were mads la the first place, man of letGen. John Bnrgoyne, a pleasure-lovin- g ters playwright and social lion, who had but little military ability, was placed In command of the expedition from Canada Instead of the capable Bir Guy Carieton. More than that, he was given positive orders as toexactly what he was to do and he had no authority to alter his plans to meet changing circumstances But the greatest blunder of all was this: Lord Germain wrote out the order for General Howe In New Tork to cooperate with Bnrgoyne, laid It aside on his desk, forgot abont It and went off to visit a country house without sending the order. The result was that Howe sailed away from New Tork on a perfectly useless expedition against Philadelphia and Bnrgoyne plunged Into the wilderness to meet Howe without knowing that the latter was actually running away from him I Having started, Burgoyne proceeded to make a few mistakes of his own which assured the failure of the campaign. He underestimated the ability of the Americans who opposed him under the leadership of Gen. Philip Schuyler; he underestimated the difficulties of traveling through the wilderness ahead of him, loaded himself down with useless baggage and failed to provide himself with adequate means of transportation for hta supplies, and he deceived himself In the belief that the Loyalists would rally to hla standard as be approached. Not only did they fall to rally, but Burgoyne soon found that In employing Indian allies, over whom he soon lost all control, he completely alienated any who might have been friends and he soon stirred up a veritable hornets nest When Ills army of soma 7,000 men, nearly half of them Germans under Baron Rledesel, embarked on lake Champlain on June 17, 1777, It carried with It one of the finest artillery trains ever seen up to that time on the American continent. At first everything seemed to point to the success of the expedition. For the British were not the only ones who made mistaken. General St. Clair made a serious one when he failed to fortify the hills overlooking Fort Tlconderoga and Burgoyne raptured this fort and with It 128 guns. Grown Point had been taken previously and Fort Independence and, a little later. Fort Ann also fell before the Invader. These successes led the Englishman to believe that within a few days he would be In Albany and his view was shared by the home government There Is an amusing ' story that when the news of the foil of Tlcon-deroreached King George III, he dashed Into the queen's room with the glad cry of I have beat them.

The Inhabitants of the country withdrew with Schuyler's army, taking with them all of the provisions and stock possible and destroying the remainder. Bridges were broken down, rivers and creeks choked np and giant trees rat down across such roads as there were through the woods. Burgoyne was forced to cut hla way through tho wilderness. It took him 80 days ts cover less than 29 miles and during that time ho was forced to build some 40 bridges I The New Englanders were threatening his flank, but his instructions forbade him to turn aside and strike a blow at them. The messengers which he tried to send through to Howe were captured by the Americans and he had no Idea of what that general was doing. Finally the food situation became desperate. Then Burgoyne attempted the expedition under Oolonel Baum, the Ilesalan leader, to Bennington, Vt, to capture the American supplies there; The result la history the defeat of Baum by grim old General John Stark and the defeat also of Colonel Breyman, who had been sent to Baum's In the meantime another disaster to the ambitious British plan had taken place. CoL Barry St Leger, who was to deliver the Mohawk vpUey coup, foiled to capture Fort Schuyleri (formerly Fort Stanwlx) and this, like Bennington, wu another factor which contributed to the final downfall of Burgoyne. But despite these reverses, he determined to push on. On September 13 he took the decisive step, crossed the Hudson and moved his whole force to Saratoga. In doing this he had rat off his communications with lake George and Tlcongeroga. All he could do now was to press forward and trust to luck. There was one element of Inck In the situation In another blunder by the Americana. Politics In congress had resulted In the replacement of General Schuyler by Gen. lloratlo Gates, a leader Inferior In every way to Schuyler and even to some of hla subordinates, notably Daniel Morgan and Benedict Arnold. But even that fact sms not enough to save Burgoyne from the fate which awaited him. The American camp was pitched at Stillwater, 12 miles further down the river. Burgoyne advanced to attack and on September 19 the bitter fight at Bemla Heights took place. Burgoyne had foiled to dislodge the Americans and the attempt had cost him 600 men. The predicament of the British general at this point Is well described In Wrong's "Washington and Hla Comrades" In the Tale University Press' Chronicles of America as follows : Bursoynss condition was now growing desperate. American forces barred retreat to Canada. He must go back and meet both frontal and flank attacks or go forward or surrender. To go forward now had most promise, for at last Hows had Instructed Clinton, loft In command at Now Tork, to move and Clinton was making rapid progress up tbs Hudson.
