A high spot In these celebrations will be reunited lVsJWPt-- fl talfey-5- , this yenr when Mew York observes the anniversary of several battles In the Saratoga campaign which was the turning point In the struggle for freedom. Hut the Eust cannot claim all of the honors In tecallfng the stirring deeds of u century und a half ago, for the Middle West can point to Its part In tho fight for Independence and am Justly claim thut it was no small part, cither. Although the time for Its sesquloentenniul celebrations are more than a yenr away, plans are already being made for their observance on a big scale. Indiana and Illinois are taking the lead In these plans because the cveuts to be commemorated took place upon their soil, but the citizens of ether states In the Old Northwest Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan end Wisconsin are Just ds keenly Interested because those events ure a part of their heritage, too. So important to the United States ns a whole were these happenings that the celebrations which are to take pluce nt Cahokln, 111., und Vincennes, Ind., In 11)28 und 1020 are of nntlon-wldInterest. And the Inspiration for all of this will he the memory of one man, a Virginian mimed George Rogers Clark. It was he who won tho Old Northwest for the United States by ns daring a campaign as Is recorded In all history, thereby fixing the western boundary line of the new Republic t the Mississippi river Insteud of along the y mountains and made It possible for the American llug to march westward until it had reached the lnelflo. The story of Clarks campaign Is one of the most dramatic In American history. It Is the story of how this Virginian, who was living lu Kentucky In 1770, saw that the struggling settlements In that state were doomed to be wiped out by the raids of Indians, sent out by Gov. Henry Ilninllton, the British conmmndant in the Old Northwest, unless something was done about It. lie did not wait for some one else to do it He got busy hluisolf. The Kentucky country belonged to VIrgluin, and Clark returned to Virginia to lay before Gov. 1utrlck Henry his plan for carrying the war to the British by an expedition against the British posts nt Kaskaskla, 111., Vincennes, Ind., and Detroit, Mich. Governor Henry appointed him a lieutenant-colone- l and gave him authority to enlist men for the expedition. So June 24, 1778, found Clark with a force of 180 Kentucky frontiersmen setting out from Louisville on his march against Kaskaskla. He captured Kaskaskla by surprise and on July 4 raised the Stars and Stripes over what Is now Illinois. Ho made friends with the French, bluffed the Indians to a standstill and Vincennes aud Cahokla were soon In his power. However, In December Ilninllton swooped down from Detroit and recaptured Vincennes ami innile plans for proceeding agniust Clark at Kaskaskla in the spring. But Hark did not wait to lie attacked. In February he set out for Vincennes with 100 of his own men und 70 French volunteers. Then began one of the most wonderful marches In history. The whole country was flooded and for 17 days Clark and his men, enduring almost unheard-o- f hardships, waded through the ley water. Finally, the exhausted little army arrived at Vincennes and laid siege to Fort Rockville. On February 24 Clark forced Hamiltons unconditional surrender and the Old Northwest was won for the United States forever. So Illinois Is planning to hold In 1028 a million-ella- r exposition on the common fields of ancient Qahokia, once the trade center of the upper valley, and at a recent conference of state legislators and business men of southwestern Illinois a budget of $805,000 was agreed upon to finance the building of the exposition city and to erect memorial to Clark and to Father llerre Glhault. the French priest who helped Clark. In Indiana similar activity is under way. A George Rogers Clark Sesquloentennlol commission has been organized whose principal purpose Is the celebration In 1920 of the anniversary of Clarks rapture of Fort Sackrllle at Vincennes where a magnificent Clark memorial will be erected. The city of Vincennes already has authorized a bond Issue of $40,000 to purchase the site of Fort Sack-Ul- e upon which the memorial will be erected. This memorial hall will contain a series of mural a depleting the scenes of Clarks campaign and will b surrounded by a memorial park, connected by a boulevard with the home of (Jen.

President Coolidge hits been Invited to dedicate the building as n national shrine and plans are also being made by the commission for n series of historical pageants and for other celebrations at various places In Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois where events of Clarks expedition took place. Historians have been almost unanimous In the belief that never has the proverbial Ingratitude of republics been better Illustrated thnn In the case of George Rogers Clark. For ull that Ids achievement placed the nation In Ills everlasting debt, that nation allowed him to die In poverty and neglect. It would have been no more than right that one of the states curved out of the territory which he won should boar his name. But none of them docs. Streets, towns und counties In some o the states bear his name, but, considering his historical Importance, the number of monuments erected to his memory Is surprisingly few. But If the present plans for the celebrations are carried through some measure of the tardy honor which he deserves will have been paid. It Is eminently fitting, too, that therq should have appeared recently tho most complete nnd authoritative biography of this military genlns which hns yet been written. That Is the book, George Rogers (lark, by Temple Ilodley, published by noughton-Mlfilicompany of Boston. (larks outstanding early military services have often been described; but later ones, hardly less Important and demanding far more of patriotic sacrifice, have rarely or never been noticed. It Is the record of these sendees which forms a huge part of Mr. Dudley's hook. It Is shameful enough that the United States should have allowed a man to whom it owed so much to die In want. It is shameful enough tlmt he should have been so soon forgotten by those who have best cause to remember him. But It Is even more shameful that some historl Clark nnd uns hnve cruelly misrepresented defamed his memory because ns an embittered eld man he fell into had habits and allowed his name to become associated with certain projects which bordered closely upon treason. 8o another xnlue of Mr. Bodle.vs book Is his refutation of some of these slanders, especially his expose of the plot by that arch conspirator, Gen. James Wilkinson, against Clark. It Is no analogy to compare Clark to the outstanding figure In the American Revolution nnd to call him the "Washington of the West." There are many curious similarities In their careers. Washington was born In 17.82: Clark In 1752. Both were natives of Virginia und both were surveyors beyond the frontier in their young manhood. Both had their first mllltury experience and were prepared for the great conflict later by participation in Indian wars Washington In the French and Indian war of 1755 and Clark In Lord Dunmores war In 1774. But It Is ns the military genius and the lender of men that they are mpst alike. Courage, audacity, quickness to renlize an opportunity and quickness to seize It these were the qualities which they shared as military lenders. Washingtons Trenton nnd Princeton campaign and Clarks march agalust V.rcennes Illustrate their realization of the Importance of striking the eaemy Insteud of waiting for him to strike you, and the fact that the secret of military success Is, in the words of Gen. Nnthnn Bedford Forrest, the famous Confederate cavalry leader, to "git tlinr fust with the mostest mpn only in these cases the "most-et- " meant using Inferior forces most effectively. sesqul-ecntennl- n half-starve- d . caused men to follow thorn through unheard-o- f privations and against, what seemed to he overwhelming odds. Truly were George Washington und George Rogers Clark lenders of men In the truest sense of the word. If Valley Forge was Washingtons Gethsenmne, where he suffered ugony of soul nt the sight of Ills starving men leaving their footprints on the snow, then the Drowned Lands of the Wabash was a Via Cruels for Clark along which he led a shivering, exhausted group of men in whom the spark of life was all but extinct.... In some respects the greatness of Clark as a leader exceeds that of Washington. The Con- -' tinentnls who enlisted under Washington had more to gain and less to lose than the .frontiersmen of Kentucky who cast their lot with Clark. If the former won u great victory, the whole Atlantic seaboard would ring with their valor and their might. If they lost, a British prison canqi had though that frequently was was the worst that confronted them and there was always the possibility of parole or exchange. If Clarks borderers won, It would be weeks before news of the victory could roach tho colonies and even then, y so little did the region mean to tho average man of Massachusetts or Bennsylvnnia or Virginia, the victory would be almost unnoticed. If they lost for them the torture stake of. the Indian allies of Governor Hamilton, "the Hair-BuyGeneral'' nnd a horde of red demons sweeping down upon the stockaded forts of Kentucky behind whose walls were the women and children whom they hud left behind them when they marched away. That Clark could hold his men to their task nnd nvake them follow him In an attempt which seined foolhardy Is the best testimonial of the greatness of the man. If only the comparison of these two men could end with Clark, the victor, raising the Stars and Stripes over Fort Snckville in Vincennes, and Washington, the victor, setting the colonies in u frenzy of joy 'with tbe news of Trenton and Princeton! But unfortunately it does not end there, Clarks great objective wus Detroit, but lie could never assemble a sufficient force to enable him to take tlmt post. Although Virginia promoted him to brigadier general and presented hint with a sword (a second-hanone, by tbe way), lie never enjoyed a commission In the Continental service and bis qualities of leadership were unnoticed. Finally lie wus dismissed from the Virginia service on the plea of poverty of tlmt state. Virginia did give him a lO.tkKl-iicr- e grunt of land In the territory he had won for It. but lie was "land-poor.- " lie hud spent all of his own private funds nnd much besides which he Imd obtained from Father Gilmult nnd Frauds Vigo, the Spanish trader, In paying his men und for years he sought to obtain a settlement of these claims against the state.
