British Raided Town of Danbury 153 Years Ago Today But Failed Dismally to Achieve Objectives Hessians Rendered Useless After Reaching Rum Supply—Americans Ral- lied and Nearly Drove Invaders Into Sea. Today marks the 153d anniver- sary of the British raid on Danbury during the Revolutionary war, an expedition, which was destined to weaken the American cause in sev- eral vital respects but which came near to ending in a disastrous fiasco for the forces of King George III. Connecticut, lying close to the American forces which watched the English army of occupation in New York city throughout the Revolu- tion, became almost the backbone of those forces by supplying them with foodstuffs which enabled them to continue their campaign, and the state became known as the *“Provi- sion State.” It also law open to the British, who controlled Long Island Sound, and they took advantage of this to make frequent raids upon the various cities along the shore and in the southern portion of the state in order to achicve the double purpose of destroying food which was destined for the patriots and of frightening the residents into de- sertion of the American cause. Many Raids On Connecticut New Haven, Iairfield, New Lon- don, Norwalk, and other places knew the tramp of British feet and the flames of the Briton-applied torch, and in the spring of 1777 the blow fell upon Danbury. This was at that time a little village of about 2,600 inhabitants and was well sit- uated to be a center of supply to the continental troops outside New York. But, of all the inland towns, it was the most accessible to a force landed from the Sound, and early in 1777 General Clinton decided to raid the place and destroy any sup- plies stored there. A series of well conceived and ex- ecuted raids of this type would pos- sibly have injured the colonists’ cause considerably, as they would have reduced the supplies of the forces which later that summer were called upon to stop Burgoyne's invasion from Canada and the threatening juncture of his army with one from New York, cutting the colonies in two. But the Dan- bury raid, like Burgoyne's later and better known onc to Bennington, came a cropper duc to the wusual bungling which characterized Brit- ish leadership during the Revolution and to the promptness with which the Americans rallied. And the us- ual inefficiency of the Hessian mer- cenaries was another contributing cause. Americans Rally Quickly On April 24, then, Governor Tryon set out from New York with six ships of war and 3,000 soldiers, Brit- ish and Hessian. Two thousand of these were put ashore that night near the mouth of the Saugatuck river, east of Norwalk. But the Americans learned of this expedi- tion and guessed its objective. Gen- eral Benedict Arnold, who later turned traitor nd General Wooster hurried out of New Haven with what few men they uld muster at a moment’s notice and despite a heavy rain, made hurried marches-to Red- ding, gnd joined another force there | under General Silliman, but even with this reinforcement the defend- ers numbered only 700, This body continued on to Bethel encamped there on the 26th. On the afternoon of the same day the British appeared before Dan- bury, and the inbabitants fled be- fore their approach. The advance of the British was barely retarded by some 50 soldiers and perhaps twice as many raw militiamen, and the invaders swept on through the town to begin their work of destroy- ing supplies and spreading terror. Demon Rum K. O.'s Hesslans But the Hessians ran true to their storied form and, after finding the rum supply, proceeded to concen- trate their destructive operations upon the drinking of the entire quantity. They did such a good job that they were soon unfit for any service, and Tryon had to call a halt to activities for the night. By morning word of the approach- ing American force had reached his ears, and the British commander en- deavored to prep: o meet it. But the German mercenaries were in the throes of one grand collective “hang- over” and were totally unfit for fighting. So thc houses of the Tories were marked to prevent their shar- ing in the destruction, 19 stores and houses were fired, and the invaders beat a befuddled but hasty retreat, 1aking care not to come within strik- ing distance of the Americans at Bethel. British Nearly Trapped But the Americans were ready for & bridge in thepath of the retreat, while Wooster took 200 of the Amer- icans and set out in pursuit. Arnold, with the balance of the- defenders, headed for Ridgeficld to deliver a final attack. The British came up to the spot where the bridge had been and, unable to get across, sat down for mess. Whereupon Wooster caught up {o them and attacked without warning, capturing 40 pris- oners. The British, now finding them- sclves in somewhat the position they had been after the battles of Lex- ington and Concord, set out on straggling and badly disorganized flight to their flect. Wooster over- took them again near Ridgefield just before noon and again attack- ed, but this time he was fatally wounded as he led the advance. Amold Kills Assailait Arnold’s 500 men were now on hand to threaten the British from the flank, and Tryon turned his ar- tillery upon them in a vain effort to drive them off. The British then charged and_ killed a mnumber of Americans, including Colonecl Abram Gold. Arnold’s horse was shot from beneath him and a British soldier dashed upon him, demanding that the American general surrender, but the latter stood his ground and kill- ed his opponent with a pistol ball. Thirty of the invaders died in this and h small | 9 futile assault, and all, Tryon had done was to lose a precious hour. It wds now too late to continue, so the British bivouacked for the night. All during the hours of dark- ness reinforcements came hurrying to the aid of the colonists. Some 6v regulars and three companies of militia arrived from New Haven, artillery was collected from that city and from a supply of old guns . Fairfield, and General Sullivan, vho had been hurrying from the Hudson river with a small force, reached the scene. The British had hoped that, if the raid proved un- successful, it might at lgast caus: the weakening of the main Ameri- can army in New Jersey by the despatch of aid, but this was neither necessary nor done, as sufficient material was gathered from the im- mediate neighborhood. British Barely Escape In the morning the British stag- geredy on again with the Americans §n hot pursuit, harrying them so closely that they were pushed past a Dbridge they meant to use and were driven down to Compo hill, on a peninsula jutting into the sound, before they could be drawn up for battle. Arnold was again unhorsel as his nren swept after them, anid Colonel Lamb was wounded. This latter occurrence saved the day for the invaders, for the Americans thought Lamb had been killed and, irresolute after the rumor hadl spread, they withdrew. Fresh troops were thercupon landed from tha waiting ships and covered the re- treat of the exhausted and befuddl- ed men the Americans had so rude- ly pushed down the Saugatuck. The forcc was finally gotten safely aboard the ships again and the fleet ailed away The expedition had been virtually a complete failure. The incapacita- tion of the Hessians and the quick arrival of American troops had pre- vented Tryon from wreaking the havoc he had planned upon the 120 Britieh had been killed’and the men captured by Wooster brought the total loss, not including wound- ed, up to 160. The American cas- ualty list was just half as large. Arnold was rewarded for his work when congress raised him to the rank of major-general. It also pro- vided him with a new horse. GANDHT OUTLINES REBELLION PLANS Without Violence The following statement by Ma- hatma Gandhi, Indian nationalist leader, was received from Navsari by the Associated Press today in re- sponse 10 a request for an outline of the Indian situation from the na- tionalist standpoint. By Mohandas Karachand Gandhi Indian Nationalist Leader Navsari, India, April 26 (P—The national demand is not for the im- mediate establishment of indepen- dence but as a preliminary step to a conference that must tak; if independence is to be established peacefully and to remove certain prime grievances that are chiefly cconomic and moral. These are set forth in the clearest possible terms in my letter, miscalled an ulti- matum, to the viceroy. Salt Tax One Question Those grievances include the salt tax which in its incidence falls with cqual pressure upon the rich as well as poor and is over 1,000 per cent of the cest price having been made a monopoly. It has deprived tens of thousands of pcople of their sup- plementary occupation and the arti- ficially heavy cost of salt has made it very difficult, if not impossible, for poor people to give enough salt to their cattle and to their land. This unnatural monopoly is sustain- ed by laws which are only so-called but which are a denial of law. They give arbitrary powers to police known to be corrupt to lay their hands without warrant on innocent people, to confiscate their property and otherwisc molest them in a hundred ways. Civil resistance against the salt laws has caught the popular imag- ination as nothing else has within my experience. Hundreds of thous- ands of people, “including women and children from many village have participated in the open man- ufacture and sale of contraband salt. This resistance has, been an- swered by barbarous and unmanly repression. Instead of arresting people, the authorities have violat- ed the persons of people who have | refused to part with salt held gen- erally in their fists. To open their fists, their knuckles have been broken, their necks have been press- ed, they have been indecently as- saulted until they have been ren- dered senscless. Some of these as- saults have taken place in the pres- ence of hundreds of thousands of people who, although well able’ to protect the victims ‘and retaliate, being under a pledge of non-vio- lence, have not done so. Violence Cases Analyzed It is true that violence has broken out in Calcutta, Karachi, Chitta- gong anad now Peshawar. The Cal- cutta and Karachi events should be isolated from Chittagong and Pesh- awar. The Caleutta and Karachi incidents were an impulsive out- burst on the arrest of popular lead- ers. . The Chittagong and Peshawar incidents, though also caused . for some reason, scemed to have been serious and well-planned affairs, though wholly unconnected with each other, Chittagong being in the cxtreme east and Peshawar being on the northwest border of India. These disturbances have so far not affected other parts of India where civil disobedience has been going on in organized fashion and on a mass scale since the 6th inst. The people in other parts have remained non- violent in spite of great provocation. At the same time T admit that there is necd for caution, but I can say without fhe lcast hesitation that con- Stresses Fact Program Entirely | NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1930, T R ———— et enlirif Foon sistently. with the plan of civil dis- obedience every precaution con- celvable is being taken to prevent civil disobedience from being used as an occasign for doing violence. It should be noted that in Karachi seven wounded persons of whom two have died of their wounds, were vol- unteers engaged in keeping peace and restraining mob furies. It is the opinion of eyewitnesses that the fir- ing in Karachi was wholly unjusti- fied and that there was no firing in the air or at legs in the first instance. In fact the government have lost no opportunity of incensing the peo- ple. Many Leaders Imprisoncd Many of the best, the purest and the most self-sacrificing leaders have been arrested and imprisoned in many instances with mock trials. Sentences, though for the same of- fense, have varied with the idiocyn- crasics of the magistrate. In sever- al instances they have been for more than 12 months with hard labor on well known citizens. up to now ineteased with every con- viction. Thousands of people regard the manufacture.of contraband salt as part of their daily routine. That this is a movement of self- purinication is abundantly proved by the fact that women have coma into it in large numbers and are organiz- ing the picketing of liquor shops. Thousands have taken a vow to abstain from intoxicating liquor. In Ahmadabad, a strong labor center, the receipts of the canteens have dropped to 19 per cent and are still dropping. A similar manifestation is taking place in the district of Surat. ‘Women have also taken up the ques- tion of the boycott of foreign cloth. It is spreading all over India. Peo ple are making bonfires of the for- eign cloth in their possession. Khadi, namely homespun cloth, is so much in demand that the existing stock is well nigh exhausted. Each spin- ning wheel is much in demand and people arc beginning to realize more and mare the necessity of reviving handspinning in the cottages of the 700,000 villages of India. In my humble opinion a struggle 50 free from violence has a message far bevond the borders of India. I have no manner of doubt that after all the sacrifice that has already been made since the 6th of April, | the spirit of the people will be sus- base of supplies at Danbury, whils | tained throughout until India has become. independent and free to make her contribution to the pro- gress of humanity. NAVIGATION BiLL GOES TO SENATE to Protect Hartford ‘Washington, April 26 — Connec- ticut river's navigation project was sent to the senate from the housc late yesterday afternoon, traveling in the form of an official committee amendment to the Omnibus Rivers and Harbors bill. Unless it gets Con necticut opposition in the senate it is A million dollars for start of the work s provided for in the amend- ment subject to the conditions set forth by army engineers and two provisos asked by Representativ Hartford Memorial bridge shall not be disturbed and that the proposcd lock and dam to be built near Hart- ford shall not be built so near that it would in any way disturb city im- provements, or otherwise interfere with the city. To Facilitate Passage These provisos are expected to fa- cilitate passage of the project since it removes a large expense which would have had to be borne by the bridge owners in both states. This climinates the necessity for any change in the Hartford bridge and the Hampden County Memorial bridge in Springfield, neither of which will have to be raised. The other bridges., four in thi: state and four in the Bay state, wil have to be altered since their clear- ance is less than 40 feet in every instance. As to the dam and naviga- tion lock the government has not yet indicated where it “intends to place them although a report given con- gress 15 years ago gives the pro- posed location rather accurately. It say “The canalization of the river between Hartford and the lock-site at Enficld rapids involves the con- struction of a dam and lock near Hartford. The site furthest down- stream suitable for the construction of these works is about 1.5 miles above the Hartford bridge. ,*“An alternative site, affording rock foundation for the lock, occurs at Wilsons, about two miles further upstream, but the ledge dips so rap- idly towards the river that it will not afford a foundation for tho dam. The cost of exe~—ating and maintaining an open channel be- tween the two sites considerably overbalances the saving in first construction that would be realized At the upper site from the more vorable lock foundation. “The general plans for the lock and dam provide for a lock cham- ber 310 feet jn usable length and 45 feet in widtl. The height of lock walls is 16 fcet above Hartford datum. Based on a record of 17 vears a lock of this height will be flooded but 13 days in the ar when the river is otherwisc nay ble, on an average, and but 22 days in the year as a maximum. The dam has a length of approximately 1000 feet,” Since the ultimate decision rests with congress if the bill is passed with the Fenn provisos the army engineers will be compelled to obey orders. : It is pointed out that the Hart- ford-Holyoke navigation proposition is still a long way from commence- ment because of the numerous ar- rangements to be made beforc work can be started. Opposcs Plan Hartford, April 26 — Arthur P. Day, vice chairman of the Connec- ticut river, bridge and highway dis- trict, last night registered opposi- tion to changes in the Hartford bridge which would be necessary to permit navigation of the Connecti- cut river from Hartford to Holyoke, because of the interruption to traf- fic which would result.

The state’s attorney was informed Merion was wanted in Boston for larceny and he was asked that he be held on a fugitive warrant. the expense of installing a draw bridge would be justified by the amount of river traffic. Members of the commission said they would not, however, opposc construction of a channel which would not require the building of a draw bridge. BERLINGER MAY BE A" CHAMPION Pennsylvania Athlete Wins Five 0f 10 Decathlon Events Philadelphia, Apri (A—Barney Berlinger, just 21 and a junior at the University of Pennsylvania, probably will be the next world’s champion in all-around athletic ability, if he adds middle distance running to his al- rcady wide range ef accomplish- {ments. The ability o travel 1800 meters, slightly less than a mile, in anything like a respectable time ds | the 10 per cent needed to make Ber- linger the gredtest of American decathlon performer: For nine of the ten cvents com prising the gruelling decathlon on the Penn relay carnival yesterday, Berlinger hit a terrific pace in spit of unseasonable weather conditions on Franklin field. Over 90 per cent of the eight-hour track and field | test, big Barney was just ahout su- | preme. He won five of the first ni events. He high jumped over feet, pole vaulted 12 feet 6 inches and heaved the shot 40 feet. Tlc can do even better in these events, besides toss the javelin, discus and skim the hurdles with considerabl flourish. But along came the 1,500 meters and Barney's poor finish. Lead was in his feet and he barely staggered the distance. As it was he had enough to spare to beat his own car- | nival decathlon record and sct up | new standard of 7460.60S points. Dy collecting only 244 points in the last event, however, by contrast with an average of 800 points for all previous cvents, Berlinger fell far short of Ken Doherty's American mark of | 7784.68 points. Berlinger would have threatened the world's decathlon record held L Paavo Yrjola, of Finland, at 8 speed in the distance run. “Berlinger has improved con- tently and is yet far from his potential best,” said his coach, Law- on Robertson, today. “Barncy has |is in him to be the greatest all- around athlete I have ever seen. 1i | may never be a speed king but he | is young, 1emarkably strong and has great competitive temperament many respeets he is greater than Ji an; Indian w Robertson plans to groom Ber- | linger for a bid to regain world's ali- around honors for Uncle Sam in the 1932 Olympic mes.
