Tomorrow N the 16th of July, in 1546, Anne Askew, an Eng: lish woman, was burned to death during the reign of Henry VIII, She wag accused of heresy in regard to the Sacraments, and after having been tortured she was burned at the stake. Her husband was among her accusers, and the lord mayor of London was the “incendiary.” In 1779, on the 16th of July, Stony Point was taken by the Americans during the, War of the Revolution. Stony Point, a high*hill on the Hudson River below West Point, had been strongly fortified by the British. The assault was a surprise attack begun during the night. Washington had placed General Anthony Wayne in command and given him 1,200 picked men for the enterprise. The British garrison was com- posed of 600 men” Soon after midnight the American force, with fixed bayonets, advanced silently against both sides of the hill. They carried no powder to insure silence, and, armed only with their bayanets, they stormed the fort‘in face of the British fire and overwhelmed the garrison. The American loss was 98 ki¥ed and wounded, and of the British 60 were killed and wounded, while 543 were made prisoners, In 1850, on the 16th of July, Margaret Fuller, an American writer, her husband, the Marquis d’Ossoli, and their child were drowned in a shipwreck off Fire Island. The Marquis d’Ossoli had distinguished him- self in Italy during the Italian war for independence and was returning to America with his wife, who was bringing her history of the Italian war to an American publisher. On-the 16th of July, in 1857, Beranger, a popular French lyric poet, died LEADER OF MEN BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics for The Star Joshua was a slave in the brickyards of Egypt. He was born in the hut of his Jewish slave-mother, but he became the leader of the 2,000,000 slaves who were swept out of “the house of bondage” into “the prom. ised land.” . And here are some of the reasons why he became great: at the feet of Moses—the great law-giver —and absorbed something of his spirit and lity. “He had a friend” is the secret of most men’s greatness. Joshua gladly served Moses as one who was greater than he. He had learned the lessons of obedience and humility, by the Joshua was dominated spirit that comes from God. “Ta Joshua @ man in whoni is the spirit of G was the command that came to Moses when he selected his successor. He was confident of victory. When the 12 spies were sent to Canaan they brought back a discourag: ing report: They declared that the “giants” were too great to be overcome, “Let us go up at once and possess it,” sald Joshua and his friend Caleb. If the Israclites had followed Joshua's advice they pose 1 the land in 40 days instead of wandering in the desert for 40 years, Joshua had great faith In God--or perhaps it would % | be more accurate to say that he had faith in a great God. He won that marvelous victory in the city of Jericho, when the walls fell down at the blowing of the ram's horns. It was at his request that the sun stood still in the yalfey of Ajalon. Joshua honored God, “As for me and my we will serve the Lord,” was his family motto, Dwight L. Moody, the greatest evangelist of this generation, heard a sermon in Boston when Re was a young man, in which the preacher said: “God is waiting to find a man thru whom He can show the world what He ean do with one who stands And Moody declared: “I'll be house, that man.” God needed a Joshua to succeed Moses, someone to succeed Moody—not merely gelist, but in any other vocation in life, He needs as an evan | All On the Issue of Americanism There Can Be No Compromise WHAT DOES LABOR WANT? BY DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, What Labor wants is Democracy. It is not more wages. Even when it gets more wages it is not satisfied. In countries where labor is best paid it is most insurgent. It is not shorter hours. It is not welfare work. It is not uplift. It is not charity of any kind, nor cod- i nor sympathy, nor {nor any such thing. | Some laborers and some representatives of labor may say they want these things, perficial, When you look deep into the heart of the workingman, you discover that all he wants is democracy. What does that mean? It means he wants to be treated as a human being. He does not want to be bought and sold | as a chattel, to be bossed as a slave, nor |to be herded as a steer. He feels he is a man, mental desire of a man is his manliness. That is, that he may determine his own life and the conditions under which he ishall work; that he shall have the privilege of expressing his own opinions, making his ‘own mistakes, choosing his own friends and \forming his own organizations. the trouble with labor past, that the man who supports himself by his daily work is somehow inferior to the man who is supported by an endow- ment.
