In factory towns the business men are opposed to the sale of liquor on the same ground. The grocer, butcher and merchant find bad credits among their drinking customers.

Fifty American on Soldiers of Fortun By Albert Payson Terhune WHERE CAN IT BE? i NO, 27.—ETHAN ALLEN. CROWD of gaping English townfolk, so runs the story, stood staring! at @ cage, or cell, behind whose bars raged a homespun-clad giants He was the Yankee rebel—the “Green Mountain outlaw”—Eitham Allen, And the British flocked to gaze at him, as at a atrange beast. One) farmer {fs said to have thrust a piece of iron through the bars, which in his fury snapped dn two, This scene was the climax of a dramatic story. Ethan Allen was born {n Connecticut im 1787. As a young man, moved to Vermont and promptly plunged into the whirtpool of events that were turning that peaceful region into an armed camp, In viding up the colonies, the stretch of land known e# Vermont had by misa take been granted both to New York and New Hampshire, A dispute fold, lowed and in 1764 the future “Green Mountain State” was formally dec! to be a part of New York. New Hampshire was already dividing V« into townships. New York sent surveyors to do the same thing. Allen was by this time a local leader. He auggested that the Vermonters get of the New York surveyors by applying the “beech sear” to them In words, to take beechwood sticks to them and deat them so unmercifully that would never stop running unti they Bn cafe back in Now Yor. This was Gone. Thrashing the New York ent more surveyors and sent New York Invaders. deputy sheriffs to protect them. By arm S16 force Allen thrashed the sheriffs and th pot drove away the surveyors and the settlers who had recetved land-grants from New York. Allen loved a fight and he was a born leader. When an appeal of his to Albany failed, and strongest bands of men were sent from New York to enforce the latter’s right to Vermont, Allen raised a farmer regiment known as the “Green Mountain Boys,” and the invaders to do their worst. The Governor of New York declared Allen en outlaw end offered §10 for big capture. But the reward was never won. Allen and Green Mountain Boys eons tinued to beat off their enemies, Then came the Revolution, and quarrels bew tween the ovlonies were merged into defense against Bngiand. With 300 of his Green Mountain Boys Allen early in 1776 marched (without. regular orders) against the British forts on Lake Champlain. Benedict Arnold who, with 400 militiamen, had deen ent nort, by Congress for the eame purpose, joined htm. Allen swooped down on the strong British fort at Ticonderoga en@ nded {ta surrender “in the name of the Great Jehoveh and the Continental Congress!” He took Fort Ticonderoga, Crown Point and other defenses on the lake, as well as a British sloop of war. The whole Champlain region was in hie hands; including greet stores of captured arms, ammunition and provisions. ‘This daring exploit forced Congress to reward the Green Mountain Boys an@ to make the former “outlaws” regular soldiers, Allen, protected by Congress, foreed public recognition from the unwilling New York Assembly that had once clamored for his arrest. In October of the same year he tn: ed Canada and, accompanied by a force under Col. Brown, planned to storm Montreal. Brown at the last minute left Allen in the lurch, and the attack failed. Allen retreated before the far stronger British force and wus captured. Loaded with chains, he was shipped to London and was told he should be hanged as soon as he touched land there. He was treated with brutal cruelty during his imprisonment in Eng~ land. Many stories are told of the indignities he was forced to suffer. In 17 he was exchanged and found himself onc bre a free man and in hie native land. But prison cruelty had broken b alth and he retired to his Vermont home to get well Soon he was tn the field again, as commander of the Vermont militia, an@ fighting with all his old fierce courage. The British tried to bribe him to join in a plan for annexing Vermont to Canada. He dem: JOHN, | TOOK OH (T To Buy You A \ Piet!

But he took a long time to make S. 49 UP his mind. Meanwhile, of course, Vermont was spared the ravages of invasion that swept other colonies. Thus, by strategy, Allen preserved his beloved district from arm. After chus paralyzing all British attacks upon Vermont for as long a time |e possible, he finally rejected the bribe. For this clever hesitation Allen later charged by our Government with treason; but was triumphantly acquitted, After the war Allen went to Congress. There he fought as energetically as in battle to make Vermont a State. But, as New York still claimed the Green Mountain territory, he found himself tn difficulties. with the necessity for a reform in the liquor business.
