As the skirmish at Bunker Hill beatues a great battle of history In that It decided the American colonists to light the War of the Revolution, ao the victory over Burgoync at Saratoga takes similar rank, because for ad practical purpoaet It decided that contest and determined the establishment of the American republic. It* consequences were strikingly direct quite as much for the Inspiration they gave the American pa. ty In the British parliament as for the effect they produced In determining the French to Join with The Americans having suffered de_jat at White Flslru. Long Island, Forts Washington and Lee. Brandywine and Germantown, reverw* which outweighed the successes at Trenton. Bennington and Princeton, the British ministry determined to strike the decisive blow by splitting New England from the rest of the country. To this enu command of the Hudson river was to be gained I y the simultaneous advances of an army from Canada acd 0*1- from Now York, the two to meet at Albany. The British authorities were still of the belief that no raw troops could or would stand against trained British regulars in the open. The plan was ably formed. Had It succeeded there Is ever? human probability that the submission of the colo-

nies must have emmed.

Strong re-enforcements were sent to Canada, while In command of the Invading army was assigned General Burgoyne. This able and Interesting offleer la tbe Individual who appears In Bernard Shaw's play. “Th- Devil's IMsdple." as "Gentlemanly Johnny." Of regular troops, exclusive of artillery. be had 7.200. half of them Germans. He had also an auxiliary force of some im Canadians. Incidentally be summoned lo his aid the Indians of the lake region, by reason of which he was excoriated in America and condemned 1^ England, where Bc*ke pictured him as addressing “My gentle hyenas: my tender-hearied wolves." Advancing down Like George, he forced St. Clair to evacua'..- Crown Point and Us fortifications on July 5. 1777. Driving opposition before him. he reached tbe left bank of the Hudson on July SO. To oppose him congress hurried up Its pel. General Cites, while as an assistant Washington scut Arnold, one of the nvst fiery and valorous of leaders. To their standards flocked the provincial militia of the northern stetes. while Burgoyne made further preparations at

Fort Edward.

Brooke also forced the intrenchments on the right, where Breymao died in defense of his post. ThU gave the American* an abundance of suprlles as well as turning the British flank and securing command of the

rear.
