Every neutral nation's flag, provided they make it themselves to be respected, is con- sidered as neutral: the decrees of Berlin and Milan therefore do not comprehend it at all." 27 MARY WARREN CHAPTER ROXBURY, MASS.

Perkins, dt^aptcr llco^cnt The first organized resistance in Massachusetts to armed troops of Great Britain took place at the North Bridge, Salem, Feb. 26, 1775. Col. Leslie had been ordered from Boston with part of his regiment to seize seventeen cannon, which a committee of Provincial Congress had sent to North Salem to be fitted with carriages. Disembarking at Marblehead, they marched to Salem Arrived at the North Bridge, which must be crossed to reach the cannon, Leslie found the draw raised and, posted behind it, a company of militia men. They, with the citizens gathered there, contended that the road was private and not the King's highway. Leslie declared that he would obey his orders, at whatever cost. A compromise was effected by the counsels of Rev. Thomas Barnard, the soldiers being allowed to cross the bridge on Leslie's promise to countermarch and return without search for the cannon. During the controversy there were some acts of violence between the parties, and several of the citizens are said to have been slightly wound- ed by the British while scutthng some boats in which the latter were endeavoring to cross the river before the draw was lowered. This is claimed as the first instance of bloodshed in the Revolution. The affair is known as " Leslie's Retreat." IN CHARGE OF MRS. CHARLES E. GREENOUGH 910 Engraving, entitled "Triumph of Liberty."
