sible without legions Of regulars. At first they
ridtculed our awkward efforts, but Il was not
long before they were glad TO send out Officers
to take notes OF our doings. Both the French
and English Governments took lessons Of us
during the war, and the United States kept q
sort Of military school, whersat the rest OF the
world might learn how far they were behind
the times. Our, Go yernment 'inaugurated a
