Washington's Difficult Task.

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as commander-in-ch of the
continental army were most compli-
Gated and immense. The theater of
the struggle was vast one, geogra ph-
ically, stretching along the Atlantic
coast from Massachusetts to South
Carolina, while the whole population
was only three millions-not very
much greater than that OF the state OF
Michigan, and not so great into a mil
lion as that OF Illinois. Out of this
small, scattering and peaceful popula-
ZION an army was to be raised, organ
lied and equipped capable of contend
ing with the chief military and mari
time power Of the globe. And II was
not to be a struggle between govern
ment and government, between one ma
ton and another. IL was a rebellion
and there was really no central autbor-
ity, no arms or warlille stores, no navy
no treasury or financial system or re-
sponsibility. 1t was only a brave ana
patriotic people small in numbers
without discipline or military expert
ence. without arms and without money
rushing thus bare-handed into a CON
fiict with the mother-country, their
own government: a powerful nation,
which had recently been raised by the
genius of the elder Pitt to the front
rank among the great warlike nations
OF the world-a nation whose military
posts and possessions already dotted

Washington and Napoleon.

Great soldiers are to be judged no;
alone by success, by battles fought and
victories won-though this, of course,
is the great popular test-but by all the
circumstances and difficulties in which
they are placed. There are great com
manders in history who have won fame
by avoiding battles, like the Roman
Fabius, and even by great retreats like
Xenophon with his ten thousand
Greeks. IL Washington is to be COM
pared, to his disadvantage, with Ma
poleon, then the popular question is.
would Napoleon, under the same cir
cumstances, have done any better? 1t
is enough for any commander that he
fills the great measure of his require
ment. This, of course, is not saving
that Washington would have filled the
place of Napoleon In the vastly differ
ent field and circumstances in which
that great soldier won his fame. Nor
should it be forgotten, all the while,
that ultimately Washington succeeded
and founded a nation, while Napoleon
failed and lost an empire.

Had No Personal Ambition.

Even from this briefest outline of
Washington's career in the revolution
it will be seen that he had little op-
portunity for personal distinction as
a commander. He was an unlucky
general; fortune did not seem To
smile upon him and he had more de-
feats than victories. Long Island
White Plains, Brandywine, German
town-all these were defeats; some OF
them disastrous. Monmouth was little
more than a drawn battle, while TO
offset these, Trenton and Princeton,
while brilliant in conception and exc
cution and great in effect. were so
small in the numbers engaged that they
amounted to little more than success

were with Hessans and not with Brit
ish regulars. Yorktown was, indeed.
great and browning success, but it
was won with superior numbers and

Greatest Figure In History.

Hardly a better instance does his
tory afford OF patience under provoca-

difficulties, OF sncOnquerable will and
courage, holding on so long and com
ing out triumphant at last over such
mighty opposition. These great quail
ties, as we have already seen. belonged
TO the man more than to the soldier.
Ii was indeed the great man behind the
soldier, the man with the great pa
triotic heart, with the wise head. and
the lofty, mistaken soul, that brought
us through that long and tremendous
struggle and gave us our glorious place
and opportunity among the nations
No other man on this continent but
he could have done it. Greene,
among the generals OF the revolution
would have come nearest to il, bur ne
would have failed.
But in looking over the whole field
and record, in the light OF all ths facts
and history, it will be seen that Wash
ingtOn made no military mistakes, that
he improved all his opportunities. that
his generalship will stand the test of
criticism. He struck whenever he had
the chance. his plans were good. and
when compelled, his retreats wers
