WHEN AMERICANS WAITED,
revolutionary Patriots ADNiouSly
Watched foe >uccor from a
Foreign Country.

While the Cuban patriots were
a~rNiously awaiting the arrival of the
/ American fleet carrying the army OF
/ liberation. for which they had been
Tor weeks eagerly looking, the fact
was recalled that there was a time
when American patriots were as
I anNiously watching for similar sue
I cor from a foreign country. The cap
ture OF Durgoyne'S army on October
/ Il, M, was followed a few months
later on February G., MS, by a treaty
ot alliance and commerce between
France and the United States. Pur-
suaut 10 the stipulations of that
treaty a French squadron for the as
sistance of the American patriots was
fitted out at Toulon, consisting of -
ships Of the line and four frigatcs Of
superior size. Count d'Estainc, q
brave and successful naval officer. was
appointed TO the command, and on
April 10. HIS. the fleet sailed for
America carrying with it several
thousand troops. The American pa
triotS had been at this time carving
on single-handed for nearly three
years their struggle for independence.
All their important seaports, except
Boston, were at this time in the pos
session OF the British, who also held
Philadelphia, Washington ard his
army were still in Valley Forge.
The surrender Of Burgoyue had. of
course, greatly encouraged the Amer
leans, but after three years conflict
they were apparently not much nearer
driving the British from their country
and achieving independence than were
the Cubans a few months ago, after a
similar period of struggle. before the
United States decided 10 come to their
assistance.
Some idea Of the eagerness with
which the Americans l20 years ago
looked for the arrival Of the French
fleet and army can be gathered from
the longing felt 10y the Cuban patriots
Of the present day for the appearance
Of the United States troops upon their
shores. On May ). us, Gen, Washing
ton ordered a special Thanksgiving TO
be offered by the chaplains ait Valley
Forge for the completion Of the
French alliance and the whole army TO
make IN enthusiastic celebration of
the event. News travelled slowly in
those days and the treaty was nearly
three months old when this ctlebra-
tion took place. Finally, on July s,
lis, it appeared off the Cares of the
Delaware and communicated its pres

Shall we Have An Imperial Policy

To many minds the armed Intervention
of the United States in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines seems like an aggres-
sive departure from the policy laid down
by Washington in his farewell address of
1896, and reinforced by Monroe in his
famous message of 1S23-of avoiding all
enterprises and all responsibilities of all
kinds beyond the limits of the two Ameri-
can continents.
There have been, however, many prece-
dents for such procedure during the past
century and quarter; so many that they
may be divided into six periods Mill
tary expeditions and occupations in the
Revolutionary and Barbary wars, ITO
1915: Expeditions and occupations for
territorial expansion, 1877 1921; 3. Rela-
tons with European countries, 1922 1885
4. Aggressive expeditions, 1886 1860; ).
Relations with American neighbors, 1861
1872; 6. Commercial and philanthropc
interventons and expeditions, 1873 1898.
For the details of the armed invasions,
we refer the reader to the article. 1.-The
United States in Foreign Military Expedi-
tions,' by Professor Albert Bushnell
Hart of Harvard University in Harper S
Magazine for September. Here our space
limits us to give Professor Harris conclu-
sions as to their result The first is the
remarkable success of all the serious in
terventions and expeditions authorized by
the Federal Government, with the eXcep
ton of the invasions of Canada. The
second is the increase of territory and
prestige which the expeditions have
brought to the natiCn, even when I'M
rghteOuSly undertaken. The third is the
