Of any tests or examinations they may
have had during the two months. This
is the case and they must stand 100 per

stand 100. This may work a hardship
In some cases, but is used in our

Never did dictator indeed find him

Yet as fast as he gathered in new troops
others left him, for the bane of short en-
listments poisoned everything. He was
to make his army as he fought and even
for that he had only these shifting sands
to build on. "They come" he wrote Of
the militia, "you cannot tell when and
act you cannot tell where, consume your
provisions, waste your stores and leave
you at last at Criti al moment" He
was as near desperation as he ever came
in his life We can read it all now in his
letters, but he showed nothing Of it to his
men. Schuyler, always faithful, sent him
some troops. Sullivan, too came with
those that Lee had tried to lead, and then
it was found that the terms of these very
troops were expiring and that by the new
year he would be left with only l, 800, al
though at the moment he had between
200 and 5000 men still with him and in
outlying detnchments. Opposed to him
were the British, 80, 900 strong, with head
quarters in New York, and strong divi-
sions cautioned in the New Jersey towns.
Outnumbered six to ono, i'll provided in
every way and with dissolving army, it
was terrible situation to face and con-
quer. But Washington rose to the height
of the occasion. Under the strain his full
greatness came out-no more yielding to
councils now, no more modest submission
Of his own opinion to that Of others. A
lesser man, knowing that the British had
suspended operations, would have drawn
bis army together and tried to house and
recruit it through tho winter. Washing
ton, with his firm grasp of all the mill
tary and political conditions, knew that
he ought to fight and determined to do SO.
