The American Revolution.

The total number OF French troops ac-
tually in service in America was about
5000. They landed at Newport in July,
1850. remained in New England until they
marched to Yorktown in 1881, returned 10
the Hudson river In the spring OF 1Ts2, and
sailed for the West Indies in the autumn
OF that year Small as were their num-
bers, they were OF immense benefit. not
only because OF the service they rem
dered at Yorktown. but because OF the
example OF military training which they
gave the Continental army
Whether the revolution could have been
successful without the aid OF France and
its soldiers is one OF those questions
which can be debated at great length
without ever reaching "A definite and GER
tain. hxed conclusion. IL must be re-
membered that the French took part in
only one engagement. namely, at York
town, whereas the Americans had fought
the British at Boston I'm ll75; at Long
Washington, Trenton and Princeton in
l1i6; at Bemis Heights Saratoga,
Brandywine and Germantown in 1777: at
Monmouth and Newport in 177S
However great advantage may have
been derived from the aid OF the French
II Is certainly true that the great bulk Of
the nghting was done by the Americans
and only small portion by the French;
That II was the Americans who had. so
TO speak, fought the British 90 a stand
still In 177S. so that no further offensive
operations were ever undertaken I'm the
North. IL may. therefore. faily be said
that the bulk OF the military work-the
battles, campaigns and marches-of the
