Foreign Aid in the Revolutionary War.

The subject of history will now be
resumed in this column, and the
Foreign Aid phase of the Revolu,
tionary War will be discussed next.
The following article is largely
compiled from Bancroft.
In the opinion of this fascinating
historian, the battle of Trenton was
a crisis in the life of the struggling
patriots of America, who were bold
enough to assert their liberties, but
not yet wise or experienced enough
to form a strong federation. Before
the hour of that battle, "the life of
the United States fickered like a
dying flame"
But the Lord of Hosts" wrote the
Pennsylvania Lutherans, "heard the
cries of the distressed and sem an
angel for their deliverance."
"All our hopes" declared the Tory
Lord George German, "were blasted
by the unhappy affair at Trenton"
On the 18th of September, 1910,
less than three months after the
great Declaration, the members of
Congress had adopted an elaborate
Elan of treaty to be proposed to
France. They wished France to en-
gage in d war with England on her
W behalf. and by this diversion to
leave America the opportunity of es-
t%ablishing her indeDendence.
Benjamin Franklin, sent to nego-
tiate the treaty, reached Paris on the
twenty-tirst of December, four days
before the victory at Trenton. As
no notice had preceded him, the story
was spread in England that he was
a fugitive for safety. To this, Ed
mund Burke replied, II will never
believe that he is going to conclude
a long life which has frightened
every hour it continued, with so foul
and dishonorable a flight"
In Paris, our philosopher-citizen,
good-humored, dignifed, easy of |
manners, plainly dressed, took by
storm the hearts of the lively French.
The Americans were insurgents"
never "rebels," and their cause was
the cause of all mankind; they were
fighting for the liberty of France in
defending their own. Some of the
constitutions, separating
the state from the church and estab-
fishing freedom of worship, we're
translated, and read with rapture.
The French people had not forgot
that the English had humiliated
hem in the earlier half of the cen
on the battlefelds Of Europe.
and America. They thirsted
an opportunity to see their
naughty enemy humbled.
