I, keep tn mind that rs that no people,
however warlike in spirit and am
hition, in natural courage and scH
confidence can be made at once BY
uniforms and guns, q military force
Until they learn 20 drill and disci-
pine they are a mob, and the theory
that they can be made an army over
night has cost this nation billions of
dollars and Thousands Of lives.
THE history Of Won Steuben's SER
vice shows him q kindly, considerate,
| brave and accomplished soldier. AS
| inspector general his achievements
were not the success of an independ-
ent command, but they were the prep
aration by persistent but tedious
drilling and discipline, of men to Serve
effectively under other commanders
and to win for them victory. 1t
seemed a thankless task, fer it had
none of the spectacular in it..
"Steuben asked for no reward, ex-
cept that if his services were satisfac-
tory at tho end Of the war, he should
be recoInpcnsated for the sacrifices he
had made in leaving his home and CIV
ing up lucrative rank and office.
Washington, that calm, sane, Just
judge of men, recognized fully the
Pdeht that he and the army and the Deo-
pie owed to Won Steuben and it is
gratifying to know he gave his evil
dence as lie lay down his command of
the army in a letter full of expire ssions
OF gratitude to his comrade-in-arms,
whose important aid at a critical juno
ture he fully appreciated.
when Baron Steuben came to this
country he found Germans who lad
preceded linn and who, like linn. had
elected 70 make this their permanent
home. Since his day, millions of his
countrynen have come to be Ameri
cans, and it adds great interest to our
celebration ana emphasizes the prUpri-
ETY. of the action of Congress in erect
ing this statue to know that the Ger
man race since The revolution has made
SO large Il part of our population and
played 50 prominent IL part i'll the
great growth and development Of our
country. IT is particularly appropriate
that there is present the German am
bassddor. the personal representative
Of the famous successor of Frederick
the Great. The Germans who have
become American citiZanS and their
descendants may well take pride il
this occasion and i'll this work OF art,
modelled by the hand of an American
OF German descent, which commence
rates the valued contribution made by
a German soldier to the cause of
American freedom at the time of its
birth"

III the imposing military and civic pa
rade and in the unwilling ceremonies
President Taft paid high tribute to
Won Steuben for his work in bringing
efficiency to the American arms. Miss
Helen Taft, the Presidents daughter.
pulled the silllen cords which released
the American flags draped about the
statue. Count Won Bernstorft, the
German ambassador: Representative
Richard Bartholdt of st. Louis, and
Charles Hexamor. president of the
German American Alliance, delivered
addresses in which they rccounted the
services of Won Steuben. Secretary of
War Dickinson presided.
The scene at the unwilling was one
OF unusual impressiveness. Lafayette
park lay deep in snow. An amphi-
theatre of tiag-draped stands had been
erected about the statue. Soldiers,
sailors and marines We're drawn up in
the streets adjacent to the square.
AS Miss Taft pulled the unveiling
cord, Il flash signal to the Washington
monument grounds soon was answered
by the roar of Il cannon salute. The
cord leading to the flag draped statue
became fast in some manner Miss
Taft had to tug at it for some time
and finally it broke. Several sailors
rushed forward and soon carried the
flags away. The great throng about
the statue stood with heads barred
while the Star Spangled Banner" was
played.
President Taft's remarks follow:
we dedicate today the last of the
monuments which fill the four corners

During the year forest fires burned
over an area of 3,000,000 acres, at a rough
estimate at a loss of $25,60o,0OO and the
