If WASHINGTON Had Become a British Sailor

gratifed to the extent of a place as midship-
man.
Georges father was dead and Major Wash
ington stood in the place of father to the boy.
He approved the plan and labored long WIN
Mary Washington, the mother Of George. she
was opposed from the beginning, but finally
gave her consent. The dunnage of George was
sent on board a ship of the royal navy lying
in the Potomac off Mount Vernon. But at
the last minute Mary Washington fatty re-
belled and withdrew her permission. Her sig
nature was necessary to his enlistment and
everything stopped short. Tradition says that
George came back from the ship with his dun
mage, blubbering like any other sorely disap-
pointed 14-year-old boy.
The author holds that, If Washington had
become a British midshipman on that large
and important day of 1746 he would have en-
tered upon a career that would probably have
held him fast all the rest of his days. The
years between 1746 and 1776 were of great
activity on the sea.
Thus, even If George Washington had left
the British navy at the beginning of the revo-
luton and cast his lot with the colonists,
would he have been the Washington that we
know?
Assuming that the revolution was fought
WITHOUT Washington. what would have, been
the outcomef On this point the author says;

BOYS WELL-MEANT WARNING
Nautical Call Somewhat Out OF Place
When Saying Grace Mas
in Order.

There is a Trenton boy who spends
his summers with an uncle, who is an
enthusiastic sailor. Last summer the
lad was particularly impressed by his
uncle's manner of singing out Hard.
a-lee!" as a signal for al hands to put
their heads down whenever, in lacking
or coming about the boom, such pro-
ceeding was necessary.
Shortly after his return from his
uncle's place on the coast, the boy was
taken by his parents to visit his grand
father in the south of the state.
Now it appears that the grandfather
is a devout churchman, never failing
to say grace at meals. 1t being the
ads first visit, he gazed upon the IN
usual preliminary with some wonder;
and accordingly, after leaving the Ia
BILE, was rebuked for not having bowed
his head like the others.
The next morning the boy showed Q
the effects of his rebuke. When all
were seated at table and his grand
father inclined his head preparatory to
asking the blessing, the youngster
caused the utmost CONSERVATION by
piping out in a shrill voice:

els it too much to say that the American
republic would have been fatherless without
Washington? Perhaps an arm might have
been found-though that is doubtful-that
could have welded his sword. But where was
the brain, the patience, the tact, the determi-
nation, that would have composed the differ
ences in the American councils and have kept
the discordant colonies and the jealous COM
manders together? Without his steady
ing hand in the war the American army would
have followed a devious course to death and
the young republic one to its destruction"
Mr.. Chamberlin then quotes from Washing
toms contemporaries to show the decisive part
he played in the formation of the union OF
the states after the war and contends that no
other man could have concentrated the conf
dence and affection of all Americans. He con-
cludes:
Washington was the pivot upon which all
things turned. Lacking such a pivot, the ma
chinery Of the American republic would have
tumbled# into ruin. Happy the choice OF the
Virginian mother who could not spare her
boy on that summer day and sent aboard the
man-of-war in Potomac's stream for his dun
nage!"

OOHF THE boy George Washington had
become a British midshipman" is one
the % "ifs" considered by Joseph Ed
gar Chamberlin in his interesting
little volume, "The Ifs of History"
While we do not know much about che
boyhood of George Washington, it is generally
accepted as historically true that in 1746, when
he was ID years of age, a warrant was OBJ
tanned for him as a midshipman in the British
navy.
This may wei have been true. for it was
the most natural thing in the world, as Mr..
Chamberlin points out. Major Lawrence

older In years. was the owner of Mount Yer

been in the kings service at the siege OF Car
