Certainly things looked desperate

The Congress was sinking into more
and more helpless inefficiency. Definite

Washington was Obliged to levy sup

his army; and in spite of their stanch
loyalty to him. his men grew mutinous
in sheer disgust with the weak and
faithless government they were expected
to serve. Wholesale desertion began, as
many as 100 men a month going over TO

The country seemed not so much dis

weary of waiting and hoping; looking
stolidly to see the end come.
