the cost Of living, improve the sanl-
tary conditions and encourage the

of wretchedness from which no human
efforts will deliver them. The fate Of
unborn millions will now depend un.
der God, on the courage and conduct
of this army. Our cruel and unre-

choice of brave resistance, or the
most abject submission. We ha's,
therefore, to resolve to conquer or to
die.
Our own, our country's honor, calls
upon US for vigorous and manly ex-

we shall become infamous to the
whole world. Let us, then, rely on the
goodness Of our cause, and the aid

WashInaton the Man.

Washington occupies unique place,
not only in the history Of the United
States, but in the history Of the world
No man of such recent years enjoys
such a splendid perspective. America
views him, not as man but as a
demigod. He looms vast, hero with
the awesome, inspiring splendor that
invests the deities of Greek mytholo-
gy. And yet, Washington the man is
very real to us.
May his memory be cherished for
ever.
