Congress III the winter OF 1776, 60
ognizing the necessity Of raising troops
to take the place Of those whose terms
expired, resolved to provide twenty
six regiments, with power to Wash
ington to select the officers, which re-
suited in many perplexities for him
and his general officers, for, as Wash
lngton wrote, Connecticut wanted no
Massachusetts man in her corps. Mas
sachusetts could see no necessity for
having q Rhode Island man in hers
and New Hampshire says 1t is very
hard that her experienced officers
should be discarded because her own
regiments cannot provide for them"
November II he wrote: MANY OF
the officers expected promotion, others
stood aloof to see what advantage they
could make for themselves. The diff,

Put Washington In Dilemma.
Up to November 10 only 966 men
had enlisted. BY November 20 they
had reached $500, and they all wanted
furlough. Washington wrote: "Our

Washington a Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once a classic and apparent
ly just about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen into disfavor. We
don't hear of it's being pointed to
with pride" as often as we did.
Perhaps if we do go back to it we
shall find that Washington, besides
being a soldier and a statesman, was
a seer.
And a seer is much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down a
cherry tree or a man that has never
told a lie.
A seer has a way Of projecting him
self into the future and finding a new
life there.
AS a prophet Washington is q vital
force today. But he is a force that
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington, the hero of Valley
Forge, was essentially a man of peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu'
| rity of this country lay, just as the
happiness of an individual did, in a
policy of noninterference.
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications.
On the surface it seems strange that

The American force was justly
proud of it's resistance and of the
heavy punishment it had inflicted, but
the result was, in spite of it's good
fight, a defeat to it's arms-perhaps
only through failure in the quarter
masters department. The British
however, carried the hill on account
of the better discipline of their line
the better control of their officers, and
because their supply of ammunition
was not exhausted. And they there
by prevented the success of the co

Continental Weakness.
This story in various ways was
many times repeated in the war Of
the revolution, always with the same
result. In spite of the brilliant gen
cralship Of Washington, Greene
Schuyler, Lee and others, the Ameri
cans did not win a single victory over
the British regular troops when thu
latter were not outnumbered.

Washington himself was a man OF
large property, and the wedding was
one of the most brilliant that had aver
been seen in a church in Virginia.
Bride ard bridegroom were attired in
all the magnificence which the fash
ions of that period made possible.
When she was married to Washing
ton, Mrs. Custis had two children sur
viving of the four of which she had
been the mother. To these two chill
dren, Washington, who had none Of
his own, was a devoted father. Later
in life these children died and Wash
ington adopted two of Mrs. Washing
tons grandchildren.
Mrs. Washington's faith in the wis
dom and firmness Of her husbands
patriotic our preceding and during
the Revolution failed.
She had discovered the greatness OF
her husband long before the people
that were Sc signally to honor him
had found it out in all its splendid pro-
portions.
During the war Washington visited
Mount Vernon only twice, but Mrs.
Washington was with him in New
York and Philadelphia and joined him
In camp whenever it was possible.

riage and previous to the Revolution

writes John D. Barry in the Washing
ton Times.
In fact, I can't think of any other
great man in the history of the world
who has been damaged in just the
same way, through being made to ap-
pear SO good.
The reason is that he has been pre-
eminently the children's hero.
He is a distinguished victim Of the
deceit we practice on children in the
name of education.
Only the very good boys and girls
care for the story of Washington n
the cherry tree.
The others, the majority, are bored,
or amused, or puzzled
And then there is the saying, dinned
into the ears Of American childhood,
"Washington never told a lie"
It alone alienates vast numbers OF
children from Washington. In their
little hearts it finds no answering
echo, no enthusiastic desire for emula-
ton.
For truth telling, much as we love
1t in children, and much as we labor
to graft it on those highly imaginative
minds, is often a virtue that develops
only with years, related to intelli.
gence and to mature character.
1t derives it's beauty largely from
association with other qualities more
sympathetic.
Do Real Damage to Truth.
Self-assertive truth-tellers often
seem rigid in character. They do
great damage to truth by making it
seem, not beautiful, as it should be,
but hideous.
Even in minds of maturity, to the
reputation of Washington there still
clings a suggestion of the comic.

stroy the little subordination I have
been laboring to establish and run me
into one evil while I am e~ndeavoring
to avoid another. But the less must
be chosen"
After five years of experience in
command of the armies, Washington
thus expressed himself in a letter to
the president of the congress, dated
August 20, 1880:
Had we formed a permanent army
in the beginning, which, by the con-
tinuance of the same men in service.
had been capable Of discipline, we
never should have had to retreat with

We should not have been at Valley
Forge, destitute of everything, in q
situation neither to resist nor to re-
tire. We should not have seen the
country ravaged, our towns burned,
the inhabitants plundered, abused.
murdered, with impunity.
Army Expenses Doubled.
"'The arrangement of our finances is
essentially to be ascribed to 1t. The
expenses of the war and the emissions
Of paper money have been greatly
multiplied by it. We have a great part
OF the time had two sets Of men to
feed and to pay-the discharged men
going home and the levies coming in.
"Our discipline has been much hurt,
Il not ruined, by such constant
changes. There Is every reason ia
believe that the war has been pro.
tracted on this account"
A little later Washington wrote re
garding that de eat Of General Gates
at Camden: Regular troops alone are
equal to the exigencies Of modern war
fare, as well for defense as offense
and wherever q substitute is attempt
ed 1t must prove illusory and ruinous
