stroy the little subcrdination 1 have
been lahoring to establish and run me
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 CT discipline. we
never should have had to retreat with
a handful of men across the Delaware
in 1776, trembling for the fate CT Amer
lea, which nothing but the i%nfatuation
Of TIE enemy could have saved; we
should not have remained all the sue
ceeding winter at their mercy, with
sometimes scarcely a sufficient body

Forge, destitute CT everything, in a
situation neither to resist nor tc re-
tire. We Should net have seen the

essentially to be ascribed to it. The

multiplied by it. We have d great part

Squabble Over Officers.
Congress in the winter Of 1775, rec
cgnizing 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 p%erplexities 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 a 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"

had enlisted. BY November % they
had reached $500. and they all wanted
furlough. Washington wrote: Our

Martha WASHINGTON.

Washington himself was a man OF
large property. and the wedding was
one of the most brilliant that had ever
been seen in a church in Virginia.
Bride and bridegroom we're attired in
all the magnifcence 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
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
patriotic course preceding and during
the Revolution w failed.
She had discovered the greatness OF
her husband long before the people
that were SC sig1ally to honor him
had found it out il all its splendid pro-
portions.
During the war Washington visited
Mount Vernon Only twice, but Mrs.
Washington was with him in New
York ard Philadelphia and joined him
in camp whenever it was possible.

riage and previous to the Revolution

~ GORGE WASHINGTON, the
commander of the American
armies, knew better than any
one else the offensive and de-
fensive value of the forces under him;
and he has left q vivid written record
Of the relative value Of unframed
short-term men and Of a disciplined
long-term body made Of individuals Of
the same class, He plainly expressed
his opinio1s ny confirmed by military
men since his time, Of the army need
ed by this country when, soon after
the dt:Aaster at Camden, he wrote to
congress-: what we need is a good
army, not a large one"
Probably no wal vas yer carried
on where the one side was represent

OF unorganized troops, rot under a

commander, before Or since, has ever
succeeded with Sc rapidly shifting a

Bunker Hill Analysed.
At the battle Of Bunker Hill, an
army Of unframed American minute

however, of veteran officers like Pres

the higher rank, and among the lower
officers a s%prinkling OF men expert
enced in the French and English wars,
from behind intrenchments hastily
erected, but Of value against low-pow-
er armament, successfully resisted
two attacks of well-organized and
disciplined British veterans, with q
loss to the latter Of 1854 killed and
wounded. But these same troops, by
virtue not of superior individual cour
age, but of their combined valor and
discipline, were rallied by their we'll

ed and their muskets not having bay
Onets.
The American force was justly
proud of its resistance and OF the
heavy punishment it had inflicted, but
the result was, in spite Of it's good
fight, a defeat to its arms-perhaps
only through failure in the quarter
masters department. The British,
however, carried the hill en- 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

Continental Weakness.
This story in various ways was
many times repeated in the wal Of
the revolution, always with the sane
result. In spite Of the brilliant gen
eralship OF Washington, Greene,
Schuyler, Lee and others, the Ameri-
cans did not win a single victory over
the British regular troops when the
latter were not out~nCn1bered.
A brief examination Of the powers
OF the Continental Congress will show
what were the chief causes of this
weakness in our armies that led SO
near to the collapse of our national
defense and caused the intense anxiety
and distress to Washington and the

After independence had been won,
she bore herself with great personal
dignity as befitted her station as the
wife Of the first citizen.
Washington was approaching his
sixty-eighth year when he died. Mrs.
Washington accepted the separation
calmly, only observing that she would
soon join him. She survived him two
years ard a half.
That she could have at all times a
view Of his grave on the lawn, she
moved to an attic room that over
looked the spot, which she occupied
until her own death. For the easier
coming and going Of a favorite cat a
hole was cut rear the bottom of the
door of this apartment.
Before she died Mrs. Washington
destroyed her entire correspondence
with General Washington, for she
would not permit that the confidence
they had shared together should be
made public"

the ideal love match, and was followed
