lution was not after all victory for the reIcoat>. Here are some excerpts from the report:
 Total American troops furnished during the revolutionary war. 396 ,O00 The Brit ish never had at any time more than t2 C00
 Only two military events of the war hai a direct bearing on the expulsion of the Brit ish. One was the capture of Burgoyne and the other the capture of Cornwallis and the latter event was brought about entir3ly through the assistance of the French.
 The bulk of the American troops were obtained by the payment of bounties Very few of the American troops were anything qucntly mutnous.
 Washington had twice as many troops as the British in 1775, but did not dare attack because of the unreliable character of the American troops.
 The British would never have been able to take Philadelphia if the various states had furnished troops demanded by Wash ington.
 Total American forces employed in the war of 1872, 527,G00. British only 67000.
 America won no land victories that had any bearing on the result. The much lauded sea victories had very little to do with stopping the War
 American generals were frequently com pclled to place armed guards over the militia to keep them from boiling at the first shot fired by the enemy.
 The defenders of the American capital, Washington City, although outnumberihg greatly the attacking force fled so rapdly that the British were able to kill but eight and wound but eleven.
 The overrated battle of New Orleans, which occurred after the treaty of peace had been signed, was won by superior force in an impregnabe position, when it was attacked by British force that shouli have known better than to assail such a position. At that after victory was won, large portion of the American defenders fled from the field in panic instead of pur- suing the defeated enemy.
