ing about thirty five. hundred men. After the last of this month our lines will be so weakened that the minutemen and militia must be called in for our defense, and these, being under no kind of government, will de stroy the little subordination I have been laboring to establish and run me into one evil while 1 am endeavoring 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, 1780. a:-n1tk i-sst a2 aS3
 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 handful of men across the Delaware in 1776, trembling for the fate of Amer ica, which nothing but the ihfatuation of the enemy could have saved; we should not have remained all the sue ceeding winter at their mercy, with sometimes scarcely sufficient body of men to mount the ordinary guard. We should not have been at Valley Forge, destitute of everything, in 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 it. The expenses of the war and the emissions of paper money have been greatly multiplied by it. We have 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, if not ruined, by such constant changes. There is every reason to believe that the war has been pro- tracted on this account"
 A little later Washington wrote re- garding that defeat 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 substitute is attempt ed it must prove illusory and ruinous.
 "In my ideas of the true system of war, the object ought to be to have a good army rather than a large one" :" During the entire war the lack of money entailed greatest suffering upon the army, but the men of the continen- tai army, with the exception of one or two regiments, were true to the end through hunger, cold, sickness, poverty at home, nakedness and de- feat. For this fidelity there were three | reasons-pa training and | George Washington.

 TO WASHINGTON
Probably the Only Man Who Could Have Won Liberty
 for the People.
Difficulties Which He Had to Encoun. ter Were Almost InsurmountabIe Lack of Proper Training Hampered ContinentaIs in
 All Their Battles.

~ FORGE WASHINGTON, the commander of the American \ A armies, knew better than any
 one else the offensive and de- fensive value of the forces under him; and he has left vivid written record of the relative value of untrained short-term men and of disciplined long-term body made of individuals of the same class. He plainly expressed his opinion, fully confirmed by military men since his time, of the army need ed by this country when, soon after the disaster at Camden, he wrote to congress-: "What we need is a good army, not large one.'
 Probably no war was ever carried on where the one side was represent ed in the field by so great proportion of unorganized troops, not under central national control, and no great commander, before or since, has ever succeeded with so rapidly shifting a body of badly equipped men.
 Bunker Hill Analysed.
 At the battle of Bunker Hill, an army of untrained American minute men and militia, under the command, however, of veteran officers like Pres colt, Stark, Putnam and Knowlton of the higher rank, and among the lower officers a sprinkling of, men expert enced in the French and English wars, from behind intrenchments hastily erected, but of value against low-pow- CT armament, successfully resisted two attacks of well-organized and disciplined British veterans, with a loss to the latter of 1,054 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 trained officers, made a third charge, and, although outnumbered, succeeded in driving the Americans, at the point of the bayonet, from their trenches, their supply of powder being exhaust ed and their muskets not having bay onets
 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 sheir supply of ammunition was not exhausted And they there by prevented the success of the CO lonial military plan. t5
 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. eralship of Washington, Greene, Schuyler, Lee and others, tAe Ameri- cans did not win a single victory over the, British regular troops when the latter were not outnumbered.
 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

PHOENIX, Feb. 16-Resident of Arizona may utilize their pockets or suit cases to bring liquor into the state for personal use but cannot or der by express or freight, according to an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen eral Jones after studying the Su- preme court decision permitting the i'm portation for personal use.
 Jones said the delivery by an eX- press company or other common cari riers would violate the law in that the companies would act as the agent and therefore cannot transport li- quor for personal use. The express companies and railroad companies, it is stated are withholding shipments pending decisions from their main offices on the question.

hand of patriots about him in the army and in congress.
 The congress presented as able and devoted men as were ever gathered in a single body, but they were not trained in the systematic methods of great deliberative bodies; and above all represented one of the very weak est forms of governmental power-a mere confederacy or league of several states or colonies and without real governmental functions.
 Although it assumed both executive and legislative powers, it had no au- thority to raise revenue and could only emit bills of credit, their redemption being pledged by the twelve United Colonies" It is not singular that the states refused to surrender to this loosely connected congress the control of the militia, with officers of state selection, gathered by sacrifice, for the protection of it's own state, not fore
