After FIVE years of experience In
command OF the armies. Washington
thus expressed himself In q letter to
the president OF the congress. dated
August 20. 1880:
Had we formed permanent army

tfnuance Of the same men In service,
had been capable OF discipline, we
never should have had to retreat with

OF the enemy could have saved: we

sometimes scarcely q sufficient body
OF men to mount the ordinary guard.
We should not have been at Valley

tire. We should not have seen. the

expenses OF the war and the emissions

feed and to pay--the discharged men
going homo and the levies coming in.
Our discipline has been much hurt,
IL 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 q substitute is attempt
cd 1t must prove illusory and ruinous.
''In my ideas OF the true system OF
war, the object ought to be to have q
good army rather than 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 ono
or two regiments, were true to the
end through hunger, cold, sickness.

one else the offensive and de-

and he has left vivid written record
OF the relative value OF unframed

his opinion. fully confirmed by military
men since his time, OF the army need
