termination in his manner that Wash
ington at once welcomed him to his
staff. AS soon as the opportunity Of
fered the leader of the Continental
army put Lafayette in command Of
large bodies Of men and that judgment
was we'll justified.
The marquis was severely wounded
at Brandywine without being aware Of
1t for time, so intense was his devo-
tion to duty. When he recovered he
renewed his activities at the right hand
Of General Washington, and lost no
opportunity to serve the nation which
was then coming into being. He was
with the great leader at Valley Forge,
where he conducted himself with such
sympathy and understanding that he
was soon as beloved by all the officers
as by the commander himself.
The portrait painters Of the time put
the generals and colonels Of the day
in fine uniforms of blue and buff, but
very often some of the ablest had only
nondescript clothes, and some were
even ragged.
Washington once remarked to La
fayette that to one accustomed to being
with French troops the appearance Of
the soldiers Of the colonies must indeed
have seemed unusual.
81 come not here to teach, but to
learn" was the reply Of Lafayette.
Enlisted Aid of France.
Part of the year 1779 was spent by
Lafayette in France, where he did so
much to get substantial aid from the
French government, which was then
in actual war with Great Britain.
That victory ultimately rested upon
the American standards was largely
due to those activities in Paris, for the
coming of the French fleet was a de-
Gliding factor in the long and unequal
struggle for American independence.
Lafayette was received with affec-
ton and admiration by those who had
so bitterly opposed his going from
France, and he gained support even
from the powerful Noailles, father of
the Marquise. On Lafayette's return
to America Washington sent him in
1871 to operate against Benedict Ar
mold in Virginia. After CORVALLIS
came with $500 more men Washing
ton showed his confidence in the young
general by continuing him in the COM
mand. Lafayette was near Richmond
when CORVALLIS started for him.
"The boy can't escape me-" said the
English general. Lafayette promptly
retreated, made a junction with 1000

l said it was big happy family, and
so it is, but as in all happy families,
there are servants, So in the British
army there are also servants, officers
servants, or 20. S." as they are termed.
In the American army the common
name for them is "dog robbers" From
a controversy in the English papers,
Winston Churchill made the state
ment, as far as I can remember, that
the officers servants in the British
forces totaled nearly two hundred
thousand. He claimed that this re-
moved two hundred thousand excep-
tionally good and well-trained fighters
from the actual firing line, claiming
that the officers, when selecting man
for servants duty, generally picked the
man who had been out the longest and
knew the ropes.
But from my observation find that
large percentage Of the servants do
go over the top, but behind the lines
they very seldom engage in digging
parties, fatigues, parades or drills.
This work is as necessary as actually
engaging in an attack, therefore think
it would be safe to say that the all
round work of the two hundred thou
sand is about equal to fifty thousand
men who are on straight military du-
ties. In numerous instances, officers
servants hold the rank of lance-cOrpO-
rails and they assume the same duties
and authority Of a butler, the one
stripe giving him precedence over the
other servants.
There are lots of amusing stories
told of 20. S."
One day one of our majors went into
the servants billet and commenced
"blinding" at them, saying that his
horse had no straw and that he per-
sonally knew that straw had been is
sued for this purpose. He called the
lance-corporal to account. The cor
poral answered, "Blime me. sir, the
straw was issued, but there wasn't
enough left over from the servants
beds; in fact, we had to use some Of
the 'ay to 'elp out, sir"
It is needless to say that the serv-
ants dispensed with their soft beds
that particular night.
Nevertheless 1t is not the fault Of
the individual officer, it is just the sur
vival of a quaint old English custom.
You know an Englishman cannot be
changed in day.
But the average English officer Is a
good sport. He will sit on fire step
and listen respectfully to Private
Jones' theory of the way the war
should be conducted. . This war is
gradually crumbling the once insur-
mountable wall of caste.
You would be convinced of this if
you could see King George go among
his men on an inspecting tour under
fire, or pause before a little wooden
cross in some shell-tossed field with
tears in his eyes as he reads the in
scription. And little later perhaps
bend over a wounded man on stretch
er, patting him or the head.

In the present struggle for the wrest-

was not with the people of England but
with a Hanoverian king who acted
against the counsel Of the wisest states
men of British birth. The instructive
love of fair play which is implanted In
the Englishman rebelled at the thought
of colonial taxation without represen-
tation.
Lafayette's attitude to the English
was revealed when, while visiting MS
uncle, the Marquis de Noailles, then
ambassador to the Court Of st. James,
he declined all invitations to visit ar
senals and shipyards, believing that by
so doing he would be taking an unfair
advantage of nation which was to be
his foe through the stupidity of rul-
er who could not and would not under
stand.
His home in Paris after the close OF
the war Of the revolution became
place of. rendezvous for both English
and Americans.
"Since the war is over and we have
won it." he wrote to General Wash
ington in 1856, 81 have, I confess, an
extreme pleasure in meeting English
people. Either as a Frenchman, or
soldier, or an American, or mere In
dividual, find myself without embar-
rassment in the presence Of that proud
nation"
There could have been no gentler
acts of courtesy than those which he
did when CORVALLIS had surrendered
at Yorktown, for he had the highest
opinion Of the British commander as
a man, and, as he modestly wrote Corn
wallis, "held him in high esteem"
Long before there were hands
stretched across the sea between this
country and England, Lafayette the
American general, was doing much to
bring about a reunion of the two ma
tions which are brothers of one blood.

According to one theory, primitive
man came to America by land bridge
from the tablelands of Asia, in search
of new hunting grounds. ''It is not to
be Inferred" says Professor Wissler,
that the new world native is a direct
descendant Of the present Asiatic Mon
