 Yet in all the terrible years of the Revolutionary war it took 250,OOO of them to defeat 150,OOO invaders.

 Organization and training, brought over 5000 miles of sea, kept them go- ing in a strange and hostile country where they were greatly outnumbered by the inhabitants and enabled them to remain there for eight years!
 Individually, the CoIonials were better fighting men than the redcoats i; collectively, they were not.
 With 75,OOO trained and equipped men-half the British number-Wash- ington might have vanquished the in- yaders as quickly as their regiments were landed. Given equal training end equipment with the British, and their spirit and knowledge of the coun- try and of marksmanship would have done the rest. At the utmost, it is unlikely that it would have required more than two years.

 American Legion posts throughout the United States will read the last public speech of Col. F. w. Galbraith at their Fourth of July celebrations. The speech a plea for the Citizens Military Training Camp, was deliv- cred by the late national commander a few hours before he met death in an automobile accident at Indiana polls. "I come to you", declared MT. Galbraith, "as one of those thousands of Americans who went into the wcIid war without the bene- fit of training camp. We believe in preparing inc young men of this country for citizenship. A part of this citizenship consists of being ready to defend our country in the time of need" Copies of the speech are being forwarded to the posts from the national headquarters of the Legion at Indianapolis.

Independence day lives in the hearts of the people. rather than in specta- cles. It is recognized and observed in spirit, whether there are parades or fireworks or pageants of any kind.
