HISTORICAL NOTES
 0N REVOLUTION
University Of Michigan Has h.
 valuable Collection

Ann Arbor Mich, Oct. 9. lPt-A collection of manuscripts tracing i'll official records of the day the Brit ish story of the war Of the Amer jean revolution will be placed per manently in the W. l.. Clements library on the campus of the Uni v,rsity Of Michigan.
 They are the papers of Lord George Gormain. British secretary of state for the colonies during the war of the revolution, and they wore purchased by Mr. Clements, regent of the university, from Mrs, Stopford- -Sackville, present owner of the Germain home in Northamptonshire.
 The papers constitute the yir- tual - record of the British war of ice during the revolution. Half of the manuscripts are reports and letters written by Burgoyne, Corn wallis, Clinton, Howe and lesser officials in America to their chief Lord Gnrmain, and his replies to 'hom.
 The manuscripts form an almost complete picture of the official British army mind at the time of the revolution of it's conception of the colonies, and of the advice given to the all-powerful man in the British war office, directing a conflict 5000 miles away.
 Judged by present political standards the British officials diff f"red with each other with an amazing frankness and differed, too, in their opinion of their colonial adversaries, universally termed "rebels."
 That Germain in particular and Britain in general received from army officers a wrong impression of the spirit of the colonies is said to be proved by many letters,
 The papers are on the way to the United States, where they will be catalogued and r1ade a part of notable collection of Ameri- cana housed in the Clements li- brary.
 On the shelves and in the vaults if the library now repose the manu- scripts of Sir Henry Clinton. the records of the British hcadquar- ters in America during the revolu- ton; the papers of Lord Shel- burne, British prime minister who conducted negotiations ending the revolution; and the manuscripts of Nathaniel Greene, the second general in importance on the American side.
 The Clements purchase of the Germain papers prevented their disposal and probable dispersal at auction.
 Gormain was called by Horace Walpole "the gaycst man in Ire land with the exception of his fla ther"
 His selection by George III as secretary of state for the colonies was due 10 the fact that he was the only man in public life in Eng land who agreed fully with the kings theory of the suppression of the colonies by force, present day historians agree,
 A story is told that Germain's fondncss for gayety had an impor- tant bearing on the war for inde- pnndence. Union of the forces of Rurgoyne and Howe had been rec commended, and one Saturday the
