1871 and is in the handwriting of
German. It's context indicates it
was a discussion of the condition in
the Colonies prepared for presentation
either to the king or the ministry.
In speaking of the Colonies the
memorandum says:
They appear to be under the con-

Washington
"Key Man" of
Revolution

British officers and English civilians
in America at the time of the revo-
luton considered George Washington
the "key man" of the war.
Letters in the collection of papers
Of Lord George German, recently
brought to the William Clements IL
brary at Ann Arbor, Mich, by Regent
w. L. Clements, contain many ref
erences to the American leader.
Many of the letters present to Lord
German the thought that Washing
ton might conclude to end the war if
properly approached" using that
term in its modern meaning. No
suggestion is made at any time in
the letters that any OF these sug-
gestions were acted upon Or that
Washington was aware of their ex-
iStence.

"Not Equal to Stratauems."

In Memory of My Father,
J. w. Mccullough

He walked life's pathway unafraid,
So calm in every test;
Cheerful always-ever giving
To his fellow-man his best.
His life was spent in service sweet
For fellow-creatures here;
His bounteous heart was filled with
love
There was no room for fear.
Still in the path of duty,
Still meeting every test
His feet they grew so weary that
He laid him down to rest.
We need courage like his own
To know as we go on
Through hours dark and lonely
That some time comes the dawn.
With wounded hearts, yet full of hope,
Well trust in Him who said:
"He who loseth his life shall find it, :"
And we know he is not dead.
