he rode back to bring up the Vrgnans from the rear and rallied them with effect the flank To him was largely due the escape of the force His exposure of his person was as reckless Braddock's, who was fatally wounded on his fifth horse; Washington had two horses shot under him and his clothes cut by four bullets without being hurt He was at Brad docks death-bed helped bring the troops back, and repaid by being appointed in August 1755, while still only 23 years old, commander of all the vir- ginia troops
 Though his teeth may have been bad again at Valley Forge he demonstrated that great strength of character which made him the First President of the United States The Britannica's historian counts: 53
 His army twice-beaten, ill-housed, and ill-fed, with thousands of barefoot and otherwise naked, was at the point of exhaustion; it could not keep the field inside of month it would have disappeared Under these circumstances, there is nothing which better proves the fibre of Washingons character and the courage of his soul than the unyelding per sistence with which he held his strong position at Valley Forge through winter of semi starvation of justified grumblng by his men, of harsh public crit- cism and of captious meddng by Congress too weak to help him."
 Of such stature was the man whose birthday Monday we observe, and who when elevated to the highest office in the land the first to be honored administered the government with methodical pre- eision and the sober judgment which had always characterized him. Historians relate that while Presi- lent he regarded himself standing aloof from party divisions and emphasized his position Pres dent of the whole country by tour first through the Northern States and later through the Southern.
 Complaint was made that Washington a
 little too stiff little too solemn" Senator Macay once said but Washington historians sum it up in these words His cold reserved manner due rather to native diffdence than to any excessive sense of dignity.
 But despite what shortcomings he may have had who can deny the unflnching courage of that great man through his life time and even in death, so graphically depicted in his final words:
 T die hard, but I not afraid to go."
