Analyses Its Spirit

The rabble." are the armies
OF Washington. the men who
starved and froze at Valley
Forge. And what DID come
out OF all that agony" was the
Constitution and the greatest
and most successful experiment
in self-government that the
earth has ever known.
One more word on the spirit
of this book before I turn to
its story values:
Why should the British side
OF the Revolutionary War be
presented? That side has already
been CONDEMNED not only by
great English statesmen while
the war was going on, but also
by every great liberal Britisher
since.
And why is there a statue In
London to the chief of Oliver
Wiswells 'rabble" - George
Washington?
This whole slant Of the book

II Isn't Lawn Tennis

OF course, war isn't a lawn
tennis party. Particularly in
wars of liberation, such as our
Revolution was, there will be
guerrilla land gorilla) warfare.
But isn't it pretty late in the
day to find that out? And is
this the time, when we in Amer
lea are making a world-stand for
the ideals of the Revolution, for
a novelist of the unquestioned
power and competence of Ken
meth Roberts to come along and
award the laurels to King
Georges soldiers and to blacken
up those men who, whatever
their shortcomings, whatever
their crimes, constituted the
most heroic army of its kind
ever assembled in history?

Tiny Flash Of Light

That even in the benighted
brain of Oliver Wiswell there
comes tiny flash of light into
the future is seen in these words
of his to Sally:
81 don't know what Provi-
dence is. Sally, but whatever II
Is, IL must be wiser than we.
Perhaps Providence has . greater
plan than we can understand.
Perhaps war, pestilence, storms
that send brave men to sudden,
heroic, aforementioned death
perhaps that's how God slowly
sculptures the world to . shape
that1l always be concealed
from us.
Perhaps that's why the Inn
possible happened, Sslly-why
that rabble that drove us from
our homes were incapable Of
winning, BUT DID win. Per-
haps, Sally, something great will
come of all that agony and all
those deaths, all that intolerance
and all that cruelty. Perhaps
something great will come even
to that rabble some day, as
we'll as to US"

Complicated Task

While pattern-making was
not a new art in 1914. the build
ing up OF the patterns for an
automobile engine was a corp-
plicated undertaking calling for
specialized skill and for an ex-
perience less prevalent in 1914
than 1t is today.
The four-cylinder grand-dad
Of Dodge automobile engines
had its cylinders cast in two
blocks. each block having two
cylinders. Some makers of the
era used engines with cylinders
cast singly; Ford, however, even
in those early days, had adopted
the system of casting all four
cylinders in one block.
while the single block

preparation. its Ultimate economy

Through all Of these adven-

Wiswell like some one on

also an actor on the screen.
For instance, In the midst of
all his ups and downs Wisnell
has time to throw in this bit of
history, which will be news
nowadays to those Americans
who remember their Revolution
from the schoolbools:
Mere Southern Army

forces In America
