His Personal Triumph Then came the horrors Forge and of the county. Those were desertions were many and enlistments were few, when Washington dared not give open battle and there was hardly left to him a place for retreat. Then came the Conway conspiracy, and the ambition of Gates, and the cowardice of Lee and the treason of Arnold, and a series of persecutions So petty, so bitter, so malignant, that it is amaz- ing how Washington survived them, Then, came defeats like that at Brandywine, and battles of uncertain meaning like that at Monmouth, . ., . It Is easy for us as we read these events in the light of the issue to keep up our courage and understand the triumph that finally came, but it was a very different thing for Washington. Congress was weak, meddlesome, and vacillating,. The soldiers were raw, undisciplined and sometimes mutinous, There were jJealousies and libels and forgeries and slanders almost beyond our present ability to believe, . . . When I recall Washington's calmness in the midst of exasperating annoy- ances, his unselfish loyalty when sur. rounded by cupidity and Jealousy and hatred, his faith that put courage into the hearts of men who marched hun gry and left bloody footprints in the snow; when I remember how after eight years of this and more he emerged victorious, ag calm In victory as he had been serene in defeat, I do not wonder that Frederick the Great is sald to have pronounced George Washington's campalgn in the Jersies the most brilliant In military annals. .+ + « (Barton, Willlam E.~George Washington. ) Men's Sufferings + Washington did not leave his men go home to live In luxury, but Fehr of V alley winters in Morris the days when too, ayed to endure privation with them, he who reads his tters written 1g these trying times can appreci iis troubles and snxieties.

(Van Dyke, Henry—The Americanism of Washington, pp. 4-5.) His passions were strong, and some times they broke out with vehemence, but he had the power of checking them in an instant. Perhaps self-control wns the most remarkable trait of his character, It was In part the effect of his discipline; yet he seems by na- ture to have possessed the power to a degree which has been denied to other men, (Sparks, Jared—The Life of George Washington, p. 400.) i we: wl Exchanged eee CE By SUSAN GIBa3 LESSONS E EIEIO TEEN (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) {WNL Bervice) a w ’ T ISN'T often that Romance many be traced to Its roots.
