Washington understood it. and said i congress soon j after he had taken ch.arse of the army: "T-1 expect the same sorvue from raw and unuhS'. ipiined recruits as from veteran soldiers is to expe-'t wh.at never did and perhaps neer will happen.

"I am persuaded," he siH.. ft::d aa fully convinced aa I am of any one fa--t that has happened that our liberties must of r.eces"ltv be greatly great-ly hazar.led. If not entirely lost. If their defense Is eft to any but a permanent standing army; I mean one to exist during dur-ing the war. . . To place any dependence depend-ence upen militia la assuredly resting upon a bmKen staff." He wrote thai last sentence Ji.st after the disgraceful flight of the militia at Harlem Heights. As for the b-jff'vear of "militarism": "The Jealousy Jeal-ousy of a standing army and the evils to he apprehended from one are remote and not at all to be dreaded; but the con-sequence con-sequence of wan tin ir one Is certain and inevitable ruin." Perhaps those principles of Washlncton, In which Greene end all other competent commanders cordially agreed, did not establish what Mr. Bryan calls our traditions and our national policy. pol-icy. If not, so much the worse for us, as the record of that war snows. lie-pending lie-pending upon "a citizenry trained and accustom en to arms," congress raised a force of ?,61 men In a slne'e year, of whom never more than 17.000 were at one time available In a battle. We had in the whole war a total of 355S enlistments, enlist-ments, to a Ilrltlsh force of onlv 10.605: and the war coet us $."!70.000,r -0. besides 7t'.r'"i0.0OO more in pensions. Washington's counsel and the lessons of the war were alike unheeded, and congress con-gress persisted, under confederation and constitution, In an anti-militarist course. By the time of the beginning of the War of 1 M 2, which was undertaken chiefly for the conquest of Canada, a feat which was to be achieved in a holiday parade of the Kentucky militia, the standing army was reduced to 6744 men. With that force and the militia the cry "On to Canada:" was raised; much after the fashion of the j "Forward to Richmond!" of less than half f a century later. There were at the out- Sft fewer than 4500 British regulars In Canada. We sent 65.000 men against their 1400, and got not merply trounced, but disgracefully routed. Hull's fiasco at I Detroit is historic. But v.hat shall we say of Hampton's 5r'00 beaten by 8m0 at Chateautray and Wilkinson's 8000 repulsed ( with heaw loss bv Just one-tenth their number of Chrystler's fields? At Lundy's Iane we fought a splendid drawn battle with men who after two years had be-r-omc veterans. But in tliat same last year of the war, though we called out 100 000 "citizenry trained and accustomed to 'arms' for the defense of Chesapeake bav Washington, the national capjtal. was' raided and partly burned by a handful hand-ful of less than 1500 British, the losses of our vastly more numerous militia being insignificant "hlefly because of the promptness and agility with whlcn they ran out of harm's way In that war all told we employed 527,,4 men, -while the British had only 67,000. No wonder that one of the foremost statesmen of the day declared : It proves more forcibly the necessity neces-sity of obliging every citizen to be a soldier.
