By ELMO SCOTT WATSON HERB la an axiom, known to all, which roads, "Nothing auccoods like success." It la also axlomntlc, although not phrased In such terms, that Americana love nothing so much os a winner. If you believe In the essential truth of the above statements, corn alder for a moment the coses of two generals, Horatio Galea and John Burgoyne, and figure out If you can whether their careers, either Individually or in relation to each other, will prove those statements to be true. In 1777 these two generals were commanding armies which were fighting what was destined to be one of the "fifteen decisive battles of the world. That was the Rattle of Saratoga, and when It was over, General Burgoyne, the vanquished, was handing his sword to General Gates, the victor, and this surrender meant that Englands greatest effort to crush her rebellious colonies bad failed and the cause of American independence bad been saved. That was more than a century and a hall ago, but, by all the rules of the "success axioms, the name of Horatio Gates should have come thundering down the years as one of the greatest heroes of the new Republic and the name of John Burgoyne should have long ago been lost In obscurity. For was not Gates a success and Burgoyne a failure? But what has happened? now many statues have ever been erected to the memory of General Gates by a grateful nntlon? So far as the present chronicler knows none! How many Americans can tell you anything about noratio Gates, except that their remembrance of their school histories makes his name sound vaguely familiar? How many biographies have ever been written about him? It Is Impossible to recall a single one! As for General Burgoyne, of course, It would not be reasonable to expect Americans to erect statues to his memory, although it must be admitted that there might be as much reason for Immortalizing his name In bronze or stone as there has been for some men It has thus honored. As for the average American knowledge of Burgoyne. possibly next to Cornwallis, he, of all the British generals of the Revolution, is best known. But most Interesting of all Is the fact that within the last few months tlfbre have appeared two books whose wide sale Indicates that Americans are gen uinely Interested In Gen. John Burgoyne. They are Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne Misadventures of an English General of the Revolution," written l by F. J. Iludleston and published by the company, and The Turning Point of the Revolution, or Burgoyne in America, written by Hoffman Nickerson and published by noughton Mifflin company. Although both authors are military men (Mr. Hudleston Is librarian of the British war office, and Mr. Nickerson served on the general staff of the A. E. F. during the Vorld war), their books are not essentially military studies of an importing and history-makincampaign. Read together the two volumes do give a complete picture of that campaign, but they do much more they give a comprehensive view of the political and social life of that period in history. But most of all, they ralnt an unforgettable portrait of a lovuble but I J Robbs-Merril- g luckless British commander who, among the many varied types of soldier who fought on either side In the Revolutionary conflict, was the soldier of them ull. Just why this failure should be ao appealing to Americans who are supposed to he only Interested In those who win suecesa Is difficult to say. The answer may he found In some of the names that were applied to hint. "Gentleman Johnny he was called In George Bernard Shaws The Devil Disciple and Handsome Jack he was called by bis troops because he was physically the most attractive man in the British army. He was a general only because of political pull and through the Influence of his wife's family, and as a military leader he wna a strange mixture of sagacity and blundering Incompetence. But if he made blunders, his superiors (by courtesy) made even worse ones. If be had brought disaster upon himself by his own mistakes alone, perhaps be would not win our sympathy and regard. But since he was the victim of circumstances and of a greater bungler than himself, perhaps It Is the proverbial American attitude toward the under dog and the goat that causes us to think kindly, though somewhat pityingly, of him. Born of a good family, Burgoyne at the outbreak of the Revolution was In hls early fifties. He had taken part In the Seven Tears war, serving In the Cherbourg, St. Cas and Belie isle expeditions, during which he achieved some prominence by his capture of Valentin d'Alcantara. One Important result of this military service was that here he learned the strategy of dividing hls force In the face of the enemy as a diversion, which he tried to apply in the cnmpalgn which was doomed to failure. At the outbreak of the war he was ordered to America and had a minor part In the Battle of Bunker Hill. He won his advancement In the army- by Intrigue and family support and he was proud of the latter for, ns he frankly said, On any other ground I should hlush to ask preferment, for he had already admitted that he considered himself absolutely a cipher In a military light." Yet he had the presumption upon his return to England to seek the command of the expedition from Canada which was to cut the Colonies In two" and he pulled the wires successfully enough to get it. His plan was simple and In most respects en tirely feasible. It was for bis army to proceed from Quebec via I.ake Champlain down the Hud son to Albany where It was to form a Junction with Sir William Howe, who was to come up the Hudson from New York city and with Col. Harry St. I.eger, who wns to start from Oswego and sweep through the Mohawk valley, the granary of the Revolution. One mistake be made was his plan to include In his army a force of German mercenaries and a force of Indians. He did not realize how bitterly the residents of the Invaded region would resent the use of these hirelings from Europe and how difficult it would be to re strain the savages from atrocities against Tories as well as patriots. He was soon to be disillusioned on both scores. But even with the handicaps under which he labored from the start, his expedition might have been successful had it not been for the fatal and unforgivable blunder made by his superior, Lord Germain, who as secretary of state for the American colonies was directing the American war. Thut incompetent (who Incidentally had once been tried by court martial and found guilty of wrote out the order for Sir William Howe to proceed north along the Hudson and meet General Burgoyne, but. In hls haste to leave for a In the country, went away from pleasant week-en- d hls office without senjing the order.
