And as usual t"ho most Impoifant Washington-.lauitems me the new hooks which have hiA-written .about him, Interpreting anew the life of tlds man who lias been the theme of so many biographers. Undoubtedly "the '.outstanding Washington biography of the year Is the seciflid volume of Rupert Hughes' study of him, published iy William Morrow and company- of New York, which takes up the narrative where his first volume left olf and tells the story of "(ieorge Wash ington-- , the Rebel and .the i'afriot,-- 17t5.M777." The Hughes Interpretation of Washington Is Im- portant for more than one reason, .the piliiclpul one being Hint lie more than any other Washington biographer, lias, been the storm center of public' discussion and as a result many people who would not otherwise lie likely to read a biography of Washington liave rushed to do so to see for tlipmselvis whether or not 'Hughes has maligned the memory of the Fattier of His (otintr.y, of course, this Is unfortunate for a man who Is 'seek,-.inhonestly to tell the truth and no one can read .the Hughes' volumes Utliout h(dug impressed by the fact that he IS.

Though to some persons some of these facts may he unpleasant, they cannot Ill'll) seeing t tint the favorable aspects .of Washington's ehniueter far. out weigh the unfavorable and they will tind that it Is only by a con sideratinn of both that they have reached some adequate understanding of the real Washington. In Ids first volume Mr. Hughes stated his. pur. . pose as follows: - To find out as fur os possible and to repeat as t faithfully as possible (teorge Washlnj ton was, did, said, wrote, thought, and .why and ... Just-wha- how. The main effort has been to let Washington tell his ow.n story as fully as possible In his wn words. This Is. Indeed, as nearly an autobiography as can make It My Incessant effort In this biography has been to see his life as he saw It. All other biographer-have tacitly assumed that he knew' the future and bullded himself grandly for it. They have looked backward upon him through the dazzling aureole of his apotheosis. Hut that was not the Me had to grope for Ills way he s.v.v- the world. faith and he missed few of the pitfalls, the thorns and the torments of the nay. No more did he miss the primroses, the festivals, the dances and 1 " - sports and romances. .That purpose is repeated In which lie in Ills second volume says: Again as In the first volume my Incessant endeavor has been to let Washington tell his owr. story In his own words, and to try to see Ids world and his times as they must have looked to him not as they appear to a backward gaze ncross a landscape filled with tall oaks, that were onr acorns and monuments that were once men. Washington, like every other animal, vegetable and mineral, was an evolution In body and character. With him as with all other earthly played a vital part and changed him while he changed It. it Is no sacrilege to represen him as a hoy before he became a man, and a and wh:le hr became a god. And there Is no kindness to him In suppressing the facts for the more fully the truth about him is told the greater his achievement becomes. . . It Is the most tragic of farces that ao many Americans should Insist both that Washington could not tell a lie and that his chroniclers may not tell the truth. Although the first volume of the Hughes blog rephy is culled The Human living and the Hero," the second volume, if anything, more than the ' first, gives us un insight into George Washington, Hie human being. For it is In the period which this volume covers, 1702 to 1777, that we see . Washington, the Virginia planter who gambled, drank wine and rum, hunted, danced, and farmed as did the oilier country gentlemen of his time. Nor .do we have to rely upon the words of a Twentieth century biographer that he did these tilings. Washington himself Is our authority and lie set .down the wlude record with painstaking uc.cu'racy in. his (paries nnd ledgers. A careful and n methodical man this Virginia woman Married .to the wealthiest planter. in Anjerlen, possessed of thousands of acres of land surrounding Mount Vernon, lie. had, with his own extensive 'Interests, a big. job on his hands and ht went about .handling it in-careful nnd , meihodii'u! manner. So. he kept, a .dost', record jf all of ills, activities, tits winnings and .losses at cards, game killed, crops raised and sold, slaves hought and hartere.d, (lances and dinners attended nnd nil of the other details ot the complex life of that 'period.

On Hie opposite page Ie summed lip the outgo of alt sorts and then at ruck a balance. It is delightful to find that Ids hooks never came out right, Some if his explanations are Ingenuous Il.v mistake in Count of t he Ktigli,sliJil.vj'r last year," "Fy Cash lost,, stolen, or paid away without charging!" Tliiit tlie necessity for farm relief" was sometimes as acute In Ids day as It'is today nnd that 'keeping a country estate was a great luxury then even as now Is shown by t he following quotation from liis Journal: "If is almost beyond belief that from 101 cows' actually reported of a late enumeration of Hie Cattle that I am obliged to tiny butter for tiie use of m.v family. Another indication that Washington faced t he same-- ' problems as' Americans of today is shown by t he doctor bills for his family Martha and her .two children. .lack and. Ints.v Cuslis which were a large item, mpounting in one year to more than eighty pounds, not including a physician who was kept on Salary for tin servants nnd slaves.

In Hie latter years, of the drift toward revolution. a Of introspection he betrayed never a hint." Hughes says. "A more emotionless diary was proh aliiy never written. His only warmth was shown in tlie pages over which lie wrote at the top, Aect of tlie Weather iti Fehy" or whatever the month might bo. Here h singularly pleased him to le minute, enthusiastic nnd as near to pm tic as lie ever came.

Hut lie was a scientist ns well. He laid the seientillc spirit and was always experimenting with manures nnd fertilizers, new methods of planting and plowing. Such was tlie Washington at Mount Vernon and if we find It necessary to bring forward any more evidence of tlie humanness of tlie man it can he found in the rcord of Washington ns coinnnindcr-in-clilo- f of tlie Continental army.

He was a poor struggler with infinite ditlicuities at a time when chaos groaned- In a swoon of torment from whose travail a nation was born and shaped amid the cries of pain and writhings ot uncertainty. Nobody knew Just what the right or the helpful thing to do, or what the outcome would be and Washington was as profoundly bewildered as anybody. Kverybody who knew him spoke of his shyness, his emhnrassment. He Inspired awe and reverence also, but for the purity of his patriotism and the loftiness of his Ideas. Yet he was wretchedly afraid of himself and he had no ambitions except to grow rich, he free, cultivate his farm and his friends, his charities, and the other charms of this world and leave behind him an honorable - of-t- There Sunday .

He was forever being appealed to to save friends, relatives, regiments, colonies, or the nation from their own mistakes and jealousies, and he did his best for them, going into debt to lend money, taking on trusteeships to the neglect of his own affairs, forever writing letters and keeping books, though he lov.d to dance and follow the hounds and shuffle the cards and let the theater display before him the woes and entanglements of people who would not ask him to arrange their lives fur them. . . . It is surprising to find how exceedingly emotional Washington was, bewildered, how sensitive, and how frank In his criticisms. It ts very touching to note his concern about the pub-- , lie opinion of his efforts, and the pain It gave him to be harshly criticized for inactivity that he could not help and dared not justify even to his own friends and fellow officers. He made no pretensions whatever to unusual wisdom or ability and protested Incessantly that he was Ignorant. Inexperienced and Incompetent to his problems, but that his motives were honorable, unselfish, and unmercenary. The man himself Is infinitely more appealing pitiful, heartbroken, tragic, gay, witty, tender, gracious, tactful, fearless, ferocious, heroic, and, at his loftiest, sublime than the dull gray bore manufactured by stupid dullards, stodgy politicians and mongers of untrulsm. There. Is hut one tiling needed to complete the picture of Washington, the human being, ami t hat is to show that this man, who has been so often painted ns a towering demi god incapable of the commonest of human emotions, was at times capable of towering rages.
