OPEN RIDICULE OF WASHINGTON AROUSES ANGER Father of Country Belittled in Recent Book by W. E. Woodward. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 22 Patriotic societies basing their existence on the American revolution will now turn their muskets on W. E. Woodward, tho latest biographer to expose the imperfections of George Washington. Wodward, a former business man who wrote "Bunk” and other books, has undertaken to remove some of tho bunk from the popular conception of the national parent in a book just published entitled “George Washington, the Image and the Man.” After an exhaustive study, Woodward does not picture Washington as a hard drinker or a rake, but he accuses him of various acIrani it TO STOPJ COLO "Pape'B Cold Compound” ends severe colds or grippe in few hours

\ tions and faulia with which * public man could not get away with in these enlightened days and contends that he was a mediocre general whose stupid blunders would have caused disaster had not the blunders of opposing British generals been absolutely stupendous, Married for Money Washington, according to Woodward’s book, married Martha Custis for her money while at the same time in love with a married woman, Mrs. Sally Fairfax. He introduces some of the first President’s correspondence to back up this assertion. Although it has often been written that General Broddock's defeat and the massacre of his troops was encompassed through his failure to heed Washington's advice, the author points out that the general accepted one "tragically unsound” piece of advice from Wash ington "which contributed greatly to his disaster” when ho agreed to divide his forces at a time when an undivided force would have beaten tho opposing French and Indians. Woodward implies that George was something of a show-off, that j luck was one of his greatest assets, I that he plied Indians with liquor to see them caper, that he condoned | the practices of camp-following | women, that free distribution of j liquor replaced eloquence in his first | election campaign, that he had only ordinary intellectual ability and never an" original idea and that he I caused atrocious punishments to be J inflicted for breaches of discipline] after he took command of the con- | tlnental army. Many Blunders "If Howe had continued the battle i of ,Long Island on Aug. 27, 1776," j Woodward writes, “Washington ' would have disappeared from history, except as an incompetent general, who almost ruined the American cause at the beginning." | Up to George’s time, Woodward ' says, the Washington family was persistently mediocre—they were “sane, dull people, excessively nor-1 mal.” George’s mother, Mary Ball I Washington, is given no credit at all. I and is described as of deficient education and a “hard, querulous, managing manner.” Even Washington, the biographer says, was “not edu j cated up to the level of his class.” "Early in life,”* Woodward says, “Washington began to fumbie with love. It was really fumbling, for ho was never at ease in the technique ( of love and love-making. ... In 1 the presence of women he would often lose his sllhple forthright manner and turn himself into a pompous and mouthy sentimentalist—or else remain spellbound and silent.” Unfortunately, few details are available as to how Washington dropped or foozled the ball in these various fumblings. The implication is that, either through his own fault or otherwise, Washington never made much progress with Sally Fair-

fax. A persistent tradition is cited that he was repected by several wealthy women. Admits Assassination Woodward accuses Washington, in the French and Indian wars, of deceiving the innocent red skins with the idea that England was sending her troops against the French merely to make the continent safe for the Indians. The author also points out that after surrendering Ft. Necesssity—in whose location and construction he had “combined almost every conceivable military errrer”— Washington signed papers of capitulation acknowledging himself the asssassin of Commander De Jumonville and nine other French soldiers, while, according to the French

claim, they were out under a flag of truce, bearing dispatches. •Woodward is not sparing in praise of Washington’s virtues, but grants him only a portion of those with which he is generally credited. He denies, for instance, that Washington knelt at Valley Forge and prayed loudly for Divine help. “To any one who knows Washington, the idea of this two-fisted fighting man going about bellowing in the woods is grotesque,” he writes, and says there is no proof that Israel Potts, the Quaker who started the -famous prayer story, ever saw Washington, who. Woodward says, was never known to pray in church and whose pastor said he never even knelt during general prayer.
