How They Made Good By Albert Payson [Terhune Copyright, 1019. by the Mress Publishing Co (The New York Kerang Wort) : No. 16—JOHN LAURENS, Who Res-ucd a Nation. E was John Laurens, a Colonel on George Washington's staff, young, handsome, magnetic--a man who had a way of his own for overriding cbstacies, It was because of this (trait, that Washington sent him charging against an obstacle which had balked all our best diplomats and had held back our chances of liberty. Laurens accepted the task; seemingly hope less though it was. And this is the story of his making good, i Since 1775, our country had been battling for freedom. Nothing but the genius of Washington kept our il equipped little army from annihila- tion and our land from total ruin. The Treasury was empty. We had no funds or adequate ships for carrying on the war. France had given us aid. But if we were to win the Revolution we must have far more help than we had thus far received from the Frencu. But red tape and secret politics’ at Paris were working against this, A | hedge of etiquette-forms confronted our French Ambassador when-he sought to get the assistance we so sorely needed. Meantime, our condition was growing worse and worse. Then it was that Washington sent young John Laurens to France Early in 1781, Laurens reached Paris. There he learned at first hand something By J.

Washington had submitted to the Sennte for ratification a treaty which he had concluded with England, After con siderable discussion a resolution had been passed consenting to the treaty on condition an article be added containing cer tain suggested stipulations and requesting the President to open, without delay, further negotiations.
