Footnote to History:

As the country celebrates Washington's birthday, it may be
interesting to recall that in his day Washington was often dubbed
"the American Joshua." And the United States itself was fre-
quently dubbed by American orators as "Israel."
Israel was a common first name in the America of that day.
One of the greatest of the Revolutionary heroes was General
Israel Putnam. In Philadelphia there was an ardent patriot who
was known as Israel Israel,
The Israel of that day, like the Israel of today, sold bonds
abroad to secure its independence and the best bond salesman
for Washington was the Jew Haym Salomon.
A hitherto unpublished story of Washington's relations with
Haym Salomon was recently revealed by Stanwood S. Menken,
president of the American Defense Society, who is a descendant
of Haym Salomon.
According to Menken, it was Salomon who suggested to Wash-
ington that he launch his attack on the Hessians on Christmas
Day. Born in Germany himself, Salomon knew that the Germans
would probably be under the influence of liquor on that day and
therefore unprepared to resist attack.
Washington heeded Salomon's suggestion, crossed the Dela-
ware during the night and came upon the Hessians on Christmas
morning before they had recovered from their drunken stupor.
He took the Hessian command almost without any losses to the
