ONE GENERAL MAY DECIDE
One remarkably feature of the
greatest of wars is tho fact
that the two strongest military
powers engaged havo no generals
still young enough for active field
service who were old enough to
hold high commands when the
latest campaigns of their coun
tries, ou a largo scale, were
fought. Germany has been at
peace for forty-three years. France
has met no great civilized power
la the same period.
It follows that the decisive
movemuet on the vast military
chess board must bo directed, for
these two powers, by men hardly
tested in war on a large scale. Out
of the many comparatively inex
perienced officers In importau
stations some overshadowing
genius may emerge and ho may
determine the outcome of the war.
What would a second Xapoleou
Bonaparte be worth tc France to
day? What would Germany give
for the assurance of another Von
Moltke? If Russia were known
to possess a field marshal of the
ability of Oyama, the Japanese
master of war, the world would
add 25 per cent, at least, to its
estimate of the power and pros
pects of the Czar's immeuso but
often clumsy and badly handled
army.
The genius pf a really great
commander capable of handling,
with inspiration and power,
enormous forces operating in a
very wide field, may suddenly in
troduce in the present struggle a
factor which can in no way be
measured in advance or definitely
predicted It is one of the un
certalaities of war, especially after
a lon» period of peace which has
left the generals of the two fore
most military powers engageu """
tried by the ordeals of battle, siege
and strategy. In the face of a
formidable foe.
Vnle»8 they have a care, some
heedless body of troops is
likely to blunder into a royal
forest and frighten the game.
The citizens who have voted for
a dozen presidents may still find
ir a little queer to be voting for
a United States senator.
May the postponement of the
international yacht races for one
month prove to have been not un
duly optimistic.
One gathere that franc-tireur
warfare is something like the
kind waged by bushwhackers or
bashibazouks.
The tourists may not fiud
Europe very attractive just now.
But neither is a steamship '-driven
at full speed through the fog."
And so M. Caillaux is to see
stme real w-ar service—as in
pector of finance in the French
army's treasury department, Paris:
When the newspapers have to
shut uo shop for lack of priut paper
it will be time for housekeepers to
wrap the ice in their wedding
dresses.
The robbers who looted the
Bell Center (O.) postoriice of one
two-cent stamp must have had a
tough time dividing the swag.
Aud between his tours of
martial duty as iziSpetcor of
finance M. Caillaux may find time
to start in on thosa duels.
If the community with a record
of four lynchlngs in a week were
not In Mr. Vardaman'g state it
would be in Mr. Blease's.
The British poet laureate is said
to have done his obvious duty,
but the report fails to disclose his
name.
At any moment now the old
fashion id man who objects to the
English plural of referendum may
do as much for moratorium.
And the sKuatiou would bo bad
enough, at best, if there had been
only oue steamer named Kron
j.rizessiu Cecilie.
Unless it's that threatened war
tax, there is nothing iu sight at
proseut to dampen the ardor of
the Star Spangled Bauuer cen
tennial.
Already epidemics of disease are
reported from Europeati camps
Perhaps the embalmed beef has
gone ii.to action.
Another argument iu favor of
raising teachers' talaries is that
if sometimes costs enormously
to get home from Europe.

Troop n. Gth U. 9. Cavalry, Camp
McCoy. Sparta, Wis. — "I was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years. Por
, a v_ tioos of my arms and limbs
were affected mostly with It.
It appeared In scaly form,
breaking out In very small
dots and gradually grow
lanwr and white scales formed
when about tho size of an
ordinary match-head. The
looks of It way horrible, which
mado It very unpleasant for
jse. It Itched a little at times.
"I tried several remedies, but the trouble
seemed to grow worse Instead of better, and
I tried several treatments which cured mo
for a month, but it always broke out again.
One day a friend saw the advertisement of
Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the paper
and I sent for a sample. They helped me. so
I purchased two more boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and some Cuticura Soap and
they completely cured me. It took three
months for Cuticura Soap uid Ointment
to complete my cure." (Signed) Walter
Mahony. Oct. 22. 1912.
Although the Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment are most successful in the treatment of
affections of the skin, scalp, hair and hands,
they arc also most valuable for everyday use
in the toilet, bath and nursery, because they
promote and maintain tho health of the skin
and hair from Infancy to age. Sold every
where. Liberal sample of each mailed free,
with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card
