Ia the h,si place then, we would suggest, that lie

make them su0seTyien, TO his visionary ambition.
It's idea, under one mobilization or another, has

Col. LaTkIn White used to say aUuut Van and the

else no great enterprise can re achieved. l. the
Commander is hedging and dojgins, in dread Of
being ''heaasa' by his own men, bu, little damage
can he done to the adversary. And Il, in ADDITION
to this, whilst he is lodging his own friends, he j.
