Won Waldersee, predecessor in command of the
Ninth Army Corps. and one OF the most talented
strategists Of the present time. has just published
an essay on war Regarding France he says:
"Her armament may equal ours, but our orgsni-
zatlon is stronger. discipline better and personal
ambition higher. Our officers never exceed the
limits or general welfare. 1t is extremely doubt
fui whether the supreme central command in
France Is In position to lead the armies as a
united whole" Referring TO England he says:
England Is likely to delay the result OF the next
coHfagration. An important question is whether
England will remain neutral" After calculating
the results OF England's supporting the Drei-
bund. he says: Germany cannot reckon upon
this alliance. England hates Russia and fears
France. England might play a favorable part,
but will not. especially IL the Liberals are in
power. At present, however, L see no prospect

was to stop the giant in six rounds. Both
men were in good condition, and the gloves
were not too large. Hall was conceded to
be greatly Fergusons superior in science.
but the lattcr's admirers pinned their faith
on the stock-y ards mans great
strength and size. The Australian
led from the start and promptly
smashed Ferguson on the face twice almost
before the sparriDg seemed fairly begun.
Another singer followed on Ferguson's
Jaw, and WAS succeeded later on by pile
driver blow on the nose. The giant worked
like Trojan, but practically never
touched Hall i'll the first round. The second
was spent in sparrinR for wind. Ferguson's
face looked like a beefsteak. In the third
heavy slugglng again eDsned. and the
giants bloody face, neck and shoulders
began to present frightful appearance.
The fourth round began with Ferguson
bernmed IN his corner by Hall. who was
smashing Ferguson right and left. Sud-
denly he got a corker In the jaw and
dropped in heap, though not unconscious.
at this point tho fight was stopped by the
police. No decision was rendered by the
