population we have men enough who are
capable of leading armies and winning
victories. But it does not follow that we
shall discover at once the proper men for
the chief command or for the most re-
sponsible subordinate positions. 1t not I'M
frequently happens in war that the discov-
cry OF the proper men to lead armies is
only made by the disagreeable process of
passing through series of disastrous de-
feats. This was particularly noticeable in
the East during the Civil War, three
fourths of which was over before COM
mander was found that could lead the
Union forces to victory. General after
general had previously been put in COM
mand OF that army, had entered upon the
task assigned amid the acclamations of
the press and people and had disastrously
failed. 1t does not follow that this I'M
pleasant experience would be repeated in
the event of another war, but, OF course, it
might be. There is at least comfort in the
reflection that England is more nearly
destitute of skillful generals than we are.
