Too Much Haste.

The hardships and privations OF
u army have not come from ineffi-
cheney of officers so much as from
the fact that it is easier to get our
men into the field than it is to get
supplies there to them. The army
was put to the front before any pow
err in the world could have gotten
the necessary food, medicine and
various supplies ready. No one is
to blame only for too much haste IN
getting soldiers to the front, and the
whole country is TO blame for that
We were all in too big a hurry.

tion but gave promise Of something bet
ter to follow. Later he appeared at St
Petersburg as the editor of "A newspape
but the limitations of such position
seem to have led him to abandon it after
a short trial. Next he was heard of in
Paris, and there he fell in with a little
company Of congcnial spirits, most of
them cXiled Polish mobiles, artists and
musicians. Among them they evolved a
utopan scheme for establishing Il colony
something on the order Of the famous
Crook farm venture. 4 settlement was
made near Los Angeles, which they call
ed Anuo Luni. Among its promoters be-
sides Sienii2wicz were Count ChalpOn-
ski and his famous wife, Helena Mod
jcsEa.
The colony was a failure, hut it re-
suited in making famous at least two of
the colonists. Modleska, having sunk
her slim fortune i'll the scheme, was
compelled to turn to the stage for a liv-
ing and began that most successful ca
rccr which has made her name a house
hold word throughout the United States.
Sienkiowicz returned to Poland, and
there published series of American
sketches which brought him to the at
tention of the European reading public.
He became editor of IL high class jour
nal in Warsaw, and in 1880 began bis
life work, the historical trilogy, which
has been printed in at least four la,!-
guages and has made bis name famou3
on two continents. The volunles were
first printed in his Polish Journal, hut
later appeared III Vienna and Berlin
The first volume was entitled with
Fire and Sword and was followed by
"Ihe Deluge' and Pan Michael, " the
whole constituting historical novel
covering the Cos.ack war under John
Kazimir, the war with Sweden and the
Turkish Invasion Of the west.
The peculiar fascination and strength
Of these works undoubtedly lie in the
wide and varied range of the authors
