If the statement be true that Gen. Fitz
Hugh Lees corps, which has been, and is
still, In camp at Jacksonville, Florida,
is in good health, with very small sick
list, it would seem to constitute u very
reasonable basis for assuming that the
large amount of sickness at the other
camps were traceabls to the camp com
manders rather than to the War Depart
ment, upon which it is getting to be the
fashion to lay everything which has gone
wrong. Jacksonville cannot be a specially
healthful locality at this time of the year.
It is much further south than Falls
Church or Chickamauga, and the charac-
ter of Florida soil, which is marshy, is
not generally regarded as conducive to
health. The War Department probably
made no better provision for Jackson
vile than for Chic kamauga, and If the
men are better it would seem to follow
that the commanders on the ground took
better care of them or compelled them
to take bett er care of themselves.

Inasmuch as all the evidence upon

impossible to judge how large and i'm
portant a part of it the letter which Col
Henry has acknowledged to be forgery
constituted. There may be trustworthy
evidence enough without 1T to justify q
conviction, and there may not. But the
fact that letter was forged TO assist in
his conviction shows that there was some
body who had some other motive than the
furnishing of the guilty for desiring his
conviction. What that motive was
whether desire to crafty somebody S
personal hatred of Dreyfus or to screen

Speakiug of the complaints of hardships
of the soldiers In the recent war. AdJutant
Corbin saws: Zone trouble is that people
have been accustomed to dwell upon the
poetic side of war, and that they are now
beginning to learn the truth. There is
no poetry of war, except before and after
wards. Before, there is the fervor Of pa
triotic exaltation. A long time after
ward we look back upon brave deeds
War itself is grim, monotonous TRACE
dy" This is all true The COST of war
either in human suffering or dol
lars and cents is little thought of
because of the patriotic exalta-
tion" with which it is ushered in. En-
thusiasm is not conducive to calm judg-
ment. When Congress declared war the
members of it (that is those who were in
favor of declaring war; were in state OF
patriotic exaltation." When the volun-
teers enlisted they too, were in state Of
patriotic exaltation." Few, If any of
them, had any real conception Of the
hardships they must necessarily undergo.
Indeed they were not in the right frame
VI iuiAu w loElu any. AHht as as ufuo u
all wars as OF this one. But generally
In war there is excitement enough
to keep up in some degree the
soldiers exaltation. Fighting and march
ing keep his mind occupied, and his en-
thusiasm high. But in this war. for tie
most of the volunteers there was nothing
of this kind. There was nothing more ex-
citing than the daily routine OF drilling,
drilling, drilling. Under this treatment
the soldiers "exaltation" soon passed of,
and there never was anything to bring it
back again. 1t is enthusiasm that carries
men over rough places and lightens bur-
den that without it would be too griev-
GUS to be borne. The great mass of
the volunteers were in situations that
were fatal to enthusiasm. Hence the SOL
diers very soon began to realize that war
is monotonous tragedy.

Memories of Rear Admiral By S. r.
Franklin, Rear Admiral United Sta tes
Navy. New York: Harper & Brothers;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon.
This book contains the story of over fifty
years of service in the American navy.
AS a midshipman Admiral Franklin
served with men who had sailed with
Hull and Decatur in 1919. and as cap
tain he was with Farragut at Mobile
Bay. His recollections amount to a his
tory of our naval service in war and
peace. Long assignments on foreign sta
lions have made his life full of incident,
and his recollections CT notable men,
places and events. both at home and
abroad, are numerous and varied. The
volume was prepared without referring to
notes or journals, and this has impaired
an Informally conversational tone to the
pages of the book.
There is a strong flavor of Marryatt in
the opening chapters, which tell of the
authors rol licking mid shipman days off
the coasts of South America and Califor-
MIA. From the primitive naval academy
of those times he went to Washing ton in
164S, and engaged in consistency work
until ordered to the Mediterranean squad
ron. His "reminiscences of society in
the American capital fifty years ago are
followed by reoollections of foreign SER
vice. naturally interesting because ma
val officers duties, social and official,
necessarily bring him in contact with
great vraiety Of prominent and interest

The statement that President Mckinley
has instructed Alger and Miles and
Shafter to keep their mouths shut may
not be true, but certainly it would be a
wise caution to give these gentlemen.
Ventilating their jeaiousies and dislike
of one another in newspaper interviews
is exceedingly prejudioiai to military
discipline, and the effect of it must be
demoralizing down through the rank and
file. There are proper tribunals to inves-
tigate charges of dereliotion of duty, or
any other sort of delinquency on the part
Of military officers, but newspapers are not
one OF them, and while man remains an
officer of the army he should seek his own
vindication or somebody else's condem-
nation, through proper and regular tri.
bunals and not through irregular and
improper ones.
