ESSENTIALS OF SUCCESS AND

Reading a chapter by the historian
James B. Parker, IN Spain since the
Armada (Which Is simply a feet Of
armed ships ard is SPANISH We found
this judicfous and rue remark. ard
we quote Ii. because OF its exact apph-
cation TO present conditions IN our own
country. The historian says: IF an
army Is iz-discipisned. iIi-fed. and Ill
Differed. no amount OF courage among
the soldiers will avert sure disaster"
When a North Carolina regiment n a
certain battle in Virginia behaved bad
ly. after fighting mos bravely IN many
battles. We asked a First Lieutenant
of a company with which we were well
acquainted how ans this 10 happen?
His reply was. No regiment could
fight under such an acting Colonel as
Capt. -- the senior Captain" They
simply gave way before an overwhelm-
ing attack OF n enemy and fed the
field. We heard tx al Colonel
(Judge) Tom Ruffin say, that in the
same fight the Colonel took himself to
the rear. and. If We remember correct

true that very Colonel had fought
very g~allantly elsewhere.

THE FRENCH MASSES FRIENDLY
but the A~rissOcracy and the Rich Sci.
nshly are Friendly to spain.

Mr.. Harry Walters, president OF the
Atlantic Coast Line. was at his desk
in his office in the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday, having just returned
from Europe. He arrived in New York
Monday night on the steamer Cam
pania, and went straight to Richmond.
where on Tuesday he attended Major
Baltimore only a few days, as it is
his intention to go south to look after
his extensive railroad property.
Where did 1 eav my yacht? Now.
I cannot answer that question, for /
fear the Spanish would get her sure
enough. They tried hard enough to
get her, and me, too. in the Mediter-
ranean, but / was fortunate enough to
have a friend in Madrid, who sent me
word of the danger. and l did not lose
any time in getting into a safe place.
Mr.. James Gordon Bennett. who
was cruising on the Mediterranean at
the same time, had a more narrow es-
cape than L. He was actually chased
by a Spanish ship, and had to take
refuge in a port with which he was not
acquainted. He went into the harbor
at the great risk of striking a rock or
running aground"
Did you pick VI any new works of
art?"
mo. I had intended to look at some
I had in mind, and would have done
so but for the war. That put a stop
to the execution Of all my plans. 1
had to drop everything and hasten
home. 1 intended during the summer
to cruise northward as far as Norway,
and did not expect to return to work
until the latter part of the year, but
here I am, and here / shall remain for
some time"
attitude of the French toward Ameri-
cans?"
while in Paris I became thoroughly
convinced that the great mass Of the
people, in the city at least, favor our
side as against Spain. They hope
that the success of the Americans
would mean the overthrow of the mo-
narchy in Spain and the establishment
of a republic. For the same eason
that the French masses favor Amerf-
cans, the a~ristocracy favors Spain.
They do not want to see the monarchy
overthrown. The wealthy classes also
favor Spain ecaus they have large
investments in Spanish securities.
They control the French press, which,
as a result, has ~espoused the Spanish
cause"
How about the proposed Anglo
American ~aliiance?"
Friends whom I met aboard are de-
cidedly in favor of it. Speaking for
myself, / say it is a good thing. ! am
not prepared to say how it is to be
brought about. 1t is one of those
problems which will work out salts
facorily in the end. / do not favor an
alliance both for offensive and de-
fensive purposes. / do not favor a
compact which would obligate us to go
to war every time that England does,
but | do favor an amiCable under
standing between the countries which
will be mutually advantageous

the vice of making rolitical oppor-

The accumulated Impurities in the

their efforts to relieve the ciogged
