THEY BOSS THE WAR.
THE PERSONNEL OF THE NAVAL
BOARD or STRATEGY.

Something About the Men who Are Being
So Freely Criticised and to Whom Ad-
vice Is offered In Wholesale Lots.
Theirs an All Night Job.
Even in times of peace Uncle Sam is a
wide awake old chap, but when he has a
fight on he never sleeps This does not
mean that all America is losing It's sleep
during these warlike times, but that the
government is always represented, night
and day, by men who are intrusted with
the job of bossing the war. There are
enough of these officials so that they can
take turns at sleeping.
The naval board Of strategy Is the tech
nical name Of this little collection Of war
managers. 1t Is practically secondary
or assistant cabinet. The president and
his official advisers direct the main policy
Of the war, but It is the board of strategy
which carries out this policy and attends
to the details.
Rather unpopular have these official
strategists become Of late, because the av-
erage American Is an inpatient So ]. He
does not like delay and long wait between
acts. He wants the scene hitting done
quickly and the actic to be continuous.
He would like battle every few days, so
that the thing may be finished. He doesn't
understand why it should take so long to
equip, drill and move troops, fit out trans
ports collect squadrons and corner the
enemy. For many days he asked, why In
| thunder doesn't Sampson get at the Span
ish fieetp' "Why don't we take HavanaP"
and "Why in blazes doesn't the govern.
ment send troops to DoweyP" AS nobody
appears to answer his queries, he says hard
things about the board of strategy.
And it is not only the citizen but some
of the naval officers who have criticised the
war board. They have spoken scornfully
of the men who fight "paper battles" and
do not turn the navy loose on the Spanish.
| 1t is but fair however, to say that the
strategists at Washington have not caused
all the delays. We do not prepare for var
every day, and there arc q thousand and
one little bitches liable to occur of which
the civilian knows nothing. For instance,

CHEF OF SURGEONS.
Remarkable Career Of Dr. Nicholas Sem
Now In the Volunteer Army.

Now In the volunteer Army.
DR.. Nicholas Sem, who has been
made chief surgeon of an army brigade
with the rank Of lieutenant colonel, is
probably the foremost physician of the
country. Ho began lie as farmer
boy in Wisconsin and has won his high
place and national reputation by hard
work. OF course he had unusual mental
faculties to work with but. the rise of
this plowboy unaided by friends or for
tune is certainly remarkable.
DR.. Sem was born at Buchs, canton
Of St. Gall, Switzerland, Oct. 81, 1874
He came 10 this country with his par
ents shortly before the civil war, set
Ting on a farm near Ashford, Fond du
Lac county, Wis. After graduating
from the grammar schools at Fond du
Lac he entered the Office Of DIR. Munk
of that town, and later entered at the
Chicago Medical college, receiving his
diploma in 1868.
He soon showed his genius and rose
rapidly in his profession. Later courses
of study at Munich, Germany, and New
York perfected his knowledge. He has
taken an advanced stand in his branch
Of science, and is now recognized as an
authority in the United States and Eu-
rope, He has held several professorships
in Chicago colleges.

How the Allied Fleets OF Great Britain
and the United States Compare In Size
and Efficiency with Those of the Con-
tinental Nations.
While we are not much disturbed by the
threats of combined attack on the United
States and Great Britain by the rest Of
Europe IL is well enough to look at the
facts. No one can tell what may come out
Of the future. We know that the SYM
pathy of all tho Latin races of Europe,
those Of the French, the Italians and tho
Austrians, are with Spain. We are certain
that the Germans are unfriendly to us,
and we might confidently expect that in a
combination against the Anglo-Saxons
that the Russians would join forces with
their neighbors against their ancient enc
mics
As for the Anglo-Amerlcan alliance
which we arc talking about on both sides
Of tho ocean, there are many things be-
sides sentiment which urge IL. The Zone
blood, one purpose, one nation" idea is all
right in its way, but 1t Is not nearly so
strong to convince as the realization that
self interests would drive us together.

on the other side would have but 26S, 600,

But such vast armies, greater than hav

Something About the Mon who Are

We are naturally somewhat interest
ed in the new Spanish cabinet which
has been created to tide over the affairs
of Alfonso's disturbed kingdom until
the present crisis either passes or de-
velops into new one. It is regarded as
merely temporary cabinet, but it faces
grave situation. It may be the last
cabinet under the monarchy.
Senior Sagasta who remains as pre-
mier and has picked out new assistants,
not because he wished TO, but because
he had to, is fairly well known to us.
He is shrewd anu cunning politician,
with whom we have dealt before.
