President Mckinley, the fighting chief of the United States of America, is fighting the most vigorous campaign ever fought. His battlefield Is a sheet of paper, his weapons pencil. his ammunition the cable dispatches.
 Upon great chart spread out before him the president is fighting the war of the worlds. The maps show the location of the fleets, Spanish and American, and the small dots show the position of the warships. A move and the scene shifts, another change and the map is changed from one side of the earth to another, and each move changes the possessions of a nation.
 President McKinley's war of the worlds reaches around the globe. Never was such a wide war fought before. To fight 1t he men and the skill of the finest mechanics at the disposal of the government.
 The presidents war reserve map is the United States with the states partitioned off like the rooms in an architects plan In the space is marked the population of each state and the number of available fighters. Upon another chart is a list of those who have gone to the front Remain ing on McISinley's chart Is number which tells the strength of the remaining forces. This is the presidents reserve map, upon which he can dwell when he hears of de- feat
 President Mckinley fought the battle of Manila several days before the fight. He knew that the Spanish had possession of the cable at Manila and that tn elast mes sages he could convey were those sent to Admiral Dewey at Hong Kong. So he plan ned out the battle, placing the Spanish ships and the Spanish forts on one side and the American fleet on the other. He sent Dewey the plan and told him to go. Events showed how well he planned. From the time Admiral Dewey left Hong Kong until he arrived he had no word but his battle was fought for him.
 The president puffs cigar while he fights his battles, and no sultan or czar ever played the ancient game of chess with more ease than the president of the United States fights hls bloodless battles. They say he Is very tired after the strategy and that he wishes it were over to the end, but he fights again on paper the next day, and will fight until the war is over.
 The war chamber lies full of charts. One shows the gulf of Mexico and the fateful harbor. Small pegs indicate the position Of the ships As they move around the pegs are changed. Soon scout boat brings in tidings of sighted ship and instantly the peg is moved to correspond with the in- formation.
 The Spanish ships are located by the gov ernment in two ways. One is by cable. Every consul at every seaport country Is on the qui vive for information. As soon as he learns of a Spanish warship on or near the coast he cables the government at washington. This is the rule on both sides of the world, and so the navy officials and the war board know as soon as foreign ship skts any seacoast

If through sandy hills and alkili plains the brown dust could be seen floating across the area. Across this map the war chief transported his fighting boys in blue with as much luxury and in as palatial a man. ner as any grandee that ever visited our shore.
 No expense was spared, because he knew that when those troops left Chicka-

 It is to this foresightedness of our great president that we may lay claim to having
