The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-10-29

proper conduct of the war, it is upon his
shoulders that the responsibility rests
In some of the countries of Europe sim
liar condition of affairs exists, but in
France the president has no such preroga-
tives CIR powers. There the actual admins
tration of the army is vested in the min
lister of war, but as this official is often a
civilian it is net customary for him to as
sumo control of the forces.
At the present time the minister or war,
the Marquis de Gallifet, is one of the most
distinguished of French generals, but as he
has been retired from the army on account
of having passed the age limit 1t Is DOUBT
full If he would take the active command
of the French forces, even in case of war.
If he should not do so the command of the
army would devolve upon the three gen.
erals, General Zurlinden, General lamont
and General Brugere. Up ito short time
ago General Zurlinden ranked as one of the
first comma nders in the land. but at pres
ent he is not in the best arder and General
Brugere has taken his place as command
er of the metropolitan district. His abili-
ty as a fighting man is so well recognizezd,
however, that he would undoubtedly be re-
called if trouble should threaten.
As a fighting general lamont is equally
as distinguished and he exercises control
over his men that is not entirely due to dis
cipline. Although he is a strict disciple
marian there is another secret to his sue
cess. Like Napoleon, he has made his men
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-10-29

present at the manoeuvers and although he
seldom makes sugges tons those that he
has made have tended greatly to the i'm
proven,ent of the service. All of which
leads one to imagine that he would not be
an entirely silent factor if the war die
breads so much should be thrust upon
him.
The German minister of war, General Won
Goessler, is one of the least distinguished
officers of the army, and would be in no
sense competent to undertake the COM
mend of the forces in case of war. This,
however, does not trouble the emperor,
for both the Prussian law and the German
constitution place the command of the
army in This hands. If war was to be de-
cbared. therefore, there is little doubt that
this fiery war lord would take the field in
person and that he would freely assume all
the responsibilities for the dereat or victory
of his great armed force. According ito the
constitution the reignng princes OF the en-
pire would be the virtual advisers of the
emperor but it is doubtful If he would be
willing to listen to their advice, few of
them being competent to assume this pre-
rogative. In fact the man who. next to
the emperor, would command the army
would be General Alfred Won Waldersee,
one of the most scientific of the fighting
men in Germany. He Joined the army in
1880 and since that time he has held every
grade of office from that of cadet to the
position which ale now holds, that of Heu-

tenant general and personal adjutant to
the emperor. During that time he has been
so fortunate as to receive much OF MS
training under the eye of the great gem
eral, Won Moltke, and with such man
to curb the headstrong tendencies of the
young ruler tAe military affairs of Ger
many cannot but be well administered.
Both King Humbert in Italy and Emper-
or Francis Joseph in Austria
have the constitutional right to claim the
chief command of the army, but in neither
case would such power be assumed. 1t Is
equally certain that the Prince of Wales,
even If he should become King of England
would never take the field, although ne
would undoubtedly assume powers that are
now vested in other officials.
At present the technical head of the
British army Is the Marquis of Lansdowne
the secretary of state for war, but as he
is a civilian without any military training
he is practically little more than figure
head. Field Marshal Lord Wolseley being
the actual commander Upon the accession
of the Prince of Wales to the throne there
will probably be a change in the compo-
sitlon of the military administration. The
prince is not a man who will SIT silently
and allow his power to be kept from him,
and 1t is doubtful If he would even consent
to allow this position to be bestowed upon

his brother the Duke of Connaught, al
though the latter has shown himself to be
a good soldier and an able commander.
That both Lord Wolseley and the Duke of
Connaught will remain important factors
in military affairs of Great Britain for a
dong tfafe to come, however. there can be
no doubt.
Lord Wolseley entered the army in 1850
and has seen some of the most active SER
vice in all the wars that have required the
attention of the British soldiers since that
time. A few years ago at a state banquet
he was toasted by the queen in person, an
honor that has rarely, If ever, been accord
ed military man in England.
OF course the Duke of Connaught has
had no such opportunities to distinguish
himself, the Crimea and the great Egypt
ian and Indian campaigns coming at time
when he was SILL too young to assume
charge of the forces. The creditable man
ner in which he went through the battle of
Tel-El X ebir, however, proved him to be
possessed of the proper martial spirit and
ne will undoubtedly take advantage of the
first opportunity to show that he is fitted
to assume command of the army. 1t was
In the hope that he would yet be able to
obtain this position that he refused the
heirsnip to the duchy of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, and it is possible that the Prince of
Wales might be persuaded to consent to al
low this honor to be conferred upon him.

The Nicaragua canal will soon be thing
accomplished. This, as you may know,
is to be a passage from the Pacific to the
Atlantic through which ships can pass,
a ships canal wide enough and deep
enough fer warship and capable of trans
porting all the grain from the Pacific coast
to the Atlantic which now must be taken
across country at tremendous expense.
The canal will be provided with over
twenty locks, working very rapidly by
modern machinery, and 1t will consist of
three or four parts, from the time 1T starts
at the San Juan river, passes through the
narrow peninsula to Lake Nicaragua and
goes on to the Pacific. The neck here is
very narrow and. there will be little over
twelve miles of land to cut, most of it
being through soft. sandy Soil which yields
very readily to the shovel and blasting
machines
The Nicaragua canal, when completed,
will form broad, beautiful water high
way of Gnestimable value ito both North
and South America, as 1t will enable the
western coasts of both countries to send
all their exports cheaply and quickly across

Now that the air is charged with mar
tial spirit and echoes of war and rumors
of wars may be heard in more than one
part of the globe it is interesting to ex-
anime the military construction of the great
nations of the world, to see what characte
of armies would be thrown into the field
and who would command these stupendous
forces, If, by any unfortunate chance, 9TH
er important powers should become a
party to the present unpleasantnesses.
OF course we have had "a slight illustra-
ton of what the United States could do
in time of war, for while the trouble with
Spain was of too brief duration to enable
one to judge of the full strength of the
reserve force of this country, it gave the
war department an opportunity to prove
that a mighty army could be called to-
gether and equipped for duty in COM
paratiyely short time
Another feature of iJae American system
that has been proved to be a good one in
time of need is the fact that the president,
by vlrture of the constitution is command
er-in-chief of the army. Beneath him are
subordinate officials, generals of more or
less ability as the case may be, and 1t is
their duty to see that his orders are prop
erly carried out, but 1t is the president
who must answer to the people for the

the world.
Wheat and all the other grains of the
west; and fruits spices and nuts, the pro-
ducts of South America, must now be car
ried across the continent by train IN tine
north. and by caravan in South America.
Much of the really valuable product OF the
country is lost because of the attendant
expense for freight, but with the canal
much of this can be overcome and the
same produce can be transported for a
mere trifie.
The Nicaragua canal will also be most
useful to tourists. Those who live upon
the Pacific coast and must pay 800 for rail
way transportation to the Atlantic coast,
can then get an all water passage around
, for half that sum. perhaps cheaper. The
time consumed will not be appreciably
greater, and constant business will be
done, just now done on "a limited scale
by the coast steamers.
The climate through the country In which
the canal will run is peculiarly good. The
neck of Niragua lies in the current which
sweeps across the Caribbean sea and blows
ever fresh to the Pacific ocean

love him, and they would follow him upon
the most perious expedition without a
word of protest. Like Zurlinden he has
seen active service in many wars and has
distinguished himself by many brilliant
feats and acts of bravery.
Although the Romanoffs are a fighting
race, the present czar has an innate dis
like for soldering. In case of war, there
fore, while he would still be the head of
the army by virtue of his position en-
percr the command of the great force
would be vested in his uncle, the Grand
Duke Michael, an ideal commander, severe

so courteous and kind, so considerate and
patient with his men that the soldiers of
the Russian army not only respect but love
him. When still young man The displayed
a wonderful power for commanding men,
and during the Russo-Turkish war he dis
tinguished himself by winning several bril-
liant victories. He is net the only member
of the royal family in the service of the
army, however.
There are several of the grand dukes who
hold positions as corps commanders, and
they would see to it that the car was well
represented If the occasion should ever re-
quire. In spite of his hatred of war how
ever the emperor still takes considerable
interest in his armed force. He Is always

From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.
In conversation With a gentleman who
has watched the news carefully as to the
present cotton crop through mass OF prl-
vate sources, as we'll as that published in
the newspapers has had these interesting
matters to relate:
The cotton crop is practically picked
out-only remnants left in the fields and
few unopened bolls hero and there That
amount to nothing of they open, as the
whole of it will hardly amount to a bale of
cotton to the field. By inquiry you viii
find most planters have completed their
picking except these remnants. Try 1T.
and, further, IL you don't believe them
then go with them home and 1 Will pay the
expense of your trip il you find their
statement untrue.
1T IS astonishing how much our most in
teliigent people depend upon the opinion
of the people of the cotton exchanges i'll
New York and Liverpool as to this crop.
Our people all know the crop is miserably
short, but the facts seem to be lifeless I'M
less the ticker stamps New York opinion
that way. 1t reminds me of the tale have
heard of the socks made in Macon, which
have to be sent north to have New York
stamped on them before they find a ready
sale in this market.
"a more astonishing fact is that while
any well advised business man here knows
the crop is picked out, he fails to appreci-
tie the Importance of that knowledge and
the sensational effect it will have when the
world knows. He simply stands by with
his hands in his pockets and allows the
smallest crop and finest grade cotton made
in years to leave US at a price that is
great sacrifice to our business. 1t is al
most gone.
