feeling to hold back bit In future
should be sort Of demorallzeu temPor-
htiIy--for the very bravest men would
do so under the same circumstances.
But what was the result? Why. the
officers felt 1t necessary to forge some
what ahead OF their men. TO inspire
them with fresh courage. II is in con
sequence OF this that the British lost
so remarkably a large number Of their
officers in Killed or prisoners.
Brave But Incautious.
think the British officers have ex-
hIbited exceptional bravery In this war,
but / believe also that they have no
right to expose themselves III this fash
ion. The interests of their commands
and the interests of the whole army de-
mand that officers be more careful o.
the way they expose Themselves.
il strikes me that 1t was a mistake
for the British to force SO many addI-
tIoRaI fights when they found them
selves defeated for the third eonsecu-
tive time. / think Il would have been
wiser for them 10 hold hack little
while longer to recover themselves in
stead OF forcing another fight with an
enemy embroidered by the atmosphere
OF recent victory.
Rough Riders Not Favored.
Too much Importance Is being at
tached to the value Of the rough rider
In the English army. as well as In
America. The opinion have held about
rough riders for long while has been
fully borne out by the results in South
Africa. The rough rider is NOT the
coming soldier" as the general public
is inclined to imagine The. backbone
OF all powerful armies is. and always
VIII be, the solid. regular files of rigidly
disciplined Infantry and artillery The
rough rider us battle fighter IS In his
own way and that OF his army. ROose-
velts regiment was indeed success,
but that regiment was situated in un
usual circumstances In the Philippines,
in many Instances during the Civil war
and notably during the campaign Of
1875. when Custer was killed, the rough
rider proved himself anything but a
perfect batter. The only good use for
rough riders generally IS for scouting
purposes. and 1t must be said that In
this work they cannot be surpassed.
Britain to Win, But WhenR
/ would not venture any predictions
as to how long the war viii last. It
would seem that the British are GER
tain to win eventually. IT all foreign
powers continue to be neutral. but the
length OF the war will depend upon
what preparations the Beers have made
in the INFERIOR of their territory. and
this n, one In America cal estimate.
The outer defenses may be the only
important defenses the Beers have, al
though do not think they are. and the
nature OF their interior derenses Will
determine the length o; their lighting.
or course II is out Of the question to
Imagine that simpiy because the Beers
have checked every English general 70
far the English win not begin new tnr-
ties and win BY these and their gu
perior strength All Other things re-
manning as at present. the British must
win.

view fire is directed upon the buildings
occupied by the inhabitants and troops and
so wear out their endurance
II was the recognition of the fact that
the civilian population and civilian build
ings must. during bombarlment. suffer
as much or more than the military de
tenders and defcnces which in 1870
caused the Germans 10 hesitate
so long in employing IL against
Paris. Paris was invested by the Ger
mans in September. hut it was not until
December % that its bomhardment was
begun. By January 3 shells We're falling
freely in the quarters of the town lying
on the left bank of tn, Seine. and on Jan =
uary a general exodus of the inhabitants
from the left to the right bank began.
ON January L. a request that the sub
Jects OF foreign states then in Paris might
be allowed to remove their persons and
property was made to the German authori-
ties by the members of the Diplomatic
Corps still remaining in the beleaguered
city but in reply Bismarck while admit
ting that a bombarded town was no Gt
powers. declined to permit any exodus on
a large scale though he added that. out Of
courtesy. the representatives OF the neutral
states might even at that stage be allowed
to leave.
The distance of the batteries in the first
days of the bombardment OF Paris from
the furthest point reached by their shells
was about five miles, rather more than
less. The weather was at times foggy.
and this. coupled with the fact that the
domes OF the buildings together with
that Of the Pantheon, were conspicOus oh
jects at which to aim, was probably the
cause why several shells fell aud burst
in close proximity to the large hospital,
Val de Grace. although the Red Gross flag
was flying over il.
So frequently did this become the case
that on January IL General TTochu sent
a formal protest TO the German headquar-
ters In reply Count Moltke denied most
solemnly that the act was intended by the
German artillerists. and with Il certain
grim humor concluded by expressing a
hope that shortly the occurrences COM
planned OF would be altogether avoided. as
the German batteries would be advanced
nearer to the town and it. would conse-
quently become possible to place their
shells more accurately.

those offered by domestic hotel. Among
this class of hotels in Washington the

grown in popular favor since its inception.
To add to the other charming features pre-

Thursday musicales has been inaugursted.
and has proven decidedly popular. Last
evening reception in honor of the Chi

other pleasant surroundings. make the
Elsmere an ideal place in which 20 live.
