the evil day. and would have made the ulti-
mate eataclysm all the more dreadful.
The fact is. then, that neither war nor peace.
out righteousness, is the true aim Of states
manship and OF national policy II truth and
justice among men can be attained and main
tained by processes OF peace. well and good
Let there be peace. But II the inexorable choice
is between breaking the peace and being false
10 the right. why then cry havoc and let slip
the dogs Of war;" That is the stern but after
all reasonable and beneheent philosophy which
makes neither peace nor war an end in itself,
but each OF them merely a means 10 the higher
end OF truth and justice. And in that ennobled
conception is the fundamental principle Of
like, even OF. simply military. policy, that the
war 10 deserve success must have consistent
aim toward good and worthy end. Continuity
OF policy, hxedness OF purpose, Is as essential
in waging a war as in building a house. In
either operation lack OF plan or stiffness OF
procedure is fatal. This principle is further de-
veloped and established by Mr.. Wilkinson in his
essay upon Gustavus Adolphus. a commander
who possessed undoubted military genius but
whose genius consisted chiefly in having per-
fectly defined and maintained policy, and in
adapting the means at hand to the end in view.
We have not space TO follow Mr. wilkinson's
argument in its many phases and applications,
through all the essays which make up this in
teresting and instructive volume. The topics
are many, historical. technical and speculative:
Nelson. and Plevna; Constantinople. and the
Khyber Pass: the Command Of an Army, and
the Civilian War Minister; the Defence of Lon
don. and the Command Of the Sea: and many
more. besides half dozen the South African
war Most of these are reprinted from various
reviews and magazines, in which Mr.. Wilkin-
sons work has become familiar TO the general
public. II will be recalled. too. that Mr. Wilkn-
son discussed the South African war from day
TO day IN The Morning Post OF London, and
that his comments were cabled about the world
as being Of as much interest as the bulletins
from Kimberley and Ladysmith. No military
writer Of the day has. in fact. obtained wider
vogue than he. or more firmly established a
reputation for clarity OF vision, integrity Of
thought and accuracy of judgment. These
qualities Of the author. as well as the obvious
and intrinsic interest of the essays themselves,
make the appearance of the volume in hand
most welcome and constitute it's title to be
commended 10 those who would form an ade-
quate conception Of the true principles Of
war and of the, duties Of a nation in maintain
ing a state OF. readiness for whatever changes
may befal its foreign relationships.

BATTLE PICTURES.
HISTORY AS WRITTEN BY THE LATE
STEPHEN CRANE

GREAT BATTLES OF THE WORLD. BY Stephen
crane; Illustrated by John Sloan Duodecimo
PIP 2's Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Com
The genesis of this volume is easily OWNED
Stephen Crane had drawn some clever battle
pictures he had written The Red Badge of
Courage" and so il was assumed that he could
write effectively of any historic conflicts In
brief predatory note are informed that the
choice of the battles was left to Mr.. Crane. "and
he chose them for their picturesque and theatric
qualities. not alone for their decisiveness." This
tells us what TO look for: it promises us more Of
Mr.. Cranes literary impressionism. We find it,
but not in its best estate. We quote from the
chapter on Lutzen. the lines describing the end
of Gustavus Adolphus:
In the mean time the King. at the head of his
right wing, had attacked the enemys left. His
splendidly powerful cuirassiers of Finland had
easily routed all the Croats and Poles covering
this wing. and their flight spread confusion
among the rest Of the cavalry. But he then re-
ceiVed the news that his infantry had retired
and that his left wing, under the heavy fire of
the windmill hill, about to yield.
Ordering Horn 10 pursue the wing which he
had just defeated, he turned TO fly to the as
sistance of his own men. His horse carried him
New-York tribune., 1900-12-15

Sc swiftly that one kept up with him but the
Duke OF Lauenburg
He galloped straight to the place where his
men were being assailed with the greatest fury.
and his nearsightedness led him too near. An
Imperiaiist corporal noticed that all gave way
before him with great respect and shouted TO
musketeer:
Fire at him! That must be man of dis
tinction" And the Kings left arm was shat
tered
He begged Lauenburg to help him TO a place
of safety, but the next moment he was shot in
the back. Turning TO Lauerburg, he said:
Brother. have enough; seek only 70 save
your own life
As he spoke he fell to the ground. where
Yolley of other shots pierced him.
desperate struggle still took place over him.
German page, refusing TO tell the royal rank
or his master was mortally shot. But Gus
tsvus still had life enough to say:
I am the King of Sweden. and seal with my
blood the Protestant religion and the liberties
OF Germany" Then he murmured: MY God!
Alas! my poor Queen!'
This is hardly calculated to excite unusual
emotion. We fear in fact that Mr.. Cranes
talent was i'll at ease in the execution Of the
task that he assumed. He was quite incompe-
tent TO paint the bit es chosen with the syn
thetic power demanded for an adequate descrip-
ton OF them. He was innocent OF that political
instinct which is also indispensable to a seri-
ous historian of great military events. and it
would have been, perhaps. better for his reputa-

zine to which they were originally contributed.

Confluence, Pa. will be here for a game.
This is a pretty strong team, as Holderbaum,
of Bedford. is pitching, and Tate, of Everett,
is playing third base. and several other play
ers of good reputation are with the team. An
interesting occasion is expected The game
will be extensively advertised all along the
Creek and good crowd is sure to be present.
AS this is the last game here of the season
every lover of the national sport should show
his loyalty by being present.

"The Gladiator"

The appearance of that sterling actor,
Robert Downing, at Ravenscrofts' Opera
House Thursday evening next, will I'M
doubtedly prove one of the events of the
season. The play for his engagement
here will be "The Gladiator" which
will be rendered with all the wealth of
scenery, properties and costumes given
to it in the Eastern cities. Mr.. Down
ing will be supported by a company
(said to be the strongest i'll point of eX-
cellence i'll the country which includes
Miss Alberta Converse, his leading lady,
who, the critics say, combines the beauty,
talent and magnetism of Mary Anderson
with the sweetness of Adelaide Nelson ;
also Charles d. Herman, who last season
was the principal support of Frederick
Warde. That our lovers of tragedy will
appreciate this treat goes without say
ing, and that crowded house awaits
the appearance Of this company is equal
ly fact that ought to be assured.
