Early History of Poland's Capital.

There are many traditions concerning
the origin of Warsaw. One of the old
est. and probably most reliable. is the
account which says that in the year HOS
a Bohemian family of the name of Var
zowski suspected of treason to its King.
was banished from Bohemia. 1t settled
on the banks of the River Vistula, and
the growth of centuries has resulted in
the city of Warsaw-in Polish, Warsza-
vain French Narsovle. On the north
shore of the Vistula is the original seat
of this family, now a suburb of War
saw. known as Praga, in honor of the
Bohemian capital. Prague. The first his
torical mention of Warsaw is in the year
1913. when the city came into the hands
of Troydek. son of Boleslaw, prince Of
Mazovia. Troydek fortified the town
heavily and made it his stronghold. The
ruins of his palace may still be seen at

One of the things that appears to have
been settled by the Boer war is the dis
appearance from the British army of
the organization known as the army
corps. 1t is stated authoritatively that
the division is the largest tactical unit
that can be conveniently employed in the
field. The army corps sent TO South AT
RIGA went to pieces Immediately after it
landed, and all subsequent reinforce
ments went out as divisions, and Lord
Roberts worked with the divisional unit
throughout. However much the corps
organization may be adapted to Euro
pean warfare, it has no place in such
wars as Great Britain usually wages.
With the disappearance of the army
corps, corps troops will so, and the di-
visions will have their own small proper
tion Of cavalry and artillery. The cavai-
~ and artillery will then have their own
groupings according to circumstances.

Mid sloping rows of shining steel,

Them long ago, for woe or veal
Rides on before; and in that face
Deep-scarred and brown, ! see once more
Him who abhorred defeat, disgrace,
Leading victorious as of yore.
