: FATAL WORDS.
The Mistake which Sealed the Doom
b Of General John Andre, of the
British Army.

/ At Tarrytown thereis q monument,
surmounted by bronze figure ever on
duty, that marks the spot where, on
September 90, 1850, a man sprang, as it
were, out of the ground, seized the
bride of the travellers horse, and at
the same instant demanded q halt.
Two other men Joined the first, and to
these three the traveller offered the au-
thority for John Anderson to pass on
public business, and signed by the ma
jor general commanding West Point,
writes L. K. Becker, in Four-Track
News.
For one moment the pass suficed;
then there was doubt. Inthat moment
Of hesitation the travellers eyes rested
upon coat that one of the men wore,
which he had obtained while a prisoner
not long before, and recognized the
garb Of the Hessian soldiers attached
to the British army, the traveller con-
cluded, hastily, that he had fallen
among friends, instead Of foes. 81 see
you belong to the army down below, as
I do" he remarked, with a slight ges-'
ture of the head toward the river.
Fatal words! they sealed the doom
of Adit. Mai. Gen. John Andre, Of the
British army. Z He was quickly dis
mounted and searched, withoutresult,
and still there was delay. Some latent
sense of required vigilance melted
these humble militiamen to renewed
search Of the travellers person-Wsst
Point was saved.

THE BATTLEFIELD.
Victory In War Will soon De the
Fruit Of Scientific Equipment,
Training and Handling.

It is commonly expressed belief
nowadays that in warfare, SO scientific
has the art become, the courage and
grit Of the individual soldier will not
count for much. Victory, 1t is said,
will be. the fruit of scientific equip
ment, training and handling, and if he
be but scientific enough, trained to a
nicely, and is moved about the battle
field with skill, his personal strength
and nerve and stamina will not need
to be of very high order. This is not
the opinion of Linesman, the author of
swords By an Eyewitness" While
he lays great and unceasing stress up
on the necessity for science and thor
ough training, he just as strongly en-
phasizes the Importance of the morale
of the soldier. In his latest book he
shows how UNNECESSARILY greater is
the strain upon the fighter in modern
warfare than in past days. In former
times armies could maneuver and en-
camp well within sight Of each other.
and an attack often meant nothing
but dash over narrow zone of
ground, short, sharp struggle and a
rout. It was over before the blood
had time to cool, and even the timid
could be excited and sustained by the
rush and fury of the onslaught. To-
day man may die as soon as the en-
emy's long guns, hidden away in the
distant, cloud-topped mountains, seven
miles off, begin to talk. And over that
seven miles he must wallwith caution,
with q wide interval between him and
his pal on either hand.
