WHAT STEAM YACHTS COST.
Amazing Figures That Represent tn
 Purchase and Maintenance.

Twenty-Five dollars an hour seems big amount to pay for ones pleas ure, but with the millionaire ex- pense is of no consideration where his comfort is concerned. He has taken to yacht with zeal that is increasing every year, and his hoat- ing home is a marvel of beauty-his supreme luxury" as 1t is well styled by Captain James Ceiling Sum- mers in an article in the current Broadway Magazine.
 There are registered in the United States, says Captain Summers, over twelve hundred sea-going steam yachts, representing. approximately $60, ,000, ,000. Of these, more than three hundred fly the nag of the New York Yacht Club. Others steam un- der the colors of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Marblehead or the Atlantic Yacht or smaller clubs. There are more steam yachts registered in this country than in England or France or Germany.
 Probably not one of the dozen big steam yachts in the New York Yacht club fleet cost to build and equip ess than half a million. But the cost of maintenance is quite another story. No one knows, of course, just how much it costs MT. Morgan to keep the Corsair going. But if such yacht. for example, carrying crew of sixty men, Is kept in com mission for six months out of the twelve. the pay roll will run close to thirty thousand dollars. To feed the crew, to pay for coal and oil, for docking and other necessary expen- ses. will call for an expenditure of from thirty to forty thousand dollars or more. Then there is the expense of entertaining the owner. his family and his guests on the cruise. matter of twenty thousand dollars, bring ing the total cost per season very near the hundred thousand mark. Never in all history was another such costly and luxurious vehicle. Any ore of dozen American yachts HOW skimming the the seven seas is cost ing it's owner from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars a month. This means an outlay running from five hundred to seven hundred dollars day, or approximately twenty-five dollars an hour. If the owner is entertaining a party of eight persons on a foreign cruise, exactly seventy dollars a day or $5.600 dollars per cruise is spent on each individual guest.

Our attention is directed to a noticeable
trait in this waning OF NapoleOns powers.
namely, not merely the failure to rely on
facts as he had formerly done. but the
absolute perversion OF facts to which he
resOrted. Writing to Prince Eugene in
1913. a few weeks after leaving Russia, he
misrepresented egregiously the truth about
the disastrous campaign. He himself said
Of his proclamatiOns: 1T was charlatanism.
but of the highest art Our author points
out that some of Napoleon's purely military
habits which AZ first were followed by ex-
cellent results became fatal In their con-
sequences when they were accompanied
with a decay OF the leaders best qualities.
Such was the habit OF 0vsrstating his own
force and undertaking the enemy's in order
TO encourage his soldiers to greater efforts.
Il was maxim OF his that 'one must exag-
gerate his own forces and represent them
as terrible by doubling or trebling their
number. and when one speaks Of the
enemy one must diminish his strength by a
half or third The practice worked well
for a while. but il ended by deceiving his
lieutenants instead Of his opponents.
An interesting feature Of the book before
US is the comparison of Napoleon with other
great captains. In Frederick the Great
our author recognized a man OF higher
standards than Napoleon reached. Not
merely because Frederick was OF all the
captains the only one who. with vastly
smaller forces. defeated troops equal in
quality TO his Own-not only because. in
other words. he was the typical tactician.
the typical hghter-but also because ne was
steadfast in victory and defeat alike: be-

All Of Jomini's works on the art Of war
were successful. In his -Traite des Grandes
Operations" he uses the campaigns of Fred
erick "a a basis for the formulation Of
rules In the -Guerres de Ia Revolution"
ne uses those Of BOnaparte and other Gen.
erals for the same purpose. Some Of the
rules propOunded by Jomini now seem alb
surdly simple and familiar. but H. IL not to
be forgotten that he first laid them down.
The foundation rule Of his system is TO
Operate with the utmost mass Of ones
forces upon the decisive point" To do this
a commander must anticipate his oppon-
ent with the initiative Of his own move
ment. Initiative in operations is shown by
JOmini to be Of the greatest Importance
IL is the only means Of being stronger at
the most important point in the theatre Of
war and OF reducing a great part Of the
enemy 3 troops to a useless role. As Jomini
usually draws his rules from the campaigns
OF Frederick and Napoleon. the great mas
ters OF initiative, and states them with a
singular power Of classification and felicity
Of treatment, as well as with extreme ac-
curacy, he must be looked upon as the
greatest exponent Of military science He
has been called a more diagrammatist,
but Col Dodge points out that his diagrams
have educated three generations Of soldiers
and that his rules are applicable to all
situations. especially when battle is sought.
whereas BulOw's can be followed only once
in a great while. Although. however,
.Jomini's book must on the whole be ac-
knovledged as the most precious source
for our knowledge OF military science. It
does not cover the whole scheme Of war,
for It does not adequately appreciate the
value Of topography. the protection of base
and communication, or the importance of
operations against the enemys communica-
tions. Moreover. he soeDs not tc Perceiys
that sometimes the best results may be
attained by avoiding battle.
