great Importance TO the country and to

H. a. Burrell in Washington Press.
Does not the memory OF your mill
tary reading during the war, and still
more thoughtful and dispassionate
reading Of the military memoirs, es-
pecially such books as those OF Dana,
Lew Wallace, Carl Schurz, confirm
the impression you felt all along and
now, that most of the northern gem
erals, being volunteers, were anna
tours; that war was not second ma
ture to more than half of half
dozen of the commanders; that there
was an awful unnecessary sacrifice of
lives and money? Now, as of old, the
people perish from the lack
of knowledge If Napoleon. or
Frederick, had had our equip
ment here in the north. he would
have smashed the confederacy in six
months, perhaps In Stewards ninety

six weeks when he was a mere kid
of twenty-six years. but, then, the
