SIR JOHN FRENCH,
LOVED BY BRIT0NS,
GREAT WAR CHIEF
Career of British Army
Chief in France Marked
by Success His Cam
paigns in South Africa.

L"Frsnch \ predestincd name. The glor!-
Gus soldier the most eminent and most popular
Of English leaders OF armies. has been placed,
as everybody in England foresaw and every
body in our army wished at the head OF the
admirable troops who are to cooperate in the
cause OF r!ght."-Paris FIgaro.l
His full name and title is Field Marshal
Sir John Denton Pinkstone French. but
to British soldier boys he is known as
"Jacky' French, the greatest of modern
cavalry leaders.
The navy was his hrst love. The son
Of a naval captain. it was natural that
he should first turn towards his fathers
branch OF the service, and for four years
he served as midshipman and naval cadet
before Joining the army.
II was this fact which gave rise to an
amusing incident which occurred when
some naval officers, who were dining with
some soldiers, attempted a little chaf
al the expense Of the latter you
haven't got a single leader worth a cent
contended the officers, with the eXcep-
tion Of French, and he is a sailor"
Yes, retored the infantrymen, me was
in the navy Just Ions enough TO see
what a rotten service 1t was. Then he
chucked it and went into the militia
where he learnt to be what he is now"
Certainly. as a young man Sir John
hankered for soldering, Says one who
knew him in the navy You invariably
found him studying the lives of Yelling
ron, Napoleon, and the heroes of the
Indian muntiny, and I was not surprised
when he LETT us to enter the Eighth
Hussars"
Ultimately, Sir John was transferred TO
the 18th Hussars, in which regiment he
served in the soudan campaign and won
his spurs. That solder-saint, General
Gordon, was locked up in Khartoum, and
French who had been promoted TO the
rank Of major, was one of the camel
corps which made a desperate dash
across the Bayuda Desert in connection
with the tardily dispatched relief eXpe-
dit.ou. AT Abu Klea they fought a des-
perate action with the Arabs, but all in
vain, for when they reached Khartoum
they found that the flag was no longer
flying and that Gordon was dead.
II was during the South African War
however, that General French proved
his genius as a cavalry leader. Perhaps

was paid by the enemy, De Wet. who
thought highly Of British soldiers, but
segrued our officers. But when General
EreuChs name was mentioned 10 the
great Boer leader he Immediately
changed his tone, declaring enthusiastic
Cally, All he is the one Boer General in

French went right through the Boef
campaign, and was perhaps the only
general whose work was consistently sue
C=ssful 10 the end. He landed In Cape
Town the day before the storm broke
October 10, 1888. and he left for England
on June g. 1902 after achievements which
stamped him as the greatest cavalry

This is from a recent novel called
The Duchess OF WreXe":
May Eversley had once said to
her:
Sit down and see, without any
exaggeration or false coloring, what
you've got. Take away, ruthlessly
everything that you imagine you
would like to have, but are not con-
fident of securing.
See what's happened to you in
the past-take away, ruthlessly, any
sentimental repentances or sloppy re.
grets, but learn quite resolutely from
your mistakes.
That was not written apropos any
financial program, but was intended
as a guide in emotional crises And
yet how perfectly it fits into the gos'
pei of material well-being as we know
it ought to be preached today!
1t is courage that we need most Of
all-the courage to face our exac
financial situation.
Lacking this courage, we build or
crumbling foundations of hope. Mex
year, we're positive-positive? Well
not quite positive, but hopeful, thai
we're going to get a raise OF wage!
or salary-then we'll begin to pu
something aside.
Lacking this courage, we refuse tt
think OF the actual selling price o
the lot we bought two years ago wher
the smooth-tongued agent came to tel
us what wonderful things were to b'
done in that suburb we refuse t.
mark down from $500 to SO th'
| tongued salesman unloaded on US
we persist in believing that the min
is going to turn out a big winner
1t is this lack of courage whicl
gets us into the final mess, out o
which we do not emerge except a
the cost of great pain to ourselve
and our families.
II you are of the clear-heade
tribe, try to determine how closel
you are adhering to the advice c
May Eversley. If you suspect tina
you're still somewhat cloudy an
muddled concerning your financit
status, try applying that recipe; an
