LEADING GENERALS
ARE ELDERLY MEN
Chief Officers of COntending
Forces Are of Ripe Years
and Experience.

when General Grant came promi-
nently to the front in 1868 by his capt
ure of Vicksburg he was forty-one
wears old Meade, the victor of Gettys-
burg. was at the same time forty-eight,
Sherman was forty-three and Sheridan
was thirty-two years old. When Stone
wall Jackson was killed in that same
wear he was but thirty and when
Mcclellan was placed in command of
the Union forces in 1861 he was only
thirty-five.
These ages are interesting because
they are in such striking contrast with
the advanced years Of the men who are
in command OF the armies now battling
in Europe. On the German side General
Won Emmich, the captor of Liege, is
sixty-six. and General Won Kluck is
sixty-eight. General Won Hansen. who
recently gave up the command OF the
Saxon army, is siXty-eight; General
Won Heeringen is siXty-four; General
Won Einem GiXty-one and General Won
Buelow sixty-eight. General vcn Moltke,
chief of the German General staff,
is sixty-six and General Won Hinder
burg, who is III command in East Prus-
STA. is sixty-Seven. Nearly all these
officers took part in the Franco Prus-
sian War of 1870. On the Alliess side
Earl Kitchener is siXty-four, Smith
Dorrien tifty-siX and Sir John French
sixty-two. The three French generals,
Pau, Joffre and Gallieni, are all ap-
preaching seventy.
From this statement of years it is
easy 10 infer that modern warfare de-
mands in generals mature judgment
and experience rather than the super
abundant energy and high personal
courage that were supposed to be the
distinguishing marks of the oldtime
warrior. The commander OF the pres
ent day. seated at headquarters, miles
from the scene OF action and receiving
from his subordinates reports by wire
less, by telegraph or by telephone, Is
more likely to be white haired old
man possessed Of great knowledge OF
the art OF war, and reSourceful and
Imaginative, but possibly deficient in
physical vigor. rather than comman-
der of the type of Napoleon, or Han
nibal. or Alexander the Great, and other
youthful military prodlgles OF their
day.

THE BARNARD SCHOOL FOR BOYS

On Monday preceding Election Day
the boys of the Barnard School, at
Fieldston, went through the form of
electing state officers. Party feeling
ran high, and after a spirited canvas
the boys anticipated through their bal
lots the election of Mr.. Whitman by
several hours.
During the meeting that was held
Mr.. Hazen, the head master, pointed
out the peculiar conditions Of the
American school system as compared
with the conditions existing under the
systems of other nations. He explained
how conditions as they exist here were
so admirably fitted to train young
Americans for citizenship under a gov
eminent so distinctly American.
On Fidpy the Rev. DR.. William y.

THE SUBTLE ART OF LIP READING

Centuries ago John Bulwer com

In all the years following one person
and another has added his word and
work to the advancement cf this art -
an art requiring the practice Of the

with the reward of virtue in good
measure.
"The study Of lip language should
be undertaken by all hard of-hearing
persons. The relief in ear strain is
almost Immediately noticeable. Il
works in exactly the same manner as
do glasses when prescribed for eye
strain. Il helps the deaf person to

at is difficult" said Howard W. Nudd
of the Public Education Association, TO
representative Of The Tribune, TO
understand why the reappointment Of
Mr.. IIcrvcy to the Board Of Examiners
is dependent upon an opinion from
the Corporation Counsel as TO the ne
cessity Of choosing some one from

the Board Of Education is dlssatlshed
with the services Of Mr.. Hervey and
wishes 10 appoint some on IN his place.
In view Of the fact that no such state

seems to be little point in the atti-

ar there arc any doubts in the
minds of the members Of the Board OF

the fitness of any particular man TOT

brought out, in order that no cloud

is to be made from fresh list, Mr.
Hervey would automatically come at

SOCIAL AT THE 4. ALBERT SAATO
ACADEMY

A Halloween dancing party was
given by Miss Ernestine Piez on 0cto-
Der 81 at the A. Albert Saato Acad-
envy, S6th and S7th SITS. and Broadway.
Thirty couples enjoyed the dancing.
The Wednesday evening social
classes for the season of 19l4-15 will
begin November II. Professor Saato,
assisted by his partner, Miss Foster,
will give an exhibition of the lulu
fado, polka tango, tango waltz, sim
plifed tango, Brazilian polka and the
popular fox trot, on the opening
evening.
The enrolment for both private and
social classes far exceeds that OF last
wear. If Professor Saato's success
may be taken as standard of meas
ure, dancing bids fair TO enjoy an
even greater popularity this year than
was the case last year.
