ers. Most OF the woes incident TO
unsatisfactory results OF military
campaigns are directly traceable TO
the fatal interference OF meddlesome
civilians with the military arm OF
service during their progress. No
soldier in history handicapped by his
home government or its civilian
boards Of safety or strategy has ever
been able to accomplish notable sue
cess, whereas military commanders
given a free hand In conducting cam.
paigns always have been eminently
successful. Napoleon would not be
known TO history but for the fact tina,
he refused to SUBMIT to the orders Of
his government. or its civilian strate-
gists. Grant would have been defeat

would never have destroyed the
Spanish ships at Manila in the alb

the cable and forestalling orders from
Washington TO refrain from that
harmless sport. Subordination Of
military to civil authority in time OF
war is little less disastrous to a coun.
