BAGGAGE OF A GENERAL
 DOESN'T SHOW HIS WORTH

It may be laid down os military exiom that generals ability is not measured by the amount of baggage he takes to war says the Washing ton Star It is said that when Gen Sir John French embarked to take command Of the British forces now fighting with Che French against the Germans in northern France all the baggage he took with him was con, tained in 8 single suit case.
 When Stouewall Jackson started out on a campaign he took along no per sonal baggage except a withereo car petbag of ancient pattern, and even this modest receptacle was but halt filled
 Contrariwise, when Napoieon lll., emperor of France, left Paris in lStO to take command of the armies, which he said. were going straight to Ser lin. he took along 4S trunks, besides a most yoluminous kitchen and bed- room equipage. The Germans got ey- cry scrap of it an at Sedan.
