GHOST OF SKoRELEFF LEADS
RUSSIAN FORCES TO BATTLE
From the London Globe,

from the IOnQOn SlODSs
Some Russian soldiers have declared
they saw the figure Of Skobeleff on his
white horse, leading their forces, as OF
old, into battle. To those who know The
profound impression that wonderful man
made on the Slavonic mind there Is no
improbability In u a suggestion. Drawn
so largely from q primitive peasantry, the
vast host marshaled by the car must
contain multitudes whose childlike imag-
nations are quite capable of conJurinB up
their legendary hero in visible form once
more, warding off defeat and pointing 70
victory. Even with the less simple there
a fighter at their head In that great strug-
gle he predicted o happen, n In
which be would so dearly have loved TO
play his part.
It was while the Russo-Turkish war Of
1877 was raging that, from the midst or
official Incompetence and corrupt faVor-
itism, skobeleff emerged as the magi-
clan to whose wand victory wa ever ODE
dent: Entirely by his own merits, with
out the advantage of tlustrious birth, and
against the opposition of a .:~prejudiced
before he was IS. After the fall Of Pievns,
his rapid passage OF the Balkans In mid
winter brought about the surrender or
Turkeys last army in the field and this
was speedily followed by the capture OF
Adrianople. He was already at the gates
Of Constantinople when Lord B~eaconsfield
interviewed to prevent IT'S occupation, n
In the Berlin treaty that ensued Skobeleff
ever professed to sec the seeds of the har-
vest we are gathering today.
AS a soldier he created among his men
an enthusiasm for his leadership compare
BILE only to that won by Napoleon himself.
A strict disciplinarian, visiting any breach
of commands with merciless severity. he
was the friend and companion OF every
rank, q comIade who shared their priva-
tons, fed from their camp lots and mer-
rily chaffed one and all.
He did not know the sensation or fear,
and faced the utmost dangers with cool
contempt. Yet always he bore a charmed
life. Horses were killed beneath him, his
staff fell shot at his side, his sword was
broken In his hand, but no missile ever
found In him its billet. The story grew
in the army that he could not be wounded,
and some were found to declare they were
hit by bullets that could only have passed
through him first. It was facts n fables
like these, losing nothing in the telling,
that made him the darling Of the Russian
people.

Military Graft Universal.

From the Springfield Republican.
e. While particular allegations OF graft In
connection with war purchases may be
exaggerated or u~nfounded, 1t may be q X
en- for granted that fraud is being prac-
ticed on an enormous scale, because that
Is an almost i~nvariaLle feature OF war.
Germany, by it's thorough preparation In
advance. may be an exception, yet II Is
but a short time since Germany was agi-
Krupps. BY its immense armaments.
however, II has avoided the extortion and
fraud suffered by countries which have
to prepare after war begins. Nor Is 1t
wholly the supplies purchased abroad
which cause trouble; business too often
gets the better Of patriotism, In our clviI
war the arming, clothing and feeding OF
the troops was q sorry scandal-paper
sUles, shoddy blankets, condemned army
muskets, and junk Of all kinds sold at
fancy prices were a bitter jest In the
founded In trade Of that sort, and the
frauds practiced in our Spanish war, the
Boer war, and Russia's war with Japan
are still fresh in mind. Graft was largely
responsible for the bad showing made by
the Turkish army in 1912. 1t IL often said
that democracy shows at its worst In war
time, yet in this respect there seems lit
tie difference between democracy and
despotism; the rapidly OF ~bureaucrats
may equal that of army contractors. Not
even militarism Is immune, as the scan
democracy can best strengthen itself for
an emergency by dealing with u~nfiinching
severity with citizens who defraud the
government. If every dishonest contrac-
tor were sent to the trenches business
morals would quickly improve. r.

The Way to Success.

Elizabeth Towne In March Nautilus.
The first thing to do II you really
want to get out Of q hole is to stand
still and take a good look at the hole.
Stop and remember that you got your
self into the hole. and II you had power
to get into 1t you can certainly muster
up wit enough to get out. Be stil and
examine with interest every detail Of
your hole, your daily life and happt-
ness. See IL there are not little ways
in which to improve things. Make up
your mind that there Is a way out and
that you will muster up patience and
interest and gumption enough to find
1t, and that you will grow brighter and
wiser and more powerful by doing It.
Look at your circumstances, instead
OF over them. Time enough to look at
what's outside the hole after you have
got out.
Get interested in doing what you
car do. instead OF fussing away your
energy on what you can't do.
Make every motion OF thought or
body tell for self development In wis
dom, grace, good feeling. accuracy of
movement and thought. Make every
action help toward the formation of
desirable habits OF body, thought and
feeling.
And remember always that desirable
habits can be formed in any environ
ment, habits which will ut you for a
better environment and which will at
tract It.
It Is not what you do, but how you
do 1t, that builds character and en-
vironment to match. II you can't get
u Of the hole just now. o can build
character within 1t, which will event
ualiy take you out OF 1t ,

White Man and Red,

TOIH luo hl1duClD1Id LCuB0.
Francis Leupp, who knows the Indian
well, warns US against the unfortunate as
sumption that the Indian Is a white man
with a red skin. Nevertheless, the Indian
deserves white treatment, and he does
not always get It, by any means.
II there is any man in the military arm
of the government who can be trusted to
find the ommon dominator between Pluto
Indian outlawry and civilized processes, 1t
Is Brigadier Genera Hugh L. Scott, chief
Of the staff Of the army. He talks-and
thinks-their dialect, he knows their ways,
and his purpose is to go among them vir-
tually unattended and speak to them as q
father to rebellious children, II not a.
man to men.
That is Just the way Cecil Rhodes
brought about an amicable understanding
between the overheated folk of Matabele-
land and he people at the cape. Armed
with no weapo but his riding whip, &C
companied only by his intrepid sister, he
no~nchalantly went to them as though it
were q vacation excursion, n returned
from their bristling highlands with his
mission Of amity accomplished.
Or one might revert to the august ex-
ample OF William Penn beneath the
ShGckamaxon treaty tree entering into
that compact which, to cite Voltaire, was
never sworn to n never broken" Even
among primitive peoples, or perhaps II
were better to say especially among primi-
tive peoples, the value Of a mans word Is
recognized, and an oral pledge Is hon
ored. The world has lately had examples
enough Of the sophisticated casuistries
that seek to justify the c~ontemptuous dis
Scott 10 one of those who have faith in
the elemental appeal of honest dealing,
the direct give-and-take of outspokenness
without the nttrtbution OF sinister motives
and that kind OF faith in the long run
prevails, rather han q policy of wiles and
.chicanery and what often passes for bril-
liant diplomacy.
