AMERICAS $ PART IN WORLD'S
 WAR
(By United Press)

LONDON, July 10.-(By MaiD-In my judgment the important matters for a nation going into war are these: First of all the statesmen and the peo- pie should have a true conception of the nature of war and of the charac- ter of the particular war they are talk ing up. Otherwise the leading can not be right. The supreme leader is always the statesmen and in a demo- cratic country the people must under stand and sympathize with the states men. If he sees too far ahead they won't follow, and if the popular ideas on the subject of war are not tue the greatest leader may be crippled
 In the military sphere the firsc thing is the choice of a commander and his assistants. When raising an army the vital matter is the choice and edu- cation of the officers. In the training of troops all soldiers will say the thing to aim at is discipline, and the best means of giving it, providing the officers have been well chosen and rightly taught, is to teach the sol

bALkS ON H|NkELL'S $
 OFFER

NEW YORK, July 26. - The coun- try is beginning to wonder it Benny Leonard was serious when he announ, ced after winning the lightweight championship from Freddie Welsh he would immediately join some branch of the United States army or navy, and that his fights would be against only the best men in that division.
 Since that announcement Leonard has fought twice - against a "setup" each time He has been matched for an encounter in Philadelphia with Johnny Kilbane, and the fight is to go only six rounds.
 Leonard turned down one of the best offers the country ever heard of for a bout in that class when he he refusd Matt Hinkelrs offer of s25,OOO purse for a fifteen round go in Ohio - and no decision was at. tached to the articles for the bout. Kilbone and his manager had set their signatures to the agreement and were ready to go ahead.
 One of two things happened to Leo nard when he received that offer. He either figured Kilbane far too dan. gerous to battle for fifteen rounds or he decided that fighting six rounds for war of money was more remu- neratice than battling fifteen rounds for a slightly larger wad. The bout in Philadelphia does not promise any thing, and If Leonard does not show at his very best he will be soundly banned The unpopularity of Freddie Welsh and his record of many node. eision alleged fights should be a warning to Leonard. There are many young lightweights aching for a crack at his crown and they would be willing to even take him on |, ten round bouts The fans want that kind Of action not the six round kind, even If fl is with Johnny Xii bane as an antagonist Besides, as was stated, the country wants to know about that enlistment. Leonard probably will find some insistaI.t ques- tioners regarding that when he en- ters the ring at Philadelphia.

diers to shoot and to march.

In war;" said Napoleon, writing to his brother Joseph, "the men are no thing. One man is everything" At the end of his career Napoleon die tated pamphlet which he called Notes on the Art of War" the pur- pose of which was to explain to gov ernments and nations about to go to war how to set about it. He said "the principles of the art of war are those which guided the great cap tains Of the past - Alexander, Hanni. bal, Caesar, Gustavus, Adolphus, Tu- renne, Prince Eugene and Frederick the Great" Reviewing the cam paigns of these commanders, Napoleon pointed out that on all the vital points the practice of them all was the same. He then reviewed his own campaigns and concluded by saying that you should make your war as they made it. and model ourself upon them," for there is no other way of mastering the secrets of war. In other words, "a knowledge of the high parts of war can be obtained only by studying the history of great campaigns and by ex- perience."
 In an army that has passed through a long period of peace experience is necessarily lacking, a knowledge of war is possessed only by those who have studied 1t in the way Napoleon recommended. Such a student was the late Admiral Mahan, of the United States navy. No writer in any coun-

try has shown a stronger grasp of war or better illuminated by his writ tings it's larger aspects, especially in all that concerns maritime war fare.
 My first point is this; Warfare cannot be conducted without know ledge, but in the choice of com mander the first requisite is not know ledge, but character. If were look ing for a commander in chief. l should search above all Or man of high purpose, who l could be sure would think only of his duty. only Of hil country and never of himself Tn war more than in any other of the affairs of life, the saying holds good "Ii thine eye be single thy whole body shall L. full of light
 l think that Grant as a general and as a commander of the armies in the civil war had the single eye, and he had a remarkably strong character sherman before setting off for At ianta spent an evening in converse. ton with an intimate friend, one of his best cavalry generals. who report that late at night they talked a lit tie about Grant After pause. Sher. man, looking in the fire, said: q know a lot more about history and law and war than Grant does. but I'll tell you where he beats me, aud where he beats the lot of us. He does not care damn fer what he can't see the enemy doing and it scares me like he'll"
 sherman was good judge of the Kind of character that a commander in chief requires. In the second place your commander must have that grip of affairs and breadth of view which are generally associated with a lib. eral education and which give to those who know him the impression of a man of larger than the common mould Nothing is more fatal in war than the appointment of generals for any other reason than their capacity for generalship. More battles have been lost by the appointment of com manders for political or personal req sons than from any other single cause The knowledge of war comes only in the third place because this can be supplemented for the commander by others, while character cannot. The knowledge of war acquired by the method laid down by Napoleon must be possessed by the commanders prin- cipai assistant. Whose title in Euro pean armies is either quartermaster general or chief of the general staff The officers function is to relieve the commander in the burden of in finite details, which, if they absorb him,,are apt to weaken his grip on fba. vyhOla
