exactness some Of his views on the

of the world, The professor Of war
did not glorify war, any more than
the great surgeon glorifies disease.
He simply urged his belief that when
a nation Ia compelled to fight 1t
should fight as intelligently as pos
slble.
He talked about Grant and Lin
coin and about the relation OF the
bullet to the, soldiers soul
He told why Il is more important
for the commander to have charac-
tor than to have genius. II.
He mentioned Napoleon, Prince
Hohenlche and the private In the

All these things in the Hight Of Am

should do,
And he consented that the inter
view thus given should be made into

readers. The first Of these, under
his name. will appear tomorrow.
