Cloudy and chilly days come occa-

season is at its close. What have you
gained from your summer days? Is
your body stronger. your mind fuller

things of life? Are you more human,
moro charitable? Have you a better
understanding of the rights and needs
of men? What memories have you
stored up for future reflection during
the long winter nights?

HOW GREAT WARS ARE WON
II is Very Rarely That Conflicts Are
Victorious Because Of Superior
Valor, Says Writer.

The vulgar idea of war IS that the
victory is won by superior valor or
other moral virtue, writes H. Side
borham in the Atlantic. This, however.
has very rarely been the case; al
most all Western nations, at any rate,
are equally brave, though the valor Of
some excels in obstinacy and endur-
anee and of others in daring and elan.
BY far the commoner causes Of vic
tory and defeat are political or tech
nical.
Sometimes Ito take the domain
of tactics) 1t Is a new weapon that
wins victory on the battlefield, or at
any rate contributes TO the ease with
which il is won; sometimes, as In
the Roman and In Frederick's armies,
IT is superior discipline, greater physi-
cal fitness, and practice in maneuyer
that win the victory More often it
is some new formation of line. Those
tactics commonly succeed best of all
which are both new and adapted to
the genius Of the people using them.
Thus the Beers In the South African
war developed a highly original sys-
TEN of mounted infantry tactics by
simply using their horses in war time
as they did going about their ordinary
business on their wide sheep farms.
and similarly in the American wars
the woodsmen made Ideal skirmishers.

WISH TO CONTROL CEMETERY
Foreigners in Rome Urge Italian Gov
eminent to Take over Burial
Ground Owned by Germany.

War has drawn attention to the fact
that the great Protestant cemetery in
Rome, where are buried many distin-
guished foreigners including the poets,
Keats and Shelley, is the property Of
the German government. and the rent
ais for plots therein are still paid to
German agents.
More than a century ago Prussia
was the only nOn-ROman Catholic pow
% represented at the Vatican. There
fore, it was Prussia which obtained
the concession for a cemetery to be
used for the bodies Of those not Of the
Roman faith, and the property still
remains in the hands of the German
government.
Prominent foreigners now are urging
that the Italian government should
take over the cemetery and place il
under British protection.
