THE MAXIMS OF NAPOLEON

notes 10y General Burned. At the present time they make very inter.
eting rcading-when We apply them To the tactics which General
Foch has been using in hs recent drive. Foch, b. the way, is an
ardent admirrr of Napoleon.
"Of all obstacles to the march of an army. said the great Corsi.
can, the most difficult To overcome - the desert mountains come
next, and broad rivers occupy the third place.
Again he SAYS Retreat costs more men and material than The
most bloody engagement. with this difference. that in a battle the
enemy 5 loss is nearly equal To your own. whereas in a retreat the loss
Is on your side only. The opinion of Herr Ludendorff on this obser-
walton might be Interesting
The strength Of am army. like the power in mechanics. is c,ti.
mated by multiplying the mass by the rapidty - This
calls to mind the saying of Frederick the Great that all wars should
be short and rapid.
In mountain warfare, the aSNalant has always the advantage -
In a retreat, the loss of life soften greater than in two battles. 80
Never attack a position III front which you can gain by turn
ing
Napoleon would certainly congratulate General Foch ON his rec.
cnt Marine campaign. Tor he says. "Thc transition from the defensive
Charges of cavalry should he made always, il possible, ON the
flankS Of infantry.
"A good general, a well organized system. good instruction, and
severe discipline will always make good troops, Independently of the
cause for which they fight 80 This seems To be- rather a German idea.
THE first qualification of a soldier is fortitude, under fatigue
and privation; courage is only the second. Hardship, poverty and
want are the best school for a soldier
Tents are miayorable to health. Tho soldier is hest when he

dries the ground on which he lies. 80
Nothing is so important in war ms an undivided command.
Information obtained from prisoners should be received with
caution. \ soldier seldom sees anything beyond his company
Councils of war and long discussions usually terminate in The
adoption of the worst course
Never do what the enemy wishes yOu To do
A general Of ordinary talon, occupying a bad position, and sur.
prused by a superior force, seeks safety IN retreat; but a great captain
supplies all deficiencies by his courage, and marches boldly to meet
the attack.

has learned his state as only the range Stockman
can learn It's broad areas, by personal contact with
the land in all sections. He is a competent judge
OF land and land values. He has won his way to

his ranches, which he owns, and IN doing il he has
won the absolute confidence of the Stockmen, bust

1t Is vitality Important That New Mexico Continue
A Strong, Conservative Administration of Its Lands

n Jew MEXICO'S total income from it's state
lands ~ the last fiscal year was 81, 100000.
Approximately S66O.000 of this was available
for aud was actually used in current maintenance
expenses of the public schools and state educational
and penal institutions. II is manifcstly impossible
for New Mexico 10 reduce cost of educational
maintenance. We should be spending more money
for our school establishment. But the tax burden
Is already heavy. II cannot he greatly increased.
Additional funds for the school maintenance must
rome from the state lands. It is necessary, there
fore, That the kind Of state land policy and the
KIND of state land management which has produced
Hn increase IN income OF II million dollars annually,
during the pas, ten years, be maintained. This $3.50.
600 OF income funds available last year mean just
that much taken of the shoulders Of the taxpayers.
II is perfectly clear that the state land income is of
tremendous Importance in the states annual cX-
prnse budget and that II is of direct interest 10
every taxpayer as we'll as 10 every parent.
The state still owns approximately lO,0OO,OO0
acres of ITS original land grants OF l2,Jl9,OOO acres.
Practically every acre of this ten million is now
under some form of lease which is producing steadN
income for the state-dircct revenue. The farmers
and Stockmcn who use this land also produce, IN
directly, a very large additional income for the
state, and add tremendously 10 its prosperity
through the taxes they pay, the labor they employ
and the wealth they create.
These results i'm state land management have
been produced by the adoption of q broad, liberal
policy which fosters our major industries while
thoroughly protecting the interests of the state;
coupled with an administration which has been
constructive, energetic and conspicuously fair in all
its dealings with the thousands of state land users.
II is manifestly of the utmost importance to
this state and its people that the integrity and eff
cheney of the stare land administration be main
tanned at the highest standard. Administering the
state lands is a business man. job. In considcra-
ton of candidates for the office of land commits

from partisan prejudice and influence. II is a bust

with the pocket book of every taxpayer and the
interest OF every father and mother who has a child

should vote for the man who in our good, sound
judgment is best qualified for the job.

for land commissioners, was before the people two
years ago as a candidate for the office, and was

DUBLIN, May 21.--Dublin today is
outwardly still very calm, though the
streets are thronged with men dis
cussing the blow which fell upon the
Sim Fein organization when more
than hundred of the leaders were
arrested.
1t is evident that the government
made a clean sweep of the rebel lead
ers i'll every community. 1t seems
the svoop left the Sim Feiners guild
less and uncertain what action to take
next.
The interior of Ireland is calm.
Evening papers published here de-
mand that the government produce
proof of its German claims and de-
clare that the government announced
discovery of the alleged plot stimuli
taneously with the visit of the Amer
lean labor delegates, so as to blaeken
ireland in the eyes of the Americans.
The anti-conscription gund, it
learned today, now totals nearly a
