Cross Track H. B. Harris, Prop. knowledge, but character. If I were looking for a commander-in-chief 1 should search above all for a man of high purpose, who, I could be sure, would think only of his duty, only of his country and never of himself. In war more than in any other of the af fairs of life, the saying holds good, "If thine eye be single thy whole body shall bo full of light." I think that Grant as a general and as com mander of the armies in the Civil War had the single eye and he had a re markably strong character. Sherman before setting off for Atlanta spent an evening in conversation with an in timate friend, one of his best cavalry generals, who reports that late at night they talked a little about Grant. Afer a pause, Sherman, looknig in the fire, said: "I know a lot more about history and law and war than Grant does, but I'll tell you where he beats me and where he beats the lot of us. He doesn't care a damn for what he can't see the enemy doing and it scares me like hell." Sherman was a 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 liberal eduction and which give to those who know him the impression of a man of larger than tho common mold. Nothing is more fatal in war than the appoint ment of generals for any other reason than their capacity for generalship. Mom battles have been lost by the ap pointment of commanders for political or personal reasons than from any other single cause. The knowledge of war comes only in the third place be cause this can be suppemented for the commander by others, while char acter cannot. The knowledge of Trar acquired by the method laid down by Napoleon must be possessed by the commander's principal assistant, whose title in European armies, is either quartermaster general or chief of the general staff. This officer's function is to relieve the commander of tho burden of infinite details, which, if they absorb him, are apt to weaken his grip on the whole.
