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.
