ican ttftity officers owe the detailed
ritudy they nre aide to tnnko ot tho
trdotfl iuttroinoiitn in Ik'lKlnni nnd
France nnd to some extent, upon the
Aimlrlnii-KuBHlan, nnd Germnn-UuB-
slun frontier. When despatches
rIvo tho nantoa of vUlaRcs around

poswlblo to turn to these maps nnd see
nt n Klnuce the chnrncter of tho coun

tails of their construction and even
to note tho nnluru of the soil on
slopes wliero the inpu will have to
"(11k In" to withstand tho storm or
rifle, ninchlnc-Run nud field-piece
fire.
There nro yet no such maps of
this country. Tho European maps

General Froin't. tin

Willi such maps nt his disposal n
ronunnndcr can be far in the rear of
his long battle lino and yet know
from moment to moment tho exact
nature of obstnncles in any portion
of the front ho is facing. Ho could
direct the places of entrenchment
to within a few yards of any small
detail or battery of gun a and could
order forward his heavy artillery
along a certain rond with entire con
iiucnro ttiat tho road would carry
tho huge weight. There is no trail
or bypath, ditch or stone fence that
is not shown.
For nearly fifteen years the I'nlted
States army has been struggling In
a modest way to supplement its maps
of this country o they could offer,
to a very modest degree at least, tho
aid to military operations which Eu
ropean commanders have at hand.
Tho progress of fifteen years on
the hugs "task is described by army
officers as "insignificant," outsido
of Its educational value.

LONDON, Nov 20. Society wom
en nro hogging tho authorities for
permission to go to the front ns
nurses. In many cases tho ijunllfl
rations ot thu applicant nro sinnll,
but sho regards being a Hud Cross
nurse as romantic and fascinating and
would go without thinking of the ser
ious side of tho matter.
"Affectlottal and emotional nurs
ing," is the way Sir James Crlchton
llrowne described It In an address be
fore tho Kensington District Nurs
ing association. "There is a good
deal of spurious uurslmr about this
time," ho went on to say. "I heard
tho othor day or a fashionable lady
who called on a matron at a provin
cial hifspltal and said: 'I wish to
have a week's training as a nurse on
any terms you like, uut I cannot
give more than n week to It, for 1
want to go to the front.'
"That sort or thing." fald Sir
James, "Is highly reprehensible, for
in no branch of nursing is cousu
mate skill required more than in the
management of wounds and the
wounded. Tor half-baked nmnteurs
to meddle in such matters Is to en
danger life nnd limb."

PKTItOGItAD. Nov. 20 The dis
pute respecting the disposition of the I
most important manuscripts of Count
Tolstoi, the novelist, has at length
been decided by tho court of Final
Instance In favor of tho widowed
Countess. The manuscripts of these
earlier works, upon which the writer's
true fame is bused, wero given In
Tolstoi's lifetime to his wife, who, de
posited them, witli ptber relics, in the
.Moscow Historical Museum.
Tho unfortunate wording of Tol
tol's will led tho daughter to at
tempt to secure these gifts to Count
ess Tolstoi as a part of tho novel
ist's estate, wlille tho countess, also
fearing to lose them, endeavored to
recover them from the Historical
MiiFeum, which, pending a settle
ment of tho dispute, refused to hand
them over to either party. It hns
now been decided that they may bo
returned to the widowed counters as
her property.
