Show FRANCE'S SOLDIERS. F. McCAW,: The Military Commanders Are All Toe Old. A Watchmaker A tadir Feature at the Arar la the ef the Yaaag a4 IhiltHr A .bitterns ImMalb OIBeere. ! - eteaed One of the features which make the French army eorpe so terrible a weapon Ait at lack, when properly handled, is the large number of noncommissioned officer. who have won minor commissions, uch as and captain, und if their education is faulty they more than atone for it by superb courage. They hope to win their promotion by the aword and not by the book. It in this very clmnt whom Von Molike mid, in 1870. that while they possess no other instruction than that of the bad primary French instruction, and give i vidence of gross ignorance, it was precisely these officers who, for the greater part, strove on the battlefields of France to wash out, at the cost of their Hood, faults for which they were in no As a class, the way responsible. French officers are equal to any officers on the continent up to a certain point. The advanced age of the French military chiefs mnkesit impossible for them to cope with hardship and fatigue. The ctljcers between 28 and 50 are at their very best, and any young man who has thoroughly understood the teaching at St. Cyr might mount a horse and lead an army corps, but the absurd reverence for age makes this an impossibility. In our own day we have seen the of youth magnificent in three departments Kitchener in war, Ilarmsworth in Journalism, and Lasker in chess, all of whom seek to emphasize the great lesson that the coining general must be between the thirties and fortteau The statement that France's commanding generals are between 59 and 65 iealmosta confession of coming defeat. Another fault lies in the tendency of the French officer stationed in Paris to grow fat. The English officer never haa this ridiculous leaning toward embonpoint, but if one were to watch a tiutch of officers enter the frrele Mili-taithose in the forties and fifties rre might entrfly mistake them for in uniform. This argues lack f exercise, and would augur badly for ihe drill of the troops were it not that in France, as in England, the bulk of ibis work depends upon a noncommissioned officers. Luckily for France, her young army officers are in the pink of condition, ready for any emergency, and equal to any demands on their physical and mental systems. The new rules laid down at St. Cyr in 1897 must result in an improvement in the morale of the French commanders of the future. The tyranny of mathematics is abolished, and every effort is to be made to instil into the minds of the students that war Is not so much a science aa an art, which can le best achieved by good sense and inspiration. Gen. Maitlanl, one of the professors of tactics at the Eeoie Superieure de Under the Guerre, says very wisely: pretext thst the progreseof science and industry will be used in the coming fight between the nations, it is proclaimed that the conducting of war must be acientific, and that it will demand high mathematical knowledge. Nothing is more opposed to the spirit of war. The Buie of Three alone, up to the present, hae sufficed, and will suffice, for all problems depending on calculation, but to conduct a war means that the chiefs must have high natural qualities, a professional knowledge which must be constantly advancing, a strong, cultured intelligence, but, above all, the spirit of reflection, of calculationa word, the philosophical spirit."
