Resorts Are Raided and Many Foreign- ' ers Placed Under Arrest. All the known gambling houses in Paris were closed at the outset of the war, but the prolongation of hostilities has proven-too much for the patience of sporting people, and an occasional clandestine resort is now found. One was raided the other evening in the Rue Chateadum where 19 women and four men were found around gambi- ing tables, all of them foreigners. In certain quarters of Montmarte and in the Latin quarter it Is also possible to overlap the regulations of martial law regarding the sale of wines and liquors after the hour of 10.80. Another result of 'the long tension upon people 'habituated to pleasures of & more or less disorderly character is the growth of pretty gam- bling--now taking larger proportions --in the cafes of Montmarte and the Latin quarter.

A Successful General Must be the Most Versatile Man in the World. When the man in the street talks of a general commanding an army he generally sends him up as a 'good soldier," and fancies he has said all that need be said about the distin- guished officer. As a matter of dry fact, he has said nothing at all about the general, What the man in the street means by a "good soldier" means very little to the general, for to be a good soldier, i.e., to lead armed men, is about the last thing necessary to a modern com- mander. He has to be, of course, an expert in military methods in strategy, which means the art of handling forces ab a distance from the enemy, and tactics, which means the art of handling that force when in actual touch with the enemy, and he must know military routine from A: to Z. But that is only the cap of his knowledge. For instance, he must know quite a lot about the comparative values of food, not only because he must keep his army well fed, but because he has to carry with him the minimum quan- tity to keep his moving army in a state fo efficiency. He has to know how many horsés can pull how many wagons of this food, and how many miles they can pull them. He has even-to compute how much forage those horses will require, and what! will be their daily rate of progress. Carrying Ammunition. In the same way he is a cartage ex- pert, who knows that ib is not how much ammunition his army can fire off, but how much ammunition ib can carry that counts in the actual battle, and he must know which will be the easiest ammunition to carry, and the special circumstances of its carrriage. Thus, if he is to assault fortifications, he will not: carry shrapnel, which is of great use against advancing infan- try, but avails little against concrete bastions, and if he is to face only at- EE a oh ouble himself much. gh ex- -- shell, which is used mainly against fortifications. He 'must also know about the en- durafice limit of every regiment he employs, recognizing whic! 'stand the hard well-handled bombardment ab the right moment may do more to win the fight for him than a whole day's shelling. All this is knowledge bearing imme- diately on battles. He must possess an immense amount of varied knowl edge that will enable him to take his: army at the pitch of its efficiency into batle. Must be Jack-of-All-Trades. To this end he has to know some- thing about surveying, engineering, bridge-building, road-making, rails road-laying, telegraphy, fortifications, mining, the manufacture and applica- tion of high-power explosives, trench. turning, sanitation, camp, town and barrack planning, plumbing, cooking; camp range making, store-keeping, ballooning, aeroplaning, rough medi- cine, first aid, rough surgery, sveterin- Lary, farriery, smith-work, lathe-turn: ing, small-arm making, field gun re- pairing, and a host of other crafbsand... industries. He has experts to help him, naturally, but he must know something of these things if he is to guide and take advantage of experts. And when he hag fought his battles and defeated his foe he must be an ex- pert in both military and international law, and he must be a good diseipli- narian and a good diplomat, boo, for he has to see that he and his country are not over-reached by the diplo- matic skill of their adversary. And, above all, he has to be a hu- man individual, and not a highly-skill- ed machine, so as to overcome the hu- man element if the composition of his enemy, no less than to be humane in victory. -------------------- His Alibi. An agent, approaching a house, met a little"boy at the garden gate and asked: "Is your mother home?" "Yes, sir," said the boy, politely. The agent walked across the long lawn and, after rapping several times without recelving an answer return- ed to the youth, saying: "I thought you said your mother was at home." "Yes, sir, she is," replied the boy. "But 1 have rapped several times without receiving an answer?" ¢ "That may be sir," said the boy. "I don't live there." bi NS When it. Came to That.
