In the "American Magazine" Prof.
Charles Downer Hasea tells some
ludicrous Incidents of the FrancoPrussian
war, describing a document
that Is a modern curiosity:
"Cohesion was lacking, as were number*,"
he says. "Many generals were
sent to command troops with which
they were entirely unacquainted.
"Not onl> soldiers, bat sometimes
Cera is went astrsy, unable to And
ir places. 'Have arrived at Bel*
fort,' telegraphed General Michel on
/illy 21, 'can't And my brigade; can't
And the general of the division. What
shall I doT Don't know where my
regiments are.' This document la probably
unique In military records. Another
general hunted for his artillery
staff; another for a oavalry corps
which did not exist,"
