Nathan Bedford Forrest has been introduced into dis cussion of the war by Gen. Maurice, who quotes, apropos of the present task of the Allies, Gen. Forrest's oft quoted reply to a woman who asked him what was the secret of his suc cess. Gen. Maurice reproduces the epigram as he has heard it and ob serves that although Napoleon did not utter it he acted upon it. Napoleon did say, unless the words have been put in his mouth across his grave, that great generalship consisted in recognizing tho value of five minutes. That, if there is a se cret of generalship which can be ex pressed in words a secret in the form of a plan of action and aside from the magic of the genius of leadership of men, and personal in spiration expressed the policy of Forrest better than the ungrammati cal epigram which tradition has at tributed to him. Gen. Maurice's version of Gen. Forrest's utterance is "I got there flrstest with the mostest men." The New York Times sensibly interposes the objection that this is baby talk rather than the speech of an ill edu cated Tennessean and ventures the assertion that what Forrest said was: "I got thar fust with the most men." A fact of history which both Gen. Maurice and the New York Times overlook; a fact which should not be overlooked because, as it applies to Gen. Forrest at McMinnville and at Murfreesboro and Tishamingo Creek for example and to Gen. Foch in the glorious Battle of the Marne in 1914, is that getting there first with the most men is not the secret of generalship. If it were, war would be robbed of its only really romantic aspect and reduced to utter sordid ness. The Germans would have reached Paris in 1914 if superiority of numbers, plus superiority of equip ment, plus being first in the field al ways insured victory. The German Crown Prince, and not Gen. Nivelle, would have been the hero of Verdun if so simple a formula as that at tr'buted to Forrest were the first and last rule of success. If Gen. Forrest ever said anything like what has been attributed to him popularly he must have said it to a woman and said it jestingly or in modest deprecation of his leader ship, in the spirit in which Gen. Nivelle told the correspondents at Verdun, when they asked about his' strategy, that the only military sci ence he knew was "fight." Gen. Forrest proved hi3 ability first by supporting a widowed mother and her brood upon a small and poor hill farm in Mississippi and expanding his operations until he became one of the wealthiest planters in Tennes see, and next by entering the Con federate army as a private and rising to the rank of Lieutenant General and proving himself, as Sherman said, and as the New York Times quotes him as having said, "one of the most remarkable men our Civil War produced on either side." Had he depended upon numbers he never would have won fame and the re spect of the foe. His triumph over difficulties, mainly the difficulty of inferior ( numbers, which made his war record consistent with his peace record, a triumph over the obstacles of poverty and the handicap of the necessity for supporting his father's family, made him a brilliantly suc cessful leader despite the failure of the cause In which his services were enlisted. . , -j.:-!.- The plan of German preparedness contemplated smashing thru by sheer weight of numbers and superiority of equipment before the ill-prepared French and the British with their "contemptible little army" could stop the Kaiser's millions. For four years the Germans have maintained superiority of numbers on their west ern front, : but they have not yet reached the objective which they be lieved they could reach in September or October, 1914. The Allies have had to depend upon a military plan exactly opposite from that popularly attributed to Gen. Forrest. . The final defeat of the Germans may re sult from the assembling of superior forces by the Allies, but even if that is true the glory of the victory will belong largely to the "thin line of heroes" and the leaders who defeated the German horde during four years of fighting and demonstrated that su perior numbers can be met by su perior fighting qualities, as was the case commonly in Gen. Forrest's ex perience. Gen. Foch is a leader whose brilliancy in combat with . superior numbers has given him fame which a triumph over the Germans as a re sult of putting 2,000,000i Americans in France woud not obscure.
