Just when it was needed for the campaign, Hearst Paper No. 8, the Boston American, began publication.

It was the only sizable assault upon infantry and artillery behind breastworks successfully made by either side during the Atlanta campaign.

While the final combat of the campaign was being worked out at Jonesborough, Thomas, on Sherman's instructions, ordered Slocum, now commanding the Twentieth Corps, to make an effort to occupy Atlanta if he could do so without exposing his bridgehead to a counterattack.

Sherman felt that his own part in the campaign was skillful and well executed but that the slowness of a part of his army robbed him of the larger fruits of victory.

Actually the Atlanta campaign was a military failure.

But, so far as its territorial objectives were concerned, the campaign was successful.

Within the narrow frame of military tactics, too, the experts agree that the campaign was brilliant.

Modern warfare was born in this campaign -- periscopes, camouflage, booby traps, land mines, extended order, trench raids, foxholes, armored cars, night attacks, flares, sharpshooters in trees, interlaced vines and treetops, which were the forerunners of barbed wire, trip wires to thwart a cavalry charge, which presaged the mine trap, and the general use of anesthetics.

Sherman proved that a railway base could be movable and the most brilliant feature of the Atlanta campaign was the rapid repair of the tracks.

Its climactic role was to pursue and demoralize a defeated enemy but this chance never came in the Atlanta campaign.

Thomas tried hard to have his cavalry ready for the test it was to meet, but his plans were wrecked when it was forced into a campaign without optimum mobility and with its commander stripped from it.

Heat during the Atlanta campaign, coupled with unsuitable clothing, caused individual irritation that was compounded by a lack of opportunity to bathe and shift into clean clothing.

Mr. Truman has only to recall the `` hopeless '' campaign of 1948 to remember what a loyal partisan he was and the first experience of Mr. Kennedy with Congress would have been sadder than it was had not Mr. Sam been there.

During his aggressive campaign to win his present position, Mr. Kennedy was vitriolic about this country's `` prestige '' abroad.

The contention needs to be formulated with much greater precision than it ever was during the campaign, but once that has been done, I fail to see how any serious student of world affairs can quarrel with it.

But contrary to what was implied during the campaign, prestige is surely not important for its own sake.

The campaign leading to the election was not so quiet, however.
