Major B. Baden-Puwicll. 



The only soldier who has responded to the appeal 

 to draw up a list is Major B. Baden-Powell, who 

 I)refaces his li^t with the following remarks : — " All 

 depends upon whether the ' Greatest Men ' are those 

 whose individuality is pre-eminent, or whose work 

 has had the greatest influence on humanity. The 

 latter may be for good or evil. It may make men 

 belter, as with founders of religions. It may further 

 civilisation, as with the chief inventors, or it may 

 merely affect political organisations, as with generals 

 and politicians. Probably there were pn-historic 

 celebrities quite equal to any. One of the greatest of 

 inventions, if it were made, was the method of kindlinr, 

 fire."
