The Art Of War.

or of revolutioniZing the art Of war. TC
American armies are due the intrOduC
ton of the scou' or open order system Of
fighting, with all the concomitants ol
skirmishers, ritle-p etc. Foreign ma
tions were slow to adopt it, but it came
ut last and is now universal. America,
too, was the first to introduce the exten-
sive use of the rifle and of sights on ma
val guns. Today the rifle is the univer-
sal arm of the infantry, and n cannon
without sights Or means for accurate
laying IL as useless as one without
powder. The third revolution was the
introduction of the monitor, and here
the honors belong to the individual ra-
ther than to the nation. Captain Erics-
sons monitor was, in spite Of caviling
and all that has been said in regard to
ironclads, an entirely unique con-
struction. The idea had never been pre-
viously carried into practice, and Ger.
tainly had never been put in successful
form. The work of the monitor produc.
