COLORS DISCARDED.
A Ruling of the isngIish War Ofic'
Which VIII Save Many Lives.

A Ruling of the Eng1ish War Office
Which VIII Save Many Lives.
Perhaps l may as well state here a
fact, which / think is not generally
known outside of military circles. On
our landing in Egypt for the Soudan
expedition all colors of regiments were
left on board the fleet, so that British
soldiers. for the first time in history
went into action unaccompanied by
"Old Glory" whose silken folds had
been wont for centuries to flap among
the bayonets and sabers of its defenders
in some cases jaunty and gay in the
bravery of new material and bullion
wrought device, in Others simply a
grim, war-battered old emblem, but in
either case dear as life's pulse to each
other and every one in the regiment to
which each colorrespectiyely belonged.
1t may be recolleotsd that at the battle
of Maiwand, in Afghanistan, in which
certain infantry regiment was am
pushed, but could have escaped were it
uot that the enemy devoted all his ener-
gies to the capture of the colors, the
men stood by them in defense, and so
were completely annihilated-wiped off
the army list, us it were. OF course,
the colors were lost. This decided the
War Office, and the order was issued
that henceforth British soldiers must
fight without colors.
1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that in the British service the colors
1.-TWO to each regimenO were always
carried by commissioned officers -
generally the Juniors as to service.
These colors were escorted by u color
guard consisting of the first or color
sergeants of each company, who were
also the pay sergeants. Now, in
action, in cas- the color bearers were
shot down, there was always great
emulation on the part of other officers
to seize and bear them aloft, thus offer.
ing themselves as ne 3dless targets for
enterprisng sharpshooters. This sort
of thing might be repeated till all the
officers were placed horS dr. combat,
when of course, the real backbone of
the regiment (the non-commissoned
staff would be expected to take COM
mand; bat if the color bearers were
swept off it would be quite likely that
the color-guard shared their fate, when
the reg 'ment would quickly become
Ike ship without either a rudder or a
pilot. Reasoning thus the magnates
of the War Office decided that the
carrying of colors entailed needless
mortality among the most efficient
members of a regiment, therefore the
practice must cease. as the army could
fight well enough without them. The
strangest part of it all is, the rank and
file now cheerfully coincide with the
views of their superiors. - Cor. Boston

THE SWISS ARMY.
Three Distinct Races Serving Under On
and the Same Name.

Three Distinct Races Serving Under One
and the Same Name.
The maneuvcrs of the Swiss Federal
army which have taken place in the
north of the Canton Vaud, are partic-
ularly interesting; first because the
Swiss army is the prototype of the
democratic army of the future" and
secondly, because it offers the curious
sp ctacle of three distinct races serv-
ing under one and the same name,
combining German tenacity with
French force and Italian spirit. The
Swiss army is constituted solely for de-
f nsive purposes, operations beyond
the frontier being illegal. Every
Switzer is So iicr from his twentieth
to MS forty fourth year. Before becom-
ing one he has already received prepar-
atory military training, from the age
of ten to eighteen, in one of the fifty
four cadet corps. The Federal army is
composed of two parts-tirst, the elite
and second landw chr. A recent law
has further organized the territor-
ial army, the landsturm, comprising
all the remaining able-bodied men.
The number of men in the elite is nom
inally 1922 S6; but, unlike the state of
things in most countries. the effective
strength is greater than is shown on
paper and this wear is i17,179. The
number of the la1dwehr is the same.
The landsturm. when organized, will
rompr SO about 100000. This brings
up the total to 405, 900, out of popu-
laton Of 100000. Well may the cor
respondent speak of the Swiss as "a
people under arlns." Since 1869 the
army has been supplied with the Wet
tern Ga local inventory repeating rifle,
which is said to be an admirable
weapon. The pay during service is e.

A GOOD SUGGESTION,

Sidney (Australia) Newspaper Would
Like to See the Temperance People of
Great Britain, Canada and America
Gathered With Her Own People to Dis
cuss the Question of the Nineteenth
Century.
The suggestion has been made by
the Social Retormaer of Sidney, Austria
liza, that national conference of Tenn
perance workers be held during the
centenary of New South Wales next
year Q8SO. 1t says: "Our Govern
mentpropose great centenary jubilee,
and offer one of the strongest bills of
fare ever submitted tc a people who
only laugh at the folly of their rulers.
But might not we, as Temperance
men, make some arrangements worthy
of our great work. If we were to Sc
lect the one question of the present age
that IS occupying the largest amount
of attention in the civilized world, it
would be the drink traffic. This is adj
mitted to be the greatest evil of the
nineteenth century. Let us abstainers
then call the heads of our various So
cieties together and see if we can not
arrange q national Temperance con-
ference and show that if Gas the Bulle-
I'M says there is to be tifteen-days'
drunk there will be one assembly at
least where men will not only be sober,
but employed in considering the best
means of inducing others to become so.
This is matter well worthy of the
consideration of the Temperance lead
ers. And with q conference, what an
admirable opportunity of discussing
fully the question of Legislative restric-
ton, having, as we may reasonably
expect, men from not only the Mother
Country, but also from all the States
of America and Canada, men who have
beheld the effect of restrictive Legisla-
ture in all its various phases and under
every variety of circumstances. Lett our
r'.iers be guilty of folly if they will,
bat let us if possible utilize so great an
event in the history of Australia, and
use a great national gathering for
great national purpose.

STOP DRINKlNGI

A Way by Which LaborinG Men May In
crease Their Wages and Ease Themselves
ola Burden Which They Now Carry for
Capitalists.
There are thirty-two saloons in the
city of Moline, ILL.,, and they pay to
the city license of five hundred and
ten dollars per annum, aggregating
sixteen thousand three hundred and
twenty dollars. The money is used to
defray municipal expenses, and it takes
from real estate and personal property
tax of just that amount, which, were
it not for the saloons, would have to
be paid by the property owners. Now,
who pays this special tax? The saloon
keepers, primarily, but ultimately the
patrons of the saloons. And who are
the patrons of the saloons? Laboring
men, men in most cases without home
or property. Now, what howl would
be raised if the city of Moline should
say 1--WE will compel the laboring men
to pay special tax of sixteen thousand
three hundred and twenty dollars in
order to lessen the taxes of the cap
italists." Of course if the saloon priv
ileges were taken away they would be
the gamers in paying even this special
tax, for now they have to pay in addi-
ton, for the support of thiIty-two fam
lies and the profits of the thirty-two
men engaged in the saloon business.
viii Labor continue to take the bur-
den from Capital by paying its taxes?
This is question that should be care
fully pondered. Laboring men are
not obliged to pay this tax; they do it
voluntarily. In getting this benefit
from Labor, Capital is not responsible.
The sons of toll reduce their own wages
and they do it by their own volition. If
they don't feel like relieving Capital of
the burden of taxation, there is SIM
pie and easy remedy-stop drinkingi
Stop drinking and get one advantage
of Capital that no power on earth can
take from you, for no one can compel
you to pay the tax on drink if you never
take liquor to your lips. Western
