The Charge of the Future.

Writing in 1873 on the conclusions to be
drawn from his study of the Russian cam
paign against Turkey, Capt. Greene, United
States engineers, said; "Four hundred men,
garrisoning a little redoubt of 100 yards on a
side, and firing both from the parapet and
the ditch, can now in twelve minutes easily
deliver ~, 900 shots, a vertable hail of lead,
each pellet of of which, if it strikes vital
part, is fatal, up to distance of a mile and
a quarter; and if but one in twenty of these
bullets finds its billet, the defenders will
have destroyed 1900 men during the time
that the assailants are passing over this mile
and quarter, l. e, three times their own
number" In 1868 the possible destruction
was less than Il twelfth Of that in 1877 But
it must be allowed that the possible destruc-
ton in 1888 will hnve doubled that of 1887,
and the defense will have Correspondingly
doubled its power. So the attack will be in
the future weaker than ever, whether against
works or mere field intrenchments or rifle
pits.-New York Times
