DRILL AND TACTICS.
THE GREAT CHANGES IN MODERN
METHODS OF WARFARE.

Magazine Rifles to Supersede Breech
Leaders as Breech Leaders Superseded
MuzZIe Loaders-Smokeless Powder.
The Charge-Use of Cavalry.
To those who knew him it is almost incon-
ceivable that Gen. Skobeleff could have be-
come IA strategist, but he was born tac-
tician. On the other hand, the lieutenant in
the United States army who lays his plans so
that he surprises and captures band of hos
tile Indians is, pro tanto, strategist The
line between strategy and tactics cannot he
drawn easily or exactly; but the line between
drill and tactics is so clear that it is passing
strange how any confusion between them can
ever have arisen The band of farmers who,
the other day, hunted down and surrounded
the lalr of n family of murderers knew, prob
ably, nothing Of drill, but they brought tao
tics into play.
There is a danger lest our officers fail to
study tactics such as they would require
every day and hour if they were opposed TO
a regularly organized force. The fact that
they have to handle troops mainly against
Indians and rarely against mobs in cities, Is
apt to induce them to ignore field tnctics as
understood and practice1 in other countries.
We are apparently ON the eve oi a mighty
struggle, in which magazine rifles will super
sede breech leaders, as breech leaders in 1866
and 1870, superseded muz2le leaders. Not
only will more shots a minute be available
for the defense of position, but those shots
will be more effective on account of the lower
trajectory of the bullets. A bullet fired point
blank will henceforth hit anywhere up to 800
yards, instead of falling far short of that

Gen. Skobeleff said to Capt Green, United
States engineers: "The only formation in
which troops can successfully assault in
trenched positions is in successive lines of
skirmshersn And that will probably now
remain true in some senses as long as war
lasts. But against magazines guns and ma
chine guns the lines of skirmishers will have
to be far more open than they were against
breech leaders. 1t is even doubtful whether
they will be, strictly speaking, lines at all, or
whether they will not have to be turned into
rather what is called the cloud formation.
The trouble with this will be, except With
troops of the very highest training, to bring
enough men together and well in hand to
make the final assault against the serried
line of the defenders holding all the advan-
tago of the cover of the trenches And here,
again, as any soldier must see, comes in the
question of the support to be given to the
skirmishers by machine guns or artillery
seeking to keep down the fire from the in
trenchments. In fact, the whole problem is
altered by the shifting of what might appear
but minor factor of it,
We recently pointed out the coming change
in the use Of cavalry, when each squadron
shall have attached to it a galloping gun-a
machine gun-such as Col. Hasbrouci saw
one or two English cavalry regiments with
on his recent visit TO Aldershot Infantry
will cease to despise cavalry so much as they
are now taught to do, when they haveshad
few lessons from cavalry dropped behind
a bank or hill crest and their lying down fire
by a storm Of bullets from gallop-
ing guns. Cavalry, on the other hand, will
not "charge for the guns quite SO readily
when field batteries are flanked by machine
guns. And artillery will not open at 1000
or 1900 yards, as they have done, when the
men serving the guns can be moved down at
2 500 or 5000 yards by storm of bullets pro-
jected by the agency of only one or two rlen.
1t must never be forgotten that to get the
greatest amount of heroism displayed by the
average man he must have at least a fair
chance of coming out unscathcd. Take away
that chance and you take away the courage

AN APPEAL FOR BATHING FACILITIES FOR TIE PUBLIC.

In my rambles around the city during this hot

A Dangerous Way to Celebrate.
THE USUAL FOURTH OF JULY FUsILADE BEGU,

Already the small boy has begun to celebrate
the Fourth OF july and all day yesterday and Sat-
urday night explosives were set on in all parts Of
the city. Several accidents have already occurred,
but only one person has been badly injured. One
small boy has been arrested far, and Judge MIL
Ter warned him against setting of explosives in
the streets contrary to law. There will be no
special order issued TO the members OF the police
force, but the Officers Will be told to use every
effort TO protect life and property For several
years the police have attempted to suppress the
use OF explosives, but without much success. Chill
dren when told that they will be arrested for set

woodsheds and yards and the result Is that there
Is greater number OF fires than there would be II
the youngsters were not tnterfered with. The
police have issued large number Of permits to
dealers to sell explosives, but they are not per-
United TO sell them to children under sixteen years
OF age. The only person who has been badly in
Jured thus far is colored boy named Frank
Brown. Saturday afternoon, near Sd and streets
southwest, Frank loaded u cannon with powder,
and was looking into the muzzle Of 1t when an
other boy applied the torch. An explosion fol-
lowed, and the boys face and eyes were badly
burned. Many complaints have already been
made against children for setting OF explosives in
the streets and frightening horses, but, as stated,
only one arrest has thus far been made.
