MODERN DEFENCE.

Wherein 1t Differs from tho Method
Formerly Employed.
The great tactical principles 9omain
immutable and equally underlie all sue
cess in war. and, human nature being
the same in all ages, will apply with
the same force In our own day as they
did Thousand years ago. The great
object OF the defense, whether armed
with bows and arrows, smooth -boro mus
kets, or the magazine rifle, rs ever been
TO detain the assailants under fire from
men moro or less securely placed behind
cover, SO shatter them that they would
be compelled to fall back. Formerly
weapons we're so defective, and took so
long to load, that it needed long time to
produce FIRE OF tho requisite intensity.
Vast obstacles to hold the enemy had,
therefore. to DO established, and elabor-
ate arrangements to produce fianking or
cross fro entered into. But in these
days of breechloadcrs and magazine
rifles the rapidity and volume of fire
hive bcen so enormously increased that
very short time is sufficient for it to
do its work.
No troops however brave, could In tho
open face the pitilcss hail that can
now be directed on thcm as they emerge
from their trenches to the assault; and
the effect OF modern musketry is so tre'
mendous that frontal fire is all that II
required. Any light Obstacles, such as
wire entanglements or railings, will be

immense advantage to be able to move

defended.
1t has up 10 now boon the custom to
place them In fixed positions, where
thcy could only fire in a more or less re-
stricted direction, and where, II they
we're not likely to be hit, they had, oil
the other hand, themselves little chance
OF doing effective service. This entire
absence of mobility was one OF the
greatest disadvantages under which the
