Ra n iod

How Wars In the Future VIII Have to
Be Carried On.
The increased range and rapidity of firing
Of rifles, machine guns and artillery, to-
gether with the presumably approaching
adoption by all armies OF comparatively
smokeless and noiseless powder, cannot but
produce On tactics an effect so great that it
is difficult to define its limits. The range of
artillery is now for all practical purposes
only restricted by the power of vision. Till
recently it has been thought that it was of
little use firing at greater range than $500
yards. Last year experiments at Oke-
hampton showed, however, that about one
out OF seven common shells could be pitched
at a distance of 1900 yards into square
with sides OF fifty yards ut an unknown
range, which turned out to be 1900 YARDS.
Prince Hohenlohe zu Ingelingen laws 1t
down that the first artillery position may be
about $500 yards. l myself think that if the
best glasses obtainable be given to battery,
and if the atmosphere and ground be favor
able, it will be possible to fire with fair
effect at large bodies OF troops at distances
exceeding 1900 yards. say with a range Of
two and half miles. Hence unless pro-
tee ted from view, troops will be compelled
to quit column OF route soon after reaching
a point three miles from the enemy's ar
tilery. II this be SO with the columns on
the march, 1t is evident that 1t will be neces-
sary to prevent the enemy's guns taking up
position within three miles from an army
encamped or bivouacked before order of
battle can be assumed.
IL is true that the increased range and
Tapidity Of rifle fire will enable the infantry
ouiposts to render it difficult for gunners to
serve their pieces with accuracy at less dis
tances than 1900 yards; still, even couple
of batteries would be able, however much
harassed, to drop into the camp or bivouac
some three or four shells per minute with
sufficient precision to cause confusion among
the horses. Besides the weak line of pick
cts might soon be driven in by a mounted in
iantry escort of the hostile guns. Hence
1t will generally be Indispensable that in
future the first serious line Of resistance of
the outpost trOops-in most cases the line of
the reserves-shall be two miles, at least,
from the main body. and stronger than
hitherto. Not less than that interval will
also have to be left between the head of the
main body and the rear of the reserves of
the advance guard.-Colonel Knollys in the
F0rthightly Review.

more have gotten away from those fellows
than l could fly but for you. The officer
captured himself; he ran right into me.
"Don't you remember that battery which
stood on the hill over yonder? When we
charged it the line gave way before the guns
and we broke and skedaddled. Don't you
remember my horse becoming unmanage-
able from shell wound in his neck and him
carrying me straight ahead afterthe line
had broken? Didn't dash right straight
into the middle OF the battery? We'll, dld
anybody follow me? Nobody but yourself
would or did, and if the artillerymen had
had so much as scythe they could have cut
me all to pieces. You were the man that
helped me then, and If you don't know how,
I'll tell you that.

II want you to understand that 1t isn't

s'and l would have been no doubt, had 1t
not been for you. You caught my horse
when he had thrown me; your saber pro-
tected me until l mounted; you rode like
the mischief and braved the canister which
they showered on the line when it fell back.
In brief, you saved my life, but at the risk
OF your own.

Soon long line Of cavalry was crawling
along the road in the direction OF Mud
Spring.
Who of all the soldiers who were on that
memorable field now remember the scenes of
carnage and death, the charges and counter
charges, the harbreadth escapes of a bloody
but fruitless fight? Who remembers the
gallant charge of the Ohio cavalry on the
Fourth Virginia. when 1t was nip and tuck

the ford first? Those days are long since

struggling to get first place among the tan

their mad embrace; then, as II by some
hidden power, tn. Yankee regiment rises
