Development, of the skirmish Drill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25-Major General
Schoield has approved the new army
tactics, and when they receive the ap-
proval of the secretary of war, steps will
be taken at once to put them in operation.
Briefly described, the general scheme is a
development of the skirmish drill to its
highest point. Every man in line of battle
belongs to squad constituting unit of
force to be handled with many others as a
whole. There is to be 20 such thing as
driving in the skirmish line" but on the
contrary, with every increase Of the OPP
posing force the skirmish line is to be
strengthened, but the line of battle is to
grow by accretion and to advance at all
times until the whole army is engaged.
The result is expected to be short, sharp,
decisive engagements, and battles are to
be won and lost BY the first onslaught.

JULES CREWS DEATH.
The Announcement Came Somewhat as n
Surprise in Paris.


PARIS, Sep. 10.-The announcement
yesterday afternoon of the death of NJ.
Jules Grevy came somewhat as a surprise
although he was far advanced in years,
yet it was thought that he was enjoying
usual good health.
The eX-Presideut was born at Mont-sous
Vaudrey, in the Jura, August Is, 1907,
was educated in the College of Poligney,
studied law in Paris, took part in the
revolution of July, 1880, and was en-
ployed to defend accused Radicals He
became a member of the Constituent As
sembly in 1913, was on the Committee of
Justice and Vice-President of the Assem-
bly,, and proved his ability as a speaker.
NJ. Grevy re-eutored the Assembly in
1869, and was chosen its president Feb.
19, 1871, resigning in April, 1878.
He was again made President of the
Chamber in 1876 and was returned from
the Jura several times before, on Janu-
airy 30, 1876, when Marshal MacMahon
had resigned the Presidency of the Re-
public. NJ. Grevy was elected to this
Office for the term of seven years.
President Grevy was reelected Presi-
dent, but resigned in 1887, on account of
the notorious Wilson scandal in which
M. Grevy's son-in-law was proved to have
been connected with the sale of State
decorations the revelations reacting on
the Elysee with most damaging effect.
In this matter NJ. Grevy was known
to be quite beyond any charge, but his
desire to shield his family and his dis
inclination to act vigorously, caused him
to be much blamed.
Since that eX President Grevy has lived
the quiet life Of a country gentleman, of
which he was always fond, and has not
meddled in politics in any way.
