Bullet-Proof Soldiers.


 If we are right in our reasoning, and If. again, there is not some latent but fatal defect in Herr Dowe's system, the result on warfare will be very re- markable one. Since the object of war Is to kill-"to place hors de combat Is only less crude way of putting the fact-new ways of killing infantry and cavalry will have to be devised. The chances of hitting men in the face at long distances with rifle-fire will not be good enough. But the only ways of killing effectively that will remain open will be artillery fire, close combat with bayonet and clubbed rihe-preferably the latter, as the cuirass will make the bayonet difficult to use with effect and riding men down by cavalry charges. The first of these, artillery Ire, has hitherto been regarded as of comparatively little importance in the matter of killing. It is. often declared, indeed, that the chief effect produced by the guns is the moral effect.
 Though not many are killed, men do not like to be within range of artillery. Possibly however, the effect of artil- lery fire. could be increased. In any case, and since everything is relative, the fact of the falling-off of efficiency in rifie-fire must increase the jmporz tance of artillery-fire.
 ;e 1hxyfo, that tho chief effect of bullet-proof soldiers on the circumstances of battle would be to increase enormously the amount of hand-to- hand fighting. But hand-to- hand fighting means an advantage to the strongest and most athletic force. Now 1t will be seen from the bare enu- meration of the changes which seem likely to follow bullet-proof soldiers, that great advantage will be given to England. Rullet-proof cuirasses will give an advantage to the nation which can only bring small number of troops into the field. But that nation Is England. It will increase the inn portance of artillery. But this should be in favor of England, for though we have not the conscription, and so can not get men in large quantities, we can manufacture as many guns as we choose. Next, the revival of close com bat ought to be in our favor, for Eng lishmen are certainly better at the rough-and-tumblc of close fighting than their neighbors. The infantry are naturally more handy and more athlet- ic, and the cavalry are, if not theoret- ically. better riders, more capable horsemen. An Englishman is more likely to get his horse to do the impos- sible than Frenchman or German | If, then, Herr Dowe's invention enters the region of practical warfare, the change. will be in England's favor. II will give us 8 chance to escape being pressed to the ground by hostile mil. lions.' r-M In the navy no less than in the army | the cuirass should be of enormous inn l portance. During a sea-fight great ] many things will want doing under a storm, of rifle-fire, but will hardly be l double except in one of Herr Dowe's jackets A few bullet-prooe' sailors would be godsend to captain wher

DEBS.

President Debs of the American Rail- way Union is now the great man who is aiming to be the real ruler of this coun- try. Awhile ago it was Martin Irons. T. V. Powderly has also been a pretend CT, and there were others. Those who have preceded Debs have not been able to maintain their claim and they have fallen into condition of innocuous desuetude. But Debs appears to have no doubt that where other great men have failed he will succeed. He has be- gun his big work ill the same way his predecessors did theirs. He is issuing manifestOs calculated to show his power, his moderation and his confi- dence in his supporters. And, like his predecessors, he doesn't mind an occa- sional slight departure from the truth in what he says: For instance: "The railroad corporations, through the Gen. eral Managers association, came to the rescue and in series of whereases de- clared to the world that they would go into partnership with Pullman, so to speak, and stand by him in his devilish work of starving his employees to death." The truth is that. Pullman tried to keep his employees in bread and butter at great cost to himself, and Debs istrying to deprive the railroads of their bread and butter because they will not ac- knowledge the dominion of Debs. In another of Debs' manifestos he depre- cates violence just as his great prede- cessors did, and then proceeds to pro- yoke it by calling upon every man who believes in organized railroad labor to 'take his stand on the side of labor and battle for his rights and the rights of his fellow men," In other words he would like to see every workingman in the country stop work and battle un- til it has been decided that what Debs says goes.
 And Debs also says, just as Powderly, Martin Irons and the others wero wont to say,F'I am perfectly confident of success. We cannot fail" But they all failed to make themselves the ac- cepted bosses of the country. Debs will also fail. And by and by he will be ex-president even of his own union.

marry Miss Pollard. According to the
testimony Colonel Breckinridge contin-

THE IsRAsLITE IN EGYPT.

Egyptian Names Are Faithfully Repro
duced In the Bible
! a correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian writes:, Perhaps hardly any
tale of ancient times has.come down
to us SO well accredited as to its main:
facts as the story of the sojourn of the
Israelftes in Egypt, their wanderings'
IN the desert, and the slow and painful
evolution among them of a higher form
of religious faith. and yet, if we are to
believe Profs. B. Stade (''Geschichte
des Vollzes Israel') and E. Meyer
('Geschichte des alien .Aegyptens'),
the Israelites never were in Egypt at
all. s'All that we read of their history
in Exodus, says Prof. Stade, sis myth

length Profs. Stade and Meyers. argu-

rationaGstic version of the Bible

argument from the silence of the
Egyptian records (why, he pertinent
ly asks, should the Egyptians have
sought to preserve the memory of
selves?), and rejects as unscientific
their attempt to emasculate into
the mere passing wandering of some
small nomad tribe that migration and
regeneration of whole nation which
has left lasting traces on the history,
of the world The, accretions of later
date may be distinguished from the
small bits of genuine tradition that are
all that have come down to us by their
very appropriateness, by their aptitude
to enforce the tendencies of the age in
which the tradition took definite liter
ary form; thus the miraculous element
in the story of the Exodus would grow
naturally out of the desire for religious
edification, the omission of other mem
tion of other tribes than their own
from the growing national exclusive
ness. But where we find details given
which are opposed to the tendencies of
the later time. such as the Midianites,
later on Israel's .bitterest enemies,

spiritual as well as material sense,
or the forefathers of the two great
tribes, Ephraim and Manasseh, spring

we may surely draw conclusions favor.
