EFFORT OF CHlVALRY.
General Fitx-Hugh Lee Thinks Pickett's
Charge VIII Never BE Duplicated.

After a critical examination of the
improvements made in wal since his
practical experience Of it General Fitz-
Hugh Lee concludes that such "a charge
as that Of Pickett and his men at Gettys-
burg would now be impossible.
During the civil war 60 rounds of IN
munition were the full allowance for a
days fighting, while now an infantry
man intrenched can fire 60 rounds in
three minutes at a charging enemy. The
modern magazine rifle, if used in con-
nection with rapid firing cannon, Gen
eral Lee thinks, would have destroyed
every one Of Pickett's men long before
they reached the heights.
The penetration of the regulation
Krag-Jorgensen rifle is six times that Of
the Springfield or Winchester, and it
will discharge 40 shots in SO seconds
with a range of 5000 yards.
Such has been the improvement in
field guns that General Lee believes the
present improved breechloading gun can
be captured by infantry only by strategy
or after its ammunition has been ex-
hausted. When such pieces are re-en-
forced by Maxim and Gatling guns, fir
ing from $50 to 800 shots a minute, it
becomes practically impossible to storm
any well established position.
General Lees conclusions seem we'll
founded, and if they are the magnificent
charge of Pickett's men was the last eff
fort of chivalry in warfare in North
America. When such chivalry gives
place to science; when it is no longer a
question Of picturesque displays of per-
sonal courage; when all the heroic in
dividualism of the old barbaric methods
Of making war disappears and nothing
is left except the scientific determination
Of the enemy, war will cease to be a glo-
rious business in the minds of the young,
and it may II 10 longer be true that every
generation must have its war.-New
York World.
