Modern Armies Must Learn to Throw Up
Works Speedily.
Hasty intrenching, as far as America
is concerned, originated with the Indi-
ans, and was used by our soldiers in
the revolution, butit was only perfected
in u civil war. It came to be impera-
tive, as rife fire increased in ang and
accuracy, SO much so that Col. Francis
Greene tells us that Gurko's troops car
ried heavy picks and shovels, by indi-
vidual preference, through the Balkan
campaign; this, too, when they were
freezing, starving and had their feet
done up in rags. All the European
armies are now provided with intrench-
ing tools, concerning the relative value
of which there is endless discussion.
Various ones have been tried expert
mentally in our modern army, but none
adopted. This is a bad business.
The drill now is to take the knife
bayonet and the top of the Russian
meat tin, with which every soldier is
provided, and while loosening the
dirt with the knife to scoop it out with
the tin This might be difficult in
frozen or hard ground, and is bad for
both tin and knife. When I saw it tried
the ground consisted Of loose loan,
and within a few moments Capt. Febi-
gers company in infantry were out Of
eight in the fiat prairie. They had liter
ally sunk into the earth, and so dry and
light was the dirth that it was almost
invisible at eco yards; to a casual sight
it might have been gopher diggings.
The enormous penetration Of modern
bolts makes soldiers throw the dirt
forward for nearly four feet in order
to afford any protection, and modern
infantry must, in the face of an enemy,
60 about the country like 9 mole-just
under the sod line. With tie command
to "HaltI" the digging begins.
Our national guard could not dig up
armory floors, but they could do this
drill at the state camp, and, aside from
cooking, outpost work and shooting,
it is most important to soldier to know
how to get out Of sight quickly.-Har-

A War Incident,

When SeDator Mills delivered his
great speech on Cuba in the Senate
on Tuesday, says special to the
st. Louis Republic, he related an
incident that called cheers from the
galleries and aroused deep interest
on the floor of the Senate. Mr.. Mills
was describing the cruelty of the
Spaniards and their habitual murder
and violation of women. Then he
drew this contrast:
"Mr. President, while thinking of
the slaughter of this girl, who at
tempted to save her father, there
comes up in my mind the recollec-
ton of an incident shat occurred in
Alabama during our civil war. A
Colonel of an Ohio regiment was in
command of district in North
Alabama, within whose lines the
family of a Confederate officer re-
sided. Sometimes the bold soldier
would slip through the lines, undis-
covered, and visit his family. On
one occasion he was discovered by
some one more devoted to the Union
than to his personal welfare. In
formation was given to the Colo
mel commanding the district, who
took half dozen of his men and,
under cover of night, went to the
house to capture his Confederate
foeman. Arriving at the house he
rushed in the door pistol in hand
and found the Confederate soldier
in the midst of his family, his pistol
and belt lying upon the bureau and
within reach of his daughter, beau
tiful girl of eighteen summers. In
an instant she grasped her fathers
pistol to shoot in defense of her
fathers person. The Colonel sprang
forward, seized the pistol in her hand
to disarm her. Not being a Span
lard, it never entered his mind to
shoot her. In the struggle her pistol
fired and she was shot through the
hand, but her father succeeded in
making his escape. The gallant
officer returned in few days to see
about the wounded hand. He came
again to express his profound regrets
for that wound and again and again
to hope for it's early recovery. He
did not stop coming till he carried
that hand off with him, clasped in
his. 1t is his now and has been fol
thirty years. Around that family
hearthstone there stands a group OF
noble sons, half Yankees, half South
ern, but all Americans. We did not
shoot women and children. We did
not shoot prisoners in our great
civil war"
Soon after the Senator concluded
his speech / met him and inquired
regarding the identity of the Ohio
Colonel and the fair Alabama Con.
federate. He told me he referred tc
an incident in the lives of Col. S. w
Fordyce and his accomplished wife
