When war comes again IL will be waged
under entirely new conditions. and with
modern improvements which would amaze
and awe even the great Napoleon could
he behold them.
Most people are aware that magazine
breechloading rifles and steel breech-
loading canons have been substituted for
the old muzzeloading musket and cast
iron muzzleloading cannon; that there
are now such things as ';atlings cr1
Nordenfeldts. and Hotchkss and briggs
Schroeder machine guns; that bicycles are
roming TO the front as a necessary part OF
a soldiers equipment. and that tactics
have been changed so that troops now
fight i'm the manner of Indians rather
than In the "serricd columns" of the
days Of Frederick the Great But how
many know of the other new things?
Some of these novelties will be here de-
scribed
An entirely new feature is likely to be
the extensive use OF kites for photo
graphing an enemy's country. forces and
works. for signalling. and for dropping
upon an enemy high explosives. Balloons
were first used for obtaining information
in our civil war. and foreign armies now
have ysell-equipped balloon battalions.
But the use Of balloons greatly endan-
ger the lives Of aeronauts as they are
a fine mark i'm the air. and they are frag-

hand. cost but trihe and do the work
