How Men Fight Nowmhny..

Colonel p. Gross, the Colonel OF the
Third regiment, talked Of Val to II re.
porter recently about Wal rs it really
is.
There have been changes in val
tactics since the Civil War said he.
-For instance, soldiers usei To line
up in battle shoulder to shoulder,
and stand out in the open under a
CALLING fire. That has been changed.
In the Spanish wa. infantry will DO
its lighting i'll extended order.
When the regiments are in line ir.
ing the men will be three. four, five.
o r y six feet apart. Tho extended
order line Is similar 20 the skermish
line. 1t is 4 very effective way OF
fighting, and greatly reduces the loss
OF men.
TO march men upon the field
shoulder TO shoulder in tie face OF
rapid-tiring artillery means a great
slaughter. Calling or TIotchkiss guns
would simply NOW them down.
Then, too. the men are allowed to
protect themselves. they lie down
and with their trench knives or bayo-
nets scoop up loose earth. which il "A
great protection from Infantry fire.
Loose earth will stop rifle bullets.
In the last war we used To raise
earth Notifications and stamp the
earth down hard. That is just what
We should not have done. We should
have thrown up the earth loosely.
-In an engagement a regiment is
marched ont upon the field in three
battalions under the command Of
Majors. the companies-four 10 a bat
talon commanded by Captains.
BY this mean the Colonel and Lieu.
tenant Colonel can direct tile ma
%neuvering Of the regiment. II is
much more effective than the old
method Of bringing TIE regiments
