THE MARTYRS KADDIsH.


Fanatcal hordes the Rhine to deliver the

Saracens. That work of would-be redemption is
halowed by spilling Jewish blood by the pundering
and numbering of Hebrew congregations. "The
Cross Death such is the rude batte-cry against
the unarmed who adhere to the belief of one only
God. Jewish parents gather around the creatures
they hold dear exhort them sacrifice life on the
altar OF religion and prepare to die. They put on
the raiment of the dead and while their bodies are
still alive they read to themselves the prayer for

The angels of peace weep bitterly when that Kad-

DREDGING THE CHANNEL.
Operations on the Potomac During
the Past Month.

Colonel Allen, the engineer officer In
charge of the improvement of the Potomac
river reports that dredging operations were
continued in the Virginia channel. opposite
Washington by Contractor Clegg during
the past month, but that little progress
was made owing to the bad condition of
the dredge. He says that, although dou-
BILE crew was kept on the dredge to run It
night and day, the actual dredging time
made curing the month was only lo3 en-
gine hours The amount of material dredged
and deposited on the fats was I,isS cubic
yards. or an average of about 81 cubic
yards per engine hour. The amount Of
material removed to date under the exist
ing contract is about per cent of the guam
tity originally required to be removed, ap-
proximately $4,000 yards.
The field work of the survey OF Anacostla
river having been completed, the attention
of the engineer office Is now devoted to the
preparation of the maps and the project
for the Improvement of the river. The re-
duction of soundings and level notes. the
compilation of traverses and the plotting
OF maps are now in progress. Informa-
ton is being prepared relative to lines and

AdjGtant General Corbin has made re-

details of the organization of the army
regulars and volunteers-during the Span
ish war, with a special chapter devoted to
the method of recruiting the volunteer es-
tablishment unde. the call for 100000
troops. Al the last enrolment, in August,
the regular army consisted of 1928 officers
ana ot,3bo enlisted men, and the volunteer
army of S,7S5 officers and 207.244 enlisted
men, making total of II, ,10S officers and
2E'609 enlisted men, or 274.717 in ALL
The adjutant general says that the sus
pension of hostilities, resulting from the
snort but brilliant operations of the army
against Santiago, Cuba, leading to its cap
ture and of that of the Spanish forces de-
Tending the city, the surrender of Spanish
troops In Porto Rico, no less than the
successful operations of our troops in
the Philippines, led to the determination
to muster out 100000 men, nearly one-half
OF the entire volunteer force, and the first
order looking to that end was issued on the
18th OF August last.
Since the signing of the protocol the Off
GERS and men of the volunteer regiments
have remained at their posts of duty in
most cases at great personal sacrifice. That
they nave done this cheerfully and with
out complaint, Gen. Corbin says, makes il
all the more desirable that a speedy in

The National Guard.

Respecting the militia the adjutant gen.
eral says:
The cordial relations which justly exist
between the regular army and the Nationa!
Guard of the several states have led in
past years to the detail of such officers OF
the army as could be spared for duty with
the state forces al their annual encamp-
nientS, etc. This course was necessarily in
terrupted by the war with Spain, but it is
hoped will be resumed with continued mu-
tual benefit in the near future.
The necessary reorganization of the mill
Itia of the several states resulting from the
temporary withdrawal of nearly 100000 of
these troops from active duty in the service
Of the United States and the deep interest
felt in the welfare and efficiency of the Ma
tional Guard prompt the suggestion of the
following thoughts for the consideration of
the military authorities and legislatures of
the several states:
The readmission into the National Guard
of the state organizations which volunteered
their services to their country is question
Paving but one possible anSwer-to refuse
admission when desired would practically
punish men for their patriotic response 10
the call OF the general government.
Rations of the Militia.
While the yearly state encampments
have been productive of positive good in
impartins practical instruction to the troops
participating, the experience of the recent
campaign has demonstrated the absolute
necessity of further assimilating the con-
dtion of encamped troops to the actual ne
cessties of active service by making the
men while in camp dependent for their
existence on the army ration TO be fur
nished by the state authorities, on ra-
ton returns, and cooked by the troops
In precisely ting same manner as on
actual service in the field. An organiza-
ton ordered to a state camp for military in
struction, relying caterer to furnish
the necessary food, can never acquire that
self-reliance which characterizes the reSu-
lar soldier on active duty, for without pre-
vIously received instruction in preparing
fcod the natural result when called into
service viii be poorly cooked and wasted
rations which, failing to strengthen the
physical man, make him liable to febrile
and stomachic troubles incident to service
in all kinds of weather under distressing but
unavoidable conditions.
For this purpose involving the issue of
rations and the purchase of field cooking
stoves and utensils, the annual appropria
ton made by Congress for the support. in
part of the militia is totally inadequate,
and lis increase, urged in past years, has
now become necessity.
Evening star., 1898-11-12
More Pay for "Non-Coms."

A strong recommendation is for an in
crease of pay in all grades of non-commis-
stoned officers of the line. from sergeant
major to corporal, and the adoption of
system of making such appointment by
competitive examination. Under the pres
ent system, he says such appointments are
largely a matter of personal preference.
The adoption of the course suggested would,
in the opinion of the adjutant general
awaken the ambition of men in the ranks
capable CT qualifying, and, by inducing
them to select the profession of arms as
their future career, secure to the army a
highly trained and thoroughly efficient nom
commissioned class; and capable. in time
of war, Of furnishing good material for
volunteer officers.
1t is also recommended that the general
service corps created in 1886 be brought
under the general classification established
by the act of March 3, 1853 as amended
by the act of April 22, 1854 which governs
the classification of clerks in the several
executive departments with the addition
of a class at $1,000. 1t is further recon-
nerded that, in times of active service. this
force be increased to 900 men, by selection
of suitable men from regiments to enable
the War Department to assign trained and
competent clerks to the several corps and
divisions in the field.
