oRpEA1s OF CAMP LIFE.
War Methods as Compared With
the Usual Militia Experiences.

War Methods as Compared With
the Usual MILITIA Experiences.
Enlisting and going into camp Is
no holiday excursion. 1t is war.
The life of a soldier cannot be expected
to brim over with pleasure and partake Of
the good things of life. Rather 1t is of
necessity filled with the exigencies of war.
But from the numerous complaints that
have been lodged in various sources by
hundreds of recruits in rendezvous at
Camp Alger and other points of mobiliza-
ton, It appears that these facts, albeit
stern, are not appreciated in their true
light.
The burden Of protest against camp dis
comforts and hard army fare comes from
men who through late experience have
discovered the wide disparity between
their ideals of military life as conceived
at home and actual army life as it eN-
lists in regulation camps. not militia picnic
excursions.
Murmurings of this sort receive more
sympathy and attention when coming
from Camp Alger than from any other
point Of rendezvous. for obvious reasons
However much it may be depiored, 1t is
a fact that many men in Congress stake
their political regulations and futures up
on catering to the most obvious Oppor-
tunity OF the hour. regardless of principle
Thus IL happens that members of Con-
gress who exercised their influence to
accomplish the appointment of influential
mems sons from private life TO positions
Of high trust in the Army are now be-
stirring themselves to raise an outcry
against the hardships of life in camp.
In this manner they played first to the
gallery of the select, and now play to the
multitude, by appearing to interest them
selves in the boys from home.- r -
One of the disadvantages of having a
large camp stationed so near the National
Capital is that the, recruits. who at home
were used 10 the comforts of life. have
ready access to their congressman" in
whom they find a willing listener for
their tales of woe. based principally upon
pork and beans and hardtack for break
fast. a piece Of pork mot bigger than
that"-specifying the size upon two fing-
ers-for dinner. and hardtack and beans
again for supper with coffee for each
meal.
Then straightway the congressman reg
listers an official complaint with the Presi
dent. the War Department. and others.
thereby winning the appreciation of his
misinformed constituents.
No complaints have been heard from
the regulars. They accept hardtack. cof-
fee. and pork and beans with the phi
losophy of soldiers
No one will attempt a defense Of an
imperfect or a criminally incompetent
commissary department. made up largely
of men who know less of army life than
they do of germans and society func-
tions. Complaints of a scarcity of food
are promptly investigated. but IL recruits
are now beginning to resent army rations
because they are coarse and not served
a la mode. then they have counted too
lightly the cost of defending their flag on
the field of war.

On to Madrid.

On Friday the st. James Gazette. of
London, published a strcng leading ed
itoriai5 urging the United States to
hasten settlement of the war by send
ing fleet to attack the Spanish coast.
1t argued that with Cervera's squadron
out of the reckoning. and Spain's naval
remnant hopeless against our sea pow
er. the mere fact that a number of
American vessels were off her shores
would produce such panic that the
government would be forced to come
to terms in short order. The St. James
Gazette assures us that however much
one or two continental powers might
dislike such a movement. not one of
them would venture to interferes and
that, in any case. We would have the
backing OF John Bull.
The advice is good. We have devoted
too much attention to what the enemy
might do, and too little to initiative
on our own part. Perhaps the Presi-
dent looks at the matter in that light
and is preparing to let the Spaniards
see what Yankee cruisers look like
when riding the blue waves Of the Med
iterranean and shooting thousand
pound. shells at things on shore. There
is a rumor to the effect that the squad
ron assembled or assembling at Hamp-
ton Roads Is for some such purpose.
Whether that be fact or not. the idea
seems to be in the line Of good strategy.
The st. James Gazette is doubtless right
in thinking that 1t would not take much
to precipitate the storm of revolution
now threatening the Iberian peninsula.
II the presence of an American fleet. or
anything else should bring the out
break. all hope Of organized resistance
by the Spanish government would BE-
at an end. and we should then have
nothing TO do but hold whatever terri
tory We, might have taken. and wait
for the establishment of a stable regime
at Madrid before sending in our bill for
additional indemnity.
1t is certain that the harder and fast
er Mr. Mckinley pushes the war the
better of his country will be at the end
of it.

emergency In war is before the coun-
try! When the nation is armed and

in-Chief must be held up. unless we are
to regard him as iaggard, a coward
or a traitor.
In such times 1t would be dastardly
toe subordinate the interests of the
whole people to those Of party. a
monopoly or to the money which cer-
tain persons receive to Obstruct neces-
sary national measures.

still in the Future.

Tomorrow will be the day upon which
We were told the military expedition un-
der General Shafter would land near
Santiago and proceed to do business.
As a matter of fact, if it gets away
from Key West on Sunday it will be
doing well. The troops are on board the
transports chafing at the delay and un-
comfortably crowded; but they must
wait for the additional convoy vessels
from the bogy-man Spanish ships
which are cruising around in the i'm
agination of the War Board.
Thursday or Friday will be here be-
fore the expedition can possibly reach
Guantanamo. which the Navy is hold
ing for it with much impatience.
The time lost is a matter for great re-
gret. 1t has given. Cervera and Linares
an opportunity to strengthen their land
defenSes. construct entertainments and
batteries and mount modern guns from
the warships in the harbor. Failure to
get away in the middle OF last week will
cost many American lives that need not
have been sacrificed in the attack on
Santiago.
According to present intention, moth
ing will be done about Porto Rico until
Shafter and Sampson finish their task
ON the south coast of Cuba. That may
not be in a day or a week, and it is not
q cheering outlook altogether, because
the necessity for practical occupation
Of Porto Rico grows hourly. The longer
II is postponed the greater becomes the
danger of friction with Europe over a
settlement of the war. OF course, we
mean to and will have the island, but
1t would be more satisfactory to get it
without words than to be placed in a
position where We might have to resent
talk of interference.
If it be true that Everything comes
to him who waits the American peo-
pie will ultimately get off the Earth, be-
cause they have done little else but
wait since the twenty-third of April
