THE MODERN SOLDIER.


In view of the greater force, range
and rapidity of the modern fire arms
war would seem to be more perilous
than ever before, but results show that
modern battles are not more deadly
than those OF our civil war. Tactics
have changed, Instead of massing
troops the modern method is to de-
ploy them after the style Of the
sKirmish line. engagements are
fought at greater distances also,
because of the greater range of bull
let's and projectiles.
The comforts of war have certainly
increased. Camp outfits, including
especially cooking apparatus, are
superior. The modern methods of
canning and dessicating Of food,
the substitution of aluminium for
heavy iron utensils and many other
improvements make the life of a
soldier more worth living.
In addition to the articles provided
by the government In its clothing and
ration allowances, the man with
gun is now allowed TO buy and have
pipes, tobacco, soap, writing materials,
pens, basins, blacking, brushes, silk
handkerchlefs, matches, towels; and,
ia addition to his menu, cheese.
canned igoods, dried fruits, develed
ham, preserves, sauce, pickles, jauu,
ginger, spices and cranberry sauce.
Liquor is not permitted.
While the government is necessar-
lily strict in its regime, the progress
Of Invention has done much for the
soldiers aud the government Is DIS
posed TO give him every reasonable
comfort that does not interfese with
health and efficiency as a soldier.
