Favorable Criticism of American Soldier

London, June A-Some interesting I'm
pressions and criticisms OF the Ameri-
can soldiers have appeared this week
from the pens Of English war CORE
~spcndents with the army Of invasion.
The opinions are on the whole favor

of the American regulars. He said:

States private has nothing to keep
clean except his rife Snd bayonet. He
carries no contrivances for polishing
buttons, boot or the dozens OF bits OF
REQUIREMENT deemed essential to a
good soldier In Europe"
AZ to discipline. the correspondent
writes: The firing discipline during the
three times we nave been under nre
has been excellent. The obedience OF the
soldiers to their officers has been as
prompt and intelligent as anything l
have seen In Europe. and as to GOODNESS
under fire and accuracy OF aim. h l
have seen Is most satisfactory. The
men evidently regard their Officers as
soldiers OF equal courage and superior
technical knowledge. In my intimate In

officer addressing a private otherwise
than IL usual when a gentleman issues
an order. During the engagement at
Cabanas the orders were issued As
quietly as at any other time and the
men went about their work n steadily
as blue jackets on a man-of-war."
The Times Is very severe on the dress
uniform OF the American army. The
correspondent says: For dress occa-
sions the American uniform Is far n
away the ugliest and most useless OF all
the uniforms ! know. The parade uni
form has been designed by a lot OF I'M
soldierly politicians and tailors about
washington. Their notion Of military
glory 10 confused with memories of St.

thorissd by congress will be opened by
the treasury department as soon as the
bill Is signed by the president, and will
close ats p. m. July IA. This gives am

channel will be used to disseminate in
the widest possible manner informa-
ton regarding this issue and to make

a A great number of subscriptions
have been received In advance Of the
passage Of the act. and there 10 every
reason to believe that the issue will be
largely over-subscribed.
BY the terms of the law the allot-
ment will be peculiar. The law provides
thai h smallest subscriptions shall be
first allotted and the allotments mad
inversely In accordance with those Of
the subscriptions. That will result in
q line being sharply drawn at some
point, and all subscriptions for an
amount exceeding that sum will re-
ceive no allotment whatever. The pre-
caution Ia taken to prevent individuals
repeating subscriptions. and thus get
ting an undue advantage. The law pro-
vides that all individual subscriptions
must be allotted first. and. therefore.
subscriptions from corporations n as
sociations other than individuals will
only receive an allotment In the event
that the individual subscriptions fall
