THE WASTE OF WAR.
By CHARLES B. LEWIS.

Why It Costs So Mech to Send Forth Arnies.

Should the war with Spain last for
five years and should it be carried into
every one of her possessions, there
would be no such waste as was wit
messed during the dark days .f the
sixties. There would be no call to
gather such great armies-no demand
for such supply depots- Few ms who
have not been through campaign can
comprehe nd the waste and destructive-
ness of war. \ soldier in the field is
imbued with a spirit of recklessness
which is a surprise to himself He is
not only fierce to destroy the property
of the enemy, but he is wasteful of his
rations and all else served out to him
by the government. Let the commits
gary issue five days rations to 1000
men, and at the end of three not one
man in twenty will have an ounce of
food left. Let the quartermaster issue
1000 tents, and inside of fortnight
half of them will show rents, cuts and
burns. No sooner is new musket in
the hands of a soldier than he defaces
the stock by cutting his initials there
on. Three men out of five would sooner
draw and pay for new blous, than
to patch a hole in an old one, The
waste in and around any camp con-
tanning brigade is hundreds of dol
lars per day. The grimness of war
begins when an army corps takes up
its march through the enemy's coun-
try. Its march may be resisted or n OF,
but the results are the same. 1t is
waste and destruction from the begin
ming. No matter how stringent The or
ders to the advance guard. men will
break away to right and left to plum
der and destroy. BY the time 10000

new base the question OF saving this
vast accumulation was hardly uebat
ed. 1t is always the army to be saved
given to sending off supplies over the
line of retreat, and the orders related
only to ammunition and food. All else
was to be sacrificed. and was sacri-
feed, and in military sense the end
justified the commanders Judgment.
1t was ordered that the torch be made
ready for everything which would
burn, and 5000 soldiers entered on the
work with exultation. The forage
would burn of itself, as was the case
with the wagons and the barrels of
flour and the boxes of hard tack. The
writer was one Of those assigned to de-
stroy the great piles of beef and pork.
They were all treated alike. The heads
of the coffee barrels were knocked in,
their contents strewn about and the
slaves used for kindling wood. Hay
was mixed with them fence rails and
wagon boxes added TO the fuel, and
then thousands of candles were thrust
into the smaller crevices. As soon as
the retreat was under way the piles
were fired, and so thorough was he de-
struction in the case Ct the meat that
the pursuing confederates did not Sc
cure a barrel. They Jared better in
other directions, however. The haste
to be gore and the feeling of panic
which seized upon many Of those as
signed to the work of destruction, left
great heaps of beans, coffee and hard
tack untouched by the flames. 1t was
so of much of the forage and large
share of the medical stores. The piles
Of meat continued to burn for weeks,
and the odor was carried miles away
on the wind. The cash value of the sup
plies represented over $7.o00.9oo, and
probably half Of this was saved 10 the

solely to volunteers. There was a
large remount camp for the cavalry
at Pleasant Valley, near Harper's
Ferry, during the last two years of the
war. When horse became saddle
CALLED or otherwise unfit he was sent
back to the camp, if within reaching
distance. A few may have been re-
stored to the ranks, but the greater
number were shot after brief nspec-
ton. Probably nine out of ten would
have recovered in a few weeks if
turned out, but they were neither
turned out, sold at auction or given
away. They were shot down and bur-
led by the thousands, and nearly every
animal represented loss Of 500. The
soldier sees reckless waste and wanton
destruction on every hand when he
enters camp, and it is not to be won
derCd Mt that he soon comes to hold
human life as part and parcel of the
general policy.
When Mcclellan Retrented.
Never was an army more abundantly
supplied than McClellan's before Rich
mond. From White House Lan!ing to
his camps on the Chlckahominy al
most every field was covered with sup
plies. In one great heap, covered with
;arpaulins, would be 10000 barrels Of
pork, beef or flour; in another, the
same number of bales of hay or sacks
of oats; in third. quartermaster
stores to the value of 100000. In one
field was park of 500 wagons and am
balances. More than 10000 extra
horses and mules had been brought
down, and there were thousands of
beef cattle to slaughter for daily use.
When it was decided to retreat to a

men have passed, the foragers are at
work for Il distance of three or four
miles on each side of The road. They
sack houses, burn barns and drive off
live stock. A division has scarcely
passed before the country is denuded.
To revenge themselves for lack of
plunder, men will hack at fruit and
shade trees, set fire to fences AMI fields
and heap fresh fuel on the flames
which have already consumed farm

GERMANY Is FRIENDLY
Official Conditions at Washington Are
Satisfactory,
No Danger Of Germany Protesting Americas
Far East POllCy-A Significant
Call.

Washington, November 29.-
Baron Speck Won Sternberg,
Charge d'Affaires of Germany,
called at the State Department to-
day and had a conference with
Secretary Hay on current topics,
particularly those growing out of
the late war, in the course of
which Baron Speck took occasion
to express the most friendly senti-
ments on the part of Germany
concerning the present state of
affairs.
The call was chiefly significant
as an evidence that German Off
Gals desire to counterfeit the re-
ports that Germany is about to as
sumo an attitude of protest to lay
claim to the Sulu archipelago,
which is to be included in the
peace negotiations at Paris.
Baron Speck's call gave rise to
sensational published reports to
the effect that he had presented a
protest from Germany against in
reference with the Sulu islands.
In view of these reports it was
stated tonight in an authoritative
quarter that the Sulu islands were
not mentioned during the talk,
which was of a most friendly
character.
Although the cable reports have
shown that the German press is
considerably wrought up over the
policy of the United States in the
Far East and is urging the Gov
eminent to make protest, nothing
has developed in official quarters
up to the present time to show
that there is any purpose on the
part of the German Government
to heed such be!ligerent sugges-
tions. On the contrary, the call
of Baron Speck today gives assur-
ances that Germany accepts with
out question the outcome Of the
peace negotiations.
