WE MUST HAVE AN ARMY
GEN. WHEELER'S STATEMENT OF
THE LESSON OF THE WAR.
A Large Force OF Professional SOL
diers the Need of the Country
Changes in Warfare.
New York Commercial Advertiser.


I'VE must have an army"
These words were spoken by Major Cen
eral Wheeler to-day. not in disparagement
of the shattered though victorious army
now at Camp wikoff but as a concise
statement of the lesson of the war.
Probably no one to-day understands bet
ter than General Wheeler what vast
changes modern science has wrought in the
art of fighting, and it is because he under
stands this that he emphasizes the military
need of the country.
General Wheeler's remark was called
forth by reference to the next meeting of
Congress. in which the general will sit, and
which will have to consider the important
question of the reorganization of our army
General Wheeler would in any case nave
far-reaching influence over the deliber-
ations of that body in reference to military
affairs, but his position will be far more
important than that merely Of a member
whose wide experience entities his opinions
to great respect. General Wheeler has been
invited by Mr.. Hull, the chairman of the
military committee, to assist in the prep
aration of the new army bill The gen.
erals words. therefore, have a peculiar
significance, for it is more than probable
that the changes which Congress will make
in our military system will be carried out
along the lines suggested by him.
General Wheeler discussed his views at
considerable length to-day, recounting by
way of Illustration some of his experiences
in Cuba and comparing them with those
of the war of 1S61-65. 1t is difficult for one
to realize when talking to General
Wheeler that this Slight, fragile-looking
man, whose manners are uniformly mild
and gentle. whose speech flows in the soft
est of tones, accompanied by simple ges-
lures is he whom they call Fighting Joe" "
1T is only by a sentence now and then that
one realizes the truth of this soldier nick
name. But it needs only few of these
sentences to convince one of the vigor of
any policy the general might advocate.
Mr.. Hull has asked me to meet him
shortly before Congress opens in Decem-
ber," said General Wheeler, and assist in
the work of drawing up the new army bill:
For we must have an army. The expert
ences of this war have shown that. The
secretary of war said to me recently that
he thought we should have an army OF one
hundred thousand men, and Mr.. Hull Will
draw up a bill on that basis

NOT A LARGE FORCE.

General Wheeler did not say 1t in so many
words, hut he made it easy to infer from
what he said that he should not consider a
considerably larger force inadvisable. He
went on to explain why q large regular
army has become necessary. The reason is
the difficulties experienced by volunteer
troops under modern methods of fighting.
This war has made very clear to me"
he said, 1.-The cruelty ard futilty of taking
men from the counting room and putting
them in the battlefield when lighting is car
ried on as 1t is at the present time.
You see, our tactics have changed COM
pletely since the war of 6l-65 Formerly
we used to wait until we were within close
range-LwO or three hundred yards at
most-before we opened fire, and fire in
such cases was pretty generally effective
Now we open fire at 800 yards, and unless
, the officers and men have had great deal
Of practice the firing at that distance is
pretty certain to be ineffective. 1t takes
long training to learn to get the range at
such a distance, and success depends more
upon the officers than upon the men.
You see, the way they do is this: They
learn how much they can see of a man at
a given distance; then when they see SO
much they estimate the distance accord
ingly. 1t takes years of practice to learn
to do this, but the regular officers get sur
prisingly skillful at it, and can tell almo.t
exactly from a mans appearance how far
away he is. All they have to do then, when
they have estimated the distance, is to tell
the men to fix their sights fer the proper
number Of yards. And when the men tire
they hit the target, or come pretty near it.
Now, the volunteers have not sufficient
training to enable them to fire with any de-
gree of accuracy at a distance of 500 yards.
The proba bility is when they ire at SUCH
a distance tEeir shots will fall 800 yards
short.
I'm the war of 1861 the men were using
weapons with which they were familiar,
rifles, and even shotguns. But in the vol
unteer regiments that took part in this war
there were many men, they tell me, who
had never fired shot.
Now, when the regular gets under fire
he realizes that the thing for him to do is
to make it so hot for the enemy that he
will have to get out of his way, either to
hit him or send the bullets so near him
that he will withdraw or seek cover. The
regular knows how to do this. His fire is
effective and that is his best protection.
But when the volunteer gets under fire,
hears the bullets flying around him, and
knows that his efforts to get at the enemy
are ineffective, he has no choice but to stay
and be killed or to withdraw.
