Tho Other Yinw.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: I read
complaints OF this and that detail in the con-
duct and administration OF the war, but Of
what consequence are they as compared with
the splendid and comprehensive demonstra-
tion OF the genius for military management and
the invincible valor OF the American people
which this war has furnished to all the world ?
Never before was there a war 50 brief which
accomplished results so difficult OF achieve
ment. SO magnificent. and so far reaching.
And the loss OF life by battle or by disease Inns
been relatively small. though we have trans
ported troops 1000 miles away In the Carib-
bean and 1000 miles away in the Pacific.
In three months the contest is over. The death
rate in the home camps most under censure IL
low comparatively. 1t offers no justification
for accusations OF neglect.
Glorious troops. happy troops, spared from
such awful suffering as long war imposes. yet
completely victorious! Do not let us detract
from the glory due to their manly endurance
by assuming that they are now Stockings.
NEW YORK. Aug. rs. VETERAN.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1898-08-28
We Go Up on the List.

In Report No. 2,4s9, made at the second
session Of the Fifty-second Congress by
the House Committee on Naval Affairs,
there is an Appendix B. which it is worth
while to recall at this time.
The subject dealt with is the relative rank
OF our navy among the navies OF the world.
The first table gives our rank in 1850, or
just before the civil war, as sixth on the list,
the order being as follows: Great Britain,
France, Russia, Spain, Sweden and Norway,
United States.
The second list gives the relative rank
in 1886, which shows that our country
must have had prolonged and remark
able tumble Great Britain, France, Italy,
Russia, Germany, Spain, Austria, China,
Japan, Holland, Sweden and Norway, Tur-
key, Denmark, Greece, Brazil, Argentina,
Chill, Portugal, United States, Peru, Mexico.
There was something almost humorous,
if also humiliating, in thus considering Por-
tugal, Peru, and Mexico as naval powers,
and sandwiching our country between them.
The period thus taken by the House COM
mittee for its reckoning was the one which
marked the beginning of our new steel feet.
Finally the committee gave a third list,
denoting the rank of the various navies
when vessels now authorized or building
are completed: Great Britain, France,
Italy, Russia, Germany, Spain, United
States, and so on.
The date of that report was Feb. 10,
1893, and evidently it looked forward sew
eral years before we should reach the
exalted position it ventured to predict. But
the United States Navy is already ahead of
the place thus indicated. Everybody knows
where Spain is, compared with us. AS to
Germany, taking into consideration our
ships now building or authorized and the
experience of our personnel in actual war
fare, we cannot for a moment admit our in
feriority to her. Italy may make a large
showing of ships on her list, but can any
body doubt the result Of pitting her feet
against ours in combat, especially after our
ships now ordered are ready for sea?
Fourth place, in fact, is the very lowest
we can accept on such q list as the
House committee drew up a little more
than five years ago; and even then we
should not be much frightened at the pros
pect of an attack from a naval power ranked
above us.

A CaImer View.

The l~ightningllke rapidity with which
the public mind has changed from exalta
tlon at the army's triumph to complaints
Of its discomforts, and tho tremendous
agitation against the War Departments
shortcomings in s~uccorlng the sick anC
wounded, are not unnatural. The spirit o.
criticism has been released by peace. Sym
patty for human suffering, vigorously and
periodically suppressed during the uncer'
tainty OF war, breaks through its former
barriers like an overwhelming flood. When
men go into battle the public are silent,
Death they will bow to without q murmur.
But after the struggle is over they cannot
think OF the consequent suffering with equal
stoicism, and they become filled with rage,
without mercy, and often without reason,
against any imperfections in the care OF the
survivors.
A blunder in actual fight that would cost
the lives Of a brigade would discredit a
commander and arouse pity for him; a
slip that would prevent the greatest
possible relief to the sick and wounded
would disgrace him, and bring down
upon him unrestrained resentment. The
motto, millions for defence. not a cent for
tribute" has a counterpart for application
to war;: GAS many lives as may be needed
for victory, but none that can be saved in
peace" peace being any period Of rest be-
tween battles as well as after.
Much of the public feeling over the con-
dition OF the Santiago army has been, no
doubt, exaggerated and h~ysterical, not to
say politically malicious. But, on the other
hand, veterans who look on 1t with
amazement when remembering the in
tinitely greater trials Of the soldiers
in the civil war, are not ware that the
standards OF war have risen like everything
else. 1t was long after the hostilities Of
1851 began before the organization Of the
Sanitary Commission. There is now in the
Red Cross a standing international agency
to do the Sanitary Commissions work, hold
ing its place in many countries, this one
among them, by treaty.
The War Department itself has shown
how things have changed. On July % Sec
rotary ALGER, addressing the public through
an apparently private letter, as President
CLEVELAND did in his to "My Dear
CATCHNGs," wrote a letter for publication
to his friend Gen. DODGE, rebuking the
general clamor by calling his old army
friend to witness that the troubles were
unavoidable. Last week he visited Mon
tauk Point in person and revolutionized the
camp for the better.
The time will come, though, when all the
army faults and their results, and ever the
investigation, if there is one, and
its findings. will be forgotten in the uni
versal and indelible pride at the army's
at Santiago.
