Sam Houston gave to his troops at the
battle of San Jacinto, the fight which
gave freedom and independence to
Texas
| Colonel Travis was In command of
about 1856 Texan soldiers in the fort CALI
ed the Alamo at Bexar. There he was
surrounded by a greatly superior force
under the Mexican dictator, Santa
! Anna.
| On the morning of the 9Th OF March.
| 1886. the little garrison Of the Alamo
capitulated. on the pledge of the Mexi-
can general that their lives would be
spared. Notwithstanding this pledge
Colonel Travis and his entire force were
massacred as soon as they had surren-
dered. Their dead bodies were gathered
together, huge pile Of wood was heap
ed upon them. and they were burned to
ashes This fearful act of barbaritys
stirred the Texans to intense wrath and
implanted In their breasts a fierce thirst
for vengeance. On April ID. 1886. Gem
eral Houston. with about 700 men. gave
battle at San Jacinto to Santa Anna,
with nearly three times the number Of
Mexicans, and. in spite of the disparity
~
the Mexicans like chaff before the wind.
1t was more slaughter than battle.
| Just before the assault OF the Texans
was made on the army Of Santa Anna
Houston addressed his soldiers in fer
vid speech, closing with the words
Remember the Alamo!" These words
fell upon the ears OF the Texans with
wonderful effect. Every soldier IN the
| little army at the same instant repeat
ed the words "the Alamo until they
became a shrek for revenge that struck
terror TO the souls OF the Mexicans.
When the battle was over il was found
that only 10 Texans had been killed.
while $50 Mexicans were left dead on the
ned.
Remember the AIamo," was evident-
ly battlecry that not only nerved the
arms OF the avengers. but paralyzed
the resistance of the Mexicans.

the pick OF his veteran followers. the
hardest and best trained soldiers under
arms at that date.
Wilson's great southern expedition
had for its object as planned at army
headquarters, a demonstration in favor
or an attack by another and a larger
force upon the Confederate stronghold
at Mobile, but the gallant leader made
the enterprise something more than a
mere parade OF forces. He turned il
into a fighting campaign, which result
ed In the destruction OF Forrest at one
swoop, the capture OF Selma, Ala, done
by mounted charge upon breastworks,
and the speedy conquest OF Alabama
and Georgia. Thus there was no south
west open as an asylum for the Con-
federate government when driven out
OF Virginia. How these raiding troop
ers took town after town and fort after
fort, finally heading off and capturing
the Confederate cabinet. is well known
history. All this was done by leader
still in his twenties.

Contrary to the general expectation,
there Is a prospect that the army has
hard work ahead In driving Spain from
her colonies. At the present time the
troops ready to take the field number
as many as were ever got together for q
single campaign during the civil war.
Given troops. the next requisite is able
leaders, and in this respect the country
is most fortunate. Miles, Merritt and
Brooke, In the order named, stand in
the same relation to our armies as
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan did at
the close OF the civil war In 1865.
For the present situation 1851 offers
no parallel with respect to leaders. The
majority OF those who came to the front
then had never held rank above that OF
captain. A few had reached the rank

even better than that OF those now hold

The commander OF the Army of the

major general acting as second in COM

Therefore in directing the forces in

The story OF his deeds is too long TO be

cited which stamps him as a master.
When Bragg led the army from Chatta-

or Kentucky. with enemies all around

and his cavalry stood guard at every
crossroads. Mt every bridge and at the
gates OF every city from the Tennessee

rels at his expense. Ise was the life
and soul OF the conflict on the Confed-
crate side at the battle of Trevilian
Station. where Sheridan suffered une-
quivocal defeat and was forced TO retire
his cavalry upon Grants main lines.
In the Appomattox campaign Lee never
shirked a fight with Sheridan's strong
squadrons, although his wornout band
was no match for the fresh and well
equipped enemy, but he was literally
mobbed by the troopers in blue at the
wind up. The gallant but forlorn de-
fense of Five Forks, the key TO Peters
burg. was due solely TO Fitz- Hugh Lees
energy and courage. so also the action
at Appomattox which drove back
Grants infantry and opened the road
for the Army OF Northern Virginia to
reach the courthouse.
AS for Wilson, whose career in the
north offers some parallels TO that OF
his frequent antagonist, Fltz-Hugh Lee.
II is doubtful whether there was in the
Federal army another leader who ac-
complished as much toward scoring the
final result as did he during the IL
months OF his cavalry service, from
May. 1854. TO May, 1866. He led di-
vision under Sheridan in the campaign
from the Rapidan TO the James and aft
er the siege OF Petersburg began cx-
ecuted one OF the most daring and sue
cessful raids of the war In the east.
With 6.000 troopers he passed the out
posts and rushed 100 miles into the ene-
my's lines. After destroying 80 miles Of
the railroad between Petersburg and
Lynchburg, the main line of supply for
the besieged in Petersburg, Wilson
darted away south and west to the road
between Richmond and Danville. That
important feeder was destroyed for 30
miles and stripped OF all equipment and
stock.
News OF this daring raid brought. to
the field all the mounted men OF the
southern army on the James, and the
militia OF the invaded territory rushed
to arms. Every crossroads had it's guard.

commands under the generals in chief
on both sides were divisions The Con-
federates did not form corps d armees
until they had brought together large
forces TO cope with the great armies OF
the enemy-that Is. late in 1862.
Two divisions may constitute an ar

seldom more than three. permanently
attached TO one corps. The division it
self is made up of two brigades or more.
but the usual formation is three bril-
gades. A brigade comprises from four
to six regiments and numbers from 1000
TO 5000 men. Hence a division numbers
from 1000 to 10000 men and a corps
d'armee from $4,000 to 10000.
The idea of an army corps is that IL

place. and n one OF these also goes down
the third directs the entire force. But
II Is not simply for the training OF army
commanders that the corps are consti-
tuted. The corps must be in itself a
tremendous bolt Of war.
A glance at the records OF the corps
commanders now I'm the field shows
that in point OF experience they are
ideal for the work in hand. The same
may be asserted OF those handling ar
mics. Miles did not reach the position
OF corps commander during the civil
war except temporarily. but he COM
manded "a crack fighting division in one
OF the best corps Of the army for over a
year. In every place assigned him. from
captain TO major general, he was an all
round soldier and leader.
Merritt held high commands in the
field under Sheridan He commanded
cavalry division over a year and in
the last campaign directed the entire
cavalry force of Grants army at Pc
tersburg. Brooke's highest permanent
command in the field was a brigade,
but he at times led division.
Lee, Wilson and Wheeler each led
what was called corps OF cavalry.
The term corps as applied to cav
airy has a different meaning from that
intended in speaking OF infantry. The
mounted force operating with an army
is placed under one leader and is known
as the cavalry corps. Lee commanded
division in Stuart's cavalry corps
over a year. On the death OF Stuart he
assumed command of the corps for a
time and then led his own division as
an Independent command. In the last
campaign he commanded all the caval-
ry OF the Army of Northern Virginia.
