regular eycels the volunteer officer. 1t
Is not in battle that the main loss of
life in war occurs. Four or five men
die from disease and exposure for
every one that falls from bullet. An
immense amount of ammunition must
be fired for every man that is killed
but a malarious camp-site may deci-
mate a regiment in q few weeks. Just
now there is a great deal of talk about
the incompetency of surgeons and lack
of medical appliances in the war just
ended. But was it not of vastly more
importance that the men should have
had officers Who so far as sickness was
concerned, could have saved them
from the need of surgeons and medi-
cines? 1t would be better for a regi-
ment to have such officers with no sur
geon at all in camp than officers of an
opposite sort with q dozen surgeons
and their appliances. War is vastly
more than a parade of arms, and bat
ties. An ignorant officer kills more of
his men than the enemy.
IN case of the National Guard
believe that its proper field is in home
defense. Such members as wish to go
into the field should enlist as volun-
teers without regard to their regiment
al organizations. But as a rule it is
not q good plan for a militia regiment
to take the field for distant service. 1t
has not had the right experience and
training. A regiment may be finely
drilled, perfect in marching and in the
manual of arms, yet be practically
worthless in the field. 1t is the same
in taking parts of regiments in their
organized forms. They are not readily
combined and are difficult to handle.
But at home the National Guard regi-
ments are capable of rendering splen-
did service. Suppose an enemy were to
attack New York. We should need
1000 men on the moment to station at
the points essential in defense, and the
National Guard would be what we
should rely on for this service. 1t was
for such purposes as this that it was
organized.
''As l said at first, I believe in the
volunteers. The events of the recent
war undoubtedly will lead to the rails
ing of our standing army to a strength
of 100000 men. 1t is better that it
should not exceed that number. But
there should be a supply Of trained off,
GERS always in reserve for a much
larger force, which in case of war
could at once take command of the
volunteer regiments to be raised, and
could efficiently attend to all the de-
tails Of placing them in the field"

AS BRAVE AS REGULARS
Proper Sphere Of Action for
the National Guard
is at Home.

"Please to understand in the begin
ming that 1 believe in the volunteers as
soldiers. They are the men we must
depend on to fight our battles In any
great war. But their usefulness de-
pends largely on the way in which they
are handled"
The speaker an army officer of high
rank and reputation, had been asked
to give his opinion as TO the compara-
tive qualities shown by regular army
soldiers and volunteers.
I'm the matter of courage in the face
of danger l should make no distinction
between the two, unless to say that the

Egypt Under British Rule.

A comparison of the two years 1881
and 1897 has lately been made by Sir
E. Palmer to show to what extent
Egypt has profited under British
rule. A few figures from this return
may be briefly quoted The population
of Egypt has increased by 43 per cent
The tobacco-taX now brings in over
e1 100000 instead of G97 ,16S. This Is
trade in Egyptian cigarettes. Tobacco
is the only tax which has been raised .
many others have been reduced or
abolished altogether. Two hundred
and twelve miles of new railways have
been opened and there is a huge devel-
opment of railway and postal and tele-
graph traffic. The expenditure on pub
lie education has been raised by over
81 per cent. and the schools from 30 to
II. The number of forced men for cor
wee work is reduced from PSI 900 to H.
900. The amount of debt per head Of
the population was f14 per cent IN
1881 and is to-day 91O. Lastly, the A
per cent. Unified Debt, which is the
pulse-rate of Egyptian finance, was at
Ell in 1881 and at G106 in 1897.

Ordination of a Priest.

Rev. Austin b. Hull celebrated his
first mass at Ascension church last
Thursday morning. He was ordained
to the priesthood at the ST. Cloud Ca
thedral on Tuesday by Rt Rev. Bishop
Trobec. There was ordained at the same
time Rev. Francis O'Connor for the st.
Cloud diocese. Father Hull will go to
Wichita, Kansas. and will serve under
Bishop J. J. Hennessy. The young
priest is an Englishman and was born
in Nottingham 26 years ago. His moth
err belongs to an old English family
which has always preserved the faith,
while his father, who is now dead, was
convert from Professionalism. He made
his classical studies in st. Marys college,
Rugby. and four years ago entered ST..
Johns college, Stearns County, Mimi,
where he completed his theological
course. He will leave next week for the
Kansas diocese. His mother six broth
ers and one sister now reside in Lon
don. The Irish Standard wishes Father
Hull every success in his sacred pro-
fession.

The O'Donnells of Spain,

In the early part Of this century three
brothers named O'Donnell LETT their nat
i've country, Ireland, and went to live il
Spain, where they all had extraordinary
careers, says the New York Sun. One
died in 1867, after he had become the
duke of Tetuan, though he was better
known as Gen. O'Donnell; he was one
of the most brilliant military men Of his
time. The youngest brother was cut
off in his youth, but nothing in the
lives of the others is so strange as the
story of his death.
In 1882 there was war in Spain regard
ing the succession to the throne, and
young O'Donnell declared himself for
Isabella, who was soon proclaimed
queen; but before that time ODonnell
fell a prisoner to General Zumalacarre-
guy, leader of the Carlist forces The
young Irishman looked upon this as
almost piece of good luck, for the Car
list was an old schoofmate. The two
friends celebrated this meeting after 4
separation Of years as a festive occasion,
and as they ate supper together and
drank toasts to old times, zumolacarre-
guy said:
Your captivity will be brief, my
friend. I am just about to send off q
flag of truce to your general to negoti-
ate an exchange of prisoners, so that
you may be free tomorrow
The flag of truce was sent, but the re-
suit was terribly unexpected. The gen
eral of the Christanos that was the
name given to Isabellas partly answer
ed the Carlist envoy by saying:
II will show you how I treat rebels -
and forthwith he had all his Carlist pris-
oners brought out and shot down before
the eyes of the Christanos, and the Off
Ger had no better news than the story Of
their death to take back to his chief.
The next morning Zumalacarrequy came
into his tent, where his prisoner was
breakfasting. He sat down in silence.
What is the matter?" asked O'Don-
nell. Have you slept badly, or was
your chocolate burnt?"
II am immensely disturbed" was the
answer, and he told how the Carlist
prisoners had been shot, and added: Il
must make reprisals. My friend, in one
hours time you must be shot, no matter
how | feel about it,"
O'Donnell sat down his cup after fin
ishing his chocolate, and said:
Yes that is a matter Of course; you
must not distress yourself about it; l
would act in the same way myself. Now,
give me couple of cigarets and writ
ing materials for l must write letter
which l will trouble you to take care
of after my execution
AS he was finishing the letter the
guard came to take out the prisoner.
O'Donnell got up at once, shook hands
with the man who was both his friend
and his enemy, lit another cigaret, and
walked out to be shot.

NEWS FROM IRELAND,

When Freedom from her mountain

When Freedom from her mountain
height
unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars in glory there!
She mingled with it's glorious dyes
The milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped in pure, celestial white,
With streakings Of the morning light,
Then. from her mansions in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand,
The symbol OF her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rearst aloft thy regal form.
To hear the tempest-trumpings loud,
And see the lightning glances driven,
When strive the warriors Of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven
Child OF the sun, to thee tbs given
10 guard the banner of the free,
10 hover in the sulphur smoke,
10 ward away the battle stroke,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war.
The harbingers Of victory.
Flag of the brave, thy folds shall fly,
The sign OF hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal-trumpet tone
And the long lines come cleaning on,
Ere yet the life blood, warm and wet.
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky born glories burn,
And, as his sprngng step advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance.
And when the n-mouthings loud,
Have in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabers rise and fall,
Like shoots of flame on mdnight's pail,
Then shall the meteors glances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink be-
meath
Each gallant arm that strikes below.
mat lovely messenger of death.
Flag OF the seas! on ocean wave
my stars shall glitter DER the brave:
When DEATH careerng on the gale.
Sweeps darkly round the belied sail.
And frishted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadsidc's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea,
Shall look at once to heaven and thee
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome.
And all thy hues were born in heaven,
Forever float that standard sheet!

With freedoms soil beneath our feet.
