II have been popping seagull necks

were used for the purpose of the ex-
pertinent. After they had fred given
number of rounds it was discovered
that scarlet was far the most difficult
color to hit. For every miss at the
other colors there were three in favor
of scarlet. We will not assert that
these experiments were conclusive evil
dence in favor of our national color,
but they certainly go long way to
justify it's retention. There is much
to be said in these days of quick-firing
guns in favor of uniform which is
difficult to hit. and in this particular
scarlet undoubtedly will hold it's own
against all other colors.

ing down in volleys now. Inside two
minutes they'd caught ten Of US be

see Spaniard.
''Well, there was high grass IN the
field, and the boys stretched out quick
on their bellies, but they couldn't tell
what to fire at or what range to take,
or anything, because there was nothing
to guide them. Then they began to
huddle up together; it's sort Of human
to do that when you're in hole, and
I had to keep 'em spread out so the
boys in front wouldn't get shot by the
boys in the back. They didn't like to
hear the bullets sailing past their
heads, either, especially their own bull
lets. The worst man was that dare
body, firing his Mauser for all he was
worth.
'Cubano,' I called out, get back
here That was all the Spanish could
give him, but he understood and
minded.
"'What shall we shoot at, lieuten-
ant?' asked some Of the men near me.
"'Shoot at the block-house, shoot at
the top of the hill. That's where they
are. Don't shoot at the thicket.'
"And then for minute or so they
fired away as steady as a practice
squad. Fire, haul back your bolt,
close your bolt, aim, fire, pull back
your bolt,' and so on. You know we
have five cartridges in our rifle maga-
zines all the time, but we keep them
in reserve. Usually we load in fresh
cartridge every shot"
"Were you lying down all this time,
lieutenant?" asked.
He looked at me in surprise. "How
the devil do you think could get the
range with my nose in the grass? No,
sir; was kneeling on my left knee.

through his stomach, and he died the
next morning.

didn't squeal.
"I can't help you, old chap said I.
I'm hit, too.'
"Pretty soon there were so many of
us hit that the order came to get back
into the road, and two lads caught hold
of me and dragged me through the
grass. Say, they were pretty good
about it; they didn't seem to be in any
hurry at all. Out in the road one of
them cut off the leg of my trousers and
