tsught the drill manual of the gun, who
have learned to load, to adjust the sight or
quadrant, and to fire, thereby become pro-
ficient artilierymen. There could net be a
more erroneous idea.
With d Chinese veneration for tradi-
ton, our artillery is still organized into
regiments OF a fixed number of batteries
of definite strength long after any occa-
sion for such organization has existed. In
the infantry and cavalry the regiment Is
an absolutely Indispensable unit, both for
fighting and administration. two or more Of
which units form a brigade.
In the coast artillery not only is there
no need for a regimental unit, but it is
absolutely an incumbranee. An artillery
regiment never has been. and never vi l
be, fought as an artillery unit In no
proper sense is it even an administrative
unit. Under our regulations and customs
Of the service the regimental commander
has no control over the instruction, drill
discipline or administration of batteries
beyond his post. His impress disappears
at the limits of his command.
There is no more reason why coast bat
teries should have fixed number of ser
geants corporals. and men than should
men in their crews. The Navy is very
much in advance of the artillery in this
respect The crew of a battleship, of
cruiser, or of a gunboat is adequate to its
needs. fort has a fixed number of guns,
an electrical plant and a system of fire
control and direction. BY the drill regu
lations a certain number of men are re-
quired to operate them; the garrison, then,
should be sufficient to man the fort, with
an allowance for guard, reserves, and the
sick 1t needs no more and should have
no less
The strength of the coast artillery
should be fixed today at the number OF
officers and men required to fully man the
forts with their armaments now mounted
or provided for This strength is abso-
lutely independent of any tactical relation
to the infantry or cavalry 1t would re
main the same if there were no infantry
or cavalry. or If we had an army Of 100000
or 200 000 men. The field artillery Will ac-
company divisions. corps, and armies in
the field. II has, therefore. tactical re-
lation to the other arms of the line. and
its strength should depend upon the total
strength of the line of the Army.
