thousands of men and boys
marched in solid platoons, could fail
to be impressed anew by the evil
dences of the magnitude of the great
industry u9on which tho eyes of the
world have heen directed during the
past weeks Of suspense that have fol-
lowed the inauguration of the anthra-
cite coal strike. When gazing upon
the legions of labor that went to make
up the great procession, one can form
some idea OF the importance of q move
that enforccs idleness upon such an
army of bread winners. The demon
strat:on. representing the most i'm
portant of the various occupations fol-
lowed by the Pennsylvania working
man, was in every way worthy of high
compliment. The military precision
with which many of the organizations
In line kept in touch with the music,
evoked admiration. and the absence of
anything approaching disorder during
the exercises. made most favorable
impression upon the citizens, who well
coined the visitors. The gathering
was orderly and well-conducted
throughout, and accomplished much
lin the way of creating general good
feeling and increasing the admiration
of the public for the brave sons of
toll who delve in black veins beneath
us in the work of developing one of
, Pennsylvania greatest resources.

place 1t Is a telling reioinder to the
Free Trade and low tariff contention
that by maintaining Protection we shut
out all foreign trade and favor mo-
nopoly, extortion and discrimination nj
home. a Republican tariff that per-
mits our manufacturers to import $780,
100000 in crude materials, or almost
twice as much as they bought under
the Democratic Wilson act. can hardly
be condemned on that ground. Again.
the same antl-Protection opposition
argues that with Protection excluding
foreign products competing with our
own we cannot expect other countries
to buy of us. But sufficient answer
Is that they do. and they are bnving
more under our high Republican tariff
than they ever did before. They pur-
chased in eight months of 1900, under

tectcd articles-that they did with the

The Weakness of France.

4 CCORDING TO the military
~ correspondent Of the London
]A Times, who has been follow
ing the French army ma
nouevres recently, France seems to be
about the only country that has not
profited by the recent military exper-
ience wherein the superiority of the
American methods Of warfare should
have been lesson to the foreign pow
ers. He states that the French have
learned nothing by observation of re-
cent events and would suffer need
less slaughter and defeat, especially
in war outside of their own coun-
try, like that of the early battles in
South Africa. He was a guest at
headquarters and his criticism is mild.
but the meaning of his continual eX-
pressions of amazement in describing
tactical manoeuvres Is apparent. With
out trying to follow technicalities Of
description, his general conclusion
from watching the manoeuvres is that
the French army clings to the old sys-
tern of hurting masses of infantry on
the critical point, making artillery and
cavalry subordinate to the main pur-
pose. The correspondent was astound-
ed to see troops marching shoulder to
shoulder and both infantry and cav
airy manoeuvring less than 1000 yards
from masses of the enemy with the
magazine rifle. When asked what
would save them from destruction,
they questioned the efficiency of gun
fire at that distance and dwelt
on the superiority of their artil-
enemy's fire. This was not British ex-
perience in South Africa.
The explanations of Headquarters
officers to the correspondents critical
suggestions were so very French.
When he pointed out that the loss
would be terrifc-the carnage so ap-
palling that no troops in the world
would have the morale to pick their
way over the bodies of their COM
rades-they allowed that There would
be losses. But they will not be as
heavy as you anticipates; the fact that
=,
will be dazzled with the glitter of our
bayonets, and will hear the music Of
our trumpets, will so confuse them
that they will fire over the heads of
the advancing lne." There seemed to
be no taking cover or lying down. On
that point. headquarters said: "Once
the men lie down we should never he
able to get them up again. The only
chance of success is to keep the men
on their feet and for the officer to
maintain complete control of his until"
There was no scouting. of course, the
country being familiar to all. What
is more strange, there seemed to be no
signal service orders being carried on
bicycles. What would this army do in
a roadless country? 1t is a queer thing
that in China only the Japanese and
Americans seem to have had signal
service.
