The foot soldier Is an anachronlsm
as archaic as the man at arms with
hla halberd or the archer with his
eloth-yard shaft The modern foot
soldier is not only a lighting machine,
he Is also beast OF burden. and no
man can be both with success. The
American infantryman equipped for
war is weighted down with rife, bayo-
net, ammunition. clothing. shelter
tent water bottle and haversack, in
all some sixty pounds in weight. II is
common belief that a soldier is 80
strong and hardy that he does not feel
the burden: that he can march ten or
fifteen miles with sixty pounds about
his body and not mind Il: that. like

this seemingly intermlnable plodding
through baking dust or clogged mud
or chilling snow, says writer in the
Forum. All the color OF war has gone.
There are no bands to make men for
get their fatigue. no waving plumes
and nuttering flags to excite the Inn
agination. no spectators TO stimulate
pride-there is no scenery even. War
is now a monochrome; everyone dress
es the same, khaki loses It's semblance
OF color and takes on the color OF the
dirt or mud OF the country through
which the army marches, and no man
sees more than the man In front OF
him or the man on each side OF him.
Hour after hour this goes on: rifles be-
come heavier, ammunition belts chaie
more gallingly. hayersaoks and water
bottles strike In tender spot. shoes
get filled with grit. which makes each
step an agony. II. after a long march
men are thrown into action, they have
lost their vim and their power OF re-
sistanee. and Il Is only by sheer nerve
that they are able TO stand up to the .
rack. Nine times out OF ten infantry |
are sent into action with their nerves
simply because they have I
been broken down by the strain which |
has been put upon them. To get the |
best results out OF men they should go .
INTO action in a perfect physical condl-

that moro care should be- exercised In

IL IL also possible that some change
might be made IN the rules which.
without detractlng materially from the
