by the Boer war that Secretary Root
has given Instructions that The reports
of the American army officers who have
been sharply watching the South Afra-
can military operations Be published In
pamphlet form for the benefit OF the
service. Tactical reports from officers
who participated In the campaign
against Santiago de Cuba and the oper-
ations In the Philippines will also be
called to the attention of officers OF the
army.
Capt. Stephen L H. Slocum. Eighth
cavalry, who Is with the British army.
and Capt. Karl Reichman, with the Boer
forces, do not hesitate in their reports
to criticise the commander Of the OPP
posing forces. Criticisms passed by
Lord Roberts upon Gems. Butler, Me-
thuen and Gatacre are repeated by
Capt. Slocum.
Capt. Reichman's reports are gener-
ally highly Gathering to the Beers,
speaking Of their splendid mobility
and in general of their defensive tao
tics, though citing that their fnilure to
take the offensive has frequently lost
them a valuable advantage.
Officers OF the army who have been
closely following the war say that
while the lessons taught cannot be re-
garded as especially new, the opera
tons have substantinted these inpor~
tant conclusions:
The avoidance of frontal attacks
upon m cnemy's position. especially in
close order formation.
The necessity of having the latest
small arms and artillery.
The undesirsbility of risldng arai-
lery, as Gen. Butler did at eolenso.
The value OF effective scouting.
The presence of ample cavalry and
artillery.
Brig. Gen. A W. Greedy, chief signal
officer, made this statement regarding
conclusions he had drawn as o result of
the war:
.sThe South African war will do more
TO preserve peace during the next 20
years. than The Hague conference or
anything OF that character. The tre-
mendous efficiency Of modern arms Cd
precision, using smokeless powder. on
ground specially suited for defense. has
been made so apparent by this war that
every. military student has learned the
almost impossibihty of capturing any
difficult position, especially BY frontal
attack

rendering retreat imperative"
