ARE OFFICERS RECKLESS 2
General Miles Says Americans Are
Not NeedIessly So.

New York, July ga special to the
Herald from Washington. says:
Col Llscum's death while leading the
Ninth United States infantry in the
fight of the allied forces at Tien Tsin
has led many to ask If our officers are
not nee dlessly reckless while under fire.
Gen. Miles, answering this question.
said. american officers are as brave
as any n the world They rank as high
in yalol' as the officers Of any European
government. Neither in Cuba nor in
Porto Rico did they needlessly expose
themselves Col Liscum met his death
at the head Of his regiment, and here I
might say that the war records will
show that the percentage of colonies
killed in action is greater in proportion
to their number than those killed or any
other grade.
THE colonePs place is with his regi-
ment, and when it advances he gen
orally leads 1t is his duty to discover
the position of the enemy and to keep
his men in an advantageous position
Officers are always a mark for the en-
envy ana the duties or a colonel natur-
ally expose him more or less UnmOunt-
ed the colonel is at a disadvantage, as
he cannot so readily review the enemy's
position nor so quickly cover ground
Mounted ne is more easily a target for
the sharpshooters of the opposing force.
The colonel is generally to be found
with the colOrs in the center Of the
regiment. the lieutenant colonel COM
mandtng the right wing and the senior
major the left The regiment guides on
the colcrs IF they are advanced the
command moves forward If they are
moved back the alignment Is still kept
by a backward movement. Next to the
colonel the most dangerous position is
that Of cOlOr-bearer, and I saw at the
battle of Antietam twelve men success
sively killed as they one by one picked
UP and carried on the colors.'
The general was reminded of the criti-
cisn of our officers at Santiago by the
German attache who watched the OPP
eratiOns OF the Americans, who said
they were needlessly and wantonly
reckless. AS % this the general asks
if the German attache was an author
ity- He said he did not agree with him
and was OF the opinion that the Ger
man was greatly mistaken.
General Miles refused to discuss
whether or not the English officers were
reckless in their war in South Africa,
saying he was not in a position to ex-
press an opinion on that matter.

REVOLUTIONARY HEROINE.

IFrom the Ladies' Home Journal
Deborah Sampson, Massachusetts
girl, was one of the real herOines of the
revolutionary war. Under the name of
Robert Shurtlef she enlisted in the con-
tinental army and served valiantly in
many hard-fought engag ements. While
the army was stationed at West Point
the true courage Of this dauntless wo-
man was shown by her constant volun-
teering to go upon scouting duty a
great deal of scouting was done and
Robert Shurtleff was always at the
front Of the party, the most fearless OF
all, leading the others and inspiring
them by her utter fearlessness. On one
of these expeditions she was twice
wounded She begged her companions
to leave her, as she preferred to be left
behind rather than to enter the hospital
to have her wounds dressed Her COM
rades would not heed her. She was
placed on one of the horses in front OF
another soldier and taken to the hospf-
tai of French encampment. When the
surgeon came to dress her wounds she
pointed to the one in her head, but said
nothing about the other After the sur
geOn's departure she extracted the bail
from her hip with a peuknife, having
carefully observed the manner in which
he had removed the other.
